The beach was unbeatable. Steps away from the ocean. Gorgeous views from the loft. The a frame was pretty clean and definitely showed some wear on furnishings but hey it’s a beach house . You rent this one for the ocean!

Our stay at this summer loft was exactly the refreshing getaway our family needed. It’s a rare find to find a place that comfortably accommodates all three of us plus our dog, but this layout was perfect. We lucked out with gorgeous weather, which made the whole experience even better. The atmosphere was peaceful and rejuvenating—we’re already looking forward to coming back!

Perfecr Family Vacation

This dune house was the perfect vacation for my family. Its so close to the beach and not far from great restaurants. If you want a vacation that seems secluded but still close to town this is the spot. We will definitely be back.

We loved our stay at this beautiful little beach gem! The house is clean and nicely appointed with stunning views and right on the beach. We saw dolphins every morning and enjoyed some beautiful sunsets. It's a quick 10 minute drive to downtown St. Augustine and we enjoyed shopping and dining there. Check-in and check-out were a breeze and hosts were very responsive. We would absolutely stay again and had a wonderful time!A few small things to note: the sliding door to the patio is a bear to open and close due to rust. Not the end of the world but could use a little TLC. Patio could use a little shade too. Laundry is not in the house but in the adjacent building. We were there in July and it was hot! They have 3 AC units that work well but it still gets a little warm inside that time of year. Just an FYI if you are traveling during that time period. A lovely beach getaway that we highly recommend!

Thank you for the review and for staying. Glad you enjoyed the clean, well-appointed home, beachfront location, dolphins and sunsets, and easy access to downtown St. Augustine. Thanks for the helpful notes — we’ll have the sliding patio door inspected and will consider additional shade for the patio. Good to know about the July heat; the three AC units do their best but it can feel warm in peak summer. We’d love to host you again.

Dune House is fantastic

Perfect location steps from the beach. Everything was great. Only downsides are that the porch could use a little shade/lounge furniture and there is very little privacy if traveling with children.

Excellent location. Gorgeous views from the loft. Loved walking the beach with our dogs. Management was very responsive. For example, I let them know that the patio furniture was in pretty bad shape and they brought four new chairs the next day which I was not expecting but very much appreciated! Re: prior reviews -- I could not believe my eyes when I read the review regarding rats from earlier this month (when we were about an hour away from the property). That has definitely been taken care of!I also read a few reviews that said it was very hot in the downstairs bedroom. There's a large portable fan that we used in the bedroom and we weren't hot at all. Overall loved being there!

Thanks for the lovely review! Glad you enjoyed the location, loft views, and beach walks with your dogs. I’m glad the new patio chairs helped — thanks for flagging that so we could act quickly. The earlier pest concern has been addressed, and good to hear the portable fan kept the downstairs bedroom comfortable. It was a pleasure hosting you — we’d love to welcome you back.

Perfect beach getaway

We loved this property. Extremely close to the ocean, saw dolphins daily. Has exactly what you need for a beach getaway. We came with our two kids and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We walked to the near by restaurants for food and coffee. Checkin and check out were both a breeze and communication with the owners were clear with extremely fast response times. We’ll definitely be back!
