Property could not have been more perfect for my family to enjoy the Matanzas River and Saint Augustine. Accommodations were excellent and exactly as advertised. We were able to catch redfish, flounder, snook, and snapper by departing from the floating dock. Easy access to Butler Beach boat ramp. Again, very impressive VRBO rental. 5-stars +!

Great location with beautiful sunsets! A short walk to the beach with access that was nearly private compared to other sections of the beach. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with enough room for our family. We grilled each night and hung out on the deck and floating dock, watching the sunset. This was the perfect spot for our family to relax after exploring downtown St. Augustine and Treasure beach. We will definitely be back in the near future!

We stayed here for my low key bachelorette party for 2 night. It was great-everyone had their own space. We were able to spend time inside and outside. They also had lots beach supplies including a wagon and towels. The private beach walk was a short distance and very nice walk to do in the morning and when we went to the beach in the afternoon! We loved it here and had great communication with Josh when needed. Highly recommend!

My family, plus, attended a wedding in St Augustine on Friday, October 13. Since I don’t have a lot of time with my children, and they were all attending, I wanted to book a weekend stay. The home accommodated us well. The owners were easy to communicate with. Having the dock and water in the back was perfect for the kids to hang out with each other. The only thing that I would note, and maybe I just missed it, is that it is listed as a 4/2. There are only 3 bedrooms with the 4th sleeping area being in the living room. Sleeper sofa was comfy according to those that had to sleep on it. Would definitely book again.

Great relaxing stay! Perfect little beach getaway spot. There is also a few nice places to hang out at the house so when we had down time we weren’t just all sitting there staring at each other.
