This is a place to go if you just want to relax. Theres nothing (restaurants, entertainment etc) in walking distance, but Vilano and St Augustine are both just a short drive away. Would definitely recommend.

Our Favorite Beach House

This was the third time staying at Colleen's and it did not disappoint. The location of the house is perfect! There's plenty of room to spread out (inside & out). The beds are comfy and there's plenty of towels, toys & pantry items. We have created so many memories here, I would highly recommend staying here!!

Thanksgiving 2024

Great location and very nice home. Needed more attention for check in. Freezer was full of ice because the icemaker won't shut off. Filled up the sink twice with ice cubes. Large flower pot broken in the driveway.

slice of beach heaven

My new home away from home! I love being able to walk right out the back door and onto the beach. And almost just as important for me was being able to bring my dog and having the freedom to walk the beach without the public crowds. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Does not disappoint.

Great Beach stay!

This was a great house! Love the environmental friendly geothermal air conditioning system and prefer to keep our Florida beaches free from chemicals. But Just a note if you happen to have a ‘pregnant’ or ‘sensitive to smells’ person in your party… sitting on the deck you may experience a bit of a sulfur smell when air is running.

A Perfect Week

What a wonderful week at this property! The beach was incredible and it felt so private. We loved the shady area under the porch: it was the perfect spot to stay out of the sun and still enjoy the ocean. The house has great views from almost every room and we really appreciated the extra towels. Hope to return next year!

Sandy Feet Retreat in South Ponte Vedra Beach

This was the second time our family spent a full week in this oasis in Paradise and we hope to spend many more family vacations there. The four bedroom, three bedroom house, smack dab on the beach, provided more than enough room for our family of eight with, a beautiful deck, facing, the beach, a large kitchen with every utensil imaginable and largefamily room, big TVs, all kinds of ocean toys, such as surfboards, boogie boards, and play things galore. The host, Colleen, was super cooperative and helpful, and made certain that everything met our expectations. From 1 to 10, we give this property a 12.

House was as advertised, it is an older home but it fit our needs perfectly. Colleen was great to communicate with and was helpful. Two family’s of four for comfortably. Can’t beat waking up to the ocean out your window!

Enjoyable 2nd Stay

This was the second time we had stayed at this wonderful beachfront home. There is plenty of room to sprawl out on the main floor and a large deck to enjoy meals on or just hang out. The best part is the ocean is only steps away! There are plenty of beach chairs and beach towels and even some boogie boards! We had no troubles checking in or out and everything was a breeze during our stay. I would highly recommend this lovely little beach retreat!

Sandy Feet

Our small family spent a wonderful Thanksgiving in Sandy Feet. Proximity to beach was an added plus. Plenty of towels and chairs were on hand. Kitchen was well equipped. The only thing I would add to house is a handbar inside the master tub/shower for safety.

Beach Vacation

Property is clean and cozy beachfront cottage with great views. Actual property is more roomy than pictured and easily accomodated three large adults. Kitchen is on the smaller side, but didn't impact meal prep and there is extra counter space on the dining side. Beach was secluded and surf fishing was fantastic. Caught multiple varieties of fish daily. Also saw large dolphin pods swimmimg by daily. Enjoyed the stay and would stay again.

Pictures and description are deceiving

This house is just ok. We stayed here with 5 adults and 2 children and it was pretty cramped. The shared spaces are very small, definitely not large enough for 8 adults and 3 kids as the listing mentions. The kitchen is tiny with only an apartment sized dishwasher, it made it very hard to cook and clean up the kitchen for a large group. The house is very old and sound travels. You can hear people in the common areas and the deck from every room in the house, making it hard to sleep if other people were up and about. The AC barely worked in the basement rooms and it was very warm down there. The bathrooms are dated and some of the towels were bloody and had holes in them. One of the bathroom had several dead bug carcasses on the floor. The floors have been replaced with vinyl but the subfloor was missing in some spots making it uneven to walk on. It kind of felt like you might fall in. The property is right on the water with a big deck, which is nice. However, on the deck there is a rancid smell, I think from the septic system, making it hard to sit and enjoy the view. The house is very dark and a lot of the lights don’t really work or are finicky. If you rent this house, just be aware the updates are surface level and this house really is just a small rustic beach cottage.

Perfect!

The location and home were just perfect for our vacation. Being just a few steps from the ocean with little ones allowed us to walk out to ocean/beach and back to the house as needed. Low tide leaves a spacious sandy area to play in. The deck and lower area allowed us to always have shade somewhere. Appreciated sand toys and beach chairs, too! Thank you, Colleen!
