This was a wonderful pet friendly place! The layout and fenced back yard worked great for our family needs. This home is a short 5min walk to the beach and the garage had plenty of beach toys in it. The home is also a nice short drive to downtown St. Augustine. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying here again!

Comfortable stay in the perfect location

We had an absolutely wonderful time staying here. The beach is just a short walk away down a quiet road, and the house isn't far from a couple of grocery stores up A1A. The kitchen was really nicely sized, and there is plenty to do there: board games, puzzles, a foosball table, beach toys, a kiddie pool.

Thanksgivings

Our family enjoyed our stay. The walk to the beach is short and easy. The beach is amazing. The road noise is loud. The home was clean and the large dining room table was perfect for family games. Pet friendly and no dog smell at all. The fenced in yard is perfect for a dog. The Galaga game was a fun extra treat! I would bring my family back!!

Great location near the beach

Despite being on A1A the house was very quiet and Online accuracy and description was 100 %. We would stay there again. Plenty of room for my kids to space out. And the beach is so wide in that area and only a two minute drive to get on the beach with your vehicle. And plenty of turtles.

Great location

This house is in a great location! Like some of the other reviews said it is on a busy street so you can hear some traffic and the house itself at times can be pretty dark. Also, the yard is very small, but it was fenced in so great for our dogs. It was literally just minutes to walk to the beach and you don’t have to cross major streets to get there so the location couldn’t be beat!

Clean, spacious and comfy.

We were within walking distance of the beach. The home had three bikes, boogie boards and beach toys in the garage. Home was very clean, we had plenty of room for extended family to stay with us. There were turtles crossing on the back path and a nice fenced in backyard. Glad we stayed here. It was very private although we were located directly off the main road and next door to houses.

Not a short walk, but an easy walk to the beach!

The house was very nice, clean and in a great location. Everything we needed was provided with the exception of beach towels for our party of six. The backyard could use a little TLC, but was a nice relaxing area. The only disappointment was the grill... it was on the back patio covered up, but when we uncovered it we found it rusted & we were unable to use it. I would recommend this location!
