This house has EVERYTHING!
Literally, just pack your suitcase and enjoy your stay. Not only was the house beautiful, clean and comfortable but it has everything you'll need. From the kitchen to the beach items available, they have it all. Canal for fishing/kayaking, pool for swimming, and a short walk to the beach. Ginny was available for questions all the way from booking until check out day. She was extremely helpful and has even put together a thorough guide that answers any questions you may have. Having the pool heated was so wonderful for our kids. The deck off the master bedrooms was such a great bonus, and when inside, the kids were kept busy in the game room. St. Augustine, as a town, is so wonderful with many great restaurants and lots of great history. Don't wait, just book and enjoy! You will not regret it. It's worth every penny!

Great Canal House
We had a great stay here over NYE! The house sits on the end of a canal and has everything you need for water activities-kayaks, paddleboard, fishing gear! Great outdoor space with several sitting areas to view the sunsets. Easy drive to historic St. Augustine for activities. Highly recommend the Italian restaurant Viola’s an easy walk from the home. Kitchen is well stocked with everything you could need! Kids will love the game room! We can’t wait to come back.

Wonderful Oasis
Ginny and Grant provide a beautiful home for a great get-away. Their home is beautiful and clean. We were pleasantly surprised to find many items were provided (tissues, facial cosmetic wipes, shampoo and conditioner and body wash, paper towels) that we have not found in other VRBO homes. The pool area has a variety of sitting areas where we were able to enjoy the sunshine and also escape from the sun when needed. The pool was clean and refreshing. We went to the beach and found the access easy. We really enjoyed our stay at this beautiful home, inside and out! We hope to be back!

Fantastic Vacation Home with everything we needed
This property was perfect for the wide age range of my family from my 89 year old father to my youngest child of 6 years old! We loved the first floor master for my parents with an accessible bathroom and my Dad was even able to go for a dip in the pool which he hasn’t done for ages. Also greatly appreciated were all the extra amenities for activities such as kayaks, paddle boards, bait buckets, pool floats, basketball hoop and balls. The outside covered porch was excellent for my mom who can’t do the sun. Other nice touches were the makeup remover wipes and Q tips and things of that nature that were added. The neighborhood was great as was communication with the owner. We would definitely recommend this property to others! Thanks again for a wonderful family vacation!

I can’t say enough positive things about our stay at “Reel Treasure” at Butler Beach/St Augustine. The house was perfect for our group of 8 adults. Exceptionally clean and very well stocked with everything you need and more. You will especially enjoy the kitchen. The thought and attention to detail in furnishings and decor both inside and out was exceptional. The pool and hot tub area was a delight where many of our hours were spent. Communication with the owners was easy, and their response when we reached out was immediate. I would very highly recommend Reel Treasure to anyone looking for a vacation spot in the St Augustine area. This property will by far exceed your expectations!

Reel Treasure is a beautiful home filled with everything and anything extra you might want to have a fun vacation! Great communication with Ginny, sparkling clean home and easy check in and check out process. All the beds are super comfy and the decor throughout the house is very warm & inviting. There are many books and games available to use. Beautiful outdoor settings both upstairs and around the heated pool & spa which we really enjoyed. Although we didn’t have time to use all the extra recreation equipment, it was really nice to have it available. We are a group of 4 siblings/spouses (grandparents), who traveled from the East & West coasts to gather here to spend time together and it was perfect, we certainly hope to get the opportunity to do it again!

Outdoor/Beach Paradise
The magic of this home is in its outdoor space and proximity to Butler Beach. This home is stocked with everything you need both inside and out. You have access to kayaks, bikes, fishing, and beach equipment. The beds and linens were very comfortable. We loved having three bathrooms which allowed everyone the space to get ready. Ginny goes above and beyond with communication and recommendations. She's easily reached if you need anything. Start your day at Ginny's favorite bait shop (also has beautiful sunset views), grab tacos at A1A Burrito Works, and do not miss daily walks to the beach via the private community access.

Family Vacation
We had an absolutely wonderful time at Reel Treasure!! This was a family get away after the holidays. Working in health care and retail during the holidays, Reel Treasure was the perfect medicine to rejuvenate! This house is beautiful and well stocked. Ginny is literally THE BEST. Her attention to detail was impressive and very much appreciated! I have been using VRBO for many many years for our family vacations. Ginny and this home was the best. Exploring St. Augustine was wonderful! We needed more time to soak in all the history. My daughter caught fish off the floating dock everyday. She liked fishing at the pier, but also enjoyed fishing at the house while the guys watched football and the baby slept:) Unfortunately, The weather was chilly, but the heated pool and hot tub were terrific! The bedrooms and bathrooms were beautiful. The beds are all comfortable. The game room is a work in progress. Love that idea! We played ping pong everyday. Restaurant choices were good. Oasis was this family’s favorite for the Po Boy sandwiches. Highly recommend staying at Reel Treasure! Nice neighborhood to walk and ride bikes. If we have the opportunity to come back to St. Augustine, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you Ginny!
