My brother and I flew in from out of state to spend a week with our elderly Mom. This house provided the perfect amenities that we needed to make her stay very comfortable, and we all had a great time at the beach house. The back deck is amazing.

Wonderfully peaceful!

Everything was perfect- and we had everything we could need. The fenced yard was so nice for our pup who was able to travel with us. Close and quiet to the beach within a short peaceful walk. Friendly quiet and safe area. It was just what we needed! Thank you for hosting us in you’re wonderful home!

Nice location close to beach in quiet neighborhood close to town. Not great experience getting in late at night after long flight. The owner waits until last to give us code to get in and doesn't respond quickly.

My last daughter turned 18!

What a perfect spot for a family weekend. I have lived in the area all my life. This is a classic beach home close to everything and what a great deck and back yard. The home is clean and fully equipped and no issues from any stand point. Thank you!

Review of our stay from my party

Not pleased with the cleanliness of the place. Hair found in showers especially one, orange peel found underneath the refrigerator where it was visible, hair on some of the decorative pillows in the bedroom, pressure of the showerheads bad and hot water took forever, front area of home not what I expected & TV situation not good. But it was spacious, plenty of room for eating inside Great spacious backyard for our dog and enjoyed the deck area and the closeness to beach abs to Saint Augustine downtown area
