"My family is from St Augustine Florida and we needed a little getaway from the crowds. The pictures do not do this little slice of heaven justice. We enjoyed the walk down to the river so much we did it several times!
We used the fire pit every night, snuggled up to late night movies and played darts when it got too cold in the evening. We all agreed it was a do over! Thank you so much for having us!!!!!"

"Property was very well stocked with everything you would need, beach towels, rafts, kayak and even flash lights. Which is good cause power went on due to storm. Would stay again. Very nice home with 3 bedrooms and two open areas which would be good for kids, had two twin beds but keep in mind there is no door. Loft like areas. Perfect for three couples."
