Pelican's Beach Retreat with Private Pool!

I don't usually leave reviews for rental properties since many are not in the same condition as the pictures you viewed when booking your vacation. I'm sure this has happened to you; you walk in the property and wonder, how did the pictures look that good compared to what I'm now seeing! In other words the reality is often quite different from the pictures that are listed in the rental ad. Since I like to follow the old saying, 'if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all'. I just don't often leave reviews or feedback. Since I am in this case, you probably are thinking this rental was good. No; it was great! The apartment looks like the ad pictures inside. It is very clean and well maintained! In this case you have the added bonus of an owner who is very helpful and responsive to your needs if any situation requires attention. We had no such situation arise but the owner was proactive and let us know he was there to help and also made us feel welcome. The beach is only a short walk away! So if you like St. Augustine - or have never been there - book this rental property! You won't be disappointed. Take it from a person who rarely leaves reviews, I highly recommend it!

The host were really nice and easy to work with. The location is great. Even though it’s a basement apartment it’s stilll has its privacy.i would highly recommend

Pelican's Beach Retreat offers a beautifully-appointed space. It is clean, well-laid out, and a space I could comfortably live in the rest of my life! David is a gracious host, and most important, a very kind, thoughtful owner. My stay offered the respite I needed, and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. Thank you, David!

Perfect location. Short walk to beach. Short drive to down town St. Augustine. Clean, quiet, super nicely decorated. Etc etc.

We stayed here for two weeks and loved every minute of our stay. The house was nice and cozy for a couple, but can sleep more with the futon. The landlords were wonderful to work with and were very friendly. The house is only a few minutes from St. Augustine Beach and only a little farther to old St. Augustine. Also it is only a one block walk to the beach which is huge and with very few people. I would highly recommend staying here!
