Overall, this place was totally adequate. In a condo complex and a short walk to the beach, which was beautiful. One of of the group was bothered by a musty smell. The sheets on the bed they smell strongly of bleach. We didn’t try to walk anywhere, but lots to do within a short drive. We stayed for four nights and it’s the only place I have ever rented that had a “starter supply of toilet paper“. Toilet paper is cheap and it seems like having extra on hand is not too much to ask. Overall, it gets average reviews from the three of us.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re pleased to hear that you enjoyed the beautiful location and proximity to the beach at Island Palms Retreat. We apologize for the musty smell that some in your group noticed, and we'll definitely look into this issue along with the scent of bleach on the sheets to ensure a more pleasant experience. We're sorry for any inconvenience caused by the limited toilet paper supply, and we appreciate your suggestion. Your comfort is important to us, and we hope to provide a more seamless visit next time.

Great Location - Beach and Pool

Had a very enjoyable time. The property is located conveniently to St. Augustine. It was great having a family oriented pool available and also having beach access to the Atlantic. We had other family members who live in side the intercoastal, we were 10 minutes from their home with the bridge crossing about 1/2 mile away. Would recommend to any visiting the area (visit included me, my wife, and adult daughter).
