This property was a great size and a very comfortable home. There were a few things that weren't working including the ice maker. The beds are okay but some of the mattresses are not very comfortable. A couple of doors weren't properly working and the blinds to the sliding doors were difficult to open. The ocean view is only a small sliver but the private beach access is very convenient. The surrounding homes were quiet and very neighborly. There were also several places that were within walking distance. Be sure to pack some extra paper products, (paper towels and toilet paper). The outdoor furniture definitely needs to be upgraded. It's a little old and kind of itchy on your skin after sitting on it. Overall, its a good but not great home to spend vacation for 7 days.

This is a good basic beach stay— nothing fancy but has everything you need for enjoying St. Augustine. We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, the pool, the cleanliness of the condo and how close it was to fun stuff on Anastasia. Plenty of supplies to cook with. Furniture was very basic so don’t expect luxury but we had what we needed besides extra dinner chairs. Overall a pretty nice place to stay.

The property was nice. All the amenities were there. I wish it really had the ocean view but it was located in the middle of a parking lot. I would stay there again though.

Great area, close to everything we needed. Amenities were great. Only downside a hand width view of the ocean between houses is a stretch for ocean view and the cutlery was rusty probably time to replace. Overall I would recommend and stay again.

We enjoyed our stay.

The house was nice overall. The location was great. The beds really need new mattresses, we had to buy a blow up for 2 staying in 4th room due to bed. A few kitchen utensils were not there (can opener, I had to use a knife).

Wonderful vacation spot!

A beach house should not be like staying at the Hilton- so those bad reviews were from people who do not understand beach life! We had a great time. Walked the beach everyday, cooked a fantastic turkey dinner for Thanksgiving and dogs loved it too! Note to manager: the wine bottle opener was broke when we arrived - you probably did not know.

Very nice

Nice place close to pool and beach. The only complaint I have is we had 8 people . Only 7 towels and rags. Need to give at least 2 per person we don’t want to spend time washing everyday. At least 2 for a week would be great.

Thrift store furnishings

Here is what you need to know about this house based on our experienceThe pass code I got to check in didn’t workGetting an actual person on the phone and getting the correct code took 45 minutes. The mattresses/beds are ancient and uncomfortable making it difficult to get a good night of sleep The 4th bedroom does not have 3 twin beds in it. It has one bed (which fell apart while my sister-in-law was in it) and an old mattress tucked underneath.There are no linens for the mattress tucked underneath the bed, so an unhappy tween may have to sleep on a bare mattress on the floor the first night before they bring sheets.The kitchen has all low-end appliances, e.g. no light in the refrigerator. The pans have burnt on food and the dishes are gritty The description says that the house accommodates 8 but we had to use three chairs from the living room to all be able to sit at the table.There is an outside faucet to wash sandy feetThey are incredibly stingy on supplies – 6 towels, 6 hand towels and 6 face cloths. (no dish towel, no sponge, 1 garbage bag in the bin, a half roll of TP per bath, etc. for 7 people). We got more towels the next day.The sliding glass doors do not slide easily.The ocean is close and the sound of the waves are audible.The upstairs shower doesn’t get water hot enough to take a shower The furnishings look like they came from a yard sale, complete with the dresser draw with a big hole in it, the tear in the sofa and the stained bed spread

Interior furnishing needs SERIOUS updating

First-the 3rd party company was VERY nice, and this review does not reflect towards them. Cathy was a wonderful rep. Pros 1. neighborhood is beautiful, QUIET, and very well kept! 2. Great area w/many restaurants/shopping/beach access. 3-Upstairs WHITE bedroom was nicest/comfortable bed/styllish Cons 1-interior furnishings are stuck in the 80s and 90s, and we felt like we were staying at Grandma's house. 2-First of all, the downstairs couch-Yikes, was this a leftover orig piece? It looked like it was found used-this looked AGED with yrs of wear/tear/stains. 3-Master bed-NOT a comfortable bed-you will be tossing/turning on it. 99% of all rentals we have stayed at now have foam beds, so this vintage box spring (with NO additional topper or something) boinged w/every toss. 4. The furniture in this whole room, was DEF someone's leftover. Many rentals today have new and a styled pieces to keep up with updated rentals. 5. The laundry room "bedroom" OMG NO-we would not let anyone we like use that bed!! It should not be even suggested. It is a really old, unsupportive, box spring set. We never used, but to fold laundry on. And, PLEASE get rid of the gross "throw pillows" on the bed! 6. Twin beds-serious upgrade needed. Very outdated. 7. We understand this is self start unit-but PLS leave at least 2 extra trash bags. Every rental always leaves at least an extra. I did not think to buy when I was getting other items.
