Had a great time in St. Augustine. The house was just as described and was very clean! The walk to the beach was great and we enjoyed sitting on the deck looking at the ocean! Our dogs felt at home also. Only recommendation is to maybe have a little bit of Tupperware to help with leftovers - but overall the house was great and very comfortable!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the house, the ocean views from the deck, and that your dogs felt right at home too! Thank you for the helpful suggestion about adding some Tupperware we’ll definitely look into that. We’d love to host you again for another great stay! 😊
We loved how close the house is to the beach--short walk without having to cross A1A. The neighborhood is quiet and close to places to eat and things to do in downtown St. Augustine. Kids especially loved the bunk beds. Lauren was very helpful and communicative. All around great place to stay!

Thank you so much for the review! I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed the property and its convenient location near the beach. It sounds like the porch was the perfect spot to soak in those beautiful sunrises! ☀️ I'm glad you had a wonderful time, and I hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a lovely time at the house. It was clean, quiet, and well stocked with essentials. Lauren was a pleasure to communicate with and we will definitely be back!
While the weather was very uncooperative for half of our stay, the Turtles Nest was an extremely nice house to stay in. It is located only a few minutes from the beach (which is primarily empty in January) and also convenient to local restaurants and historic downtown. The house is very roomy and kitchen very up-to-date with nice appliances and cooking utensils Neighborhood is very quiet and everyone was extremely nice that we met. Highly recommend this house and will definitely stay there again for future St. Augustine visits.

Thank you for your wonderful review! 😊 We're so glad you enjoyed The Turtle’s Nest, even with the unpredictable weather. The peaceful neighborhood, convenient location, and well-equipped kitchen make it a great spot to relax. We'd love to host you again for future St. Augustine visits!
Turtle's Nest is a lovely beach house in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to the beach. The walking path to the beach is practically right out the front door and the driving access ramp is only two blocks away. The home is in a perfect location, close to all the amenities and attractions the St. Augustine area has to offer. The home is clean, spacious and comfortable, with an open layout and a large patio where you can hear the waves crashing on the beach. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and the washer/dryer is great for longer stays. Lauren is an excellent host, her communication is prompt and check-in/check-out process is very easy. We had a very relaxing stay at Turtle's Nest and hope to return soon.

It was a girls weekend to celebrate my daughter's 17th birthday. The house was beautiful and just a short walk to the beach.

Thank you! We are so happy that you had a great girl's trip for your daughter's birthday! We love that you enjoyed the short walks to the beach, we hope to have you again!
This was our first time in St Augustine. It was an amazing home base for our vacation. Located just a block off the beach, this home was clean and comfortable. We were able to find great places to eat along A1A beachside and avoid the craziness in downtown St Augustine this time of year. Hot tub was clean and is covered so you can use it rain or shine. Plenty of seating. We were able to connect to our favorite streaming services in the living room. Wish we could have in the bedroom too but definitely not the end of the world. Also, you may want to get plastic cups for drinks by the hot tub. Everything was glass. Lauren was very easy to reach and communicated everything we needed to know. If we are ever in the area again, we would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! I'm so glad our home was a comfortable base for your first trip to St. Augustine and that you enjoyed the hot tub, beachside location, and local dining. I'd love to welcome you back anytime!
10/10! We had a wonderful time! The beach was easily accessible and you could tell the home was newly remodeled, as everything in the house was clean and in great condition. It was probably a 2 minute walk from the door to the beach. Lots of space for our family of 4 and doggie. We will definitely return. Thanks for a great spring break in Florida!

So glad to hear you had a fantastic stay, Iva!🌟It sounds like the perfect spring break getaway for your family and doggie. We look forward to welcoming you back for another wonderful stay in the future!
We wanted to get out of the cold in NY for a few weeks. The VRBO process of scouting locations and properties was easy and filters allowed for us to narrow in on what we wanted. We found the perfect location near the beach -- dog friendly both in the house and on the beach, near St. Augustine but in a quiet beach neighborhood. The host was quick to respond to questions and check in was seamless. The house was spotless inside and provided all the needs we had. We had about a 3 minute walk to the beach and we walked every day -- sometimes twice a day. We lucked out on the weather which was in the mid-70s many days and only one day of rain. Overall great place and thanks to Lauren our host.

Thank you for your wonderful review! We're so happy you found the perfect spot to escape the NY cold and enjoy some sunshine! It’s great to hear the location, cleanliness, and dog-friendly setup made for a seamless and enjoyable stay. Daily beach walks sound like the perfect way to unwind! We'd love to host you again anytime. Safe travels!
Turtle's Nest is a wonderful beach house in a quiet neighbor, just steps away from the beach. The home is comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated with a coastal vibe. If you like to do your own cooking, the spacious kitchen has everything you need. Plenty of cookware, plates, glasses, utensils. All of the bedrooms have plenty of extra pillows and blankets and there is ample closet space for storage. The best part of the home is the covered patio that faces the ocean. It's the perfect place for morning coffee or afternoon cocktails after a day at the beach. The only issue we had was that the two car garage, while super neat and clean, had items stored along the sides of the walls, making it impossible for us to park our vehicle inside. Overall, Turtle's Nest is a great beach house. Lauren is a wonderful host and we will definitely come back for another great beach vacation!
