Perfect for our annual family trip

The property exceeded all expectations. The location was a short walk from the beach and an easy drive to downtown. The best part was the view from the deck of the fireworks display at the beach on NYE!

Great Beach House!

This house worked great for our Thanksgiving family gathering of 11 people spanning 3 generations. Easy access to the beach was key and when the weather turned we enjoyed the protected pool and hot tub area. The third story main floor has a spacious and inclusive open floor plan with great decks and peeks of ocean views.

White Sands

Great house — super comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. The rooms are spacious, and there are enough restrooms for everyone to get ready at the same time. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals for a group. The convenient beach access is a huge plus, and it's just a short walk to a fantastic ice cream shop — perfect for treating yourself after a long day at the beach.

Summer vacation

Beautiful home that was spotless, close to the beach and perfect for the family. Brought 9 adults down and wasn't disappointed. St. Augustine beach was close, not crowded and a pleasure to visit. All the rooms were well appointed with new appliances, kitchenware and very comfortable. Outside pool was clean, private and a nice break from the hot beach. Had a small issue with the refrigerator but owners were extremely accommodating and fixed issue immediately. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect home for a crowd!

This home is spectacular! The entire upper floor is a perfect space to host a large group for meals. The dining table seats 12 and there are 6 barstools. There is a large sectional couch and the space is totally open concept. The bedrooms and bathrooms are ample in size and comfort. Each bedroom is an en suite with a bathroom. The closets have organizers inside and have hangers. No detail was ignored in this home. The outdoor space is lovely - the pool was a perfect spot for gathering and enjoying the Florida weather. Just across the street from the beach and an easy 5 minute walk. This home is perfection! And the house managers are very responsive and helpful.
