We had a great stay overall.

It’s a great location and we had a good time. I was disappointed that they took $25 for not cleaning the grill even though I did clean it. There also was some sugar ants that are just ride of the coffee maker on the wall.

Quiet Beach Time

Nice location with easy access to the beach! Pictures and descriptions are accurate. Quiet low traffic neighborhood. While you can't see the beach from the cottage (because of the height of the dunes) you get the ocean roars and breezes. Third party handles this unit with good communication. Note: Only a starter kit of TP, trash bags etc. are provided, so plan accordingly.

Beach Front - No View

This listing was accurate however I must reiterate that you cannot SEE the beach from rental. Technically it IS beach front but you have no view of the water at all, nor can you access the beach from the front "yard". You have to use the path designated by the neighborhood as we were reminded by a "welcome" card taped to our door from the neighbor who politely asked us to not cross in front of their porch or leave our outside light on all night long as it shined into their bedroom. Also, while I understand keeping costs down and profits high, extra trash bags and laundry pods in the starter kit would have been a nice touch considering the rental price. Finally, the living room furniture was not fit for lounging, and we opted to watch the smaller tv in the bedroom because you could not stretch out comfortably. I normally don't give negative feedback but was a bit disappointed considering that the was the most I have ever paid for a VRBO and expected a top-notch experience. It is in a very beautiful area and the property manager was very accommodating. Also the rental had a wagon, chairs and an umbrella for use at the beach which was nice!

Wonderful location

We love SurfCrest Village and have stayed in this community several times throughout the years. This house is nicely situated so close to the beach you can hear the waves from the porch. The house is comfortable and we especially enjoyed the huge California King bed in the master. The listing makes it clear that the hosts provide only a starter kit of household goods and please be advised that is 100% accurate! (1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom, 1 trashbag for kitchen etc) so be prepared to buy some when you arrive to last your stay. Tvs in bedrooms small. Front door unlocking is a little tricky and the metal gets so hot in sun you practically need gloves or will be burnt. Host allowed an early check in and overall I highly recommend this house and hosts!

Great place for cozy getaway

Cottage was clean. All the amenities you would expect. Easy access to local beach and the restaurants and other activities in St. Augustine. Patio was great for relaxing and listening to the crash of the ocean waves. Would certainly stay at this property if we are in the area in the future.

Nice house but it was not asclean as we we would have liked.

House location was nice. House had hair in the bathroom floor. The comode was not clean. House had a musty smell. Air was not working when we got there but the manager was great getting someone there to fix it. Probably would not stay there again

Grandma’s cottage, cute community, great location

The cottage is cute and has so much potential but is in desperate need of love and care. Seemed like no one had been in it for a while- stagnant air/odor. Old mismatched furniture pieces and decor. Older kitchenware and electronics (couldn’t remember how to work DirectTV, lol). Back doors VERY hard to open and landscaping was overran. Location is great! Quiet community with pool (except for the lady in the parking lot that stood and stared at us with her hands on her hips while we unloaded and the neighbors leaving a note on the door with “neighbor considerate” instructions). Beach is right over dune with community only access in and out of boardwalk. Short drive to “city” amenities. Nothing too crazy to stop our girls weekend and would love to see this place updated like it’s neighbors have done.
