Loved a brief walk to the beach for a morning walk, then cool off in the great pool. Entry right there to drive on beach. All attractions are a short drive away. Kitchen had everything I needed - which is unusual to find. Game room was fun.

Loved our stay here! It was very clean, and the pictures accurately depict the home. Master bed was comfortable and the bunk beds were too. The double bottom bunk squeaked a lot but our toddler didn't mind it. Loved that the house came with a couple of baby gates to keep the kids and dog safe. Beach cart access was great also! It only took about 8 mins for us to walk to the beach with the kids. Dog were allowed on the beach as long as they were on leash. Honestly best pet friendly home we've rented so far. Vacasa did a good job responding to our questions when we checked in. Would definitely come back if we're in the area!

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!

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.

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 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!!
