Rundown
Good layout of house. However, overgrown landscaping, needs a deep cleaning, spraying for bugs, better linens and towels, furniture needs cleaning, mattresses need covers and upgraded, electrical needs upgraded. The pictures on listing are very outdated or were modified to look perfect.

Beautiful but not what the pictures show
Beautiful. Short walk to the beach access. Pool small dirty and cold. Broken door to the dirty screened porch. Neighbors are disrespectful to renters. And absolutely no noice at all aloud at all all day!

Excellent location but not the most comfortable
The house had all the amenities and was in an excellent location. However, the pool was super dirty and wasn’t cleaned until the 2nd to last day before we left (1 week stay)…. The beds were comfortable but all the couches/chairs were absolutely atrocious, and because of bad weather we spent a lot of time at the house. The sitting area definitely needs some better seating options because they destroyed everyone’s back.

Perfect for Your Family
Kids can get rammy on vacation, but not in this place. The game shack was a life saver! Lots of laughter and competitive play, televisions in three rooms, great memories, and away from the crowded holiday sidewalks of St Augustine. Even the dog had a good time in the safely enclosed back yard. Thanks so much for this great experience!

Nice stay but a few issues
We enjoyed our stay and the interior of the home was clean. There were plenty of amenities provided from towels to toilet paper. The game room area is a nice addition, especially for kids.
The pictures of the pool area do not reflect the actual surroundings. There is potential there but the cage was covered with leaves and although the pool water looked clear, the concrete in the pool was not inviting.
The hand railing inside needs to be replaced or repainted, once again not reflected in the pictures. They also need to correct the hot water tank timer. Two times my husband had to restart the hot water tank because it was shut off and we had no hot water. Management was very nice and apologetic for this issue however it needs to be corrected.

Short walk to the beach
Location is great, close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. Plenty of room and the pool was perfect after a long day in the sun. The beds were a little too firm for my liking but everything else was spot on.
