Very pleased with our renting experience-

Guest: Margaret (Columbia SC USA)
Date of Stay: 05/03/12 Review Submitted: 05/16/12

The owner was a stranger to our family- he made this rental agreement the easiest I have ever had- he emailed a reminder and made sure everything was in order before our arrival- the condo is very clean and roomy and convenient to the pool and beach. We would suggest this condo to all our friends and family.

Owner response:So kind .Thank you!We always strive to make our guests most comfortable and happy.A vacation should be full of happy and fun relaxing time. Thank you and hope to accommodate you again soon. Alain

St. Augustine Getaway

Date of Stay: 04/14/12 Review Submitted: 04/30/12

Alain: Well we are finally re-adjusting to a normal life! I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how much we enjoyed St Augustine(did the little red train ride) and all plus some restaurants that you had recommended - A1A Ale Works, Harry's, Sunset Grill, O.C. White's. - rest stop was at Ann O'Malley's(great sandwiches and bloody mary's). We did not go to Le Pavillon since it seemed to only have inside seating and we only wanted to be outside with a view of the water or up on the verandas. You condo was wonderful - it was great to wake up and sit on the porch and have coffee overlooking the pool or a quick walk to the beach to see the morning sun. When we arrived and on our last morning was the only time we had on the beach - in front of the Beachcomber restaurant. The water was great! We could have stayed at least one more day! Thanks Again, Tom & Peggy Sue

Owner response:It was a pleasure working with you Tom and Peggy.I am happy to know you a great vacation and a wonderful stay in our Beach Home.If I can be of service in the future please let me know. Alain

The condo had plenty of room for all of us and had everything we needed. I enjoyed looking at the pool from the master bedroom and seeing the ducks in the pond. The beach was a short walk from the condo. It was nice to have a choice of two pools. This will be a sweet 16 party to be rememebered! Thanks so much for letting us stay over the weekend!

My girlfriends and I stayed at this condo during spring break and let me tell you....it was awesome. Most teens my age go to Panama City because it's the "cool" place to go but this place was amazing. The beach was only a few steps from our door. St.Augustine is really relaxing too. I loved Old Town and feeding the pigeons next to the water. It was beautiful. St.Augustine is a historical town and I would recommend it, and this condo especially, to anyone in need of a vacation.

My stay at this condo was one of the best vacations I've had with my family! My husband, my kids, and I stayed here over Thanksgiving. The condo and the whole complex itself was so clean. The unit was so welcoming and was just a step to the pool and beach. The owner provided us with great service and really followed through in making sure we were 100% satisfied. I would highly recommend a stay here to all my friends and family! We really enjoyed going and taking strolls in old town and eating at many of their fine restaurants. Of them, I would have to say Harry's was my favorite. There are so many things to do in St. Augustine, that you can't fit them all into just one stay. I will definately be contacting the owner again in the future for another, longer stay in his beautiful condo!!

We have been to St Augustine many times and always stayed at the same place.This time that place which is considered by most very exclusive was going a face lift.We decided we will try this very beautiful condo on the beach.The pictures in the listing are true,the description didn't do this place justice.The owner was very pleasant and eager to assisst with anything.We loved the feel of this place and will stay there again and again.Thank you Alain for having us.

Perfect Family Vacation mac1212 Ocklawaha, Fl. 32179. Date Submitted: August 05, 2008 Date of Stay: July 2008 We have just returned from our vacation in St. Augustine in this wonderful complex and condo. This makes two years in a row for us and we have already made arrangements to return in July of 09. The accomadations are wonderful. Our family thoroughly enjoyed "our home away from home." The pools are great, we enjoy the pool closest to the beach because it is less busy during the day and perfect for our grandchildren, although the older kids enjoy the pool that is visiable from the balcony. We enjoy preparing meals in the kitchen as well as dining at the local resturants, with the Sunset Grille being among our favorites. Sunrise runs on the beach were only surpassed by the moon light walks. Of course a trip or two to the "Old City" is a must, as is a visit to the Fort. We even managed to get in a couple of rounds of golf. Thank you, thank you for making our stay so enjoyable. We are looking forward to our return in July of 09.

5/5 Our Great Trip to St. Augustine Maggie54 Massachusetts. Date Submitted: July 29, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008 We stayed at this condo in St. Augustine Beach the first week of June, 2008. Our group consisted of my husband and myself, my elderly mother and our three college age daughters. The condo lived up to its description as it was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. We had a great view of one of the complex's pools from our interior balcony and could see the ocean from the balcony outside the condo's front door. The entire complex was very well cared for with neatly groomed, tasteful landscaping and buildings. It was quite a paradise for us Northeners! We enjoyed the pools and the ocean each of the perfect blue sky, 80 - 90 degree days we were there. St. Augustine is a lovely, quaint old city with many different kinds of opportunities available. It is about a 15 minute ride from the condo and we especially liked the restaurants and the trolley tour of the city. We would recommend this condo to anyone looking for an escape to the beach.
