It needs work. Dangerous broken floor tiles throughout, ants in kitchen, seperated split unit a/c units in each room which are very loud at night and living room one leaks. Upstairs bath is odd with two levels and cramped. The outside yard and deck are beautiful. You may want to add railings to dock and walk for safety.
water.cconstantly.

The best feature of this property is by far the dock, whether you bring your own boat or plan to fish from the dock. We caught over 20 different species from the dock including a few big sharks, so think twice before jumping in! The house feels about 80 years old and appears to have been remodeled about 40 years ago. It has a few recent updates, but not many. It is very cramped and the online pictures were probably taken with a wide angle lens. However, if you are staying here it is probably because of the dock or proximity to the beach and you won't spend much time inside anyway. Overall we were pleased with the trip. It has everything that you need, maybe not everything that you would want. Most of our time was spent fishing from the dock, at the beach or exploring the area so it met our needs just fine.

We had a great time with our family of 6! We had beautiful sunsets on the new dock. The kids saw dolphins, manatees, sea turtles, crabs and fish! We easily walked to the beach with the dogs. The hosts were great about sending us details and reminders.
5.0 / 5.0
What an incredible property with million dollar views. As a boat owner, the dock was second to none. Being able to lift the boat each day and have fresh water and power on the dock to take care of the boat was great. The home owners definitely under sold and over delivered on this one !!!
5.0 / 5.0
Anchors Away was amazing!!!! Whether you have a boat or not, the location is perfect for experiencing all that St. Augustine has to offer. The dock and lift worked great and it was so nice having our boat right there. The beach is half a mile from the place so it's an easy bike ride or walk.. We were only 15-20 minutes by boat from downtown St. Augustine and rode our boat in for dinner and docked downtown .The sunset view from the dock each evening was breathtaking and in the morning the waterfront view was peaceful and serene. The place itself was very clean and had plenty of space for my family . The owners really went the extra mile on providing some basic necessities and tips for places to visit that are local spots worth trying out. We only live a little ways away from St. Augustine and plan on making it our regular place to stay when visiting. A definite gem!

It is a really nice place snd the outdoor space was great for corn hole. It was great how it was close to the beach.
3.0 / 5.0
This place was fine, it is a old house, low ceilings, cracked tile floors, noisy AC units upstairs
There was to be a finished dock, which it was not , everyday for 2 weeks, noisy trucks in morning and loud workers , so made it hard to sun bath on back patio
Then on weekends, people showing up to fish on some of the finished pier.
Beautiful view, on St. John’s River
The house did suit our needs , but did not live up to pictures and info on VRBO
Owners seemed very nice with info
If you like to fish and water view , when pier dock is done it will be a great house for you
5.0 / 5.0
Home was great. We wished we had more time to stay. If you want to see an old style Florida river home this is it. I am a multi generation floridian and feltl like i was back at my grandparents home except now with all the modern amenities. Great for families and close to old St Augustine

Traveled with family and friends. There was six of us in total and this house was the perfect size for us!! The views were breath taking and the home was so comfortable it really felt like a home away from home! We definitely plan on staying here again!
5.0 / 5.0
What a lovely, peaceful place to relax. You can watch the boats and birds go by from the couch, or the patio. This is an older house in a natural Florida setting, so you will see some ants. The AC works very well, but is a little noisy upstairs. Bedding was clean and comfy, kitchen had everything we needed.
4.0 / 5.0
Grand location. Beaches close were less populated and nice. Would recommend fixing the screens to decrease mosquitoes from screen porch. Enjoyed family time.
5.0 / 5.0
This house was conveniently located. It was a short walk to the beach. There are a few grocery stores a short drive away. The commute to the historic district of St Augustine was a very easy drive across the bridge. And the sunsets were beautiful on the back patio overlooking the river.

Very quiet and peaceful area. My favorite space was the screened in porch, we loved playing games and working on puzzles.
5.0 / 5.0
Very beautiful view out back. All of the bedding and towels were clean and in bulk. Close to the main beaches and not very far from historic down town Saint Augustine. Would stay again for sure.
5.0 / 5.0
Hosts made this so easy. Great response time. They thought of everything. Plenty of nice pillows, blankets and towels. A very well equipped kitchen. We loved the firepit and the breeze from the water. Every bed has a quality mattress so a good night's sleep was had by all. "Starter/staple" items such as salt, pepper, sugar, paper products, etc., ended up coming in clutch. 😅 The place was clean, booking, check-in, and check-out was super easy. This is how vacations should be...relaxing and peaceful. Thank you so much.
4.0 / 5.0
the best thing about this house is the location. Matanzas river right out back is nice if you have a kayak or jetski. The beach is less than 2 minutes and you can drive on with 4x4. Everything worked well except for the dishwasher and it was OK.
