Check in was easy and the host was reasonably quick to respond to questions. The guest house was a real plus. The kids enjoyed the pool and it was just a short walk to the beach (though you had to cross a road that was busy and go up and down a dune to get there).
Beach is an easy walk, but need some caution crossing highway at the shortest route to the beach. Pool is small, but the 2 boys enjoyed it. Clean and warm. The Guest house was treat for my wife and me while the daughter's family took over the main house. Easy exchange with activities at both areas. Guest house listing of 2 bedrooms is a realtors overstatement. Very comfortable for 2 adult sleepers.
Absolutely loved our stay!! It was a perfect place for all our friends and family to stay for my wedding weekend! The place was beautiful and clean and check in was a breeze! I absolutely loved how safe it was for my kids with the pool net up and there was actually a baby gate available for us to use that really came in handy! We also loved that it’s literally a 2 minute walk to the beach!! We will DEFINITELY be staying here again on our next St.Augustine trip!!
This place was absolutely adorable. My teenager loved celebrating her 13th birthday in St Augustine. We really hope to stay here again, but definitely longer stay next time. We had everything we needed.
Hosts were lovely and responsive. House was perfect for our multi- generation needs. The three grand children used the pool daily. The walk to the beach was short and fun! We had a great vacation!
Our stay was awesome. It was our daughter’s destination wedding at the Embassy Suites by Hilton. We had many places to stay but this home seemed extra special for our large family and it proved so. It was lovely and comfortable and the separate suite was a huge bonus. Jody was an excellent host just a message away if needed. When in the area we would definitely stay here again. From all our family, thank you, Jody
This house met all our needs for our family that ranged in age 1-18 for kids! Easy access to the beach and getting to town. Very relaxing, we enjoyed our stay!
Great time with our family and grandparents. Super cute house. Close walk to the beach was nice since we normally stay right on the beach that it was so close still. Would recommend some curtains in front of the garage door that can be closed or opened for extra privacy. Everything was great though with the house, the close proximity to everything, and to the beach

It was unusually chilly and the pool heater, a heat exchanger, could not keep up. The kitchen equipment lacked a flat skillet type pan, and some of the frying pans were scratched. The hosts were very helpful in responding to questions prior to the stay.
This was a great place to stay! House was absolutely beautiful and clean! The outdoors was well kept up and the pool was amazing. Family friendly house and neighborhood. We enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking again in the future!
The property was a fun place to stay, it was clean, lots of amenities (towels, kitchen supplies, shampoo, etc,), warm pool, casita, comfy beds, etc. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, a short drive to Cap’s Restaurant and the Reef’s Restaurant. Publix was a quick trip, too. We stayed 10 nights, so loved exploring St Augustine (a short drive away). It’s a great place to stay!
Pros: very clean, everything you need( utensils, paper products, towels), great location, close to beach.Cons: pool little small(liked the steps and swim out on opposite ends), no mini fridge in in-laws suite, only 3 bedrooms in main house 1 in in-laws but 2 pull out couches.Over all great place and would stay again!!!
We had family come in from New York who wanted to see the beach and also had never been to St Augustine. The location was perfect and having the guest house where my sister with littles was able to stay was perfect!
We enjoyed the property. The adults were able to stay in the main house and the teenagers had their own space in the separate house.
It worked great for us.
Property was exactly as described . It was a good size, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. The separate living space was a nice touch and added privacy. The pool was wonderful.
This was the perfect property for a "multi-aged" family. The 30 somethings stayed in the guest house while the children, parents and grandparents stayed in the main house.Conveniently located near grocery stores and restaurants. Also close to Old Town St. Augustine.
We all had such a wonderful time! The home was lovely, so clean and fresh. We thoroughly enjoyed the backyard and pool, as well as the guest cottage!
Very quick walk to the beach, as well.
