The home was perfect. My husband and I felt very much at home. Our children & grandchildren stayed with us on the weekends. The house was close to the beach, Night of Lights was wonderful, and there are so many restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance.

Absolutely Beautiful!

Check in was really easy especially after a long day of traveling. The home was spotless and very welcoming. A/C worked great and it was really close to the downtown area and a bunch of fun little restaurants. The beach wasn’t crowded at all. It was a very peaceful and relaxing stay! Perfect for a couple or a whole family!

From the time of booking, we had excellent communication from the host! They gave clear directions on how to get to the home, the keypad, and checkout instructions. They also checked on us to be sure things were going ok and ask if we needed anything.The house is so cute and looks recently updated. It is laid out great with a nice kitchen/open living, good size master with excellent walk-in shower, and good size extra bedrooms. There is a nice outdoor area with a grill and patio seating. We were surprised to have an outdoor shower on the other side of the house, inside the gate for privacy, to wash off sand from the beach. There were extra beach chairs and towels available; most everything we could need.Everything worked great; cold A/C, hot water, washer/dryer, dishwasher! The house is perfectly located five minutes south of St. Augustine Beach and five minutes north of Butler Beach, and convenient to Publix, Wal-Mart, restaurants, and downtown St. Augustine. The neighborhood is quiet. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely book again when we bring the family down to visit our oldest son who lives in St. Augustine now.
