St. Augustine 30th Anniversary Celebration

We enjoyed our stay very much! The location was perfect. Our dog, Chloe, had the best time going to the beach. The cottage was very well appointed with toiletries and kitchen accessories. We loved having access to the pool and we enjoyed an afternoon of putt-putt. We would love to stay here again.

Gem of a place!

5-stars all around! The cutest accommodation, an unbeatable location just steps to the beach & restaurants, clean, spacious and stocked with everything you could possibly need. A bonus was the access to the nearby swimming pool, and the pet-friendly setting! Lovely hosts as well!! My new favorite at SAB!!

Perfect little get away

Loved this perfectly decorated and immaculately clean duplex. Walking to beach was quick and a hose on side of house was available to wash off the sand. Didn’t notice the beach chairs until we looked into the little building out back that holds the washer/dryer but would have been nice to use. Not a thing wrong with the accommodations. It was a annoying to have to go around the corner to check in at the hotel as we had endured terrible traffic coming down 95 and were late getting in. Wished the code had just been texted or emailed day of instead of making a separate stop. The lady at La Fiesta desk was sweet and welcoming and gave us a packet that could easily have just been left in the unit. The owner, Lauren introduced herself the next day. She lives across the street so is close for any problems but we didn’t have any.

Walk To The Beach

Perfect get-a-way for 2... literally a 1 minute walk to the beach with no road to cross... Miles of beach in both directions for long, relaxing walks... pet friendly duplex with everything we needed (including a Keurig machine!)... a 5 minute walk to a couple of restaurants (Mango Mango's & Beachcomber's both had a great vibe)... this was our 2nd stay at this duplex and we will be back again next year...

What a beautiful property on beautiful St. Augustine beach!! Easy walk to the beach, to several restaurants, and to morning coffee!! Only 15 minutes to historic downtown St. Augustine and all that it has to offer. Owners were so kind and left such easy instructions and lots of coupons and information about things to do. We had the best time!!

Adorable beach house

Visited St Augustine with my husband, and this beach house was perfect! It had all of the amenities we needed and was a short walk to the beach. There were lots of places to eat within walking distance and the grocery store was super close. The owners were amazing and created such a beautiful, romantic vacation spot. I highly recommend this beach house for your vacation.

Beautiful beach cottage

My husband and I loved our stay at Rich's place in St. Augustine Beach. Just a short stroll through the dunes and we were on this beautiful and endless beach, where the water is cool, the waves are great, and the people-watching is spectacular! We spent a full 2 weeks and couldn't have been more comfortable in this perfect-size bungalow with great amenities. Rich and his wife were friendly and accessible and we often stopped to talk when out strolling to the beach or around the neighborhood. The neighborhood is fantastic with shopping and great restaurants within walking distance. Shout outs to the Beachcomber for beachside dining, Sunset Grille for incredible meals, A1A Beachside Diner for tasty brunches, and Island Donuts for the most delicious doughnuts. And then you have the city of St. Augustine close by that offers even more of everything! I can't wait to return to this little gem of a house and dig my toes into the sand once again. Thank you, Rich, for offering such a wonderful beach getaway cottage.

Wonderful Beach Cottage

This property is absolutely charming, and it’s a great space in a quiet neighborhood. My only feedback to the owner is to think about updating their couch and bed coverings. I would also recommend that the towels that are provide are washed the day before your guests arrivalto avoid having musty smelling towels.

Great location and exactly as described

This was a perfect location for us, steps from the beach walkway and on a quiet dead end street. All the necessary supplies are there (extras of each so you don't have to scramble to replace) but if you plan on cooking, bring your food/condiment supplies. Those are not there. Laundry is easy to do on the property and the outside back deck is really nice too. You can't see the ocean but you can hear it from the deck! The tv has DirecTV but if you want streaming services, bring an hd cable to connect tv to your computer. Excellent place to stay, highly recommend the place and the very friendly owners who live across the street as well.

Wonderful stay

Pros- Property was very clean and neat, easy walk down to beach. Owners were nice, very interactive and accommodating as we had specific needs and were granted. Restaurants nearby relaxed atmosphere dining. Would definitely stay again without hesitation. Cons- if it matters, the town shuts down kinda early so if you plan on late night out dining/drinking can be difficult to find. This was only a problem as we did not arrive until 7pm. If this is not a problem then there are no cons.
