Wonderful place to stay
First off- the owners are super responsive & helpful! I can’t say enough good about this part. They were very patient with my questions of the house & the area since we had never been to the area & they were super quick to return my messages. They sent recommendations on restaurants, beaches, & attractions which helped us to plan our trip ahead of time. The house is in a neighborhood so houses are a little close together, but never had any issues with any of the neighbors. The neighborhood is quiet & not too busy streets. It’s about 20 min drive to some good attractions. We had 7 beautiful deer that came right up in the back yard one day. House was clean, nice furniture & appliances, & overall a good place to stay. It had a small screened porch in front & another screened porch on the back with a fenced in area for your pet to go out & not worry about them running off- liked that part too. Beds were comfy. Couches were comfy, but one of our teens said futon wasn’t as comfy as the couch itself. Had 3 bedrooms- 1 with a king size bed & tv, 1 with a queen size bed, & 1 with 2 twin sized beds. The owner even put an extra tv in one of the bedrooms so that our teens could have a tv to watch while there. Had 2 bathrooms- both w/ standard sized tub/shower combo. Driveway was big enough for 2 vehicles & a boat we brought. Overall a great stay & we would definitely stay again there! Big thank you to the owners who went above & beyond to help us & make our stay a great one!

A home far away your home!
As soon as we got it into the house, we knew that everything would be perfect for our stay. Well organized, with a relaxing backyard and barbecue to spend the afternoon or brunch like we did. Rachel (the host) is very polite and even provided us information and tips to make it easy for us in order to explore the city. Don't hesitate to book Wilwood Retreat, you're not going to regret it!

We had a great time, the house is lovely. Supplied with lots of things other houses we have stayed at don’t have. Close to lots of thugs to do, comfortable furniture, a big dinning room table for all of us to eat together. The host was wonderful, very responsive to our questions. We shopped, went to the beach, played games, it was great!!

Great time at Wildwood
Upon arrival, our check in process was super easy. Wildwood had everything we needed and then some, it was great having the extra toilet paper, paper towels, laundry pods for use. A big THANK YOU! My family and I have stayed in numerous vrbo's and Wildwood Retreat is first home to not only supply but supply enough for the week. Having the option for a fence for our fur baby was a nice addition. We also enjoyed how close the home was to everything and we absolutely loved the little strip mall with Cold Cow ice cream, Mojo's tacos and Antonio's pizza. These are at end of Wildwood Rd across street. Highly recommend for a quick bite and ice cream every night. Five stars all around.

Host was a bit hateful at times
I brought up a few issues and did so in a nice, polite manner, but it seems the host took offense to each issue, personally because her responses were terse and a bit hateful at times. It is what it is, but next time, just tell me without being hateful. It’s annoying when people do that.

Vacation St Augustine
Nice property, well maintained. Note on fireplace mantel to not leave food out due to critters.? We did not leave any food but still saw a bug to kill. I would suggest a full length mirror added to one of the bedrooms.. close to pool and beach within easy drive. Nice screened porch in back. We did see three deer one early morning. Enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful time staying here while vacationing St. Augustine. The home was exactly as described in a nice quiet neighborhood. A very clean home, with everything you need to feel at home. The owner Rachel was very informative, and quick to respond. The location is just minutes away from downtown and the beach. We will definitely stay here again next time we visit this amazing vacation destination.

We Found the Sun
A spur of the moment decision to leave Michigan and find the sun, led us to this perfect location. The house sits in a quiet neighborhood just a short distance to historic St Augustine and the local attractions. Butler Beach (dog and auto friendly) is also very close by. My husband has limited mobility and uses a walker and scooter. The layout of the house worked perfectly for him. We enjoyed our morning coffee in the screened in lanai while our pup was very much at home watching the wildlife and playing in the yard. Very relaxing. In fact I slept better here than I do in my own bed at home. Rachel, our host did a great job of communicating both before and during our stay. An information binder left on the table gave us tips and ideas on where to go. The house was spotless, well stocked and very comfortable and everything we needed was there, including laundry. I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling to the St Augustine area. In fact, we hope to come back again soon.

Our stay was very comfortable, and the owners were great with communication. My son became a pro at bumper pool, and we had a blast enjoying the outside area. This home is about 15 minutes to the historical areas, and our hosts had coupons ready for us. We’d come back again!

We had a great family stay!
Rachel and Manual are the most thoughtful, gracious hosts. They provided us with all the information we needed and went way beyond to make our 2-week stay comfortable. They were available at all times whenever we had any questions. The place is homey, spacious, and super clean! The kitchen had everything we needed. The neighborhood had a lot of life within a 3-minute driving distance - supermarket, shops, restaurants, parks and playgrounds - but most importantly the house itself was completely quiet (well, you might hear an owl or a deer which is super nice). We would 100% recommend a stay here!
