This is our 2nd year in a row staying in this condo. Honestly the main reason is that it’s hard to find places that accept pets (especially big dogs). The property has great places to walk your dog. It’s more expensive than other condos in the complex. I like to have balcony right in the beach which this does not have but there is a nice patio with an ocean view. The condo is pretty and comfortable but the kitchen isn’t very well equipped, although the appliances are very nice. We love the pool area the close access to the beach but the walk is difficult for me at 70 years old. The people are very nice and the location is convenient to restaurants and grocery stores, etc. Bathrooms have been redone and are very nice but the master bath needs a caddy for soap, shampoo, etc. The check in was a little messed up. We didn’t have the correct parking permit for our last few days and the guard didn’t seem to know we were coming. Overall we love it and will probably book again next year.

Condo was nice and clean, but visit was poorly prepared. Gate attendant was unaware we were coming and kept us waiting. Elevator location was hidden from view. Instructions in unit had wrong internet password and code to open beach gate, necessitating multiple texts to the owner. Toilet seat was broken, slider door was off railing, ice maker did not work and storm door stuck. Owner scheduled repair visit 3 days later and repairman never showed up or called at the appointed time. This owner needs a property manager to oversee the condo.

Beautifully appointed condo. Check-in had us worried at first. Security Guards at entrance did not have info that we were arriving. This was all handled quickly and professionally. One of the ladies even took us over to the condo, brought us a luggage rack, made sure we got into the condo safely, and even gave us great information on places to eat. We experienced a few maintenance issues, but Isabella responded to us very quickly. Given the lovely condo, and the killer beach views from the deck, how could a few minor inconveniences negatively affect our trip? We were extremely grateful to Isabella for accomodating our pet that was travelling with us.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo in Saint Augustine. The Ocean Gallery has so many great amenities to enjoy, and the beach view from condo balcony was wonderful! Our family made some priceless memories together during our stay this week.

We have booked this condo several times and each time we have enjoyed our stay. The Condo owner is very good about making sure her renters are taken care of. The condo has been remodeled with a new kitchen, new living room furniture and flooring.

We loved the condo and the pool. I loved that we could have our dogs and the dog friendly beach. The view was nice but I would love it more if it were directly oceanfront, but you can’t have everything. The kitchen was well equipped and the refrigerator was the nicest I’ve ever had in a rental. I was a little disappointed that it was advertised to have U-verse TV with premium channels but it had been recently changed and there were no premium channels. We will definitely stay there again if I can’t find an oceanfront unit that allows dogs. We fell in love with St Augustine. The beach is beautiful and it’s not as commercial as other beaches at which we’ve stayed.

Very nice and comfy condo. Great location. Really enjoyable.
Owner may want to review and update some of the documents provided, since some things have changed.
I rent properties myself, and i know, if you don't live in your rentals, you may not know when there are problems.
Coupla minor issues here:
Some electrical outlets not working.
No light working on outside patio.
Expensive nice refrig but water and icemaker not working.
No coffeemaker, only keurig, but advertised differently.
No real serious problems.
Allowed to have dog; appreciated.
Flexible on additional deposits: very appreciated.
Very nice stay; would do again.

We thoroughly enjoyed this condo with gorgeous view of the ocean. It was bright, cheery, comfortable, and very well appointed. The only variable from the description on VRBO is that it is a NORTH facing unit, not south. The location is perfect for laying low and relaxing or going into St. Augustine shopping. Miles of solid beach for walking or playing are just steps from the condo. The owner was very responsive and quick to respond to any questions. We definitely hope to return!

Things needed fixing: dryer worked on only 1 cycle, towel bar falling down, felt the property was over priced for the condition it was in. Kitchen was nice and well equipped but coffeemaker did not work. The view was awesome.

A great stay in St.Augustine
We had such a nice time at this condo. Everything we needed to have a great time on the beach was provided - towels, boogie boards, chairs, and an umbrella! It was super quick to get to the pool and beach and I loved being able to sit on the patio and see the ocean. The beds were also super comfy!
I highly recommend this rental!

Perfect in every way!
We have stayed at various condos in Ocean Gallery over the last 8 years, and this one was the best yet! The condo had everything we needed.. and then some! The beach cart and chairs were such a great extra. The condo has been updated since some of the photos.. wood floors in the bedrooms and new bedding/furniture. Everything was comfortable, inviting and beachy. We loved sitting on the balcony watching the turtles and listening to the waves. Thank you Isabel for sharing your place with us and for being so helpful and accommodating!!

Great location, great view, great stay
Everyday when I looked at the view from the balcony, I couldn’t believe I was so fortunate to be here. Ocean Gallery complex is a wonderful location, beautifully landscaped and well maintained. The condo is clean and comfortable with an uplifting ambiance. It was a pleasure and delight to be there. The owner responded and resolved all concerns promptly and thoroughly.

Great rental and TONS of extras
We loved this property and were very impressed with all the extras it contained. We have rented a lot of VRBO properties and none have had the extras like beach chairs, sand toys, puzzles, games, paper plates, etc. We also loved the location. The large balcony was nice to sit on and eat lunch while watching the turtles approach the balcony. The room was also close to the pool and not too far from the beach. The manager was also very easy to get in touch with. We will rent this unit again!

Great Beach Condo!!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beach condo!! It was very clean and very cozy. There was no smell whatsoever. The air conditioner worked great. It had everything we needed and more. The king bed was by far one of the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. The furnishings are as pictured but she has upgraded a couple of lamps etc. The carpets look brand new and had no stains whatsoever. I am assuming she has upgraded these things bc otherwise I’m.not sure what previous reviewers are talking about. She does have some of her personal belongings here but it made it feel more like home in my opinion and she had the stuff out for our use. There are beach towels, chairs, a beach bag, tons of bath towels and wash cloths etc. We loved staying here. The view of the beach was amazing and St. Augustine is only a quick and easy 20 minute drive. The pool is right out of the elevator door and the pier that takes you to the beach is extremely convenient and has been newly painted. The whole place is nicely kept. We will definitely be back!!

Perfect spot
Condo was in great condition except for patio furniture is nearing its end of life with frame rusting but still decent. Easy access to beach and clean facility. A little drama with front gate and obtaining parking permit but it all got sorted out.

Not impressed
As a general rule, I don't ever review anything, because I feel that everything is subjective. What some people love, is not another person's cup of tea. Having said that, if someone paid for me to stay here, I would decline. I'll start with trying to communicate with the owner, which was, to say the least, frustrating. I followed the process that the owner had outlined about how to contact her. I had questions that went unanswered until the day before we were to check in. Check in was stressful, the gate wasn't aware that we were going to be there, she NEVER answered her phone until much later in the day, and she texted the lock box code while we were standing in the doorway. The condo, as pictured, is NOT what we walked into. The furniture there was aged, w/ dirty fabric and smelled bad. The overall space was dirty, including the floors, kitchen and bathrooms. I had to clean the counters and scrub everything down, before we unpacked for the week. The carpets in the bedrooms are FILTHY. They've tried to cover most of the stains with throw rugs. The second bedroom has a twin and a double bed crammed in there. The mattresses on both beds were AWFUL and made for a miserable week trying to sleep. There was a weird smell, that was overwhelming when you first walked in. The vents, or filters need to be cleaned. It took until the next day for us to be able to close the doors and windows, where the smell wasn't overwhelming. We had another couple come visit one night for dinner and were playing board games after we ate, and at 11:10, a creepy security guy came and knocked on the doors to ask us to turn the music down. We weren't even listening to music, and had stopped playing the games an hour before. We were sitting and talking, with the doors and windows closed. There wasn't anyone near us on the second floor, on either side, and yet he was peeking in the windows, knocking on the door, telling us to be quiet. I asked if he heard us when he was walking up, and he said no, but that someone had called to complain. The entire complex is dated, the pool was covered and closed outside, the hottub was covered and closed throughout the day. The gym and pool area in the front of the complex was difficult to get into, and we felt like people were watching us, to see what we were doing. We're all over 50, so we know how to act. It was not a great experience, and she charges A LOT of fees, on top of the base charge. Bottom line, find another place to stay.

Comfortable for four
We stayed Christmas-time, and the condo was clean and comfortable. The earlier report that the furnishings were changed is true, and my boys had no pullout couch so they traded off sleeping on a regular couch and/or chair while the girls took the second bedroom. The pullout bed in the second bedroom can not be pulled out fully, but you could sleep a toddler there. We had a lovely stay, but I wouldn’t recommend more than 5 to sleep and only that if you move the furniture to get the fifth mattress out. The posted WiFi password was wrong so read the device. Also the posted code to get into the gym was wrong, so I called the office and they told me to put a # on the end. The complex was very quiet and people were friendly. The gate guards were very courteous. It is 15 minutes to get downtown, and we enjoyed Prohibition Kitchen for dinner and live music and Pizzalleys pizza for lunch. Summer would be fun, the beach is close, they seem to have beach supplies, and the porch has a nice view. We stripped the beds and started laundry (2 loads cleaned and folded) because she requests that you don’t leave too many loads for the maid. Because of the holiday, communication with the owner was a bit spotty but she made sure the door was unlocked and keys were on the counter for us so check-in and check-out were easy!

Enjoyable time
This unit was not furnished like the picture shows. We were disappointed at the furnishings. Beds in 2nd bedroom were terrible. Too many nick-backs sitting around. We counted 20candles. Too much of the owners things in the condo. Closets and dresser drawers were full. The condo needed some TLC.
Lovely location and the pool area was nice.

Highly Recommend!
We found this gem by chance for a last minute evacuation from our home during Hurricane Florence. The owner is very accommodating and checked in with us often regarding our stay and how things were at our home. My family is obsessed with the unit and entire complex from the beach access, pools to the beautiful grounds. We have never been to St Augustine and love the beach and old town. We will be back soon and will stay at this unit again. Highly recommend!

Everything is there!
We were lucky enough to stay here for the month of February, which happened to be one of the warmest on record. It was truly beautiful, but living at 205 Pacifica Vista Way for the whole month was our "home away from home". It certainly has everything you need and then some! It was cozy and comfortable and we truly loved everything about it.

Perfect!
We stayed here in August of 2017. Isabel was very accommodating with our family who has several members with disabilities. Check in and out was a breeze, fully stocked condo, gorgeous ocean view, and quick and easy access to the pool and beach. It truly feels like home with every detail for the perfect stay well thought out. We will definitely be returning and recommending to our friends! Thank you so much for sharing your condo with us!

Excellent Condo
This was our first time renting through VRBO and the process was very good. The condo was beautifully appointed and with many extra amenities for any need that one might have. This was a nice gesture provided by the home owner. Anything needed for a fun beach vacation was provided (chairs, umbrella, cart, toys and beach towels). For our month long stay it felt like home and the view from the balcony was exceptional.
We did have one little glitch at the onset of our stay. There was a bit of confusion with the parking passes required by the complex and after several encounters was quickly resolved.
However, I highly recommend this particular condo and would definitely choose again.
