Great Stay!
The house is very well maintained and clean. The main floor layout is open, which makes it easy to hang out and spend time with friends and family. The backyard is perfect to hang out, swim, watch tv and BBQ. It’s a short walk to some restaurants and walkable to the Amp. Management team is super responsive and accommodating.

Long term stay
We were able to stay in this beautiful home for 5 weeks in 2025. We booked this home because of all its outdoor amnesties. Even though half of our stay was cold we would stay in this home again. It has a great layout & the management company was easy to communicate with.

Perfect home for vacation to St Augustine
Our family takes a family vacation (6 adults, 5 children (ages 9-18), and one dog) every year to various locations. We picked St Augustine this year and were not disappointed! This home is very conveniently located to the beach, lighthouse, putt putt, the Alligator Farm, historic St Augustine, and many restaurants. We enjoyed the pool every day either before or after an adventure. The home is very clean and had plenty of space for everyone. Kelly, the property manager, was very responsive to my emails, texts, and phone calls. We enjoyed this vacation so much we are considering going back next year and hopefully renting the same home.

Great location and host
The house was perfect for 6 adults, 3 kids, and 2 dogs. Room for more. House was very well stocked and clean. The pictures do not do the listing justice. Kids and adults had fun in the pool. The outside television and bumper plates in the garage was an added bonus. Great neighborhood for early morning running. The host was amazing. Responded quickly to all our questions (hurricane season) and made us feel right at home. We will be back!

A Perfect Retreat
We don’t normally rent from a place that has no reviews, but Kelly, our host, was VERY quick to respond to ALL of my questions prior to renting, so we decided to try this newly listed home! It was very clean, beautifully decorated, and well thought out in every way. The kitchen was well equipped, and even had plastic storage for leftovers. We didn’t have to go to the store the first night because there were a few coffee pods, a roll of paper towels, some bottled water and toilet paper already stocked.
All bedrooms were beautifully decorated and had very comfortable beds.
Garage was set up as workout area and we used it each morning.
Outdoor pool area had nice outdoor furniture, a great grill, kegerator ( which we used!), and a very clean salt water pool. Pool guy showed up twice while we were there and enjoyed chatting with him about local things.
100% recommend.
We will definitely be back!
