The property was absolutely perfect for my wife and I to celebrate our 10th Anniversary. The house has the perfect beach house feel and location. It was clean and orderly and was stocked with everything you need to stay a few days. We were totally undisturbed and truly enjoyed the low traffic street while being so close to Food/Entertainment.

We wanted to stay close to the beach and enjoy the beautiful scenery and attractions. This was a very nice location @ the beach and close to Down town St Augustine. The condition of the home could use some much needed maintenance such as door knob at the rear fell off, bathroom needs attention to the shower area overall run down, the AC made a bang noise each time it turns on at night (auto fan mode) and make sure you bring your phone chargers because there is very little tech such as built in USB and or wireless charging. But the home does have a strong Beach Vibe and we had a terrific time each day we spent exploring the historical sites and beaches that surrounded us.

We stayed here with my parents, both in their 80s. The single level house stepless entry in the front, and easy access to the beach was a real plus. The house was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Beds and living room furniture were comfortable. It is a pet friendly house, so the fenced yard was really important for my parents' small dog. The upper deck was great as well. It is an older house, and we were fine with that. We weren't sure what a surfer bathroom was, or what 1+ baths meant in the description. The house has one full bath with double sinks and a nice size walk in shower. The half bath off the back porch is a sink and toilet only. Most suitable for four adults or a couple with two young kids. Xfinity seemed to be having issues, so we couldn't watch TV. We would definitely choose this house again.

Property is exactly as described. Easy walk to beach, to get ice cream, souvenirs. Easy drive to george st. and Anastacia state park. We will definitely return!

Incredible location! Easy check-in.
Pictures listed of home were old. Furniture was clean; however, home conditions were poor. 1st night ceiling leaked (partially repaired while we were there). 1 bdrm had incomplete drywall work next to dresser - large piece cut & setting in wall & closet displayed incomplete repairs & drywall materials left inside/reachable shelf removed. Doors were dirty. Corner of bthrm mirror was broken & poorly repaired. Bathroom shower had what appeared to be black mold in grout and near baseboard entering shower. Vents on AC closet had black on them. More than usual amt of bugs for FL (I know, I reside on FL). We checked out early - I emailed (with pics) the individual from rental company & no reply even after days of waiting.
The home has such good potential since location is great. Just cannot get past the what the home was like on the inside.

Great location to beach

I did like this beach house. It had nice amenities and was exactly as advertised in terms of location to the beach, which was fantastic.However, upon arrival at 10pm I went to shower and the handle broke off in my hand and the drain did not work well. Someone came to fix the next day, but didn't fix it properly and it immediately broke again for the remainder of the weekend. The drain was fixed the first time. Finally, on Monday evening (we left Wednesday morning) they fixed it, but over the weekend we had to use pliers to turn the water on and off. I think this should have been addressed prior to anyone coming into the unit. The internet also didn't work until Comcast opened on Monday. They tried, but couldn't fix. Sometimes we got responses, but not always from the property management company. No one offered us anything or even apologized for these inconveniences. It's not fun when you visit for 5 days and for 3 of those days (weekend) there are issues.

We really enjoyed our stay at Tiki Hut. Everything was great and convenient to many restaurants and one house from the beach. The only issue was it rained all but one day but we still had a wonderful trip.

We loved the location, distance to the beach and the home was clean and very welcoming. The allowance of pets greatly influenced our decision to stay there. The whole area was dog friendly with lots of locations offering outdoor seating with your pet, and one place a dog menu for breakfast. Excellent Stay.

Place was literally steps from the beach. Unit itself was a little run down but had everything we needed except beach chairs and umbrella which would’ve been nice. Owner was quick with responses. All in all a great trip and would stay there again as I said location was amazing

Hubby and I and our small dog spent the month of February in this cute cottage. The furnishings are exactly what we needed, and everything in the cabinets is thoughtfully selected, clean, and easy to find. On top of that, the location can’t be beat. We will be back.

Beautiful home with fully stocked kitchen and convenient layout to accommodate both family time and privacy. Short, easy walk to beach and convenient to shops, restaurants, and downtown Saint Augustine. The property manager is extremely responsive for any questions. Magnolia House was perfect for our Thanksgiving visit and we would definitely stay here again!

Great little place. Great location. Older tv's that don't stream and very limited channel access. Not a big deal until weather keeps you inside for 2 days like us.

Great location! One house away from the beach and a very short walk. We could tell the house is well loved and it had everything we needed. The back patio and deck patio were nice bonus spaces we enjoyed!

A lovely place steps away from the beach. Great place to stay for a week and really unwind. Walking distance to so many restaurants and ice cream shops.

Wonderful location and just the right size for our family of 3, for families larger I would suggest looking elsewhere as it would be quite cozy. Things to note; there is no dishwasher and the TV has only the most basic of cable service so get ready for infomercials and reruns if you're expecting streaming/smart TV capabilities, or bring your own streaming device, other than that it's great for the beach and ocean lovers.

The house was just as described. Our party of 5 plus two dogs truly enjoyed our stay! It was a very short distance to the beach, and a short drive to historic downtown as well. Before our trip the property manager was very responsive to any questions I had. We would definitely stay again!

This house was PERFECT for our family getaway. It’s a cozy little beach house steps off the beach. Beach access was super easy not treacherous at all. We watched the sunrise at the beach and the sunset every night from their roof top deck. Walking distance to some yummy restaurants. House/ furniture is older for sure but place was clean/upkept well so we didn’t mind. Our only note is the carpets in the bedrooms should definitely be ripped up because they have large noticeable stains. Rest of the house is tile. Already looking at dates to come back later this year!

I was pleased with our stay. Overall it was excellent. The only issue with me is, it needs updated cookware and utensils. Only a few steps away from the beach!👍

This was our first time vacationing in St. Augustine. We have two kids, boys. Location was excellent! You can walk to great family friendly restaurants. Late night walk to different ice cream shops. There’s lots of activities in the area we would do during the day then quickly head to the beach that afternoon. There’s a hill then steps to the beach so there’s no point in bringing a beach cart (if you need the car space). Beach is close and only one house away. The hose and outdoor shower were very convenient as well as the outdoor laundry. This helped us keep the sand outside of the house. The home met our families needs. My husband suggested curtains for the beachside bedroom and said the bright moonlight would wake him up at night (I had no issue). Also, there’s no dishwasher so be aware as we had to buy our own sponge. Thank you!

Property was well maintained and had everything needed in the kitchen. A grill would have been nice , however I purchased one and left it for the next renter. Just trying to make things a little bit better then we found it. Enjoyed the stay and look forward to returning next year..

The proximity to the beach was great. The beach access was a little treacherous, but I think this is the result of the fall hurricanes, so out of the control of the property owners. The house is older, and this was obvious based on the pictures online. The real downfall was the level of cleanliness. The back bedrooms have carpet. The stench from the carpet was almost unbearable. It appears as though the house had water damage from the recent hurricanes. Why this carpet wasn’t ripped up is beyond me. There were air fresheners everywhere trying to minimize the smell, but I think the only thing that would do this would be to take out the carpet. The carpet also had a urine smell to it. The outside washer smelled like it had been marked by a male cat. We even went to the store to buy cleaner, since there was nothing other than windex below the sink, but nothing would remove the stench. It was hard to wash clothes in this washer and dryer knowing that that odor was all around the washer. It’s as if an intact male tomcat urinated inside the washer. Also, the leaving instructions mention several times to start the dishwasher. There is NO dishwasher. Overall, the location of this house is lovely, and with a little maintenance and TLC, it could make a great vacation rental.

You might want to advertise with an updated picture which includes the now extremely pink A frame house between the property and the ocean. =]

We enjoyed our stay. Regretfully the beach path was closed . To get to the beach we had to walk 3 blocks up A1A street to 16th street. Hope this was disappointing it was an easy walk. The actual phone was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The water pressure in the shower was the lowest pressure we’ve ever experienced. That said our overall we are very pleased with our experience.

Great location to shops restaurants and commute to old town St.Augustine. Tiki is steps from the beach but the hurricane pushed the dunes so far back that there is about a 15 foot drop to the beach as it destroyed the walkways over the dunes. We walked to the 10th street walk. We enjoyed watching fireworks from the upper deck on NY eve . You can hear the ocean from inside this wonderful place very cozy would stay again.
4.0 / 5.0
The reviews were very accurate. There is no water pressure in the shower. The beach access was damaged during a storm so you can’t get to the beach as easily as described. Which would have been nice to be made aware of. The picture of the patio that looks like chairs around a fire pit is very misleading because there’s a tree growing in it.
4.0 / 5.0
Clean and comfy, we loved the rooftop deck. The backyard was spacious and fenced in, and would be great for a dog. The listing pictures showed a firepit, but we discovered it had been turned into a planter, so that was disappointing. Unfortunately the beach access was damaged due to the recent hurricane. Overall, we would recommend this home.

This was the perfect location for our week on St. Augustine beach! We loved the house! It was close to restaurants and lots of activities.
2 notes-
1. If you are traveling with a dog, the backyard is fenced, but it is all paved— no grass for bathroom breaks.
2. The water pressure in the shower was extremely low.

This property is in a great location. Short walk to the beach and restaurants. Quiet neighborhood. slightly dated, but clean and comfortable. Our only complaint is the water pressure. It's horrible! You can hardly rinse the soap off your body, much less out of your hair. The outdoor shower has great pressure but is not enclosed so no privacy. The water pressure to the indoor shower needs addressing.
5.0 / 5.0
Only down side is no water pressure in shower and I have long hair so it was hard to rinse out.

This review is long over due. This place was awesome to use as a vacation rental. The listing is accurate, the home was clean and the location was perfect (right on the beach) and walking distance to restaurants, stores, coffee shops etc.. I would highly recommend renting from Marty. A very pleasant surprise when you actually get exactly what your paid for!

Great vacation!
Tiki Hut was the perfect little beach house! Close to the beach, plenty of space. Beds were comfortable. Beach was awesome! Quiet street. Plenty of towels although water pressure In the shower was not great. Outside shower was great for a rinse off after the beach. Pressure was actually better out there. If area was enclosed would have used that for a shower. We will definitely be back. We had a great time. Thanks for sharing your home with us!
