Great property.
Great place, we traveled with a family of 7 and the house was perfect. Crossing the A1A to get to the beach was a little difficult at times, there is no crosswalk and traffic does not stop, but once you get to the beach its amazing! A little disappointed in the ammenities, host said we could use anything in the shed, tandem bicycle had clearly not been used in a while, chain was rusty and tires didnt hold air, chairs were rusty and in poor shape. Not a big deal, but why offer it as something to use when its not usable - just get rid of the stuff altogether so people dont have that expectation. Had to request toilet paper as there was none stocked, host responed quickly and dropped some off. Overall a great experience, would stay again.

Home away from home
Home felt like my home or 1 of a close relative. Owner met us at the house when we got in town to show us how to use the door lock and where everything was. He was very friendly and said if we need anything just text him and he would take care of it even if we just wanted a recommendation for food or directions for somewhere. We didnt take him up on the offer because we like just exploring but it was nice that he would do that if needed!!!

Just right in every way
An old group of friends from across the country reuniting for some WSP. Perfect layout for 6 ppl. Room for more. Everything you need for the beach is there. Nice stroll to the boardwalk. Stretch of beach not crowded and parked on the beach every day (4x4). Close to bait shop and launch. Tiki hut perfect for nighttime gatherings. Back porch great for hanging out. Kitchen great for foodies. Attention to detail, clean and very accommodating hosts. Planning on making it an annual event. ("A1A Crab House" highly recommended)

Great location!
The location of this property is amazing! It's literally about a 7 min walk to the beach, across the street! The only downside to the property is we were asked to not use the backyard for "partying or being loud" we had 4 kids age range (12, 12, 12, 15). It needs to be notated in the property that the back yard is not accessible. The Tiki Hut in the front yard was our saving grace! We spent most of our time in the Hut! The house was fully equipped with everything we needed, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. We would definitely stay here again, just without the kids!

Good week
This place was perfect for the 5 of us. The access to the beach was close & very nice. We didn't pack our beach chairs bc the listing stated some were there.... but we later learned they were broken/ unusable. That is my only complaint, and I shared it with the owner so I feel sure he will correct that issue.

Great Experience
Nice house, great host! There was an issue with the air conditioning on Sunday evening when we returned to the house from being out all day, and it was WARM. We contacted the owner, and he had a repairman there within a couple of hours and got it fixed... Again, on a Sunday night! We were impressed! The host is an excellent communicator. There's a brand new beach access very close to the house that's a nice walk. We loved the Tiki hut and took fun family pictures in it.

Great place to stay
The property was perfect for our group of six. There were lots of amenities included. Our favorite was hanging out in the tiki hut. Excellent location; not far from St Augustine and very close to several beautiful sugar sand beaches. The owner was easy to contact and responsive. We would definitely stay again. Great experience!

Great place to Stay for Beach and Sites
Really enjoyed our stay here. The home is perfect and the pictures don't do it justice. The Tiki Hut was our favorite spot to rest each night. We had lots of space to relax. the beaches are beautiful with soft white sand. St. Augustine has lots to do. We loved our Sunset Cruise (even did it 2x). took a drive to see Manatees. Loved Lightner Museum. Benk was a perfect host.

Wonderful and welcoming escape
The home was exactly as advertised and did not disappoint! Our party of 4 adults and 2 young children were very comfortable in this home. We appreciated the bed linens being provided in a neatly-folded bundle. Benk greeted us on arrival and gave us helpful information about the home and area. He even brought an additional bike. We were able to pack very light thanks to all that was included with the home. We especially enjoyed the CrockPot for easy meals that were ready after a day at the beach. This truly was the best part, being so close to beautiful Crescent Park Beach. We were in awe and visited 5 times during our stay. Parking is free and we had no trouble finding a spot even on the weekend! Back on the property, I enjoyed relaxing in the hammock and tiki hut while watching the butterflies and birds that visited the landscaped yard that makes you feel tucked away from it all. We were about 25 minutes away from St. Augustine, but it is an easy drive that we made about 4 times during our stay. A Wal-Mart and a Publix are not far, either. I look forward to coming back some day.

Quick Beach Getaway
We were pleased with our two night stay! The property owner was awesome and answered any questions we had. Property is close to Crescent Beach Park and would recommend driving there and parking if you have small kids. The backyard play area was perfect for our three year old! We loved the privacy of the front yard as well.

A real gem
We loved how accommodating this home was to our needs. There was enough room for our family to gather. Spare beds so that everyone had one. The tiki hut was awesome, as well as the hammocks to relax. Was a short walk to the beach, and a 20 min drive to the old town. Everything we needed was a short drive as well. House was very clean, and host was so informative and helpful. Loved all the binders and pamphlets to help make decisions, and let us know our way around. Definitely would stay again.

Best Place We Have Ever Stayed
This house is a great example of what a 'home-away-from-home' should be like. Everything about the house was Outstanding. We have been to Florida at least a dozen different times in the last 30 years and this ranks #1 with us. The only thing that could possibly be improved on would be a somewhat shorter walk to the beach, but even that wasn't a problem.
