We had a great stay! Property was very clean, very comfortable, and right on the beach. Angela kept us informed every step of the way. I highly recommend this vrbo.
We LOVED THIS ENTIRE TRIP! We had a blast! The location is ideal for people looking for a beautiful but quiet place. We felt like it was a well kept secret! Definitely recommend!
Enjoyed where we stayed and enjoyed that area of Florida. First time there and I will be letting my friends know about it. Hope to do it again in the future!
Great location right on the beach and near fun towns
This property is right on the beach. A perfect location between Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Flagler Beach. The apartment we stayed in was small (especially the kitchen and the bathroom) but was nicely decorated and had everything we needed. The bed was very comfy and the linens were top notch. The weather was a bit cooler in mid February but we still enjoyed our stay very much. We would totally stay here again. It's hard to find a property right on the water that is quiet and not surrounded by high rises and this property fits the bill perfectly.

This was a perfect spot for myself and my husband. The apartment provided everything we needed and is so close to the beach. The apartment was clean and provided almost everything we needed. We just had to provide the groceries. It was quiet and we didn’t hear a lot of noise From the other occupants. We will return there again.
We've had several vacations in this particular vrbo. We love it here. Wevtry to schedule my birthday on the 4th here each year. Manager's available whenwver there is an issue. Hope to return next year.
If u like a peace and quiet place along the beach this is great spot. There are turtles that rome the yard that was pretty neat to see. The only downside was u had to drive to get food or shop only one gas station across the street that pretty much had everything but anything else u would have to drive to. The parking lot was pretty roomy but over all I would stay there again
Property was well located for our beach stay. The apartment was very clean and well provisioned. It was laid out well and worked well for two people. It did need a small shelf in the shower. The parking could be a little more well defined. Other than those minor issues, property well valued.
Everything was amazing...... had all the amenities that a person could think of having and it was very clean. The views were spectacular and it was very quiet and peaceful. Had a fantastic time and would definitely come agian. Only complaint was that the stove and oven did not work and manager was no help at all. Only responded once and never got back to me.
The condo was marginal, location and, beach excellent, corporate staff excellent, property manager's interaction was only when I threatened to call corp. staff.
Thank you had the most amazing time there,my husband suprised me with a 42ft catamaran party cruise for the night,and finished it off with longhorn steakhouse,only concern I had was no smoking area and a private patio to sit in the morning and watch the sunrise or sunset ,that Linda bummed me out,my husband is disabled and couldn’t climb the stairs to the beach entrance and no regular vehicles allowed on the beach but 4x4s so no beach pictures besides that everything was wonderful and thank you again for the clean ,and friendly environment
A dresser of some kind would have been nice. No good place to put clothes. Also, the shower pressure was terrible. Other than that, the location was great and the place was clean and adequately stocked.

Disappointed
The website made it look very big. It was small. It was very clean. It was hard to lock the door and we had to leave because my dog got sick and I was surprised I got a partial refund which I was grateful for, but I was surprised that I didn’t get more. I will never do this again. I like hotels where I can talk to people at the front desk.
This property had 2 positives. Location and it was clean. Sorta run down outside. No where to put anything down in bath room or bedroom. Pretty small in bath and bedroom. Heard lots of dogs barking in the place but luckily not at night much. Upstairs guest was really noisy at 3-4 am. So not a lot of sleep. Enjoyed the beach location. Parking was a bit of an issue. Hard to park and some guests were taking 2 spots.
