Very comfortable for two people, great location close to historic downtown, restaurants, grocery, and just steps to the beach. The cottage was a fantastic alternative to a small hotel room for about the same price.
All new appliances, countertops, entire place looks new. Great layout. Quite neighborhood. Close to beach and restaurants. Really, really enjoyable place to stay.
Place was great! Perfect quiet location beach side of A1A. Would i rent again yes. The only slight annoyance was when checking in at noon, was told it wasn't ready they were cleaning the space, however when i then stated i paid extra for a noon check in clerk called someone and then said we could check in now???other than that would i rent again? Yes i would
We loved the small cottage just big enough for my wife and I and our dog,closeness to the beach is what we were after and we got it.Great hosts accommodating always answered our questions promptly.We will try to get this cottage in the future.
This villa is the 3rd house from the beach!! With a beautifully updated kitchen & bathroom, very clean, with all things needed to enjoy your time at the Beach & in St Augustine. It was just about a 10-minute drive to downtown/historic St Augustine. We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway week at the beach here!
Great stay for the two of us and our dog. The cottage is perfect size, one bedroom with a nice kitchen and living area. It is just three houses back from the beach access. The beach is wide and clean. There are several good restaurants within a couple miles, and a handful within walking distance.
This is a wonderful place to stay, so clean and friendly, we for sure will return again soon! Beach is literally steps away, and just a short walk to anything else you need! Home away from Home❤️❤️❤️
Lovely accommodations. The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed for our four night stay. It’s in the beach block on a quiet street. My partner and I were delighted to bring our small dog along with us. I would definitely recommend this property!
Rich and Lauren were the best host. The Sand Dollar west was the perfect spot for us and our little Dachshund, it was just a 2 minute walk to the beach. The room was clean and had all the amenities you could need. Several restaurants were a short walk away also. We will definitely be staying there again.
My husband and I renewed our vows at the beach and couldn’t have asked for a more perfect place to stay! We will definitely be going back soon!
Book it, you will not be disappointed!
A++++++++
I loved this cottage!!! It was cute, clean & comfortable. A bonus was that I could keep the dog with me - steps to the pet friendly beach. I will be back!
We have been going to St Augustine Beach for several years with family. This year it was only my husband and myself so we looked for a smaller place. This was perfect! Love the cottage and the location. Hopefully we will get to stay again soon!! Thank you for a great vacation!!
Very comfortable! Very Clean and well equipped kitchen furnished with everything necessary for as much cooking as we wanted to do. Comfortable bed and functional bath. Close to beautiful, wide, and in May mostly empty beach. Walking distance to many good restaurants. We hope to return next spring.
Able to sneak away for a few days before the rush of school activities started. The property was perfect for my husband and I to enjoy our days at the beach and, as always, wonderful dining throughout St. Augustine. Would definitely rent again!
I brought my 2 pups and the yard was perfect as was the beach access. I was never over crowded where I had to worry about their safety. The cottage its self was clean and came with EVERYTHING I could need. I can’t thank them enough for making our first trip with the pups perfect!
The cottage was just perfect and extremely clean. New kitchen appliances. Close to the beach and in a very quiet neighborhood. The contact person is very friendly and flexible. The communication went perfect. We will absolutely go back .
This newly renovated Oceanside cottage was absolutely perfect for my wife and I on a short one week getaway to the beach. Loved the renovations and decorations, my wife said she wouldn’t change a thing. Also loved that it was very dog friendly with the large yard and short walk to the dog friendly beach.We had a minor issue with the water heater and after a quick phone call, it was fixed within five minutes – literally! Because the street is a dead end, beach access street with no parking on the street. It is extremely quiet with next to no traffic. I almost hate to leave this review because we are planning on coming back soon and often and don’t want this so booked up that we won’t be able to rent it. lol.We can’t wait to go back!

Great place. Super location.
This place deserves five stars but I only can give four due to the $500 deposit they require. They ran the $500 my credit card and I had to ask several days later I left for them to return it. Which they did…But I could’ve overlooked it very easily. I ’m wary of properties that require large deposits. Overall the place is awesome. Clean and in a very good location, close to the beach I wish I could give it five stars but deposit is prohibitive.
Lovely 1 BR cottage steps from the beach. Very comfortable cottage, easy drive into St. Augustine and close to fun restaurants on the beach. Host was great!
