Seriously can’t rave more about this place. It is located in the cutest (and very safe feeling!) little beach neighborhood with some honestly gorgeous homes. The property looks exactly like the listing. There were three very clean bedrooms upstairs with two bathrooms, and one bedroom downstairs also with a full bath. The property outback was very well kept and the pool was great. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans. The cleaning crew did a great job making sure the house was spotless before we arrived. There are two VRBO houses on either side of this property which were also hosting guests and utilizing their respective pools, which was nice as everyone was friendly and having a good time. Highly recommend! I will absolutely stay here again.

Why they chose this property

Its a unique blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. The city's rich history, dating back to 1565, is evident in its architecture, museums, and cultural vibrancy, making it a fascinating destination for those interested in American and Spanish colonial history. Additionally, its 42 miles of stunning Atlantic beaches offer a variety of recreational activities, from surfing to relaxing by the sea, appealing to beach lovers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.

The presence of highly-rated schools in the area is a significant advantage for families considering a longer stay or even relocation. Anastasia Island, with its tranquil setting and beautiful beaches, adds an exclusive touch to the vacation experience. The thriving art and cultural scene in St. Augustine, with its galleries, music, and restaurants, ensures that there is always something new and exciting to explore.

Lastly, its proximity to Jacksonville, a bustling city with a strong job market and numerous entertainment options, makes St. Augustine an ideal location for those who wish to enjoy a peaceful retreat while still being close to a metropolitan area. All these factors combined make St. Augustine an attractive and versatile destination for a vacation rental.
