The beach cottage is just steps from the lovely sand and surf. It is also an easy half mile walk to a Publix and a couple of eateries that we enjoyed. The location is great to sightsee in St. Augustine and Anastasia State Park. There is a lot to do in the area and the beach cottage was a great place to stay.

The property is clean and spacious. It was the first getaway I have ever had with my daughter. We love fishing and access to the beach with our gear was so easy. I want to book this property again for all my children. My brother is going to book it for his daughter and her husband. Love it!
