St. Augustine Beach Community

They were awesome!

Nice little apartment. Cleanliness and stocking was good. Our only complaint was the sleeper conch is uncomfortable, the bathroom floor was pretty sticky and the shower drain was very slow. Nice spot though, and good pool and beach access.

This is a great condo complex in our favorite section of Butler Beach, St Augustine Beach. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thank you host Dawn!

We will attempt to summarize our stay with pros and cons. Pros:The location was great, as was the apartment layout, and the complex was secure. Cons:  1. Poor communication. We had to ask for the "welcome" information minutes before check in. It was not given in advance.  2. Ease of locating the property. If the name of the community was given [at the time of writing this, it was not] it would have helped us find the complex sooner. 3. Security gate. We could not enter the gate with the provided code. We asked the owner multiple times and did not get an answer back until hours later. The response was that the property was having issues with the gate. We had to let someone else let us in on every occasion. 4. Cleanliness. When we entered the apartment it smelled like cats and was dusty [my partner is allergic, he started having a reaction]. The floor was dirty, cat hair was found everywhere, we swept the apartment [There was a lot]. Also, we found other people's hair on the bed sheets. I am not allergic to cats, but the dust was problematic. I've stayed at pet friendly places before and never had this problem. 5. No access to amenities. The unit advertised pool and beach access. However, it was not disclosed in our welcome information that a gate key would be needed for every amenity. The key was not provided. We asked for a key and received no response. Reaching the beach became a challenge. We had to rely on residents passing by. The issues above were never resolved.
