We absolutely loved the house. It is a 5 minute easy walk to the ocean. You can hear the ocean early in the morning from the front porch. Lots to do and places to eat close by. Pool was great and had a grill to bbq and nice yard that the kids played pass and the dogs loved to run around in. Yard completely fenced in which made it great for the dogs or if you have small children. The only thing that we would have made it more enjoyable is if there were stairs to get to the back yard from the back porch. It also would have been better if the garage door opened in the back yard to make playing ping pong easier when everyone is outside. Bathroom downstairs in the garage is so convenient when outside. Overall we loved the house and hope to return again soon!!
House was great for our short trip to St. Augustine. About 10-15 minutes from the historical area. The house was equipped with most needs ( a few more cleaning supplies and garbage bags would have been nice). The house was a few blocks from the ocean, straight shot from closest East West cross street bonus you can drive on the beach with the appropriate vehicle. The downstairs game room was great. We didn't use the pool, but the whole outdoor area is well equipped for the whole family. We would definitely rent this property again it was a quiet location but close enough to everything we wanted to do.
This place is great for teens and dogs. The pool was a blessing to have and the ping pong table was the highlight of all of our competitions. Great neighborhood, great walk to the beach all very safe. Furniture was durable for our service dog and other puppy. The carpenter bees were an issue but if you don't bug them they go away. We had a great time. Great house. Problems arose with the pool cleaning. That is wrong in the listing. It comes on Friday not Mondays. The lawn service really should have a window of 2 hours for the family to re arrange their daily pool time, pool hours, outside time etc... The management had no idea when the lawn service was coming which really made me mad. Otherwise, I would for surely recommend this house. Loved it and had a wonderful time.
This was a great stay. The house was exceptionally clean and furnished with an in-ground pool, fenced in yard and super close to the Butler Beach and a Cuban cafe for early morning coffee or a Mexican restaurant for some quick eats. Everything is supplied and in great shape. All you need are groceries, sun block and a fun attitude. There’s a great putt-putt course down the road and lots of places along the beach to swim and surf in, grab shells or sea glass, and walk the estuary. I’d recommend you bring your bikes if so inclined. I was trying to book again, but they’re already booked so if you see the week you want, grab it. This place was a real gem. I’m a single dad with two teens and a little dog and it was worth every mile and dollar to be here. We had the best time!!
After i spent time reading reviews i had low expectations. But vacasa must have taken the feedback and improved a few things because i thought the property was terrific! The house was very clean. It is decorated in a cute, beachy theme. It is the perfect size for 5 or 6 people. There is nothing wrong with the stairs and i didn’t encounter any bees like another reviewer. The kitchen is stocked with more than adequate dinnerware, utensils, large plastic cups with lids and straws to use at the pool, even salt and sweeteners for your coffee. I thought there was plenty cleaning supplies as opposed to another reviewer. It is a super easy walk to the beach. You have to cross a1a, but it is only two lane at this spot and there is an electronic crosswalk sign to make it easy and safe. There are a couple beach chairs and a cart to take to the beach. The beds are very comfortable- even the bottom mattress of the bunk beds (i didn’t sleep on the top one). A/c worked great, as did wifi. The pool is perfect. It’s true a little grass does get in it after the lawn service mows on thursdays, but it is very easy to use the pool skimmer to get it out in 2 minutes tops. When we contacted the management company via text we received immediate answers. Maybe other folks had a different experience than we did - but we couldn’t think of any constructive criticism- it’s just a great place!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
Great Location but Bee-ware
First the positives: The house location is great, walkable to the beach and in a nice, family neighborhood. The size was just big enough for our small family with plenty of TVs (if everyone wants to watch something different) and great Wifi. It’s also great to have use of the beach caddy/chairs especially if you are not driving to the house for your vacation.
Now, the negatives, that sadly outweigh the positives: The only access to the house is via old wooden stairs in desperate need of repair (not sure they would pass any code) that have been eaten away at by a swarm of carpenter bees. The deck in both the front & back are also old wood with swarming bees making the use of the outside sadly impossible. You have to dodge giant bees entering & leaving the front door and we didn't even get to enjoy the pool.
Also, it should be noted that the game room in the garage is not accessible from inside the house. You have to go out the bee-infested front entry, down the precarious wooden stairs, unlock the side garage door, then open the back garage door. This is the only access to the backyard as well. There is no access to the pool/yard from the kitchen sliders/deck.
Be aware that the bunk beds are incredibly squeaky and unsleep-able. Luckily our daughter was able to sleep in the Queen bed which was very comfortable. It would also be nice if they provided more garbage bags and cleaning supplies to keep your space clean.
This is a long review, but I am hoping to help families plan.
Great shotgun style house with open floor plan. We loved our visit and the home was neat and clean. The only thing we had issues with is the microwave above the stove does not work so there was no vent for the stove and then there was were only 6 towels for five people for all week as they asked you not to wash them. Great place though and will look at staying again
My family and I had a great stay at this property. The backyard was huge and the games in the garage were great. The house was clean and accommodating. We would have extended our stay if we could have!
This property is very well kept in a great location and lots of privacy love the pool area. My stay was short but had everything I needed. My only complaint would be the bed was too hard for me , I would definitely rent again but would bring a foam mattress topper for better sleep.
This is an adorable house. Very clean. Well maintained. Really nice pool. Just a short walk down the road from an amazing beach or you can drive and park your vehicle right onto the beach. Close to local restaurants and attractions. We had a blast!
We definitely recommend this place. Great location. Great pool. Backyard is fenced in. Game room in the garage was nice. House was clean. Beds were comfy.
From the second we opened the door, we knew this was going to be a wonderful vacation! This house was perfect for our family - plenty of room, well-stocked, perfect location, and the pool was amazing! We have never been as happy with a vacation home as we were with this one, and we can’t wait to come back!
Great house, clean and comfortable. Not too far from the beach and included a lot of beach stuff as well as an outdoor shower to rinse after the beach. The mattresses could use an upgrade but otherwise a terrific property!
Dishwasher detergent could not be found. Besides that we will be back.

We had such a good time on our vacation to st. Augustine. The house was in a perfect location. Walk to the beach and a ten min. Drive to downtown st. Augustine. The home was very clean,comfortable and pet friendly! Would stay again!
Great house located in a quiet neighborhood with private pool
We had a great week at this rental. The listing was exactly as described on VRBO. We were within a few minutes walk to the beach access and loved having a fenced- in yard with a private pool.
If I could make one suggestion, it would be to invest in a luggage lift off the back porch. Lugging everything up and down the steps, was the only draw back to this property.
We would definitely stay here again.

The property was situated in a nice residential neighborhood but still only a short 3 block walk to the beach. Nights by the pool were quite and relaxing and in 15 minutes we were in downtown St. Augustine. Perfect.
We really enjoyed this house, Very with stocked with everything you need for a week long vacation. The pool was very nice, nice quiet neighborhood. Beach was a short distance away, we drove, because you can drive on the beach. This unit is close to some great restaurants, The Oasis was great, Safe Harbor was great, and Island Donuts was amazing, The Pizza At Romano's on the beach was the Best Pizza we have ever had, Bar none!. Hats off to the owners for allowing this property to be Dog friendly, Our little Mountain Fiest loved the ocean. Thanks Again for a Great Vacation
The home was great but the stairs for seniors was too much. The beach was too far for us to walk and you needed a permit to park on the beach. The home and grounds were perfect. My son and his wife used the pool and loved it. Thank you for opening your home to us.
Everything was great except it rained about 50% of the time. The pool was not heated and the step up to the house was too much, especially since we had to catty or bags and food up the stairs. It kicked our a--es
