Step through your sliding glass doors out onto your patio where you will find a bistro table and four chairs. Your gated patio overlooks the inviting pool. It is fun to enjoy your morning cup of coffee out on this patio as you watch the breathtaking sunrise. Or, better yet, take the boardwalk down to the shore and watch the sunrise there. Incredible beauty! While staying at Beacher’s Lodge 105 be sure to take in area attractions like the Alligator Farm, Marineland, Ponce de Leon’s Fountain of Youth, historic St. Augustine (America’s very first city), and the Intracoastal Waterway with its kayaking, canoeing, hiking trails, and bird watching opportunities. There are so many things to do when you stay at Beacher’s Lodge 105 and you will want to experience them all! Make today the day you book your preferred dates at Beacher’s Lodge 105 in Saint Augustine, Florida. Visit once and you will want to return again and again!

Stay was good, but did not like the cost to use VRBO and realestate. Never talked to a owner & cost of what we got was to high. Also did not like the cancellation policy.
Sorry but will never agree to do it again.

I have stayed at Beachers lodge before but not poolside. I loved the access to the pool right off the room. Could of used a really good deep clean but all in all I really enjoyed it. Bed was comfy and plenty of room to move around. Close to restaurants and the ice cream shop which we went every night! Will be back!

We really enjoyed our stay. The one suggestion would be to put a mat in the shower for less slippage. Great location to beach and pool.

good for what we wanted !
It was a great place ! The pool closes at 8 PM, which is both good and bad; The air conditioners are loud, but aren't they always ? Little things like the ceiling fan chain was missing so I couldn't turn it off, the light in the fan in the bedroom was burnt out, and I had no idea how to replace it, and looked like a non-standard bulb anyway; and towels aren't included, there isn't a money changer in the laundry and being a holiday, the banks were closed so we had to make do with one set of towels for a week. Other than that, a great place to stay !

Ocean front on pool deck
Wonderful location and being on pool deck is perfect for kids. Good restaurants nearby and the best pizza right across the street!
Bring your own toilet paper, trash bags and extra towels as the hotel does not supply the room, you only have what's in the unit when you arrive.

For the price that is charged for cleaning, the room was not very clean. They even left out used bar soap on the soap dishes. I guess for us to reuse. Which is very unsanitary. You should not be doing that before Covid but specially not now. The extra blankets left to be used did not smell clean either and they towels and wash rags were all stained up. It is a bit ridiculous they close the pool do early too. Other than that we love staying at beaches lodge.

We stayed here for a week in April with our two kids. We loved the property--right on the beach, we loved the ground-floor access to the pool (great for children). If we returned to St. Augustine, we would consider returning to Beacher's Lodge, but we would not return to this unit itself. The photos make it look a lot nicer than it is. The sheets and towels were nice, but kitchen was very poorly stocked. Would be fine if you planned on eating out most of the time, but it was very hard to cook because the frying pans were terrible and it was lacking in lots of utensils. It would be manageable for a couple, but I wouldn't recommend for a family with kids.
Also, although laid out in the rental agreement, I think it's crazy that they hardly give you any toilet paper, soap, paper towel, etc. and you are expected to buy your own. (I don't know if this is more common on VRBO, because we have mostly used (different), but we have never been expected to buy our own before. We have a rental and would never expect guests to travel with or have to buy toilet paper). There was also nothing to wash the dishes with or a dishcloth, until we asked.
Also, I think besides the kitchen, some money could be invested back into the property to provide some "extras." If you are driving here and have space to bring beach towels, chairs, sand toys, etc. then you would be fine (we did bring all of this), but if we were flying down, we would pick a place that was stocked.
The place was not super well cleaned (floor turned barefeet black immediately, found crackers on the floor, unwashed dishes back in the cupboard, hair down the drain, two cockroaches, etc). I did ask about the floor and they insisted it had been washed. Please note that I have pretty high cleanliness standards, and if you don't, then you probably wouldn't be as bothered. The bathroom was clean, sheets clean, carpet in bedroom vacuumed, so it wasn't awful.
The internet did not work very well at all. When we emailed the rental company they told us to "call the 800 number of the HOA" which was nowhere in our paperwork and then when we followed up, they suggested we "reset our devices." The internet problem meant the TV never worked either, but we didn't really intend on watching it, so it wasn't an issue for us, but if that was important to you, it might be frustrating.
I'm sorry if it seems like I am complaining a lot, but I want to provide an honest review. Would recommend the condo for sure.

Nice location, small older condo for 2 or couple and child, place has everything you need but is no lush hotel which is fine by me, everything worked and was clean, the privacy with location on pool deck might be a problem for some but i left the curtain open in days to enjoy the sunshine and wasnt a problem, a sheer for the sliding door would be a nice addition, or you could bring one and use tacks or tape, the curtain is a blackout one and if closed during day its dark and depressing so let the sun shine in )

Needs a good cleaning. Patio door lock is broken with a pole to keep it closed.
Ok to stay just a week but we stayed a month. Not enjoyable. The washer near us was broke the whole time we were there. We ended up finding a laundromat.

DO NOT RENT
We rented for 5 nights. Out of the 5 nights 3 the ac wall unit in the living room did NOT work, this is the area where the sofa bed is located. The wall unit in the MB had to over compensate for the other unit that didn't help at all and would stop working. We contacted Mgmt and were told someone would be out to look at the unit. Noone contacted us to notify that they had looked at the same. When I called the emergency number we were told that the unit would need to be replaced and it won't be done until after our stay. I tried calling Sandy several times once the office opened on Monday and she told me she would call me back, that never happened. I called again from a different phone number and spoke with Marty, utterly rude individual, who told us we needed to wait for them to investigate and that the unit is currently not being rented due to the building being remodeled. After all this he gave me the wrong email address for him and all. Again tried contacting them to see what resolution can be done, AGAIN DODGING my phone calls had to call from my office number for them to answer. Their solution was 1/3 reimbursement of one night's stay. They didn't care that one of us was sleeping in a room hotter than 78 at night due to their negligence. Beware if you decide to rent. We didn't even complain of the musty smell and crust carpet in the master bedroom. Would never rent from them again and will inform BBB.

The unit is nice enough. Very close to the beach and the pool, so lots of foot traffic by your patio door. The pool was cleaned every day. Would definitely consider staying here again. Maybe in the off season too.

The property was great minus the sliding door. We loved our stay, but we hope they finally take the time and money to fix the sliding door.

The location is great was wonderful being close to the pool and great views lovely stretch of beach. Ample bedding very small rooms definitely not comfortable for more than two adults. Also not spacious for larger body-types. It was perfectly acceptable for us as we wanted to be out most of the time.

Pros: The view was great and it was a short walk to the beach.! The property was available when others were booked up. Check in was easy and it had keyless entry.
Cons: The biggest cons are the unwelcome surprises. Follow this to avoid them and make a decision on if this property is for you. First, the property was listed at $xxx per night but after fees, including a large surprise fee that came directly from VBRO the room totaled $xxx per night (VBRO would not post my review with specific pricing but it doubled after fees). In hind sight I would have preferred to stay at a nice hotel on a near by beach. Next, the contract, make sure you request it BEFORE you submit your payment, which is non-refundable. It is a few pages long and has some odd items in it such as unannounced inspections, and things not to do or else you will be charged more fees. This should be part of your decision on if this is the property for you.
Finally, the facility feels old and the neighborhood is low income.

The toilet ran 24/7, no one could fix it without us not having use of a toilet. There were no other units available. There were no hotels with vacancies. Toilet lid closed, bathroom door closed, TV and air turned on……. Yep, still could here the toilet running. We were unable to sleep for 8 nights!
A measly $100 refund.
The people before us had to have noticed, even the cleaning crew had to have noticed. We should never have been put in a unit that had that problem. Along with the fact that we could t get in touch with anyone from Friday until Monday morning, there was no emergency contact number for nights or weekends. I sent an email Saturday and still had to all Monday morning to talk to someone about the issue. We left so that someone could come to supposedly fix the problem, when we got back, toilet still running No one called to inform us that anyone had been there, so we had to call to find out that……wait for it……the toilet will be running for the entirety of your vacation!
Nope, big ol’ fat ZERO!!!! This is a high turnover low response company, with no compassion for the vacationers.
