The rooms were clean but a deep clean is needed. The property management company was very responsive to fixing a light outside so that it was not dark when leaving/entering the house at night. They also had pest service come out to spray for ants inside the room that goes out to the pool.I would recommend that the host do a walk through and determine how much time is needed so as to fix and freshen up this house that has some potential but is not currently at a "premier" level.There is a large crack in the pool deck so the ladder that was once fastened down is now very wobbly. Pool guy comes on Thursday so by Saturday (check in) there's leaves all in the bottom. We never used the pool.

4 star rating given because property not perfect. Home is older but was clean.Adequate number of bath towels and washcloths. Beach towels provided as well. Having a starter kit was nice. Kitchen well stocked,could use a couple dish cloths and Kitchen sink water pressure was low but management very receptive to concerns and responsive. Despite the rain, we were able to use and enjoy the pool. Again, pool decking and pool coping is older and could use some attention. Home is in a great location. It was also very nice to have tickets to some attractions. Enjoyed our stay.

Our whole family enjoyed staying at this house over Thanksgiving and exploring all that St. Augustine has to offer. The free tickets to local attractions were a nice added bonus and saved us some . We especially loved taking a Trolley ride around the town and visiting the Alligator farm. We hosted Thanksgiving with some other family members and needed more silverware for everyone. When I mentioned needing more silverware and also that the cookware was scratched and flaking off, the owner had a new set of cookware and utensils brought to the house for us. We really appreciated that! We also loved using the pool and the fire pit. We would definitely stay there again if we return to the area.

Great place

My family and i stayed here for a quick vacation. The property is within 5 miles of every place we wanted to visit, grocery store and restaurants. Downtown St augustine can be dificult to find parking and that was the only downside to where we stayed since we couldnt walk there. However we were able to bring our dog and we could go swimming when it got too hot

Fun Family Getaway in St. Augustine

Our family made the most of our vacation in St. Augustine. The location was convenient for our stay, and the neighborhood was very nice. We were a short drive from all of our local adventures and grocery shopping. The check-in process was easy and the host was very responsive and attentive to our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed the heated pool as the weather was a little chillier than forecasted. I was disappointed in the accuracy of the listing, therefore only a 3 star rating. This house is not 5 bedrooms (only 4) and the walls are mostly a dull gray color. The listing shows different colors than the walls are actually painted. The other issue we encountered was the cleanliness of the dishes and utensils. We washed everything by hand before using it as the dishes and utensils did not appear to be clean. The dishwasher could be the culprit; we ran it once and the dishwasher pod never even opened. All in all, we made lots of memories here but there is definitely room for improvement.

Comfortable getaway

The house felt very home-like. I over packed out of worry that I wouldn't have something that I needed. It wasn't necessary. The grill in the pictures has been updated with a larger 4 burner grill. Plenty of dishware. Lots of towels. My only complaint is that I wished there were bigger pans for the stove and sharper knives, albeit, it was hardly any hindrance. The pool was clean and the kids enjoyed that it was heated. Plenty of space in the kitchen and living room. There are a few parks just down Shore Drive to look at the river and wildlife. It was a short drive to the beach. If I come back to Saint Augustine, I will definitely book this house again.

Website photos inaccurate

The photos on the website turned out to be a false representation of the actual property. They show bright beach color rooms & decor, it’s now dull grays. We chose this property for the heated pool which was in poor condition: decking was cracked, the vinyl liner had detached in 2 areas & looked old in need of replacement. No steps just pool ladders whose rungs were slimy and slippery, we slipped off & fell into the pool. Luckily only a bruised shin and stubbed toe. Getting out was unsafe as well so we didn’t use it again. There’s mold behind the kitchen faucet as well as in the master bath. Master bath door to the pool is filthy, as well as having a gap that allows bugs to crawl in. The master shower head is not handheld. Many of the floors have noticeable dips or slant downward as you walk. Overstuffed comfortable chair has been replaced by 2 uncomfortable old chairs that were so filthy we weren’t inclined to sit in them. The cover on the couch needs mending since it’s torn. Overall a poorly maintained property & considering fees charged for cleaning shouldn’t be dirty chairs, doors & windows. The house needs an overhaul/major repairs that a new coat of paint doesn’t fix or hide. It is not a quiet property, it’s so close to US1 that the roar of speeding cars and semis can be heard constantly! This property was not worth what we paid and we will definitely not be back.

nice little home for fam vacay

the property was good for our family vacation. the only thing that I think should be specified is that the pool does not have steps to get in, only two ladders which made it a bit hard to get in the pool with my little ones. Unfortunately the renter before us decided to throw some dog food in the back lawn so we were not able to let my pups run in the yard freely but other than that the stay was great and everyone had a great time

Great Getaway

We had all of our adult children and our furry child with us...it was a very homey and comfortable experience. We definitely had everything we needed. The discount tickets for experiences around town was wonderful! Our only issue was that the house was on a fairly busy road with no sidewalks which made it difficult to walk the dog. We just took him a block over, and we were away from the traffic. Great experience!
