Beach amazing. Kitchen well stocked. Good amount of beach equipment (chairs, boogey boards, etc). Great porches. I want to go back.

A slice of heaven

Such a great place to stay! My family thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend here (and weren’t ready to leave)! House has everything you need, beach is secluded, each room has a balcony. Lots of stairs, but worth it. It rained one day and we found lots of games to play inside. Just book it- you won’t regret it.

Wonderful house with beautiful deserted beach.

This is a beautiful house, fully equipped and nice decor. The views from this house of the ocean and the river are incredible. They have a game room and lots of games and toys. Very few people on the beach and most days we saw none.

Perfect Get-a-Way

Amazing beach side location along old A1A. Just a few flip-flop steps away to toes in the sand. Very private beach! If watching dolphins & listening to the soothing sounds of the ocean is balm for your soul - then Buddy's Beach House is the place for you! Great location between Flagler Beach and St. Augustine! House has everything you need. Just drop your luggage & grab a balcony seat and a beverage. You'll feel your cares just melt away!

Stunning views

You cannot beat this location! STUNNING VIEWS! This is as close to the beach as you can get. Even while sitting on the patio you feel like you are on the beach. Only con for some ppl could be that there is a lot of steps so not good for elderly or handicapped but for anyone okay with going up several flights of stairs this is a great house! Low water pressure as well but we were okay with it. The pros far outweighed any cons which were hardly any. We are so in love with this house and hope to come back again! Noticed it was up for sale which is a shame bc we are dying to stay there next year. Love love love!! Oh and grocery store was only like 8 minutes away (Publix).

You won’t be disappointed.

I haven’t rented from VRBO before so this was my first experience. The description and pictures are very accurate but not near as beautiful as looking at the ocean in person. The ocean is just a few steps away and we loved the morning walks with our furry companion as we also hunted for some great shells to commemorate our trip. When not on the beach, it was amazing to be able to sit on the couch and watch the ocean when it was just too hot to be outside. The house was clean and inviting as we arrived and Lauren was great and responded to any questions very quickly. Even on the weekend or what most would consider after hours. My family enjoyed it very much and would be thrilled to go back again. Have I said how beautiful the views are? If you are looking to rent a family and pet friendly place with the ability to enjoy some family time or have their own quiet time, then this place is for you! You won’t be disappointed.
