Driftwood Retreat-Brand New 4 Bedroom Pool Home

There are multiple pros with this property and only a couple of cons. Pros: The house is a very short and easy walk to the beach. The beach is in a perfect location with very few people on the beach even on the weekends. The pool at the house while small was very enjoyable. For our family of 4 it worked, but would be too small for more people in it at one time. It was a very quick drive into St. Augustine. Cons: The house could use some updates. It would be nice to have a keurig and not just a coffee pot. The master bathroom toilet lid and seat are worn. There is a broken towel rack that has not been fixed in the other bathroom. Many of the bathrooms only have sliding doors which does not offer enough privacy. For one week this rental was well over 5,000 which is priced higher than nicer homes in the same area. The outside furniture is rusted and needs updated. It advertised having a beach umbrella and chairs which it does, but they are very worn and rusted. I will say if you have small children there are many items of benefit at the house. Multiple pack and plays, a high chair, kids toys, extra lockable fencing around the pool and much more. It seemed like they cater more to families with young kids versus adults. Overall we have paid less money for much nicer rentals at various beaches.

We just got back from a 5-night stay at Driftwood Retreat with our two sons (7 & 4) and it was exceptional! The pictures are accurate and the home is beautiful. Property: Everything is in great shape. Furniture was nice, the beds were extremely comfortable, kitchen equipment is good shape, etc. Having a strong working ice machine with the fridge was a huge plus. The pool was obviously a favorite for our kids. They swam every day, morning and after the beach. Optional heating, but not needed in mid-June. Having the back adorned with actual driftwood was a nice touch living up to the name.Location: Very short walk to the beach. 2-3 minutes. There is a fun little trail from the end of the street to the public beach access. Wide enough to lug a beach cart through it every day. There is even a hidden aloe plant on it that became useful after one particularly sunny day. The only downside is having to cross the street to get to the beach. Usually, we were able to cross immediately, and we never had to wait more than a minute. However, if you have little ones, just be extra careful. Location was perfect for restaurants and downtown St Augustine. Aunt Kate's and Cap's are a 2-minute drive. And plenty of fun only 10-15 min away in downtown. Communication: Grayson was extremely responsive. The house was available a few hours early and she let us know. She also messaged back quickly when contacted.All in all, amazing stay and highly recommend it! Thanks Matt and Grayson!

We had a very comfortable stay in the beautiful home, enjoyed the pool and neighborhood, and explored St. Augustine. Thank you! Kathleen

Great stay at this well taken care of property, clean and up dated. Great location to everything. They could use a better gardener.
