We booked this house very last minute. Everything could not be more perfect. Julie the host was super friendly and responsive from the booking to a basic question about the property when we arrived. The location was perfect and the house and property were spotless. The beach is beautiful and just steps away. Plenty of food options within an easy walk and many others a short beautiful drive away. Our pup settled in just as quickly as we did. Would highly recommend this rental and we are already planning our next booking here for next year.

Adding my 2 cents and 10 stars . . .

I can only join with other renters and sing the praises for this precious Blue Beach Bungalow! It’s clean, convenient, comfortable, cute, cozy . . . I could continue. The owner, Julie, was very prompt at communicating when I had a question. A bonus for me was the well equipped kitchen— that is always something I appreciate because our family loves to cook when we are together! Added Bonus: Our little Yorkie, Lily, loved the fenced yard! I loved that every space under the fence was obviously carefully closed so a small dog could not escape to go to the beach on their own!

Close walk to beach and restaurants. Nicely size rooms and back yard. So nice that plenty of everything was available to use - beach chairs, umbrellas etc. Kitchen was well stocked with everything.St Augaustine was sooooo clean, beach is the best! The flags for crossing the street are helpful and very thoughtful. We really enjoyed biking on the hard packed beach. The house has bikes to use but we brought our own.Would definitely return or recommend this house to freinds.

PERFECT LOCATION

We enjoyed our time at the bungalow the location is perfect the beach is a short walking distance as well as restaurants and shops. The bungalow was as charming as it was listed. The garage was supplied with everything you could need for a day at the beach. The fenced in backyard was a plus for us since we were traveling with small dogs. Julie has thought of everything for a perfect stay. The only downside for me was the backyard was not as manicured as the listed pictures, but definitely nothing stopping me from staying again.

Fantastic Location

Mimi's place is in a fantastic location. A short walk in either direction gets you to breakfast, coffee, doughnuts, icecream, sandwiches, dinner, dessert and the beach! The house was the perfect size for the 4 of us (me, my wife, our 18 and 16 year olds). We had everything we needed to cook and the walk to the beach took us less than 5 minutes. The updated colors, fixtures, and furniture in the house made it feel upscale and comfortable. Our kids also loved having access to the bikes. I can't say enough nice things about Mimi's house.

Perfect Stay

I gifted this trip to my son, his wife and 1 year old grandson for their first family vacation. Julie was such a pleasure to work with. She made everything so easy even an early check in. The house was cute, cozy and comfortable with everything they needed including beach day gear! You can see the beach from the driveway and it is a very short easy walk away. All the attractions were close enough convenient yet far enough way that it stayed peaceful and quiet They loved to hang out in the backyard, grill dinner and take in the salty night air. They had the most wonderful time and we will definitely be booking again. We love St. Augustine and if your planning to visit this is a perfect location to enjoy all that this beautiful town has to offer. Thank you so much Julie!

Blue Beach Bungalow

My wife and I stayed here for the second time with our little dog. We love this place. It feels like new and is neat as a pin. The location, being one block from the beach, is excellent. There are numerous restaurants and an ice cream shop within walking distance. The house is not overly large, but the layout is perfect with one bedroom having an attached bathroom and the other bedroom located next to the hall bathroom. Both bathrooms are very nice. The attached bath has double sinks. There is a separate dining area as well. The kitchen has a little bar area which opens up to the family room. Two couples would be comfortable here if the double beds would work. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us and our dog. Our hostess Julie is great. It's obvious she takes a lot of pride in this home. We highly recommend it.

Excellent. Easy, Effortless Stay with Prime Location

The host, Julie, was beyond accommodating and transparent, and her vacation rental was as described. The house was clean, nicely decorated, and had everything you needed at the tips of your fingers. Each room was spacious, including the two bathrooms (very large in size for guests). The backyard had plenty of seating and was fully fenced, which was great for my brother's dog to come visit. The location was PRIME! The neighborhood was decent and safe for walking. The beach was easy to access across A1A, and while exploring Beachside Avenue, there were many coffee shops, breakfast places, ice cream, groceries, fine dining, and seafood restaurants. We enjoyed Kookaburra coffee, Coneheads, and Burrito Works, just to name a few. The AC worked awesomely, with lots of bedding and a comfortable bed. The spare bedroom had twin-size beds, and the kitchen was well stocked with even made-in-the-USA pans to cook, which is essential to us so that we do not have chemicals or toxic kitchenware. Also, the home was not full of heavy perfume smells covering up any odors, and no mold was detected, as some beach homes are older and have passed flood damage. Overall, it is an excellent rental with a professional host, and we would return without hesitation. THANK YOU, Julie, for a memorable trip that was made easy! Melissa & Hector
