Attended a family wedding in downtown St. Augustine and rented this Vrbo for a week with my husband and 2 adult daughters, hoping to enjoy some beach time. Not a great “beach” stay. This location has very limited beach at this time of year. If it was high tide, there was no beach. Also, the step-down to the beach is very difficult to access. No steps or stairs to use. Not good for older person or physically challenged. Needed my daughter to help me down and give me a boost up whenever we were at the beach. I’m in my 50’s, and pretty able bodied. The unit itself, Unit 1, was the farthest from the beach, and closest to the pool. Nice to have a pool when we couldn’t have access to the beach. Unit could use a thorough scrub down. Needs updating.
Kitchen cabinets were greasy and in need of painting/replacing. Rug needed a good steam
cleaning as well. I will say the owner supplied ample linens, bath towels and even beach towels. There was plenty of paper goods (paper towels, toilet paper) in the unit as well. Also, he supplied kitchen dish soap and plenty of odds & ends for the week’s stay. Beds were comfortable. Backs to a Publix and pizza restaurant, which was convenient. All in all, a good stay. Just not as clean and easy walkability to the beach as was depicted in the description on line. I give this property 3 stars. We are also owners of a VRBO beach property on the NC shore, so I’m giving my honest feedback on what needs addressing.
