The propety was very nice. We spent a lot of time on the back porch which had beautiful ocean views. We also enjoyed lounging in the pool. The house was very close to historic St. Augustine. We would stay here afain and hope to in the near future.

We enjoyed everything about this house It’s a short walk to the beach I was able to enjoy the sun rise on the beach every morning The family enjoyed the heated pool and evenings on the screened porch It’s just a block A1A. giving you easy access to old town st Augustine, the alligator far, light house ,shopping and so much more We hope on staying again next year

This house is a bit dated and not as well maintained as it should be for the price. The three bedrooms and two bathrooms are very small. However, we still liked the beach, pool and screened porch. I would have given the house a 3-star review, if it were not for the property manager Vacasa. They are a train wreck. One of the two toilets in the house was broken when we arrived. Despite repeated phone calls, texts and assurances by Vacasa representatives that a plumber would be sent to fix the toilet, no plumber ever came during the entire week we were there. One Vacasa local representative even used the F word when he blamed others at Vacasa and the plumber for the lack of response. I was astounded at his lack of professionalism. I will never rent a house that is managed by Vacasa again.

Just got back yesterday - family of 5 including 3 adult children. Views from this home are fabulous! Pictures are accurate - home is well-decorated/very cute and it was clean upon our arrival. Kitchen has everything you need - we cooked every night and had no issues finding utensils, pots, pans, salt/pepper ++. Pretty sure oven was brand new. There was a good number of beach accessories (4-5 chairs, soccer tent, several balls, wagon) but we had our own. Be mindful that this is an older property but it does click the majority of the boxes for most - book this for the views and the price!! We did have a couple of issues upon arrival - 1) main door wouldn't open and sliding door wouldn't lock. 2) pool wasn't heated as I requested 3 days prior - yet Vacasa was quick to respond to my texts and sent Don who fixed everything quickly and with a great attitude! There is a resident turtle you will/should see on your walk from the home to the beach - he is an added bonus and adorable!

My wife and I and our golden retriever recently spent a very enjoyable week at the Gypsy Belle, just south of St. Augustine Beach, FL. The house was beautifully decorated and well-equipped and conveniently located near sites, shops and restaurants just up the road. Long walks on the broad and dog-friendly beach were just what we were looking for.

The pathway to a quiet and beautiful beach, great sand, quaint interior, great porch and the pool is the center of attraction! I want to give it 5 stars, but I can’t! If only the management will take care of the little things like: missing shelves in bathrooms, broken towels bars, clinging around the pool, outdoor fan broken, inside outlets not working, not enough garbage bags, only 2 tide pod’s especially when the guests are expected to wash and dry the beach towels before departure. Also, there is no way that someone can sleep in the top bunk beds because of the unstoppable ceiling fan running literally over the beds which by the way it’s a safety hazard! We had a clogged toilet when we arrived to the house, we tried to call somebody but nobody answered. We left an emergency message but nobody reached back until almost 24 hrs later, via e-mail. We were 4 adults that ended up talking turns to the only bathroom left! This was a big inconvenience. We expected at least a follow up call however, contacting Vacasa is almost impossible. Also, we were offered one extra day at 50% off due to being a day gap between us and the next guests. It took 6 e-mails back and forth with Vacasa staff as the pricing was not matching to the offer. They do not respond in real time, it takes at least a day for them to get back to you and by the time we said that we would like to book the extra day the price doubled as we reached the “4 days before the trip” mark. At that point it was not worth the trouble. Overall, we made it a good experience however, at the nightly rate we paid it could have been excellent. If these details mentioned above would be talking care of we would return to Gipsy Belle. The house has GREAT potential! If the owner reads this review we would have one suggestion: get a local Management company to look after the guests.

The property is cute and just what we were looking for but needs major maintenance. If you want a beach cottage this property fits the bill as long as things work. When we arrived the kitchen and master bath were not clean. Also, the pool was not filled up enough, windows won't stay open, sliding door stuck, garbage disposal broken, dryer broken, towel bars broken and kitchen sink leaks. Its too bad because everything else about this property is great!

This was our first time visiting St. Augustine and absolutely loved the property and location! We were close to everything. The screened porch was our favorite spot to enjoy quality family time, and we loved walking out to the beach for each sunrise. Would definitely stay here again!!

I really wanted to love this home. Unfortunately, we had an awful experience from the time we arrived until we left. The lack of cleaning was unacceptable. The refrigerator and freezer were dirty, coffee pots dirty, pool was dirty, previous guests damp swimsuits left in the home, there was trash all around the pool area and two piles of dirty laundry and sheets were left in the dryer and still wet. The AC also appeared to not be cooling. I contacted Vacasa and was told someone from local staff would reach out to me ASAP. No one ever got back to us the entire time we were there even after multiple messages to them. We kept getting the same reply. We finally got someone from Vacasa on the phone on our last night there. The temperature in the house was 80 degrees. We were told they couldn’t get anyone to come out until the following day, which was the day we were leaving. So, I genuinely hope it is rectified to the next guests. Also, the beds were the most uncomfortable we have ever slept on. The couch wasn’t any better. It takes a lot for me to complain. But, this was one of the worst experiences we have ever had with a vacation rental. It was not worth the price we paid especially considering I had to spend time cleaning upon our arrival to be able to function in the home.

The swimming pool was the best attribute. The 3 covered parking areas to keep vehicles was an extra as well. For 1050 SF, good space utilization. Kitchen fairly well equipped but a run to Publix or Walmart to purchase things may be necessary if a lot of meal preparation is performed. The TVs have a Chromecast dongle to cast your streaming services if basic Comcast cable is not desired. The place was not as clean as expected for the price. There was dog hair on the couch, outside porch rug and perhaps other places that led us to leave a day early because of allergic reaction. The beds were made with clean sheets and there were clean towels in the bathrooms. However, upon taking a load of clothes and towels down to the washer we found sheets in the washer and all manner of linens and towels in garbage bags. When it was all said and one, we probably washed more than our share because it was too difficult to parse out what was there pre-arrival and what we used. There should be a special instruction to new renters as to garbage schedule (it is included in the rental instructions but who studies that?) Three garbage cans were full but upon asking a resident about garbage pickup, we got the cans out for pickup. Back to positive aspects of the home. Don't let 1050SF of living space scare you away because the screened sunroom/porch is a wonderful gathering area for meals and games in the evening. I forgot to say how nasty the BBQ pit was....rusted out and dirty. The sitting area under cover by the pool was dirty with debris. It needed a shop vac to clean the blown debris accumulated along with the couch cushions. Overall, it was a fun time but in retrospect overpriced. Eric

Just perfect for what we wanted. The screened in porch offers a nice view of the ocean over the dune. Very brief walk over the dune and you’re on a beautiful beach. The beach house also offers covered parking for 2 cars. The beach house had all we needed for a relaxing vacation. No problems getting in; a text was sent during the day prior to checking in with the code for the lock which was user friendly. We’d go again.

Gypsy Belle was a really nice get away place. Right on the beach and with its own Pool. If you like to Ride bikes on the beach its great for the location with many different places to ride bikes to and eat. There is a Bike rental place about 2 blocks from the house so it makes it easy to rent bikes. Quint little place with a nice porch to sit down at in the morning and watch the sunrise as you drink your coffee. Really liked this place, we would defiantly stay here again. Thanks Justin

Need a getaway? A dip in the pool after a day surfing, boogie boarding or just reading on the beach? Thinking about fish tacos with a cold beverage while listening to music downtown? I have just the place for you… The rental is close to everything you may need, with the amenities. Exceptional maintenance and comfortable accommodations, make a perfect get away. Already planning my third visit next year.

Not pet OR person friendly. I read the reviews and the listing thoroughly before booking and the condition the property was in upon our arrival was unforgivable. We actually cut our vacation in half due to the state of the property. Here are just some of the things we experienced: -floors had food/debris remaining from prior guest and laminate planks don’t connect in some places throughout the house (when staying with dogs this is dangerous). -urine smell emanating from area rugs -lawn was about 6-8 inches high and impossible to let the dogs near. -we paid extra for the pool to be heated but couldn’t use it because the patio area was full of beach debris and bugs and no one appeared to have skimmed the pool in days. -kitchen cabinets had grim and fingerprints and appeared to have never been cleaned. Overall, too many pillows and bric-a-brac everywhere - generally wouldn’t be a bad thing but when not cleaned correctly or in this case ever it’s hard to look past. Finally, during and after our stay we contacted the management company about all of this and more and have yet to hear back. If you are considering this property for a pet friendly vacation, my best advice would be to find another rental.

Cozy, well stocked, clean and access to beautiful private beach!

Beach short walk and beautiful. House dated but clean. Pool small but water pristine. Outside furniture and areas by pool and screen porch dirty and need attention.

Beautiful home ON the beach. Pet friendly with pool. Just wish more attention could be made with cleanliness for the price. Bathrooms need overhaul. Outdoor living areas need more attention.

This is a older house but it grew on me with lots of charm. We enjoyed the house so much and had a blast. Thank you so much!

This property was perfect for us; in a beautiful location where the beach wasn’t too crowded and the layout of the house was great. I woke to viewing the sunrise from bed every morning and the screened in porch was perfect for meals. The heated pool made our stay more enjoyable. We were just a short drive from downtown St. Augustine. This review was submitted while the home was managed by a different property management company.

Majestic views and breathtaking sunsets are what best describes what you get to enjoy at this property. My husband, myself and our little dog baby had a beautiful stay really relaxed and enjoyed a slice of Heaven visible from the 2nd floor balcony where you can observe the sun coming up. The house has three bedrooms was clean and has plenty of linens and towels. Kitchen has a lots of utensils. All around amazing experience.
