We enjoyed our stay in this well appointed, clean and cozy condo. The check-in was easy and the property manager was extremely helpful and gave us suggestions for places to eat and explore. We especially enjoyed the wonderful view from the lanai. We would definitely stay there again.

We have stayed in many of the Conquistador properties and this was one of the Best! The owner, Carla, was very easy to reach and very accommodating! The unit was well appointed, super clean and very comfortable! We will be back for sure!

Hi Hale! I am so glad you loved the condo and surroundings. Unfortunately you were there just when the HOA was upgrading our wifi systems, so TV connection was affected. It is working better than ever now, so you know for future stays😉
This property had absolutely everything you need for a week at the beach. Even full bottles of shampoo, conditioner and soap in the showers. The kitchen was fully set up for cooking dinners in. Would definitely recommend staying here.
We truly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location was extremely nice and peaceful. This condo was located on the end so we didn't run into many people coming and going. There isn't any tv's in the bedrooms, which I didn't even notice when reviewing and it may not even matter to some, but I know for someone like me who enjoys the background noise it would be nice to have. The host was extremely nice and helpful
Everything was perfect. When the shower curtain bar fell she took care of it immediately. Condo had everything we needed. The views were amazing. Couldn’t have asked for anything else.
Thanks Carla.

Thank you for your kind words, Bill. Your 2 month stay definitely did not go unnoticed. Neighbors were asking about the 2 of you today 😊 I hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future!
This property was so enjoyable that we did not want to leave. Every morning my husband and I walked on the oak covered trail and then sat under the shade on the dock to fish for a couple of hours. Afternoons were spent on Crescent Beach or Matanzas Inlet sunning and fishing. We also visited the fort and the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine on separate days. The condo was exceptionally clean and had everything we needed, even coffee pods and chocolate! In the evening we enjoyed sitting on the porch watching the wildlife and boats going by on the intracoastal waterway. The complex was very quiet the entire time. We absolutely loved our stay!

Oh Alyson! Such sweet words. I am so happy you enjoyed yourselves. You were great guests and are welcome back any time!
This was our second stay at this condo and again we had a hard time leaving! It is an end unit so we rarely ran into anyone the entire time we were there. The view from the living room and porch was just amazing. We had everything we needed and found it exceptionally clean. The beds and couches were comfortable and it had just the right amount of room. We were in close distance of St. Augustine, Crescent Beach, and Matanzas Inlet. During our last visit we visited the fort and the Fountain of Youth, which we loved, and this time we went to the Alligator Farm and thoroughly enjoyed it. My husband spent time fishing at the dock on the property and from the beach. Can’t wait until we can come back!!!
The condo was in a quiet neighborhood and the views were amazing. Check in was easy and Carla was responsive to any questions that we had. The condo was clean and exactly as described.

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you come back soon!
This place is the best kept secret on VRBO!!! We stayed in this LOVELY condo for three months during quarantine. 3 not just 1 pools. One heated. This condo is located RIGHT ON THE INTRA COASTAL!!! We woke to all the birds singing in the trees. We have already booked for next year. You’ll love it. Oh and 12 minutes from the beach. Who could ask for more?
The location of the property was amazing! The view was stunning. Everything in the condo was decorated tastefully and we absolutely loved the screened in patio that overlooked the river. This place deserved a 5 star rating.
