The condo had a beautiful view, but we did have a few issues. Love that it's a gated condo, but had some problems when we first arrived. The daughter of one of the condo owners or workers was told it was okay for her and her friends to use the pool, but one of her friends was very rude when we first arrived. When the daughter came over to apologize for him, bringing all her friends with her, they were incredibly drunk, wreaked of alcohol, and felt that repeatedly hugging my husband and I while in her wet bikini was the best way to express her sincerity. When we finally extricated ourselves and got the keys to the condo, it turns out 3 of the cleaning crew were still there even though we arrived more than an hour after the time we were allowed to check in. They told us we could go ahead and get settled in around them, they'd be done in about a 1/2 hour, but after driving 19 hours we told them we'd fold the rest of the laundry so we could get settled in private. The tub was dirty, the downstairs sink wouldn't drain, the patio door had an explanation on how to open and shut it because the latch didn't work properly, and when we tried to vacuum as asked, the vacuum didn't work and had a horrendous burnt smell and exposed wires. We swept the rug as best as we could with a broom.
There were a few unpleasant things that nothing could be done about by the owners or VRBO like the upstairs guests running back and forth at 1am, fishing boats that dumped their dead fish in the ocean that washed ashore causing a rotting fish smell.
Aside from all that, I brought my own cleaning supplies because I know what my standards of cleanliness are, was very pleased with the number of kitchen supplies (pots, pans, blender, coffee pot, toaster). The proximity to everything was perfect, and the beach was practically private. The overall condition of the condo was good with the few exceptions mentioned previously. Good wifi, tv for the downtime, board games for rainy days, and plenty of room for us.
Ultimately, despite the questionable and disappointing start, we had an amazing vacation and enjoyed our first time renting a condo and visiting St. Augustine.
