Great condo, loved our stay

This was a really great condo in a wonderful location. My family and I have been staying at Sea Place every year, and this is, hands down, my favorite condo we've rented. The owner is very kind and helpful and made sure we were comfortable during our stay. We will definitely be renting this condo again in the future!

Family Vacation

My family has been going to St Augustine and staying in Sea Place since 1999. This is one of the best condos we have stayed in- the updated kitchen provided a perfect amount of space for us to host our group (23) people for dinner and then we all spread out throughout the condo and the one next door to eat together. Jonathan was a wonderful host, we will definitely book this condo again!

Exactly what we were looking for

Heron's Nest was the perfect place for our getaway. Close to St. Augustine and a quiet location on a beautiful beach. The unit is clean and updated and included some nice extra touches including a welcome basket and toiletries. Jonathan, the owner checked in with us when we arrived and was available and responsive from the moment we made our reservation right up until check out. I highly recommend a stay at Heron's Nest!

awesome

I appreciated that the condo was convenient to beach-a small community and not overly crowded-convenient to St Augustine and close to attractions. the unit itself was updated, clean, and large to accommodate a family of four. I appreciated the updates and conveniences offered by the owner. great experience and would rent again.

Excellent Extended Getaway

We loved staying at this property for a much needed 10 day vacation. All communication upfront was detailed and accurate. Jonathan was responsive and checked in on us during our stay to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The property is just a short walk to the beach which is ideal with young children. There were plenty of supplies in the condo for our use. It has been recently updated and everything is in working order. We hope to come back to one of our favorite beaches soon!

This is a lovely ground floor condo. It is so convenient to walk out the door, walk past the pool, and down a short board walk to the ocean. There are life guards a short distance done the beach, if you are a bit uneasy about the water. We appreciated the umbrellas, beach chairs and beach towels provided.There are grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and attractions close by. My grandson loved the Alligator Farm which is a nice zoo. It is a small condo complex and was quiet. We will return!
