Great location and house for family reunion

Our group was 7 adults and 3 younger children. Home was clean. The layout of this home was really very nice as it had enough beds for everyone. We likely could have been able to accomodate a few more people and still be comfortable. The home was spacious for our group. The main floor layout was great place to congregate as there are several gathering places to sit and talk/vistit with one another. The living room/family room is very comfortable with large coffee table tow couches and a few chairs. Also large kitchen table which accomodated our whole group and nightly card games. We stayed over Christmas week which was cooler and overcast so we did not use pool. However we used the HotTub and Grill and they were enjoyed by everyone. The yard (both front and back) was used a few times by us to play bean bag toss game which was supplied by owner. The view looking west at the city was excellent. Sunsets would be great feature but most all our visit the weather was cloudy and overcast in 60s. Lots of wildlife (Pelicans, Dolphins) daily hunting for fish. Easy drive over to downtown, but watch for traffic as this bridge going into city can back depending on the week you go. The kitchen was very well equipped to prepare meals. A Keaurig coffee maker was avaialble as well as another drip coffee maker. We used both. Dave (the Owner) and Leah (the Manager) were both very easy to work with and responsive to any issues we encountered.

Perfect Vacation Home in St Augustine

The property manager was very responsive and reached out during our stay. You cannot beat the views or the location of this home. It was just a few minutes drive to downtown. The home has everything needed for a weeklong stay. Our son enjoyed fishing off the dock. No complaints at all.

Another great stay

This was our 4th year staying in this beautiful and well appointed home right across from downtown St Augustine. The home is comfortable and spacious and is very accurately represented in the listing. The bedrooms are big and comfortable, and the bathrooms are as well. The living space is charming with numerous areas to congregate. The kitchen has everything you will ever need to entertain. But by far the biggest selling point is the huge back porch and the view across the water to downtown. It's a great spot, has to be one of the best on the river. Hope to have a chance to return again. St. Augustine has really come into its own over the last decade with many new bars, restaurants and tours to enjoy.

Another wonderful stay!

My family of 8 had another wonderful stay at Buena Vista in late October. This was our second visit to this beautiful property and we loved every minute of it! We enjoyed the pool, bicycles and fishing off the dock. The dolphins and manatees were regular visitors. The home is very spacious and comfortable so that, even with a big group, it doesn’t feel as if we’re living on top of each other. Can’t wait for our next visit!

Perfect views and perfect layout

This was our second stay at Buena Vista for a family trip with little ones. The layout of the house is perfect and the rooms are spacious. The kitchen has literally everything you need and then some, as well as a huge pantry to house snacks for a week as a group of 10. Sunsets are unbelievable as well! We look forward to continuing our visits annually :)

Great Family Vacation

The home was beautiful - exactly as described in the listing. Beautifully furnished and the art was amazing. The views cannot be beat. We enjoyed a family vacation in St Augustine as we do every year to celebrate our granddaughter’s birthday. This home was the perfect place for family to gather in celebration but also for relaxing. The owner and house manager were available for anything needed during our stay. We will be back!

Amazing Property

My family and I really enjoyed our stay here. The house was incredibly spacious even with 10 people. The pool and and full-length deck were our favorite spots to hang out and enjoy our time together. The house was well stocked, clean, and located in a quiet neighborhood. This is by far one of the best VRBO locations we've stayed at. We're already looking to book this property again for next year's family vacation.

Best experience ever!

Buena Vista, the management and St Augustine provided my friends and family with one of our best vacation experiences ever! The house is absolutely beautiful and the hosts have paid great attention to stocking it with everything you could need. The house is large enough for everyone to have their space but comfortable enough to feel like you’re home. The pool, hot tub, covered porch, other amenities and gorgeous sunsets filled our days with fun and happiness. The beds were incredibly comfortable so we all went home rested and recharged. We had a few issues during our stay but they were promptly dealt with by the property manager. We loved every minute of our stay and are already talking about when we might return.

Our third year enjoying this wonderful waterfront home in St Augustine. Perfectly situated overlooking downtown St Aug and the Bridge of Lions. This is the 3rd Christmas that we have stayed here. The house is fantastically appointed, comfortable and charming. Great back yard, pool and dock. We love walking and biking into town - which is very easily done from the home. We look forward to coming back again. Highly recommend.

ONCE AGAIN, AMAZING

This was our second time staying at Buena Vista, and once again, it was absolutely incredible. The home is very cozy and plenty of room for a large family. We were there while Hurricane Nicole hit Florida. As a native Floridian myself, one never knows what can happen. While other homes had water up to the doors, not one drop even came to the stairs here. This home sits very high and is very sound! We all felt very safe and no issues at all. Thank you again for sharing your incredible home with us.
