Amazing stay!

This was an amazing place to stay! The condo was beautiful, clean and so close to the beach and pool. Owners were great at communicating with us before, during, and after our stay. We love the beach didn’t feel too populated, but then we could go to town to enjoy the crowds if you wanted.

This property was absolutely perfect for a beach get away. All the amenities you need are provided. Pool access was also nice when you dont want to get sandy! The rooms were clean and the furniture cozy. Close to downtown Historical district of St. Augustine and many other attractions. Nothing like a drive down A1A!! I would definitely stay at this property again.

Great beach getaway

Fantastic property that has everything you need for a beach getaway. This is the fourth time we've stayed in Bert and Lisa's place and have loved it every time. They go above and beyond to make it feel like home with all the perfect details to make your stay enjoyable. We've already booked again for next summer and can't wait to get back. We think of it as our home away from while in St. Augustine.

The property is well stocked with all things needed. Very clean. Would definitely visit again and recommend to friends. Only suggestion is to move check out to noon. FYSA: toilet in the master bedroom had intermittent running. May want to check the flapper. There was a part of the blind lying on the stool in the bedroom. Photo below. It was left as found. Kitchen faucet has to be maneuvered to ensure it does not drip.

Great Place!

What an incredible location in St. Augustine! We absolutely loved staying in the first-floor condo. It was so convenient with easy access to both the beach and the pool. There were plenty of great restaurants within walking distance, and it was the perfect home base for exploring the area.During our stay, we visited the Alligator Farm, took a ghost tour at the lighthouse, enjoyed a dolphin boat tour, and spent time wandering the historic downtown. We had such a wonderful time!The condo was spacious, comfortable, and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals and relax when we needed a break. We highly recommend it and would be thrilled to stay here again on our next visit!
