Perfect St. Augustine house close to beach and town

We have stayed multiple times at this location and each time there are minor improvements and touch ups that show the owner really cares. Would recommend this house to anyone who wants to stay in St. Augustine and just relax.

Great beach getaway

This is the sweetest place! It is decorated in a fun beach theme and had everything we needed to be comfortable. Close to the pool and a very short walk to the beach! It's location also makes it easy to travel to tourist and historical places. Our family had a wonderful time staying here!

Nice to have easy access to the restaurants and shops at St. Aug Beach, and close to ocean/ gorgeous beach. Would have preferred a heated pool given travel w/ kids - not sure when they heat it if not in December? Very responsive and helpful host.

Great location and beach

This was our first trip to St. Augustine Beach. We loved it. Quiet little town with good restaurants (except The Tides Oyster Co., terrible service and just o.k. food), convenient to grocery stores, just minutes away from Downtown St. Augustine. We enjoyed the house very much. Everything was provided as described and the owner was very friendly and accomodating. Would stay there again for sure. The beach is wonderful and it's not too far away from the house. I enjoy walking and it was really no big deal for me. Driving out on the beach made it easier for others in my group and to get all the chairs and stuff down there. Very nice and clean beach.

All the grands

We had a wonderful time. In the trying time with Covid-19 we had booked a vacay to Disney all paid for. Then once the park closed we had our daughter and grands still traveling from out of state so we had to make backup plans. We lucked up on this wonderful rental. Beds are comfortable, house definitely has everything you need to cook etc. Contact with owner is awesome always quick to answer any questions and help. The neighborhood is great for small kids not a lot of traffic and with cul-de-sacs all around they're safe. Easy walk to the beach and after that, the pool topped off the day. Thank you look forward to coming back.

Very disappointed

Not at all like it was depicted in the reviews! We couldn’t tell the last time there were any “upgrades;” everything is worn, not one of the 5 beds were the least bit comfortable; cleanliness is not important, as is evidenced by the buildup from dirty hands on doors and staircase, filthy floors, etc. The air conditioner is governed so it can’t be adjusted, leaving the place damp, to where you could feel the dampness when getting into bed each night; a very uncomfortable feeling. And, as if that wasn’t enough, there was black mold on the ceiling of my bedroom, around the A/C vent, and the place reeked of must every time we walked in the front door. Not a healthy environment. Once again, we were extremely disappointed!

House as Described

The house fits 8 people comfortably. The house was clean and nice upon arrival. There are plenty of games to play and a large kitchen table to play them at. The pool is close by, nice and large. The grounds are well maintained. There is a putt putt course very close walkable distance. Nothing against the house or owner but the only real issue we had was getting to the beach. The house sits at the back side of the property. The walk to the boardwalk isn't bad, however there are stairs leading down to the sand which doesnt make it easy to take a beach cart. After exiting the board walk you must cross a sand dune and also cross over a rutted out beach access road to get to the ocean. The road is for 4wd vehicles only and the tire tracks were at least a foot deep while we were there. We never seen them maintain/drag the road the 7 days we were there. This made it extremely hard for smaller kids and our older family members to access and enjoy the beach. Otherwise, a great time was had!

About the host

Hosted by Jody Morrissey

My husband and I have always wanted a beach home. Living in CA, this is almost impossible! My childhood friend moved to St. Augustine and spoke so highly of the area, she insisted on me visiting to check it out. I fell in love with St. Augustine! The history, the beaches, the local people and the color of the area!!!

Why they chose this property

This is such an awesome community! 42 cottages nested together and sharing the beautiful beach, pool and community house. All within walking distance to everything you would want! Park your car for the week, and walk everywhere!

What makes this property unique

You can see the pool from the deck, and there is lots of St. Augustine grass for the kids to play on right outside the house. Easy walk to the beach, and walk to just about anything on St. Augustine beach!
