Beach Condo Newly Renovated

We had wonderful stay. The beach was beautiful and uncrowded. The condo’s proximity to the pool and beach is amazing.We would rate 10/10 upon checkout despite a few minor issues. Checkin/out was a breeze. One of the minor issues was that the washer and dryer do not work well. We had to wash clothes twice and dry them twice. This wasn’t a big issue for us as we were just grateful to have a washer and dryer (you will find out why I’m mentioning this later in the post.) The pans stocked in the kitchen appear to be cephalon and scratched heavily. I drove to target to buy a pan to cook eggs rather than use any of the ones supplied (I realize this is a preference issue.)The TV in the bedroom glitched out and we were unable to fall asleep watching TV as we do at home. Not a big deal!A week after we checked out, we received a message from the owner inquiring about a missing sofa pillow and pink stains on white towels rather than a thank you for choosing our condo which I am accustomed to. I was very surprised. We knew nothing about the missing pillow or stained towels. My advice to anyone that rents this condo is to report all issues to the owner no matter how small. We did not message about the washer and dryer bc it wasn’t a big deal to us, but then we got blamed for stains on towels. In fact, we didn’t message the owner once during our stay as all were minor inconveniences.

This property was definitely among our top rentals. Other than a few personal preferences, it was perfect. We are learning that with any vacation rental, small updates can enhance a family's stay. The host was quick to communicate and answer any questions. We had a great week!

The condo met all of our expectations. The condo was clean and well stocked. We had a couple of small problems when we first arrived but the owner, David, responded immediately and rectified everything. During our month long stay, we were joined for a week by our youngest daughter and her family. The kids really enjoyed the bedroom on the first floor. I would absolutely rent this unit again.

We had a terrific time at this property as a family. Highly recommended, but quick notes:Starting with the pros: The property is in a great location, easy access off of A1A, 25 minutes into St. Augustine, and the grounds are beautifully maintained. The beach is massive and flat, especially at low tide. And the owners completely gutted this property down to the studs and rebuilt it. The finished product looks modern and beautiful. Main floor is open, deck has a nice view of the pool, beach is a 1 minute walk from the front door, and the property has two large Masters. Owners are excellent to work with and saved our vacation due to a snafu at another property 1 week out. Property has a one car garage, which is great, but we have an oversized SUV which wouldn’t fit well due to a couch being in the garage. Parking outside was not an issue for us, as most of the neighbors parked outside anyway. Cons: The lower level is accessible only via door to the garage, lower patio entrance, or circular staircase, which can be tricky unless you’re using it for kids. The bathroom down there is a half bath in the garage. Door to the garage doesn’t lock, but door in the garage to the outside does, as well as internal patio door to the outside. We had two older teenage boys down there and they loved it, but I wouldn’t put small children down there due to the locking/bathroom situation, or elderly due to the circular staircase. Ultimately, we highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
