This was a very nicely furnished and clean cottage. It is a little farther south along the beach, but that also meant it was less congested also. Beach access was great. We would stay here again if back in the area.

We have stayed in Surf Crest many times but this was our favorite! The covered outdoor seating was perfect for rainy summer afternoon hangouts. The indoor space was clean, modern and comfortable. We would LOVE to stay here again!

Beach Getaway

Our week in St. Augustine at this rental was just what we needed. Heather was fantastic about communicating, everything we needed was right there, and the beach was literally 200 steps from the house. We will definitely be going back! We made so many new family memories amd look forward to making more there.

Home away from home

We loved everything about this location! It's only like a two minute walk and your feet are in the ocean. The house was super clean and makes you feel like you are at home. We have came to this neighborhood 3 years in a roll, and we are already looking forward to coming back next year.

Beach cottage in St Augustine

We loved our stay in this cute beach cottage in St. Augustine. Location was perfect close to lots of shopping, great restaurants and local attractions. Its so nicely decorated and very well equipped with everything we needed. So close to the beach we could walk over to the beach in a couple of minutes. We enjoyed walking the beach and looking for sea shells every morning. This cottage was perfect in every way for our week we would love to go back for another visit. Host was great and answered all our questions and was very helpful. Highly recommend this property.

FALL FAMILY VACATION

This was the perfect place for my family of 5. The beach was within walking distance, so we went every morning or evening. Old Saint Augustine was within a short driving distance allowing us to visit and sight-see a few times during our visit. The property was clean, fully furnished, and well stocked. We would definitely like to visit here again.

Beach house LOVE

This beach house is ADORABLE, true to photos, perfectly outfitted, and very clean! I walked to the beach with my coffee mug each morning-so close! Heather was the perfect host-always available, but no helicopter hosting. Can’t say enough good things. Highly recommended!!
