This was a wonderful pet friendly place! The layout and fenced back yard worked great for our family needs. This home is a short 5min walk to the beach and the garage had plenty of beach toys in it. The home is also a nice short drive to downtown St. Augustine. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying here again!

Our family enjoyed our stay. The walk to the beach is short and easy. The beach is amazing. The road noise is loud. The home was clean and the large dining room table was perfect for family games. Pet friendly and no dog smell at all. The fenced in yard is perfect for a dog. The Galaga game was a fun extra treat! I would bring my family back!!

Some issues

The location was amazing due to being right off a Main Street and the beach was so close we were able to walk back and forth when needed. Some issues we had were the air conditioner wouldn’t get cooler than 78 until it was early morning and we did keep the doors and windows shut the whole time. We called the after hours number a few times and no one came out to look at the air conditioner then we were busy until the day before we left. The house was not clean at all. The doors needed to be clean due to in some areas they were black from people touching them, one of the bathtubs had sand still in it when we arrived, the return vents had a ton of dust on them, there were candy wrappers behind a nightstand in one of the bedrooms, and under the couch looked like it hadn’t been cleaned ever with a ton of dust possibly dog hair and play balls under them. The couch even though it says it pulls out it does not unless there is a special technique for it, but we all tried to figure it out.

Great location near the beach

Despite being on A1A the house was very quiet and Online accuracy and description was 100 %. We would stay there again. Plenty of room for my kids to space out. And the beach is so wide in that area and only a two minute drive to get on the beach with your vehicle. And plenty of turtles.

Great location

This house is in a great location! Like some of the other reviews said it is on a busy street so you can hear some traffic and the house itself at times can be pretty dark. Also, the yard is very small, but it was fenced in so great for our dogs. It was literally just minutes to walk to the beach and you don’t have to cross major streets to get there so the location couldn’t be beat!

Charming get away.

A charming and eclectic home, spacious and comfortable. Very well provisioned - a prior tenant had warned not to over pack and they were right! From boogie boards to sand toys, towels of all kinds, coffee filters - you name it, it was there. The traffic noise was a bit loud, especially since it was a holiday week, and the lack of sod in the backyard made for a muddy mess when it rained - some grass or mulch around the pretty porch would be a big help! We enjoyed our stay immensely - others of my family were in a home across from the beach just a few blocks from us and it made for a wonderful family vacation.

Good family vacation spot.

This house was perfect for me, my kids and grand kids. The bedrooms are large. There were air mattresses in the closet. My kids loved that there were puzzles to work and games to play. Don't overpack. There are beach toys, chairs, boogie boards and even a shade tent in the garage. Only a short walk to the beach and a short drive to everything.
