The place we stayed were awesome and comfortable just feel like our home. This one are very beautiful and clean. Perfect location close by beach, store and restaurant...we will definitely come back again.
The property was perfect for a family gathering. The location is great. Walking distance to Publix,the pier, restaurants and the beach. It was great for kids and the backyard playset was so nice to have. We roasted marshmallows in the fire pit and had the best time during our stay!

The host was very nice. It is in a really cute neighborhood and really close to a nice beach. Eliska was even willing to let us have an early check in which was really helpful since we had been traveling. The house was spacious.

Angie thank you for your review, feel welcome anytime
Mother in law came to visit with some accessibility issues. House was a great setup for multiple adults w/w/o kids... backyard peaceful with plenty of shade or sun whichever you prefer. Cannot beat location for access to beach/food/grocery store etc. We are local residents and definitely recommend this rental for what it shows it to be.
This home was absolutely amazing and perfect for our Anniversary weekend and our daughters birthday. Home was immaculate and so comfy. Plenty of room for us and her friends as well. Loved walking to the Beaches Tiki bar ever night! Had one issue and the owner had the service people out in like an hour. Would highly recommend this place and will definitely be back again!

House was just fine for casual beach holiday. The towels seemed a little dirty and the neighborhood isnt the best but it did the job!

Hello Carly how are you, thank you for your feedback, I wish I would know during your stay about the towels, I would definitely fix it for you. I´m happy you enjoyed your stay :D
The house was very responsive to my concerns about the hurricane. The house is lovely and very functional for a family. She provided beach equipment, which was very helpful. Kitchen needs to be better supplied. I'm sure it will be For the next guest. Some work was being done to make it more child friendly. We enjoyed our stay.
Our family of five with dogs had a wonderful time. The host was fabulous and very responsive the couple of times I reached out. Very responsive!! Lovely home set up perfectly for our group. The location cannot be beat. Far enough away from crowds but within five minutes of being back into the heart of Saint Augustine. Daily walks down to the beach half mile away could not be beat. Two nice restaurants within walking distance, pier for fishing and groceries 3 minutes away! No need to say more. Highly recommend and we will rent again if we return.
Thank you to our host!!
