I rented this place to celebrate my mom’s birthday. The property is so nice and a great size. Love the beach vibes it gives and it’s super clean. The pool was amazing, lots of space in the pool area. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. Also, it’s so close to downtown; literally a 5-7 min drive, which is perfect to Uber since the parking isn’t that great downtown. I loved it here and would absolutely book again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location and amenities

This was the perfect house for a long weekend. We were able to bike to the local amphitheater for a show and had a plenty of food options near by. Additionally, we brought our boat and used it for a day to see some local sites from the water. Finally, the house was well furnished with comfortable beds and a well-maintained pool. We'd definitely go back!

Cute Historic House

The house is located in an area close to dining, the property is well kept Pool is older but fine to take a dip in. Had we stayed a day or two longer we would have had to go buy papergoods, as only one roll of TP per bathroom was provided. There was a white travel van that was parked in front of the property the entire stay and it freaked my kids out a little. Overall a great stay.

Excellent Location

Our family had off shore fishing trips planned all weekend, being walking distance to the marina was exactly what we wanted. The pool offered a relaxing afternoon/evening after being out fishing all day. The Home was clean and had beyond our expectations of kitchen cookware available. We will definately book this Home again in the Future

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! We walked to a nice dinner at Conch House and walked to Juicy for some fantastic healthy breakfast bowls! Spent a day in the ancient city as well as Anastasia Island. The Saturday farmers market at the amphitheater was fun too. The house was very cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. We spent our last day lounging by the pool. Over all, a great experience!

Perfect Stay

The top attribute I need to mention about this property is the cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless inside and out. Very evident the owner's use the property themselves and care about it. The location was excellent, the kitchen was well-appointed, and we all loved the pool. Would definitely recommend.

8/10 Good

it is adorable and very vintage. walking distance to down town and a short drive to the beach.

Good for families and has enough space to fit 6 people and the pool was a nice place to cool off in the evenings after a day spent at the beach. Walking distance to my favorite Mellow Mushroom so that was nice. Only negatives would be that the ac is weak when it is really hot out and the sprinkler system that kicks on at 4am is loud and smells very bad. Will rent it again in the cooler season since it is a fabulous location.

Horrible Property Manager!

We arrived at the home to pee covered towels under the carpeting, feces on the side of one of the toilets and a dishwasher that smelled so bad it was unusable. Regardless of all that, we were just thrilled to be on vacation and planned to overlook the cleaning issues. Then on our 3rd night at the property, the AC stopped working. We informed the property manager right away but a whole second day went by with no air conditioning. When my husband asked why they had not been out to fix the issue, we were told that the only 24 hour company was unavailable. When he responded with other companies that did provide 24 hour service, the property manager responded with "oh, I guess you did your research." They proceeded to bring us portable units that smelled horrible and leaked all over the floors. The reduced the temperature to a cool 82 degrees and were so loud we couldn't even watch a movie. On day 3, still no AC, we spoke with Dave. I was extremely disappointed in his disposition and lack of urgency for our situation. At one point he said "It's not that bad!" At this point the temperature in the house was 84 degrees and we had lost a full day of our once per year vacation dealing with these issues. Dave proceeded to tell us we could either leave and find another house or wait and receive credit for one day. We decided to leave and were told we would need to vacate by 5pm to receive credit for our stay. Horrible treatment for a family just trying to enjoy their vacation.

Great Location, but needs TLC

This house was really cute and the location is very convenient, however there is no walkable beach nearby. It is a short drive to the beach and also to downtown historic St. Augustine. The kitchen is very well stocked, probably the best of any vacation rentals we’ve stayed at. The property management company called while we were on our way to ensure we had the check in code, etc and were very attentive. That being said, I couldn’t give this a 5 star rating because the house and the pool definitely need some TLC, especially the AC. The pool needs to be resurfaced, there are huge chunks of the floor missing and it’s rough. The AC also needs desperate help. I’m a born and raised Floridian so I’m used to the FL heat, but the AC is either very old and needs to be updated or is not big enough for the house. I’m sure it’s fine during the winter time, but in the middle of summer it was rough. And we kept the blinds closed and were out of the house most of the day so there is no reason for the AC not to cool properly if it is up to date. Again, the house is very cute, very well stocked but the pool & AC need help soon!

Filthy roach/bed beetles invested & hot as hell

It was horrible. It was filthy. It was roach & bed bug or bettles of some sort in single bed on left under sheet and mattress protector. Nest infestation of those located by my 12 yo granddaughter. Roaches on my Mellow Mushroom pizza when I returned to the kitchen for another slice 🤮 I sent pictures in previous email. She also found an ironing board that fell out of the wall and made a goose egg on her forehead. A smaller child could have been injured worse. The air conditioning unit is not adequate for the house. It was hot as hell inside. I was exhausted from waking up in a puddle of sweat multiple times a night so we left Wednesday a day early. Gladly. I will never rent another property from Sunshine realty. I have never had such a horrible experience. And did I mention the place is visibly filthy and stunk. Gross. I do NOT recommend.
