We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean and well furnished, and the property is gated and kept up. There's a beautiful view from the family room and the master with large windows. It's on the second floor, which means you don't have to use the elevator if you don't want to, other than moving in and out, and there are carts for that. That was nice when going to and from the beach, because we could hit the stairs rather than waiting on an elevator. The stairs to the outside walk are nearby. There's a long boardwalk you take to get to the beach, and you have the option of actually driving on to the beach if you want to. We didn't do that being in a minvan, but that would make it convenient if bringing a lot of stuff down with you. There were sand toys for the kids and some chairs, which was nice. Boogie boards, too, although we had brought our own. There was also an umbrella, although when I took that down I wasn't able to get it in the sand far enough. The sand closer to the water is very compacted. We brought with us one of those gazebos, so we just put that up every day. The beach itself was clean and not crowded. There's also a pool that the kids enjoyed when they were tired of the sand and waves. Lots of stuff nearby as far as shopping and restaurants, and it's only about 15 minutes to the center of St Augustine. Shirley was great to work with, too.
