I can't thank Catrina enough for creating such a wonderful space for our vacation. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness in meeting the needs of her guests are truly commendable. The decor is beautifully done, making us feel right at home. The house itself, along with its great location, made for a fantastic stay. We would love to return!

Excellent experience! Perfect location (& layout) for a long overdue reunion. Spotless home w all the amenities we'd need. Catrina was very communicative & helpful!

This house was perfect all around! We had a group of 8 people and 2 dogs and stayed 3 nights. The house was very clean and had plenty of room! It is in a quiet neighborhood and everything you need is just a short drive/walk away (Restaurants, grocery stores, starbucks, souvenir shops). The beach is also just a short 3 minute drive as well and the St Augustine shopping area is about 15/20 minutes away. The house has everything you need to be comfortable and is exactly as shown in the pictures. We would definitely recommend this house and would love to stay here again next time we visit!
