St Augustine house

I really enjoyed the house. The big deck had to be my favorite part. It had a great view of the ocean and plenty of room for a family of 11. The only part I would have changed is that I wish it had beach access. The ocean was so close, but there was no direct access on our street. A construction crew was working on the street, and it looks like at one point, they might make access to the beach.

Great big house!!!!

This house was awesome as far as room for us. The game room was great for the kids to hang out and play. Pool and back yard was awesome for hanging out and chilling after spending the day at the beach. Only down fall is we had young kids and beach access right at the house wasn’t accessible because of construction. There was a public beach access A couple miles down the road. So we packed lunches and loaded up each day. With young kids having beach access at the house is nice for back and forth (with napping), but if you have mostly adults or older kids this house is great! Would return down the road when all the kids are older. Definitely recommend staying here. Property manager was easy to deal with and great communication!

Amazing Experience!

I highly recommend this property!!! It is large and spacious. We hosted Thanksgiving lunch with my extended family of 32 and never felt crowded!! The game room downstairs was great for the teeenagers. The adults enjoyed the front porch with a great view of the ocean! The younger kids and the dog enjoyed the fenced in backyard. The kitchen was well stocked and everything was clean and up to date! All the beds were very comfortable. We will definitely be renting this house again!

Excellent House for a truly wonderful wedding week.

The house is exactly as advertised, but even bigger in person. Location is fantastic if you love the sound of the ocean and enjoy the ocean breeze. I really can not overstate how much I enjoyed the location and that magnificent front deck. The inside of the house was clean and beautifully decorated. Kitchen exceeded our needs, bedrooms were nice, and the beds were comfy. Only bathroom complaint is low water pressure. We were able to comfortably host 20 people upstairs after our wedding, in case you're wondering if the house can accommodate a group for a few hours. It was an excellent house for a truly wonderful wedding week.

We enjoyed our stay here & were pleased with the responsiveness of the owners. It was just big enough for us & they allowed us to bring our 2 dogs which are more like family than a pet.

Old A1A Beach House

The house does have some age but is in good shape. Nice view of the Ocean from the front deck. Access to the beach is not directly across the street as expected in the pictures. Beach access is a short ride across the A1A bridge but walking would take a few minutes especially with beach gear. Although the kitchen was fairly stocked with pots and pans we were disappointing a large seafood steamer was not available for fresh seafood. A smaller pot was used in shifts to make do. We had a issue with the garbage disposal that was corrected a few days after we called. I was disappointed with the response time. Overall it was a good family vacation. Could have been better but some things were out of our control, like the weather.

Family gathering

We enjoyed the stay. The house and ocean view was very pleasant. The layout worked well for our group. The beach access was not the greatest at high tide, but the recent storms have been hard on the Florida coast. The cookware is getting a little worn and a new can opener might be a good idea. We had a great visit. Thanks for the nice weekend.
