Overall the place was perfect. We loved the access to the beach and the quietness. We appreciated the beach supplies and enjoyed seeing the turtles. The place wasn’t the cleanest place we’ve stayed in, but not much to complain about.

Prime location

Being a dune boardwalk away from the ocean and hearing the waves was wonderful. So many FL beaches are not dog friendly, but this beach area was. The apt was comfortable and as pictured, and is perfect for 2 people. There are endless things to explore and do in the area, and in St. Augustine.

Satisfied with our stay

We loved our stay and felt we had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. The boardwalk that took us out to the beach was a bit unstable, boards were loose and did not feel entirely safe, could use some work. Other than that everything was great. Sat and watched the sunrise every morning on the benches. The turtles were a pleasant surprise and so fun to watch.

We enjoyed our stay at this property location in proximity to beach was great. Here is my suggestion...have a beach wagon that have the fat tires to carry all your beach stuff. We had to make several trips to get our stuff down to beach and a wagon would have been helpful. .

Loved the location; easy access to the beach. We called for extra blankets and they were delivered promptly. Good response time. A cute place, but it needs some TLC & to be sprayed for bugs. Tripping hazard from raised floor tiles in the kitchen, the bedroom overhead light was not functioning. Sliders were very tough to open. The furnace closet seemed to be harboring breeding bugs.

Loved the location. It was nice having a cart to carry beach stuff to and from the beach. Easy access into apartment. I would love to stay at this location again, but due to back issues that I deal with the furniture (living room & bedroom) is too soft for individuals such as myself. However, I would highly recommend this location for others to consider. All email conversations with Angela Moro were answered promptly. The beach was clean & though the apartment was located next to a busy public beach access there was no issues with noise. My sister & I really enjoyed the stay.

Beach getaway - great location

The unit is in a great location, there are stairs to the beach from the back and it is right next to the public access road. The unit itself is very spacious and the kitchen is very well supplied. There is a lot to do in the area and we went on a sailing catamaran in Saint Augustine, and also went on some other tours. We had our two small dogs with us and we found the area to be extremely pet friendly.There was a caretaker on the premises and he was very responsive and friendly. I would definitely recommend this if you are looking for the Old Florida feel. It is also very convenient to grocery stores and restaurants.

Nice stay but could be better

Location was perfect and so convenient to walk to the beach. Communication with the property manager could definitely be better. The back door from the living room doesn’t lock and there’s a stick keeping it from opening. When I messaged Angela letting her know, she didn’t message me back which was disappointing. There’s some basic repairs that need to be made that would make the condo more pleasant for renters.
