Pelican's Beach Retreat with Private Pool!

This was a really nice and relaxing vacation rental! It was about a 3-4 minute walk to the beach, a quiet and safe neighborhood, and about a 10 minute drive to historical downtown.. everything you could need during vacation. The owner was a really nice guy and great to work with!

Close to St. Augustine where history comes alive. Modern, clean 1 bedroom apartment. Newer appliances; wonderful private deck where we could enjoy our morning coffee. Walking distance to the beach! Pool available, too. Steep driveway, but owners accommodating if you need to load, unload your car where it is flatter at the top of the driveway. Excellent place for a couple; futon in living room for a third person or child. Groceries close by as well as other shopping.

We enjoyed out stay there - just the right size for the two of us. It could not have been nicer in its accommodations. Our host were most gracious. It is a short walk to the beach; a beach that goes on forever. There are so many things to do in St. Augustine. The restaurants are plentiful and some of the best we have experienced. You are sure to enjoy yourself there.

Very nice accommodations, with just a short walk to the beach. The beach entrance is only a block away, then a short trail out to the ocean. Getting up for the sunrise is well worth it. It's a 10 minute drive into the old part of the city, and several must see stops are there. I hope to come again.

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!
