Wonderful location
We wanted a home close to the beach for 8 adults and 1 child and 3 senior dogs. A fenced in yard was a priority. Sunshine Dream has a heated pool which even with the chilly temperatures my Granddaughter went swimming. There is a fire pit which we enjoyed. The home is very spacious and offers two levels of living space. We enjoyed our stay and enjoyed our New Year’s in St. Augustine. The hosts are very accommodating and acted quickly to resolve a small issue.

We had a wonderful time staying here. Even thought the weather didnt cooperate most if the time, we so enjoyed sitting out on the deck watching the surf, and was there surf!!! One of the best features, was that you get both, the sunrises and the sunsets! The house had everything we needed and we all (spouse, FIL n best friend) really loved the house. We also enjoyed watching all the wildlife (birds and large turtle). It was a great week!

This was a nice place to stay. It was very close to an excellent beach. The only drawback was the spiral wood staircase to get to the second floor. It proved to be a navigation challenge for the older folks in our family, the dog, and anyone carrying luggage or groceries to the second floor. Otherwise, we couldn't have asked for better.

Great location
My family of 11 just spent a week here & it was great. Very spacious for all of us. The location is great to the beach & it was like we had our own private beach. The house was nice. It could use some new chairs in the dining room. Pretty wobbly. The ice maker in the fridge didn’t dispense the ice. Otherwise we loved it. Would definitely go back.

Great place to stay away from town!
The location of this place was amazing. Very quiet and away from the crowds. There is a very nice quiet beach just across the street! Also the convenience of the private pool was also amazing! There is also a ton of room in the house for multiple families to enjoy. We will definitely look at booking again in the future.
