Relaxing Beach Retreat close to everything!

We absolutely enjoyed our stay at Paradise Retreat! Spotlessly clean, updated property, comfortable, peaceful neighborhood with all the comforts of home including a fenced in yard for our dog which she loved. The house had everything we needed and then some.. nice extras like beach chairs, a cooler to store your cold drinks for those sunny days on the beach, a grille in the back yard which we took advantage of several nights and a biggie for me was the washer and dryer. We also loved the closed in seating area outside to sit and enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the nightly breeze. The property is perfectly located close to great restaurants and only a 10 minute ride to downtown Saint Augustine. We really enjoyed our stay and will be returning. The owners were amazing and always available to answer any questions. Thank you Inga and Gil for an amazing stay at Paradise Retreat!

Beautiful stay by the beach

Great place. Great location. We were only ten minutes from downtown St. Augustine and all of the wonderful historical sights and tourist attractions. Also, we were only 5 minutes from the beach which was in walking distance. The property was just recently remodeled so everything was brand new, including all stainless steel appliances. We had a nice screened in back porch where we ate breakfast every morning and a nice small yard with a two person swing which we enjoyed. There was also a grill for those who like to do that with an outside dining table. The property was also located close to three excellent restaurants for those who like to eat out. We also found Inga and Gil to be extremely responsive to any and all of our needs. They came down from Jacksonville to bring us some items that we needed and to show us how to work the TVs and Roku system since we were staying here for the month. This gave us access to hundreds of movies. They also called us afterwards to see if there was anything else we needed. They were very receptive to our suggestions. I have no reservations about recommending this property.

Perfect!

This is a wonderful home and we thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The owners were very responsive and helpful and the property itself was absolutely ideal. Everything we could have possibly needed was there and even included some thoughtful additions that you don't always get like a beach cart, boogie boards, towels, and other niceties. The owners have also done a tremendous job furnishing and decorating the home, and it has a very warm and inviting feel. The neighborhood is very quiet and located close enough to the beach (just a pleasant 5-10 minute walk) but still far enough off the beaten path. We simply did not want to leave, and look forward to returning soon! Thank you Inga for letting us enjoy your wonderful property!

Best 16th Birthday

We were looking for something close to the beach but also close to St. Augustine. It was the perfect location! Quiet location, near public beach access and close enough to visit family in St. Augustine. Inside has been remodeled with nice decor. Would recommend this place if your looking for a quick trip or a longer stay. We had a great time!

I know this is picky , dead batteries in the TV remote and no cable, I like watching local news in the morning and night when out of town, the TV was run thru Apps , and trying to figure out how to use 2 remotes and figure out apps with remoted with dead or very weak batteries is frustrating

We will definitely be back time and time again. We loved that we close to everything but secluded.

This was absolutely one of our top 5 properties that we have stayed at. Inga was amazing and always responds quickly. Our favorite part was how close we was to everything but we was also away from all the hustle and busyness. The house is just as it was explained and the pictures don’t do it justice. We are already talking about our next trip and hoping we can get our older 3 to join us.
