Simply Amazing

We have stayed at a few different properties in this location. Hands down, this was the best. It’s the attention to small details that made the difference for us. I was thinking of not reviewing because I don’t want the secret out and want to stay here more often myself but the owners are so nice I couldn’t do it. Thank you again for welcoming us into your home. It was perfect.

Perfect getaway!

This was a great retreat to St. Augustine. The property is a great location - easily accessible to everything we wanted to do - and had everything we needed. Jodi was super friendly and responsive. Restaurants, the grocery store, mini golf, ice cream, the ocean... all only steps away!

Great location, beautifully furnished and clean.

This beach cottage was one of the best maintained and furnished vacation rentals I have stayed at using VRBO. All the amenities of home in a great community and perfect beach location. Not only were we able to see the sunrise on the ocean, but appreciated the closeness to historic St Augustine. The owner was super nice, accommodating and easy to communicate with. Everything you need for your beach vacation is available and there are a lot of stores and restaurants if you need to stock up on food or supplies. I would definitely recommend this property and hope to go back soon!

Quite, yet close to the pool and beach.

This is a very family friendly property!!! I stayed for 2 weeks and can't wait to return. I had the pleasure of meeting Jodi and 2 daughters while there. I felt like we were old friends. I appreciated Jodi checking on me (via text) making sure everything was in order and making sure I was enjoying my stay. P.S. the back porch in the late afternoon is awesome!!!

Great location, warm furnishings, welcoming hosts

My boyfriend and I stayed at this property for New Year's. It was perfect! The hosts were easy to communicate with and understanding of our schedule. The location could not be better - the town is a cute beach town with plenty of good food options within walking distance. It is maybe a 1 minute walk to literally hit the sand, which is clean and very walkable. We spent every day on the beach! In the evenings, we would hear sea turtles as we walked. The house itself was spacious for a couple and would be perfect for a young family of four. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxed. Plenty of amenities were included, which is really key for a beach stay. For example: towels, chairs, soap, detergent, linens, coffee... Thank you for some great memories! Would stay again, and would definitely recommend!

Owners do not respond in a timely manner

The noise people throwing parties till 3-4am in the neighborhood was absolutely horrible! Not a family place the week we stayed…people smoked by the pool. The owners just said well call the police, no beach police were on duty. Will never go back to use them.
