Great location, close to everything in St Augustine. Walk to beach, restaurants and close to old town. Quiet neighborhood and heated pool. Great Family retreat!

The house is great as is the location but they are not very clear about the " heated pool “ or the "3rd" bedroom. The pool was cold and we were told that we should have given 72 hours notice for the heat to be turned on. It says this NOWHERE that I can find which means it is not clearly stated. The listing says HEATED pool. I asked for it to be turned on at that point but was refused, why? The 3rd bedroom is a sitting room of the other bedroom with a sleeper sofa, was not comfortable. Shouldn’t be listed as a bedroom without a bed in it. There is plenty of room so they should just put a bed in there. Other than that our stay was fun the place is old but well kept the backyard is very cool.

Property was as promised. Beds were comfy and the pool in the back was great for those days we weren’t at the beach. Location is close to downtown St Augustine and the beach. Would recommend!

To come back when you’re done visiting the beach just to get into the heated pool is the best feeling. The cleanliness has been top notch both visits, and the pool guy has come both times, so you know it is well maintained.

We have loved our time at this amazing rental home. The beach is just steps away and the included surfboard was such a thoughtful touch. The backyard plunge pool was just what we needed with five kids ages 5 to 13. I highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to come back!

The house is a cute little bungalow located across from beach access. There is a short walk across the road to the beach. We spent most of our time going out in the old city at night and relaxing by the pool or on the beach during the day. There a Publix's very close. Realistically you could ride or walk almost anywhere. Our trip was a girls trip of 5 women. There were 2 bed rooms with a back room we used as an extra bedroom that has a pull out couch and door that closes. We also used the living room couch sofa bed. There is a twin bed in the pool house/room area but I really only think a kid would want to stay in there. The pool was great. It was very cold when we got there. The manager turned on the heater which did help but took a day and a half to make a difference.
The only issues we had were minor. Had to call for extra sheets for the sofa beds but they did bring them. Also there was no info on trash pick up and when we got there the trash was already full. Also everyone was a little congested while in the house so maybe some issues with mold/ allergeans but nothing obvious, no smells or sightings of anything . Figure this may just be part of being in Florida with all the humidity and flooding they get.
Overall it was a great place. Felt we all fit well with enough space. There was great outdoor eating and places to relax. Would definitely come back.

Very clean spacious house. It was my first time staying in a rental house compared to hotels and I loved it!! Never again will I vacation in a hotel room!! Everything was smooth from the time I checked in and checked out!! I wish checkout was a littler later than 10am but that’s me!!

Loved our stay! Great location and very clean and comfortable. The private backyard was relaxing. The pool was not heated when we were there but we soaked up the sun. Enjoyed a game of Uno each evening with the family. Loved being about to walk next door for breakfast and easy carry out. Walked across the street for easy access to the beach. We had a question on the the lock and received a very quick response. Definitely would recommend. We had a family of 5 and it was perfect.

Pros:
Very clean
Lovely private back yard
Great proximity to the beach
Comfortable space
Comfortable bed in primary bedroom
Vacasa responsive to help texts, calls and fixing problems
Lots of beach chairs and towels
Easy check in
No local recommendations, info etc like you get with most vacation rentals
Cons:
Pool pump broken upon arrival and notified 4 hours after checking in (fixed on day 5 of 8 day stay)
Air conditioning died one early morning and was fixed by 7:15 pm same day - it was 87 in the house by the time it got fixed
Very uncomfortable bed in second bedroom (multiple reviews mentioning this)
Beach umbrella was broken upon arrival
Cabana is definitely not an appropriate bedroom as advertised (smells, very stuffy, Bed not made upon arrival)
3 conflicting sets of checkout instructions (VRBO (booking), Vacasa (property management) and posted on the wall in the house

This is our second time renting this property and we love it. Will definitely try to get it again when we come back to St Augustine. Darling Cottage that looks like the pictures, a short walk to the beach, awesome pool and comfortable mattresses (we slept great). Definitely our favorite place to stay (we come every year)

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The proximity to the beach was fantastic and the pool was a nice added amenity. Close to a ton of bars, restaurants, cafes, and shops. Only 10-15 min drive from Old Town. We did not have trouble getting an Uber to and from. Beautifully updated, spacious, and comfortable. Our only wish is that we could’ve stayed longer!

The view and location were amazing! We would definitely stay here again. Only issues were the grill didn’t work, there weren’t any bikes as listed, the deck needed stained (splinters), and the pool house smelled of mold. The perks are LOCATION!! Also, a beautiful home, so many amenities to utilize. We enjoyed wine on back porch and coffee during our morning beach stroll. It was an amazing stay! Thank you.

Thank you for sharing this AWESOME property. We had the best time ever.. swimming, fishing, and just chillen'. The house was comfortable and felt like a home that options for everyone, from family movie time to separate "space" time, to family fun in the oasis back yard, also located accessible to shopping, beaching, or downtown life. Looking forward to another visit soon!

This little house was very cute and fit our family's needs - two adults and two teens. There are two bedrooms and two living areas with pull out sofas. Overall the place was large enough for our family of four. Having the pool was nice when we wanted to get a break and the covered back porch was wonderful for watching the rain. This is an older house so if you have an expectation of large and spacious areas you should reframe your perspective. If you like 50s / 60s cottages then this is your cup of tea. The location of the house is convenient to the beach, the pier, and to some really cute dining establishments. We enjoyed listening to the music from Salt Life in the evening if you are on the back deck.
We had to work with the property manager on two separate issues (very loose bedroom door knob and a broken lamp) and they were responsive and helpful for both incidents. The house was clean when we arrived however I would recommend that the cleaning crew dust the air vents from time to time.
One point of caution regarding the wood deck - splinters. We would highly recommend not walking barefoot on them as we had two major splinter incidents during our stay with each splinter being about an inch long. Thankfully we had packed a first aid kit and all was well but the decking is wood and it is subjected to Florida weather and a pool.
Overall we really loved this house and would highly recommend it! Its a true gem.

Stayed June 6-13th. House was clean and well appointed. Pool is great and location was very convenient. Would recommend any property managed by Turn Key. They were awesome to deal with and very responsive. My only suggestion would be to organize kitchen better.

We spent 3 days at Anastasia Lodge having a bachelorette weekend. There were 7 of us total. This is a great location. The pool in backyard was essential and pretty much where we hung out. Lots of room and space to spread out. I would recommend a beach cart if you plan to go to the beach. It is about a 7 minute walk if you use the cross walks. The beach is beautiful and there is a large splash pad. You are right by the pier but it is $2 per person to enter the pier. You are at minimum 15 min to the main downtown part of st Augustine depending on traffic which can be nuts at certain times of the day. Take an Uber!
The house itself is pretty private. It was quiet and the pictures are accurate. We all slept comfortably. There was a bed in the little pool house but it’s more like a massage table and the pool house has a very strong chemical smell. Can’t imagine sleeping in there. There is a 1/2 bath in the pool house which was nice. The kitchen is fully stocked. It has a single bullet blender and no crock pot or cutting board (at least I never found them). We had to call and request extra washcloths, a sponge, and trash bags and they were all brought right over. The home is beautifully decorated and again looks like the pictures. 2 queen beds and 2 queen sleeper sofas.
Now for just a few negatives. Seems like the cleaning crew needs some attention to detail. The bedspreads and pillow shams all need to be washed. The ones in master room leading to pool especially! There were food crumbs under the dining table and some other random places that got missed. The front of the refrigerator had not been cleaned for a while. I think the floors needed a good mop. Maybe they just got vaccuumed but need to be mopped and I only found a broom and a bottle of Windex. The outside trash was an issue. It was so full from the previous renters it was hard to find a place to put any of our trash. 2 cans and 2 recycle bins were packed when we got there. Not sure if the trash didn’t get taken out on the prior Monday but it smelled bad and was right next to the grill. Not sure if we were required to recycle but if we are 2 cans inside should be provided. One for trash one for recycle.
To address previous reviews..the towels and sheets were all clean and fresh. Both beds were very comfortable so maybe one of the mattresses got changed. I did not sleep on either sofa but no one complained about them.
Overall weekend was great!

This is our 4th year staying at this perfect house. Normally we stay for our anniversary minus kids, but because traveling was so limited this year we decided to bring our little one along. As much as we’ve enjoyed it as our adult getaway we enjoyed it just as much as a family getaway. The location is PERFECT. The amenities are PERFECT. There is nothing we would change and we are already looking at our calendars to get next year scheduled. Thank you SO much for sharing your beautiful home with us. We sincerely appreciate it.
