Fantastic!

This place is amazing! The house is clean, well set, and in a perfect location, and the host was wonderfully responsive and helpful. We loved the coffee shop next door and the quiet beach down the road and being able to walk to tons of great restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Grandparents Anniversary Trip

We had a total of twenty two family members staying in two houses. We had a large home beachfront and this was our overflow for seven. The pool was an awesome compliment to our ocean front main camp and right around the corner. Brad was great to work with and the house was lovely and very clean.

Perfect for our family

It was a perfect place to stay to celebrate our daughters white coat ceremony. Beach is close and the pool and backyard was a perfect size for all of us (10) to hangout in. We would definitely rent here again.

Perfect place!

A lovely home to spend some relaxing days with family! The pool was much used and the short walk to the beach was perfect. Plenty places to eat and play all within walking distance. Had one question while we were there and Brad responded very quickly and took care of our needs. Great host and great place!

Wonderful Property in the Perfect Location

This house is absolutely perfect! Our family of 6 were extremely comfortable. Very short walk to the beach at the end of the road, and the beach wagon and umbrellas were a nice surprise. Having the private heated pool was awesome, as we didn't have to worry about anyone else around our teenage girls. Do not miss eating at Mango Mango's - the food was outstanding.

Family vacation

This home is in a prime location!!! i was extremely happy with the pool, the privacy was a plus, our trip to the beach was less than a 3 minute walk, the restaurants are fairly close by especially, Kookaburra which is literally right next door (their coffee does not disappoint/dog friendly) also don't forget to try their delicious quiches. Downtown St Augustine is a must(+++) it is within a 10 minute drive, there you will enjoy shopping and eating at lots of great restaurants. My family and i can't wait to rebook for next year's family reunion. Thank you again Brad !!

Thanksgiving Family Getaway

We booked this property for a family get away this Thanksgiving and had an amazing time. Several people in our group flew in from Michigan for the trip. The drive from the Jacksonville Airport was a breeze. I cannot say enough good things about the location of the house. We walked the very short walk to the beach at least once a day which was great. There were so many excellent restaurant choices all within walking distance as well, especially the delicious coffee shop next door that we started each day with. We enjoyed being on the beach side of St. Augustine this trip but also loved how easy it was to drive downtown. Having the option to heat the pool made it an option for use for the kiddos, even on the cooler days. We look forward to hopefully booking this location again in the future!

Perfect Beach Home

Gorgeous home, with an easy walk to the beach. Our party of 6 adults, 4 children, and a dog had PLENTY of room and places to sleep. Very clean and well kept home and yard, with all of the necessities a home provides. We all loved the pool in the back yard. There are so many great restaurants and fun shops within walking distance, including a quaint (and SO good!) coffee shop literally a stone’s throw from the front yard. The owner and property manager are both very responsive. So many memories made in this fantastic rental! I HIGHLY recommend this beautiful home for a family gathering. So accommodating for people of all ages. We all agreed it was the best home we have rented for our yearly St. Augustine vacation.
