Lovely home, lovely host, perfect trip

The house is perfect, we loved the location and the sunrises, beach days and walks on the beach were absolutely unforgettable. The house was well stocked, an abundance of linens and towels, really loved the laundry room, loved the outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach, beds were comfortable, lots of movie nights spent on the comfy couch, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Common area of the open kitchen to dining and living room area was great, enough space for all of us to feel included and together despite times of doing different things. I’m sure my three boys will continue to rave about this home, the beach front and our stay until we come back again. My grandparents also throughly enjoyed our stay. This was perfect for a quiet, relaxing family beach trip. Thankful my grandparents were able to enjoy their great grand children and spend time together. Ms. Marla and her team are wonderful, they truly made our stay one of ease and comfort. Thank you all so much. We loved our stay thanks to all of you. We hope to come back again soon and explore more of St. Augustine!

About the host

Hosted by Marla K.

As the name "Serenity Now" suggests, we are big fans of Seinfeld. We live for the belly ache laughter found with good friends while on vacation together. House boating, New Orleans, Cabo, African safaris and music festivals are our favorites. Whether it's a girls trip, guys trip or family vacation, travel is our number one guilty pleasure. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it must be clean, comfortable, offer good food, interesting sites and fun activities.

Why they chose this property

We searched all of Florida to find the perfect location. St. Augustine is eclectic, historic and young at heart. Flagler College contributes to the academic and artistic vibe. Old moss trees and spanish architecture make it beautiful. Great music festivals and concerts flow through the town. Farm/sea to table restaurants offer wonderful eateries. Golf, NASCAR, and football are nearby. Our beach is pristine with a long stretch of white sand that is practically private. The ocean behind our home is perfect for swimming, fishing, and offers a terrific break for boogie boarding and surfing without being dangerous for little kids.

What makes this property unique

We bought and remodeled this home to meet what we would want if we were renting a vacation home: space for the kids to hang out, an elevator to make life easy for the grandparents or those who can't walk stairs, a long covered porch perfect to shade the babies while allowing mom to be part of the action, enough sleeping space for multiple families, and a hot outdoor shower at sunset! Just walk down our back stairs and you are on the beach- NO long walk over dunes to get to the beach- ultra convenient!
