Family vacay

We had a great stay! The bunk beds with trundle were perfect for my kids, although the oldest decided to sleep on the pull out sofa. Beds were comfy and condo was much brighter and cleaner (& renovated?) than the units my other family members were staying in

This is our 3rd yr coming to Hibiscus Resort in St. Augustine. We always look for the more affordable units as we are limited on funds. Shell Shack was nicer, cleaner and more affordable than any of the other units we stayed in. Great condo at a wonderful price. Kyle and Jessica were extremely helpful. Will rent this unit again if available next year.

Loved our stay

This condo was awesome especially for a family. The kitchen is huge and has so much counter space. It’s super clean and the owners supply you with paper towels toilet paper coffee plenty of towels. They had plenty of beach stuff on the porch to play with too. The beds were very comfy and the master bathroom was very spacious. We enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely be coming back.

We currently have plans in place for replacing the carpeted flooring in the bedrooms and will have this done in the near future. We will also be replacing the rubber around the shower door that has deteriorated over time. Thanks for the feedback.

Fourth of July Vacation

Can’t beat this location. Hosts were very responsive. Fridge broke 4th of July morning and while they couldn’t get anyone out there, they did say they would refund us a portion of our stay. Great value.

Perfect condo for our vacation!

This condo was perfect for our vacation! We had some air conditioning issues and the owners were super responsive and took care of everything right away, far exceeding our expectations. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. The boys loved the bunk beds and the Xbox. The kitchen was really nice and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was easy and short, and it is so nice of the owners to leave chairs and toys to use. The pools at the complex are really nice and usually not crowded. We loved St. Augustine all together and will definitely be back! We would 100% rent this place again!!!

Kyle & Jessica's "Shell Shack".

Overall a great stay and property and location. The building themselves are not well marked so initial locating the condo was challenging especially when the entry door to the hall way was not marked and I was unsure if that door was an condo door and would get shot upon entry. Accessing the condo itself once I located and had the keys in hand was also challenging as the hallway entry door you have to twist and turn the handle and wiggle and turn the key to get the lock to unlock. Once inside then trying to use the separate patio door key revealed that this key simply does not operate that lock. But hey the place was great but do watch the master bedroom bed posts at the foot of the bed as they are turned outward and the feet posts are real toe stubbers. We set a bag in front of them to remind us so as to not ruin our vacation with any broken toes. Our daughter and son-in-law stayed in another condo about two miles down the beach and we had the three grandsons with us and they enjoyed the split level bunk bed with a pullout on the bottom for the little one, the regular level bed for the middle grandson and the top bunk for the oldest grandson up on top. They had a blast at the beach. And I totally never even knew that there was a roof top patio available so I never even went up there. Definitely would rebook again. And to say the least I even tried my hand with the X-box but didn't have too much luck. But this is the first VRBO that I ever stayed in that had an X-box. So kudos to the host. I do suggest that if you use the X-box that you don't forget to delete your profile from it before you leave, that thing had like 30 profiles on it from prior users. OMG no need to bring towels, they had so many towels!! We did bring along our air fryer from home but that is nothing against the condo, just a suggestion if you are going to stay there for an extended period and won't be eating out a lot like we did. Nice touch in the bookcase was a book on Florida's sea shells and that fit right in with the "Shell Shack" theme. The wi-fi was good and fast as well. So enjoy your stay as we did.
