Wonderful family time
This house was amazing, pool, hot tub, game room. Location to beach and Historic St. Augustine was perfect. House was immaculate. The digital house guide answered all questions and gave wonderful references for dinner and things to do. Lauren was wonderful with quick email responses. Our family had a wonderful time together at this house!

Didn’t want to leave!
We are frequent visitors to St. A. We have stayed in houses, apartments, condos on the beach… and After Hours is officially our favorite place we have stayed. The house, the pool, the amenities, all of it was perfect. We couldn’t have wished for better. In fact, my teenager cried when we left. She didn’t want to leave. It was that wonderful of a vacation for us. Thank you!

Great FL Vacay!
My family and I loved this property. The hosts went over and above to accomodate their guests. They supplied all of the paper products, and had a well equipped kitchen. Some of the fun included a game room, pool, and hot tub. Very nice place for a family vacation!

Nice, large vacation rental conveniently located in Crescent Beach
This is a nice, well-kept vacation rental property that is great for a large group (we were only 4) and about 20 minutes from downtown St. Augustine. Located among homes and condos on the Inland Waterway side of A1A, with ample parking for ~3 cars. 5 min walk across A1A highway to the public dune walkover bridge to the incredible Crescent Beach (wide and long), and 3 min walk to the public boat ramp for the Inland Waterway. A highlight is the fenced-in backyard with saltwater swimming pool and hot tub (although this costs extra to heat). Also a bocce ball court and a wide variety of games. The garage actually has been converted into a game room with pool table/ping pong top and old-style arcade games (although the Pacman never worked properly). Groceries are 10 min away at either Publix or Winn-Dixie. Try Paladar for a very good Cubano sandwich. Llama is an excellent Peruvian restaurant. Smokin D's BBQ. A few caveats: First, despite the two nice outdoor decks, there isn't really much of a view of the Inland Waterway. Could never find the bocce balls to use their nice court. The provided beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, kids toys are great, but don't forget you will still have to carry them over the dune bridge to get to the beach. The one kayak is definitely on the cheap side. And finally, the kitchen sounds a nicer in the description than it actually is, for example, none of the knives were sharp. But overall, I would stay here again, particularly with a large group.

The Perfect Getaway
We stayed for 3 wonderful days! Everything was absolute perfection - clean, organized, updated, convenient, adorable! Our kids enjoyed the game room, lots of fun to be had. The open space on the top floor (kitchen - living room) made for relaxing evening where we could all spread out and get comfortable together. The bathroom were well stocked with soaps (a nice surprise!). The kids swam in the pool one day, and it was heated and ready for them. Overall, an absolutely amazing stay! Our only regret is not staying longer!

Great place
We loved staying here. The house is beautiful with a great location. We enjoyed the closeness to the beach. The game room kept us occupied while it rained. The pool area was nice as well. I wish it was warmer so I could have swam. The owners were so helpful and nice. We are coming back!!!!!
