What a great place for a vacation in St. Augustine Beach! So close to all the restaurants and other food places of St. Augustine Beach. Gotta get ice cream at Mayday Ice Cream while there. Then, you're only a 10-minute drive (watch the drawbridge open and closing time) to get to downtown St. Augustine. All you need to do is pack some beach clothes and some food because this cozy place has everything including an enclosed, outdoor shower on the back deck to wash the sand off before going inside. They even have a beach buggy with beach chairs to make it even easier to get your stuff to the beach.

Perfect for a family of three

We had a short vacation in st. Augustine to enjoy some family time. The house we booked was perfect for our small family. Our son LOVED the “up high bed” and the WiFi was perfect to stream his shows at night while eating ice cream. My only gripe is that the master bedroom bed was very very firm. Takes some getting used to. Kids beds were far more comfortable. Def book this place.

Just Right

We enjoyed staying here! The house was so clean and comfortable. Beach access was close and the pool was smaller but never crowded. We brought our mini dachshund and he was comfortable too! We would definitely stay here again.

This is a nice spot for families with kids. The heated pool was a great plus for when the ocean is too rough. Short walk to the private boardwalk to the beach. The enclosed outdoor shower was nice for washing off after the beach or pool. The full size charcoal grill was an added plus. The kitchen is decently stocked with dishes, etc. There were plenty of towels, both bath and beach. The free tickets were an added bonus, though didnt end up using any this time around. We would definitely stay here again on a future trip. The hosts were a pleasure to deal with and quick to respond with any questions or needs.

Beautiful Vacation Rental

We loved staying in this vacation rental home! We appreciated the cleanliness and extra touches like coffee, waters and coupons, beach chairs, beach towels, wagon, etc! You can't beat the location and proximity to the beach, shops and restaurants! iTrip was extremely responsive.

Great Getaway!!

This property was absolutely charming. It was perfect for my family. The location was on point. Steps away from the beach and minutes away from really good restaurants and activities. The property was clean and stocked with the essentials, including beach chairs, umbrellas, & toys! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
