Our stay was great! We were there for 4 nights. The instructions for checkin were clear and the house was immaculately clean and beautiful. We had a great stay. It’s located no more than 15 minutes from the downtown area with all the activities. And just a couple minute walk from the beach. Publix and a gas station within walking distance. Highly recommend and thank you for a great stay!
We had a fantastic time with our family at the perfect place—Sea la Vie!! If you’re looking for a clean, spacious home in a quiet neighborhood that’s just a short walk to the beach, I highly recommend Sea la Vie.
We had a great time with family and friends. The kitchen was amazing we love it. We had a party of 14 it was really spacious and clean. Will definitely come back another day.
We loved the location of this home . It is walking distance to the beach and a short ride to historic district . It is great for a large family or multigenerational get away .

Property was immaculate and just as described in the listing. Plenty of room and very well stocked. Perfect for the extended family to enjoy!

We're so glad you had such a great time at Sea La Vie. This is a gem among gems and we love it! Thanks for the great review!
This was by far one of our favorite trips! The communication was above and beyond with the manager and they had everything we needed to cook, chill, play and enjoy our time. Kitchen had everything we needed for big family meals and the walk to the beach area was AMAZING!!! We loved every minute!!!

We’re really grateful and appreciate you taking the time to share your rating with us. Hope to host you again soon!
Enjoyed our stay for our family of 7 including children and grandparents. Easy walk to the beach and the pool with covered porch was the favorite spot. The kitchen was spacious and great for cooking breakfast. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with exception of one downstairs bedroom that has a different mattress from others. Is on a quiet street and walking distance to a playground and easy drive to restaurants etc. Would definitely stay here again!

Hi Anonymous -- we're thrilled you and your extended family had such a wonderful time at Sea la Vie! We're glad you enjoyed all the amenities and great location this home has to offer and we look forward to seeing you again!
This house is so convenient to the beaches, Publix, and several restaurants! Cap’s was the best on Vilano Beach. The house has 5 bedrooms so everyone had a room or couch. The kitchen is a chef’s kitchen and we needed nothing to prepare wonderful meals at home. I would recommend to anyone who wants to visit St. Augustine, Fl.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave an excellent rating. We really appreciate your business. Please let us know what we can do for you in the future.
This property was fantastic. I already looked to see if we could book it for two weeks next summer!
Ideal location for walking to the beach and shops. Nice perk was being able to grab snacks and beverages at gas station on route to beach! We didn’t do half of the stuff we wanted to because property was so great and relaxing.

We love the Vilano Beach neighborhood with its quiet and peaceful atmosphere while still being close to all the great restaurants, historic sites, and the beach. We're glad you had such a great time during your stay and that we were able to exceed your expectations. We thank you for choosing to stay with The Proper Group and we look forward to welcoming you back anytime.
House was great and had lots of rooms to allow separation of 4 families, with only 1 group sharing bathroom. Only bad thing, is the stairs, for folks having issue going up/down every day.. but that was only bad thing ..house was good to host our whole family.

Hi Keith! We're honored you chose us to host your family reunion. We're glad you and your family had such a great time aside from the stairs. Thanks for the positive review and we look forward to hosting you and your family next year!
The house was amazing everything about it was perfect for my family gathering. The property manager was so attentive to any of my concerns before booking the house. Thank You!

Jordan and Tom were nothing but amazing. They were super responsive and great hosts. We had accidentally left some things behind, and they were very accommodating and we were able to coordinate getting everything back. The house itself was huge!! It was very clean and had everything we needed (including a good stash of spices/cooking oil). My friends and I really enjoyed staying here. I would highly recommend staying here, and if I’m ever in St. Augustine again, I would 100% stay here.

WOW- Thanks for the great review! I will be sure to share with the entire team - it will make their day :)
This was a fantastic house! It is very spacious. Very short walk to the beach. The house was very clean and well stocked with the basics. Very quiet neighborhood which we enjoy very much. Would definitely recommend. The only things that would improve this house would be better internet service and a gas grill along with the house being ready for check in at four PM. We would definitely stay her again if we would return to St. Augustine.

Hi Pam -- thanks for the positive review and the feedback. We're sorry the home wasn't ready for you at 4 pm. Our cleaning crew works as hard as they can to ensure all homes are ready for check-in by 4 pm but this was our busy season and sometimes it takes longer than we expect.
We'll speak with the owner about the internet and gas grill. We hope to host you again.
Everything was perfect. The location , the property conditions. You have everything you need to have a fun vacation. My only suggestion is the air conditioner, we couldn’t put the air below 69 degrees. There are some room hotter than others. Other than that is the perfect home for a perfect vacations.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are glad you enjoyed our property and had a nice Christmas getaway!! Happy New Year!
We had a really nice time in the house with our extended family to celebrate a milestone birthday. Great proximity to beach and downtown.
Feedback for property:
1. Checkout procedures are a bit extreme given the hefty cleaning fee! There was inconsistency with the directions as well depending on where you review checkout policies.
2. Downstairs bed (queen) was really lumpy and soft. Recommend getting a new mattress!
Overall it was a great home and a great visit. Thank you!

Hi Jessica, thanks so much for the review.We are so happy you had an enjoyable stay. We ask guests to please place all used bedding and linens at the door of the room it was used in, make sure all locks and windows are closed- some of our houses are empty for awhile in between stays, place all trash in appropriate receptable - we handle taking bins out and returning them and run the dishwasher- you don't have to empty it :)Our automated messages are the most current check out procedure- we apologize for any confusion. We will pass on your comment about the mattress to homeowners
We loved our stay at Sea La Vie in St. Augustine. The house was very well appointed and provided our family plenty of room to spread out! The home was beautiful as shown in the pictures. We truly enjoyed our stay here. The beach was a tad bit further than we anticipated and with two parents in there 70s we were able to have a good solution. We loaded our beach gear up in the back of the truck and there is a public beach access 2ish blocks away that we could unload our stuff and let our parents out. This made it easier on us to taking our things to the beach. There were a few things missing in the kitchen that we would have thought a home at this price range would have. For example, some pitchers for tea or lemonade and tupperware for leftovers. Also, be careful if stepping off the deck to the wooden landing as it seems a little wobbly. The kids were doing that and we had to direct them to always use the stairs at the end of the deck. We'd love to stay at this home again and in St. Augustine!
