This is a great beach house! The back deck was especially wonderful for eating almost every meal (it was mid-May). It was fun to have a yard for the kids to explore and enjoy and the split bedroom setup was nice. Just enough to set us up for good beach time and one day of exploring downtown St. Augustine. I especially appreciated the small hospitable touches throughout, as well as the really good shower experience in the main suite.Nearby recommendations: Cousteau’s Waffles and Ice Cream exceeded my expectations and The Kookaburra was wonderful for coffee and the best little savory pies.

This was a great location in beautiful St. Augustine. It was only a short walk to the beach. The host was very responsive and gave great recommendations for where to eat in the area. The backyard was very nice. There was a ton of beach equipment in the shed, too.

This house had everything you needed! Beach items! Kitchen fully stocked. Comfortable beds. The Location couldn't be beat. Short 5 minute walk to the beach. And the beach - we were so lucky to be right there. If you looked further north or south on the beach it was much more crowded. Our little area was pretty peaceful. This is probably the best host I've ever interacted with. He quickly addressed any issues that we had. And was very accommodating. Full honesty... There were a couple very minor things - cleanliness, old bath towels, flat pillows.. The place was pretty clean just not super clean. But overall this was a fantastic place. We hopefully will be back in the future. And would love to stay here. So I think that says the most!! Definitely deserves 5 stars.

Home away from home

Home felt like my home or 1 of a close relative. Owner met us at the house when we got in town to show us how to use the door lock and where everything was. He was very friendly and said if we need anything just text him and he would take care of it even if we just wanted a recommendation for food or directions for somewhere. We didnt take him up on the offer because we like just exploring but it was nice that he would do that if needed!!!

Just right in every way

An old group of friends from across the country reuniting for some WSP. Perfect layout for 6 ppl. Room for more. Everything you need for the beach is there. Nice stroll to the boardwalk. Stretch of beach not crowded and parked on the beach every day (4x4). Close to bait shop and launch. Tiki hut perfect for nighttime gatherings. Back porch great for hanging out. Kitchen great for foodies. Attention to detail, clean and very accommodating hosts. Planning on making it an annual event. ("A1A Crab House" highly recommended)

Good week

This place was perfect for the 5 of us. The access to the beach was close & very nice. We didn't pack our beach chairs bc the listing stated some were there.... but we later learned they were broken/ unusable. That is my only complaint, and I shared it with the owner so I feel sure he will correct that issue.

Great location!

The location of this property is amazing! It's literally about a 7 min walk to the beach, across the street! The only downside to the property is we were asked to not use the backyard for "partying or being loud" we had 4 kids age range (12, 12, 12, 15). It needs to be notated in the property that the back yard is not accessible. The Tiki Hut in the front yard was our saving grace! We spent most of our time in the Hut! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. We would definitely stay here again, just without the kids!

Great property.

Great place, we traveled with a family of 7 and the house was perfect. Crossing the A1A to get to the beach was a little difficult at times, there is no crosswalk and traffic does not stop, but once you get to the beach its amazing! A little disappointed in the ammenities, host said we could use anything in the shed, tandem bicycle had clearly not been used in a while, chain was rusty and tires didnt hold air, chairs were rusty and in poor shape. Not a big deal, but why offer it as something to use when its not usable - just get rid of the stuff altogether so people dont have that expectation. Had to request toilet paper as there was none stocked, host responed quickly and dropped some off. Overall a great experience, would stay again.

We Loved This Adorable and Comfortable House

There were 2 parents and 5 adult aged 18-26, and we all fit in this cozy house perfectly. The big, square living room, plus huge sectional and two comfy chairs leaves enough room for everyone to enjoy. The big living room one of my favorite parts. The kitchen is beautiful and supplied with everything. But enough about the beautiful house, the backyard is so peaceful and fun. I took a nap with a margarita in my hand in the hammock. Yes, it is a neighborhood, so there are houses around you, but with the privacy plants all around, you don't even notice! The main event: the beach!! What I loved about this house is there are three beaches nearby! I did not want to lug chairs and things to the beach, so we turned right out of the neighborhood and parked at a public parking lot about 1/4 a mile away. The beach has such fine sand! Further north, across from Salt Life restaurant, by the pier, the sand is much coarser. Where this house is, the A1A is only two lanes (so less traffic and road noise), the beach is flatter (much better), as opposed to steeper by the pier which has a steep beach, and it is a delight. Yes, the water was cold in January, but the five young adults were in it for hours. Back to the house. I loved that there was plenty of room at the dining table. When houses say they sleep 8, but only have a table for 4 or 6, that annoys me. Not a problem here. The beds were comfortable, and the master sweet has a huge closet with hangers. The bathrooms are so nice! Easy to find and navigate to when first arriving! Cute neighborhood. For the price, you cannot beat this wonderful house!! Great owner too! Quick communications and nice person! I could not be happier with our stay!
