Beachy Condo

Overall it was a nice place. We wished it was closer to the beach, however was not far. Good location and close to many attractions. Property management was excellent and very responsive. Our only complaint was that we could hear ppl upstairs walking as the walls were thin.

Great Location - Beach and Pool

Had a very enjoyable time. The property is located conveniently to St. Augustine. It was great having a family oriented pool available and also having beach access to the Atlantic. We had other family members who live in side the intercoastal, we were 10 minutes from their home with the bridge crossing about 1/2 mile away. Would recommend to any visiting the area (visit included me, my wife, and adult daughter).

Great stay

We had a great stay at the Island Palms Retreat!! The condo is comfortable airy & spacious, just as advertised! The location of the condo with in the community was perfectly situated & quiet. We loved the offering of a daily i trip local ticket & this inspired us to get out & take advantage of local history & entertainment. The host communicated with great detail & was quick to respond back to our questions. We will definitely be back to this property again!!

Great Condo Close to the Beach

My husband and I stayed here for three weeks. The beach access was easy, just a few steps away. We like to have the ability to cook at home on long stays, and the kitchen was well equipped to do so. We enjoyed many attractions, museums and restaurants in downtown St. Augustine and St. Augustine beach (about 9 miles). The quite nature of this condo community and pretty beach was greatly appreciated.

Lovely

The condo was clean and updated. There was a strong smell when we first walked in but by the 2nd day we didn’t notice it. We loved that it was so close to the pool and beach access. There are a lot of stairs to get to the beach so you can’t bring your beach items in a wagon. Overall we had such a beautiful time at this location and we had everything that we needed.

First family girls trip!

Size was just right and very convenient for pool and beach fun! Parking was a little wonky from a placement perspective. In general some updates are needed, beds were not comfortable, coffee maker needs to be replaced, refrigerator beeped endlessly, freezer door broken and walls very thin. Additionally received pertinent check in information and details in a variety of different mediums, would suggest sending all the things needed either by email or text but including all the things at one time. So we have one place to get all the things we need for checkin, during stay and checkout. Also lots of reference to 300 in free events/activities, but none of that was present or any insight provided into how to utilize.

Nice beach getaway

We had a family wedding in St. Augustine and decided to make it into a vacation stay on the beach. This little gem was perfect! Located on one of the best East Coast beaches in Florida. We found it easy to take short day trips both North and South. There are two great restaurants within walking distance, and groceries just a short drive away. The condo is newly remodeled and cozy. Kitchen was functional with everything to make cooking at home easy. TV’s were easy to use. Beds were very comfortable. Condo comes with one parking spot, but has plenty of guest parking in the front. There are stairs and a boardwalk that crosses a protected dune. It’s a beautiful walk to the pristine beach. We enjoyed taking in the sunrises and sunsets. We would recommend staying here.

Great beach get away!

This was a wonderful beach getaway. Clean, updated beautifully, all things you could possibly need were included. Pool for a swim was a few steps away, and the beach was just a quick walk up a ramp. Lovely complex, quiet and well cared for. We would definitely stay again!
