Wonderful

We had a fantastic stay in St. Augustine! The house was ideally situated near both the town and the beaches, making it perfect for our needs.The home was very comfortable and had something for everyone in the family. Our kids had a blast in the pool, our dog loved exploring the spacious backyard, and we appreciated the two living rooms and the game room for relaxation and fun.The hosts were exceptional. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with thoughtful treats, and the house was fully equipped with everything we could possibly need, even bandaids!When we encountered a minor issue with a leak, Sara and her husband responded right away. They did everything possible to resolve it and were incredibly helpful. Leading up to our trip, Sara was also quick to answer all my questions, making the planning process so much easier.Overall, it was a delightful experience, and I would highly recommend this place to others!

Great Quiet Location + Awesome Yard for Dogs

We really loved our stay here, so much so that we added an extra night! The pool was awesome, there were so many little additions that make this place a winner, the lounge chairs, the coffee and snacks, full kitchen of whatever you need, you can tell the owner takes very good care of this home and has made many updates (shower heads, granite counter tops, remote fans, outdoor lighting and landscaping, comfy mattress, nice towels, great washer/dryer, large TVs in each room). The home is in a pretty "woodsy" area with some large properties but just a short drive to stores and downtown or the beaches. Our only issue was the A/C struggling in the late afternoons, but then again it was August, our hottest month, and it did cool down fine once the sun went down. Whether traveling with kids or dogs, I'd highly recommend considering this rental. It's spaced out - so if traveling with another couple or kids, it would work well. Both showers are spacious and great and the place was SUPER CLEAN upon arrival. We will be back again! Thank you Sara!

This is our second time staying at this property. We loved it the first time and loved it this time too! Sara is super friendly, and always made sure we had everything we needed. (i thought it was nice how she knew a certain way we liked the master bed without needing to be reminded....) We enjoyed the pool and used it frequently. The location is close to everything (there's even a great ice cream shop close by, yum!) We love the space in her house...it just spreads out. The billiard and dart room are a wonderful distraction if the weather isn't perfect to swim. This year there was an added foosball table! Sara has been generous in supplying soaps and trash bags, toilet paper etc. Beach and shower towels are at the ready. There was even a little snack box on the kitchen counter with water bottles when we arrived! Such a "homey" touch.. The yard was nice to bring our pup...enough grassy area for him to get to "explore" and everything is fenced so in the wee hours of the morning we could just put him out in the yard and know he was safe! The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to use. thank you Sara for yet another nice stay in Florida!!

Everything We Hoped For

I can't say enough Good about this home. It met all of our expectations. It is an exceptionally well thought out property having everything you need for a home away from home. The kitchen is well stocked for any type of cooking you'd like to do. Televisions in 5 rooms, pool table if the weather stinks, swimming pool if it doesn't. Nice quiet neighborhood, close to everything and a large fenced in yard which was great for our 2 labs. Even a second private seating area to have your coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at night. And the communication and concern from Sara was immediate. Thank you Sara for a very pleasant and memorable stay.

This home is spacious, and comfortable. Plenty of room for us and our adult children (20’s). We enjoyed the heated pool, the entertainment room with the huge tv, loved the pool table. Fenced in yard for our pups and privacy. Sara was easy to reach with any questions. Nice neighborhood with a horse across the street and a train nearby which we love. Easy access to stores and entertainment. My daughter became ill with strep and there was an urgent care down the road to take care of us. We would stay again for sure. No one wanted to leave!

Spacious house, lovely pool

We enjoyed our stay enough to extend our visit an extra 2 days. The house was just as it was listed. Great layout and plenty of room for our family to hang out together and also spread out into our own spaces. Everyone enjoyed the pool. Our dogs loved the large fenced in yard. The only thing that would make it better would be a sidewalk from the parking area to the house since parking is separated from the house. Walking through the wet grass in the mornings and after FL rains wasn’t pleasant for us.
