Awesome house, great layout, perfect location!

We absolutely loved this house! It was the perfect layout for our group, was a 2 min walk to the beach, in a safe and cute neighborhood, with easy and quick access to groceries. 12 min to downtown St. Aug, which was an easy drive. The house was clean and the pool area was awesome—paying to heat the pool was worth every penny.

The property location is great. The property itself is very clean. None of the exterior lights on the rear of the house were functional. I couldn’t find the switch nor did I ask management. Could have been operator error on my part.I would highly recommend people stay there.

Problems every day

The pool was dirty. We had no internet and TV except for one half day. Talking to Nicholas everyday at VRBO was a nightmare. He thought we couldn't turn on a TV right and the internet was our problem when the owner said they were changing companies. This will be the last time I rent from VRBO. Everyday of our trip I was talking to Nicholas from VRBO trying to get things done. I paid extra to have the pool heated but couldnt use it because it was dirty. Beware!!

Amazing Vacation!

We had an amazing vacation! Steps to the beach, private pool, fenced in yard and a short drive to grocery and shops of St. Augustine. We had everything we needed to comfortably house our group of 4 adults, 4 kids and 2 dogs. The two refrigerators gave us plenty of space for a week of grocery and drinks. Beds were comfy, liked the extra throw blankets throughout the house and the12 beach towels included was a big plus. As far as the beach supplies goes we were provided everything needed with an umbrella, coolers, toys, cart and chairs.

We just loved our stay here. We were 6 adults, 2 children and an infant and our 2 pets. we were all very comfortable and the location was great. A short drive over the bridge and you were in St. Augustine. Boys in our group went to the TPC and that was also a very short drive. Beach was beautiful and just across the street, a very short walk.
