3. Il n'y a PAS DE VOITURES. Il s'agit d'une distinction majeure. Tout au sud de A Street a des voitures. Imaginez que vous essayez de jouer au paddle-ball ou de lancer le football avec des voitures qui passent constamment et que vous devez ĂŞtre constamment en alerte. Pas pendant vos vacances!
It was the perfect size cottage for my husband and me. We loved sitting on the patio for morning breakfast and evening coffee. The walk to the beach was close and easy. There are a handful of restaurants within walking distance. We would love to stay again.
Great location and cute little cottage. Very clean but showing some wear and tear. Had a couple of issues, but the host took care of them right away. We would stay again.
Cottage is in a great location with beach access right out the door. The beach is really nice in that location. Kitchen was well equipped, could have used a larger frying pan though. Host was very accommodating and we really liked the email about things to do in the area and recommended restaurants. That was really helpful! Pictures posted on VRBO were quite old, I suspect from when the property was newly refurbished. Walls/trim could use a coat of paint and the floors, although clean, show their age. It’s definitely a “cottage” so bathroom was a bit tight, second half bath was good to have. The back porch was a great place to sit and relax but you’re looking at the sand dune, can’t actually see the ocean. All said, we had a great stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.
Very nicely appointed home right on the beach! Nice pation on ocean side, all drsired beach equipment provided. All cooking items, coffee maker, kuereg as well. Very clean, modern. Short walk or drive to everything! We had a very nice time!Linda was always immediately responsive to any needs. Would stay agsin, definitely recommend!
We had the most amazing stay here! The house was perfect for my partner and I. The beach access was just steps away from our door, and the house had everything we needed for a beach day (chairs, beach towels, etc). We watched the sunrise from bed every morning - it was absolutely gorgeous! We cannot wait to come back!!!!
My name is Linda Bayles. I have been a Realtor in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area ranking in the Top 1% of Agents since 1998. In 2005 I walked into a 1926 beach cottage direct oceanfront on St Augustine Beach and knew I had found my calling. I wanted to 'Create' a vacation space for Families. Large extended families. A place were Cousins, Grandmothers, Uncles and Aunts can comfortably come together to reconnect and enjoy each other away from the demands of the outside world. I come from a large family of 5 children as does my husband, Brad. Some of my fondest memories are when we all got together to just 'hang out' for 3 or 4 days. The little ones always come up with a 'play'. The adults always congregate in the Kitchen passing down the 'Family Recipes' to the next generation and playing Games. We are a big Game playing family. Specifically Rummikub. We start them at 5 and My Mother is still going at 95. If you have never played, you must. I make sure there is one in each house. Once you are hooked and have one of your own, I hope you will think of your St Augustine stay every time you play.
So I bought that 1926 Craftsman, gutted it and turned it into The Chautauqua which sleeps 21. It has been a rewarding success. In 2011, my Father expanded the tradition and bought 4 homes on one Oceanfront compound on 9th Street. We could not believe our luck and spent the next year remodeling them into The Seaside Cottages. We started renting them in June of 2012. The Best part is not only the homes but the BEACH. There are only 18 streets on the “Best Beach” - No cars. No Catwalk. The ocean right at your door. Everything within walking distance.
In 2016 I moved to Downtown St Augustine and added 4 more Downtown Homes walking distance of St George Street, the Center of Historic Downtown and all the Restaurants, Sights and Music. It is absolutely charming at night. You will feel you are strolling an old European City. A must see.
I hope you will stay with us and create memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Feel free to call me any time day or night at 904.465.3852.
PS: I am also a Realtor. I work primarily as a Single Agent. There are not many of us out there. Most Realtors work as neutral Transaction Agents. You can google 'Buyers Agent' to get an overview of the difference. I think it is big. Just ask yourself the question, Would I want the other sides Attorney to represent me too? That's it in a nut shell but the amazing thing is, unlike Attorneys, it does not cost you anything to have your OWN Realtor representing just YOUR interest. We are all paid by the Seller. So .... I would love to help if you are thinking about buying or selling in the area. Just call and I will send photos of what's available. Once here I would love to give you a tour of the area and take you "shopping". We can see about 4 per hour and you have me as long as it takes.
