We really enjoyed our stay here! The neighborhood was great and proximity to beaches and stores was convenient, especially if you need to run out for extra supplies, but there was a lot provided right at the house! Close to downtown St Augustine as well for hitting some sites! Everything was labled and instructions were clear for an easy transition to making this place your home for your stay. Owners were very helpful with ideas on things to do and were prompt to answer questions.

Loved the resort feel!

Our host was very responsive and pleasant to interact with. The house was a perfect size for 4 of us and we loved the amenities; the kitchen was well appointed, too. It was as advertised - we really felt like we were on vacation at a mini resort! The location was great - very walkable to the beach, a short drive to downtown and other shopping, and an easy drive to other areas like Palm Coast. We'd definitely consider renting this home again. Our pup was also very happy there!

Amazing house!

Our family stayed here for a week in mid April and practically lived out in the backyard!! Didn’t use the living room once! We grilled, swam, played put put, darts and always had a fire going. It was absolutely amazing. C was VERY responsive with any questions I had about the property. We visit St. Augustine every 2-3 years and will definitely be staying here again!

Great location, quiet neighborhood

Very convenient location if you are planning on visiting the beach and all the great tourist locations. Also, lots of good food options are close by! The host was wonderful at making sure we felt welcomed and giving restaurant recommendations. It took us a little bit to figure out the routine of when the spa heater would be on but once we knew what that schedule was, we thoroughly enjoyed the backyard area. Our sons loved the sunshelf in the pool. Lots of family memories made. Thanks!

Loved our stay

We enjoyed ourselves at this beautiful and relaxing home. We loved cooking on the outside grill and relaxing in the pool/hot tub. The house and linens were clean and we loved that some normal day items were provided (toilet paper, paper towels, beach towels, soap, shampoo). The beach is about .5 mile walk from the house. I do wish they would have included instructions on how to use the hot tub but the owner was very responsive and helpful when we asked about it. I’d love to stay here again!!

Concert

We were in town for the kane brown concert at the amphitheater. The house was absolutely perfect. Beautifully decorated, amazing shower, a heated pool and hot tub to relax in at night. The ocean is walking distance away which was great during the day, and the amphitheater was just minutes away and easy to get to. We were able to cook breakfast in the well Stocked kitchen. The host checked in to make sure we had everything we needed, and we did. The home is also exceptionally clean and well maintained. I would definitely book here again as well as recommend it to anyone looking to book in the area. Fantastic stay.

This was a wonderful stay and I will definitely be bringing my family back. saint Augustine is a wonderful place to visit as well. The house is a couple blocks from the beach.

This property is absolutely wonderful! The hosts are absolutely amazing, we had some questions and they were so attentive and responsive and kind and friendly just wonderful! The house is great! The backyard is so much fun and enjoyable! The host thought of everything for the backyard and we had so much fun just hanging out there! We had 6 adults and there was plenty of room and the kitchen is stocked and has plenty of space! It only takes a few minutes to walk to the beach. Just a wonderful and relaxing location. Also, quick uber ride to see the beautiful old town in St Augustine. If we could this VRBO 20 stars we would. It is really fantastic!

Nice!

House was excellent, with some nice amenities (pool was great, darts, putting green). 20 minute drive to downtown St. Augustine and 2 minute drive to Butler Beach. House was clean. Had some very minor things and our host was very nice and extremely responsive. When we got in a battery needed to be replaced in a smoke alarm. They said “maintenance person will be there in a few minutes” and he was there in less than 10 minutes- fixed it for night away. Highly recommend this place!

Great Spot!!!

This was a perfect house for myself, my husband, my mother, my brother and his spouse, and our pups!! It was SUPER convenient to get to the beach access where you can drive right onto the beach and park. Food at all the restaurants was amzaing. Qucik easy drive to downtown and shopping. Pool and back yard were really cool!! Light switches were just a tad confusing, but owner gave great directions for this. Would DEF go back!! My ONLY negative would be to bring your own beach chairs, as the ones in the house(which she doesnt even have to provide to be honest) were a bit beat up, usable, but not the greatest. FIVE STARS!

Neglected home

The advertisement photos look beautiful, however this house is in much need of attention. At check in for a week for July 4th, it seems the cleaners left in a hurry, the house was not clean, the lawn was overgrown, the backyard and pool area was trashed….absolutely filthy. Rotten weathered , broken furniture. Pool filters,waterfall, lights don’t work. Called hosts, texted, they did nothing to correct any issues. We are not party people, but beware there are several trip spots outside. The place is a health hazard. The advertised outdoor kitchen is a rust bucket. We left several days early and filed complaint with VRBO. The owners did absolutely nothing to ensure this property is worth vacationers time or money. Even our dog was miserable. Beware

Our house is very much as advertised , as you stated the first time we spoke to you.! It seems as if when your friends canceled on you that our house became a problem or maybe it was when we told you you could not take home our patio furniture or decor. Not to mention you broke the house rules. Hope you and your wife find happiness.

Great stay - only one critique

The property and location are great. Just a few blocks from the ocean and intercostal waterway but still far enough out of town with a few dining options within walking or biking distance. The outdoor space really caught our attention in the listing, the heated pool and hot tub in particular. We stayed in late February and the warmest day was 74. I've been in a heated pool before and know that given the daily temps it can still be a bit cool to swim in. We were really looking forward to the hot tub but the system is fully automated and it doesn't start heating until 7:30PM and the jets turn on after it reaches temp in 30 minutes to an hour. After that it seemed the heat would turn on for maybe 5 minutes every 20-30 minutes (just an estimate) so it just didn't have the constant warmth I'd expect. Not being able to use the hot tub when we wanted was disappointing. I may have misunderstood the listing and maybe there was an option for always on or on demand usage at an additional price but it wasn't clear. It would have been well worth an additional fee and would have justified 5 stars across the board.

Wish I could give this a 10

This property is amazing! Our good friends from Louisiana and us from Virginia spent 8 nights. The house and backyard are PERFECT!! We enjoyed the shaded area and the pool every day..........awesome. Several putting challenges within our group, (yes they have regular putters and real golf balls), it was a lot of fun!The pool ledge was great and the fountains in the pool were pretty cool!MY COMPLAINT: This home was not as clean as it should have been. The potential for a perfect place is damaged by the neglect. No dish soap, bathroom soap, trash can liners, cleaner/disinfectant. The floors in both bathrooms were not touched, nor was the bathtub in the guest bathroom. We bought 409 and cleaned both bathrooms top to bottom and washed the disgusting bathmats. We are two light colored short haired women with balding husbands. There was a disgusting amount of long straight black hair in Master Bath. Not only on the floor, but also on the mats. They all looked like new once washed! The outside needs a good, hefty spring cleaning.I will say that we would return again, it's SO CLOSE to perfection! The Owner was responsive to a pool pump issue and the lawn and pool people came as scheduled, with professional work! The location is perfect, the pool, quiet neighborhood, and drive on the beach at the end of the road.

Thanks for the review! I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the home, the pool, and had a great time with your friends—sounds like it was a fun trip all around! That said, I was surprised to read your comments about cleanliness, especially since we spoke several times during your stay and nothing was mentioned at the time. I absolutely would’ve sent the cleaning company over right away to address it for you had I known. As for the supplies, just to clarify—we provide dishwasher detergent under the sink along with two trash bags (under sink to get you started) but not dish soap or bathroom toiletries, and cleaning products aren’t something we stock, as it’s a vacation rental, not a hotel. Thanks again for the feedback.
