We had a fantastic time with our family at the perfect place—Sea la Vie!! If you’re looking for a clean, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood that’s just a short walk to the beach, I highly recommend Sea la Vie.
Great house, kitchen fully stocked, paper good supplied. We had 8 adults and a baby, lots of room to spread out. Great location. Beds and linens comfortable.
We loved our stay at Sea La Vie in St. Augustine. The house was very well appointed and provided our family plenty of room to spread out! The home was beautiful as shown in the pictures. We truly enjoyed our stay here. The beach was a tad bit further than we anticipated and with two parents in there 70s we were able to have a good solution. We loaded our beach gear up in the back of the truck and there is a public beach access 2ish blocks away that we could unload our stuff and let our parents out. This made it easier on us to taking our things to the beach. There were a few things missing in the kitchen that we would have thought a home at this price range would have. For example, some pitchers for tea or lemonade and tupperware for leftovers. Also, be careful if stepping off the deck to the wooden landing as it seems a little wobbly. The kids were doing that and we had to direct them to always use the stairs at the end of the deck. We'd love to stay at this home again and in St. Augustine!
We loved the location of this home . It is walking distance to the beach and a short ride to historic district . It is great for a large family or multigenerational get away .
This house is so convenient to the beaches, Publix, and several restaurants! Cap’s was the best on Vilano Beach. The house has 5 bedrooms so everyone had a room or couch. The kitchen is a chef’s kitchen and we needed nothing to prepare wonderful meals at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit St. Augustine, Fl.
Enjoyed our stay for our family of 7 including children and grandparents. Easy walk to the beach and the pool with covered porch was the favorite spot. The kitchen was spacious and great for cooking breakfast. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with exception of one downstairs bedroom that has a different mattress from others. Is on a quiet street and walking distance to a playground and easy drive to restaurants etc. Would definitely stay here again!
House was great and had lots of rooms to allow separation of 4 families, with only 1 group sharing bathroom. Only bad thing, is the stairs, for folks having issue going up/down every day.. but that was only bad thing ..house was good to host our whole family.
Jordan and Tom were nothing but amazing. They were super responsive and great hosts. We had accidentally left some things behind, and they were very accommodating and we were able to coordinate getting everything back. The house itself was huge!! It was very clean and had everything we needed (including a good stash of spices/cooking oil). My friends and I really enjoyed staying here. I would highly recommend staying here, and if I’m ever in St. Augustine again, I would 100% stay here.
This was a fantastic house! It is very spacious. Very short walk to the beach. The house was very clean and well stocked with the basics. Very quiet neighborhood which we enjoy very much. Would definitely recommend. The only things that would improve this house would be better internet service and a gas grill along with the house being ready for check in at four PM. We would definitely stay her again if we would return to St. Augustine.
Everything was perfect. The location , the property conditions. You have everything you need to have a fun vacation. My only suggestion is the air conditioner, we couldn’t put the air below 69 degrees. There are some room hotter than others. Other than that is the perfect home for a perfect vacations.
We had a really nice time in the house with our extended family to celebrate a milestone birthday. Great proximity to beach and downtown.
Feedback for property:
1. Checkout procedures are a bit extreme given the hefty cleaning fee! There was inconsistency with the directions as well depending on where you review checkout policies.
2. Downstairs bed (queen) was really lumpy and soft. Recommend getting a new mattress!
Overall it was a great home and a great visit. Thank you!
We arrived on Saturday afternoon and stayed 9 days. The home was perfect for our family with plenty of beds and room for all. The rooms were big and had plenty of linens and towels. There were bathrooms on all levels and a bathroom off the pool that made it very convenient. There is a covered deck with chairs and overlooking the pool. We loved the large kitchen and TV area. It also has a bar and dining area that was perfect for meals and playing games, cards, etc.We had small kids in our group so we climbed the stairs to the third floor to watch fireworks. There are windows that have a 360 view of the beach and St. Augustine fireworks! it is walking distance to the beach and grocery shopping is very close. The home is also across the bridge to St. Augustine and lots of activities! This was a very fun and enjoyable family vacation!
The property was absolutely ideal. The location to the beach was in walking distance. The Publix food store is in walking as well. The house was roomy and kitchen appliances well stocked. Not able to get connected to TV the first day. Finally start working the day before we checked out. The two pull out beds did not have any bedding available. Went to Walmarts to purchase sheets no problem. The pool was relaxing water temperature great and plenty of pool gadgets. I loved this location was able to walk through neighborhood in morning and people were friendly. Definitely recommend for a family vacation.
Family of 6 stayed quite comfortably with plenty of space. Short walk to the beach. Had some beach items. We bought two boogie boards and left them behind for the next guests. Property manager was quite responsive to questions. The pool was cleaned/chemicals added our first full day onsite. Wish we would have known they were coming (would have adjusted our schedule a bit to not be swimming in the pool at that time but not a big deal). A member of the cleaning crew returned the second day we were there with some starter items. Much appreciated. She did enter the home on her own initiative when only our kids were there (adults ran to the store). Overall, enjoyed the stay and would definitely return and recommend to others.
The property was very nice, but the rental agent was terrible. When we arrived there were leaves in the pool and it was dirty. When I contacted the rental agency, the person was not helpful and unpleasant. It is a saltwater pool that has a brown tint, but when we rubbed the side it became cloudy. When we asked them to take a look, he said the pool was cleaned on Thursdays and if we wanted it checked out we would have to pay for it. The family decided to swim in the ocean. Much better. Also, we had great difficulty getting the oven to work. We informed them of the problem but once again they won’t help solve the problem. The dryer didn’t get hot, but after playing with it, we were able to change it over to a higher temperature. It would have been helpful for an instruction sheet since it is somewhat complicated. I own rental property of my own and mostly couldn’t get over how rude the agent was. Good house but I suggest you get someone else to watch over your lovely property.
This was by far one of our favorite trips! The communication was above and beyond with the manager and they had everything we needed to cook, chill, play and enjoy our time. Kitchen had everything we needed for big family meals and the walk to the beach area was AMAZING!!! We loved every minute!!!
