We had a wonderful stay! This home is well equipped for children which was very nice for us. (Toys, highchair, stroller, sippy cups) The only thing to note is that the home is off of a pretty busy road so that did make us a little nervous with two young ones. They do have a fence around the whole house and a security latch at the top of the front door which was comforting for us. Overall, it was a great stay!

Perfect Beach Getaway

The place felt welcoming and peaceful; super clean; absolutely beautiful. Appreciated the attention to detail, full kitchen, the wagon full of everything needed for the beach. Even has a pergola & grill in the private back yard. We enjoyed a relaxing time so close to the beach and a Publix. Hope to visit again! Thanks, Rod & Donna, for a 5 star stay!

Flew across country to visit and felt right at home!

We had an amazing time and felt 'at home' while on vacation. Our home base afforded us comfort and all the things we needed to have a wonderful weekend. We were able to get out and adventure around Palm Coast (super close to the beach) and also head to St. Augustine for the day as well. Highly recommended!

Birthday getaway

We wanted the beach without the masseuse or the headache. We found it. Publix is directly across the street, so getting snacks to relax with was very easy. Easy driving down the coast to go to some nice restaurants and mom and pop stores was a plus.

Nice place!

The house feels very welcoming, and sets the tone for your beach getaway. Comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, nice sized bedrooms and baths. Positioned right off of A1A, it can get busy, but it is a great place to stay, close to a less populated beach with no "spring break" atmosphere, Nice to have Publix grocery store a quick walk across the road, and numerous restaurants within walking distance. Close to St. Augustine, Flagler Beach, and nearby state parks. Would definitely stay here again.

A great rental that had many thoughtful touches that made us feel at home during our stay. Very convenient having a Publix right across the street. Located on a main road that made it convenient to many different locations. Very close to Hammocks Beach. Very clean with nice kitchen made this a very comfortable stay.

Beautiful home near the beach

Lovely, comfortable home near the beach with everything you could need for a vacation stay and just as expected! Super easy check-in process and prompt communication with the owners. Easy 15 minute walk to Hammock Beach and right across the street from Publix, making it super convenient. Only wish-for during colder days would be space heaters to enjoy the porch/backyard more and a couple of bikes to go along with the wagon and beach gear.
