Great Base of Operations

We were in town visiting relatives and doing some scuba diving. The location of the house is close to some of our favorite places like Washington Oaks Park, Matanzas Inlet, and Flagler Beach. The house was spacious for two of us. The climate control was steady and cool during the 90 deg F days and high humidity. We found the home to be a welcome refuge after a full day away in the heat. The kitchen and laundry room are modern.

Worked great for our needs.

The house looks like it has been well taken care of and was very clean and fresh. My only complaint would be that the master bedroom bed's memory foam mattress is past it's lifespan. It is a bit on on the sagging side as it was not comfortable. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful home near the beach

Lovely, comfortable home near the beach with everything you could need for a vacation stay and just as expected! Super easy check-in process and prompt communication with the owners. Easy 15 minute walk to Hammock Beach and right across the street from Publix, making it super convenient. Only wish-for during colder days would be space heaters to enjoy the porch/backyard more and a couple of bikes to go along with the wagon and beach gear.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We area from a rural town/neighborhood so at first blush, the property being on a busy road was a little disconcerting to us. It quickly became clear that we were in a quiet, clean house in a perfect location to access beaches and routes to any where we wanted to go. We did not plan on sitting around, but rather go golfing, visit Daytona, tour St. Augustine, hit area parks, bike trails, and beaches. It was perfect for us.

Nice place!

The house feels very welcoming, and sets the tone for your beach getaway. Comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, nice sized bedrooms and baths. Positioned right off of A1A, it can get busy, but it is a great place to stay, close to a less populated beach with no "spring break" atmosphere, Nice to have Publix grocery store a quick walk across the road, and numerous restaurants within walking distance. Close to St. Augustine, Flagler Beach, and nearby state parks. Would definitely stay here again.

Flew across country to visit and felt right at home!

We had an amazing time and felt 'at home' while on vacation. Our home base afforded us comfort and all the things we needed to have a wonderful weekend. We were able to get out and adventure around Palm Coast (super close to the beach) and also head to St. Augustine for the day as well. Highly recommended!

The place felt welcoming and peaceful; super clean; absolutely beautiful. Appreciated the attention to detail, full kitchen, the wagon full of everything needed for the beach.

Couldn't ask for more!

My husband and I booked this home along with his sister and her husband so we can explore Palm Coast prior to relocating there. When we first walked in we all said "this place is gorgeous"! The decor was beachy chic and tasteful. The openness of the kitchen, dining, living area was perfect since we all love to cook. The tile floors made for easy cleanup. The mattresses were very comfortable and baths had plenty of storage space for toiletries. The fold up wagon was a great bonus and was used daily to carry our gear to the fishing pier. The plus was being across the street from Publix - we walked over there a number of times. We will definitely come back before making our final move! THANKS
