Right on the beach and beautiful
There’s nothing quite like waking up, stepping onto the screened in porch, and seeing the ocean while you have a cup of coffee. Great amenities, cute and functional property, and a fun selection of board games and puzzles. The location is pretty fantastic, with plenty of eateries within a short drive or walk. Very close to downtown St. Augustine, but not so close you have to experience the traffic.

This quaint & cozy house right on the beach is one of our favorite places to spend a week away from the hustle & bustle of life. Listening to the waves at night and waking up to the sun rising through the master bedroom sliding glass doors is just amazing! ☀️

Family Vacation
We had a great time with our family of 4 at this home. It is a smaller home on the block, so would not be good for more than 4-6 people. The private pool is fantastic, the heater was turned on for us on arrival (i did call to confirm many times). The home was very clean when we arrived. The walk to the beach is beautiful through the marsh. You cannot take a wagon through this area as there is a lot of hills and decking fyi. But it is close enough to bring just a few things, very close. To be noted, the porch is screened in, but with many holes. I did inform the management of this to be improved for our next visit as it is a safety issue. Things to bring: beach umbrella, small fans to sleep (there are ceiling fans), laundry basket, beach towels (there are a couple), pool toys/buckets. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location!!
Great place for family and plenty of space for a family. It was clean and comfortable. Pool was nicely heated too! We loved the direct private access to the beach. There really isn’t anything negative to say other than we would have like an additional roll of paper towels, garbage bags, toilet paper, and a spray/cleaner to clean off the stove and counters. The primary bed, while comfortable, had a a board in between the mattress and box spring that stuck out that is a bit dangerous to which we kept running our leg into. Maybe add a more comfortable outdoor couch for the outdoor pool area. Thanks!!

Great house, property managers are terrible.
This was a great house and we had a great time overall but Vacasa is a TERRIBLE, USELESS property management company. I called 3 days ahead of our check-in to request the pool heater be turned on as instructed, since it takes 3 days to heat up. I sent several follow up messages to confirm. Upon arrival the pool was not heated and the front door was jammed and we were unable to get in. We finally forced our way in and I called Vacasa that evening to remedy both issues. Vacasa never did anything about either issue. I sent messages and called every day, all day of our stay and they never sent anyone out. We had to basically leave the front door open the entire time so we wouldn’t get locked out. Furthermore the reason I rented this house was for the heated pool that turns out we couldn’t use. Even if they had sent someone out the first day we could have eventually used the pool. But no one ever came. We are lucky we didn’t break the front door because we had to force our way in every time. Again, no one was sent out to fix either thing despite my CONSTANT messaging and calls. The incompetency of Vacasa is astounding. They could not have cared less.
OWNERS GET A NEW PROPERTY MANAGEMENT COMPANY. This is a great house and could have been perfect but the property management company is useless. If you are renting this house and expect to use the pool - make sure you are going in the warm months, otherwise the pool is useless.

Big Sparks
Fan sparks came off the twin bedroom ceiling fan our first night. Power in other bedroom, bathroom, hallway and some outlets in living room didn't work.
Also the two tvs wouldn't work . We reset the breaker but it tripped again and sparked again. We contacted Vacasa and other managers 4 times .Nobody returned calls or came to fix. The smoke detector was gone.
Because of the safety concerns we left before spending our other night. We LOVED everything else about the home!

Rent a Vacasa Property at Your Own Risk!
This house is a bit dated and not as well maintained as it should be for the price. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are very small. However, we still liked the beach, pool and screened porch. I would have given the house a 3-star review, if it were not for the property manager Vacasa. They are a train wreck. One of the two toilets in the house was broken when we arrived. Despite repeated phone calls, texts and assurances by Vacasa representatives that a plumber would be sent to fix the toilet, no plumber ever came during the entire week we were there. One Vacasa local representative even used the F word when he blamed others at Vacasa and the plumber for the lack of response. I was astounded at his lack of professionalism. I will never rent a house that is managed by Vacasa again.

Beautiful views - don't hesitate to book!
Just got back yesterday - family of 5 including 3 adult children.
Views from this home are fabulous! Pictures are accurate - home is well-decorated/very cute and it was clean upon our arrival. Kitchen has everything you need - we cooked every night and had no issues finding utensils, pots, pans, salt/pepper ++. Pretty sure oven was brand new. There was a good number of beach accessories (4-5 chairs, soccer tent, several balls, wagon) but we had our own. Be mindful that this is an older property but it does click the majority of the boxes for most - book this for the views and the price!! We did have a couple of issues upon arrival - 1) main door wouldn't open and sliding door wouldn't lock. 2) pool wasn't heated as I requested 3 days prior - yet Vacasa was quick to respond to my texts and sent Don who fixed everything quickly and with a great attitude! There is a resident turtle you will/should see on your walk from the home to the beach - he is an added bonus and adorable!

Adorable cottage, great location, needs major maintenance!
The property is cute and just what we were looking for but needs major maintenance. If you want a beach cottage this property fits the bill as long as things work. When we arrived the kitchen and master bath were not clean. Also, the pool was not filled up enough, windows won't stay open, sliding door stuck, garbage disposal broken, dryer broken, towel bars broken and kitchen sink leaks. Its too bad because everything else about this property is great!

Where do I even start
Not pet OR person friendly. I read the reviews and the listing thoroughly before booking and the condition the property was in upon our arrival was unforgivable. We actually cut our vacation in half due to the state of the property. Here are just some of the things we experienced:
-floors had food/debris remaining from prior guest and laminate planks don’t connect in some places throughout the house (when staying with dogs this is dangerous).
-urine smell emanating from area rugs
-lawn was about 6-8 inches high and impossible to let the dogs near.
-we paid extra for the pool to be heated but couldn’t use it because the patio area was full of beach debris and bugs and no one appeared to have skimmed the pool in days.
-kitchen cabinets had grim and fingerprints and appeared to have never been cleaned.
Overall, too many pillows and bric-a-brac everywhere - generally wouldn’t be a bad thing but when not cleaned correctly or in this case ever it’s hard to look past.
Finally, during and after our stay we contacted the management company about all of this and more and have yet to hear back. If you are considering this property for a pet friendly vacation, my best advice would be to find another rental.
