Very nice!

We enjoyed our time at this condo. It was clean, well stocked and very quiet. Beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed. Short walk to the beach and the pool was also close and well maintained. I had messaged the owner a question and she responded right away.

Beautiful beach access

Dori has an excellent property that is just a short walk from a very non-crowded area of St Augustine Beach. The unit is clean, spacious and perfect for our stay. Kitchen is stocked with all the necessities and beautifully decorated throughout. King bed is very comfortable and we enjoyed several meals sitting around the dining table. Directions are meticulous the complex was filled with welcoming locals and travelers the same. Definitely recommend this place and will stay again!! Thanks Dori!!

It was nice not exceptional

Our stay was nice, adequate. It was very clean. Beds were comfortable. The main bathroom and kitchen were a bit dated. There was no handsoap which I think is a basic. We had to run out and get some, especially now with Covid and frequent handwashing. Dish soap was at a minimum for day to day which we also bought just in case. Not enough throws to watch tv at night for coziness. No where to place suitcases like a rack or dresser. It's just the little things that would've made our stay a little more comfortable. But very quiet. Nice to sleep in. Not a beachfront property like we thought, it's beachside, you can't see the water. Overall good.
