Wonderful property. Close enough to St. Augustine to visit, but far enough away for some peace and quiet. Home was well stocked, comfortable, and clean. We would love to stay here again in the future.

Perfect Again!!!
Stayed for the 2nd year in a row but this time stayed a full 7 days . Could not have asked for a better time or place. Just like last year it was perfect. Boating was great and so was the beach. Had family staying close by, plenty of place to park when they came to visit and enjoyed the outside grilling and beautiful patio. I highly recommend staying here. We will be back again soon!

Perfect place to stay for beach and boating. Location is absolutely perfect and very convenient.
We had the best vacation ever. The house was spectacular and as clean as a whistle. Everything we needed was there. We spent 2 amazing days at the beach, one day shopping and down town and 2 days in the boat. It was so nice being in a perfect location to everything. The host was more than helpful and so easy to contact and always quick to respond. We are already deciding on what week to book again next year and hopefully get to go back for a weekend before summer is over. The place is THE BEST Bring your own boat place to stay ever ! We will be back again soon!!! This is more than a five star vacation home . It was PERFECT
