We very much enjoyed our time at the St. Augustine Rose. We gave it a 4/5 just cause there’s room for improvement in very minor areas, but overall the property is true to the listing. The location is great with a 2min walk to beach access. The beach is beautiful! Sandy beach that is combed of shells with refreshing ocean water. We had a tide pool that was the best kiddie play area we could ask for and our older kids loved boogie boarding in the waves. We loved the pool that was treated perfect and felt clean without burning our eyes and skin from chemicals. Downtown was about a 20 min drive and was very interesting and charming. A couple of suggestions for the property itself; a quick power wash of the pool and screened in area would make a big difference. Covers for the screened in area furniture- we were not able to use the furniture since it rained on on our first day and they stayed damp for the whole week. Cushions should probably be replaced soon as there were many stains. The driveway is at at least a 45 degree angle so my family members car kept getting scrapped pulling into and out of the driveway. Those of us with SUV’s had no problem but had to use our emergency break due to the extreme slope. The ice maker on the fridge was broken but the water dispensed nice cold filtered water. The inside was very nice and updated. Kitchen was updated and fully stocked. Living rooms and bedrooms were comfy. Overall very happy!

Beautiful home. Enjoyed spening time with my children and grandchildren. We have family in the area that we visit, so it makes it more special. A lot of stairs, would have been nice to use the elevator.

Had to involve the management company too many times for items such as wrong entry code upon arrival, broken bed, missing coffee pot, empty propane tank. Additionally, to charge to rent beach chairs when you are walking distance to the beach is absurd. I have been renting beach homes for decades and never have been charged. Also, please note… if your house says sleeps 15, have 15 beach towels, 8 doesn’t work. All in all, the management company was very responsive and took care of things on a timely basis.

Everything was clean and comfortable for our stay and we truly appreciated the fast response from our host. It was a wonderful stay! Thank you

Overall was ok but property management didn't have correct code for checking in, broken things in the home and just overall way too worn down and not upkept.

We rented this property for a family reunion and also to experience the Night of Lights. The house is set up exactly like it is shown in the pictures as far as number of beds. However the common areas are a little bit smaller than expected. We loved sitting on the upstairs porch where you could hear the waves and see the ocean. The kitchen is a very nice size and made it easy to cook for a large group. We also enjoy the fire pit and the heated pool. The downstairs covered area had moldy cushions and look like it needed to be cleaned. But other than that the rest of the property was very nice and well-kept. Our only real complaint is the sheets on the beds were very uncomfortable. But otherwise we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back!

We live about 45 minutes away from this property and were looking for a staycation place to fit the whole family. This did meet the needs of our room/bathroom needs and the inside was clean and relatively updated. I could see where out of state guests looking to visit the beach would enjoy this property - it is walking distance to the beach and has a pool. However, being from the area we felt it was significantly over priced for the quality of the property. The pool is very small. We had an issue with the pool pump not properly working and the water was cloudy the day we got there. We communicated with the property manager through the app with minimal response to the issue. Finally I looked up the phone number to the property manager and called because the pool was getting to be very cloudy and we were concerned it was unsanitary. It took five days of our vacation for them to get someone out to fix and clean the pool. That was very frustrating. Other small things that could make this property better for guests: less air fresheners and better mattress protectors. There were so many air fresheners inside that it was nauseating. Additionally, each mattress is covered in a plastic mattress protector which is absolutely understandable. The problem is that the sheets are so thin, you’re basically sleeping on plastic and sweating all night. It’s not ideal. We likely would not rebook this same property and would probably not recommend it. It was just ok and for the price you want it to be more than ok.

A nice house just smaller than we thought. The kitchen was great, very well stocked. The beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pit ( no fire because wood got wet when it rained) and visiting. We had a couple of problems that were taken care of very quickly after contacting the owner. One suggestion is to provide a something to prevent a fall in the bathtub/shower on 2nd floor. It was very slippery and nothing to grab on to. The location was good. The out door elevator, which we did not know about until we arrived was a big help. The pool was well used. It was a good weekend.
