Home was amazing- loved the back yard! Very true to the pictures. Beach was very clean and just a short walk to enjoy.

We loved the house, pool, and outdoor grill. House was very clean and welcoming when we arrived. Short walk to the beach although you do have to cross A1A to get there so we were hesitant to go at night since the road is rather busy. We would definitely stay again!

What a fantastic setup, the pool and deck/fireplace area. Excellent for escaping the heat!
The inside is even more lovely, very comfortable beds, perfectly setup for a family to enjoy. Neighborhood was very quiet and a very easy walk to the beach.

Loved the house and pool. We were able to walk to the beach easily. The new public boardwalk is close and very nice. Outside area was great to hang out in. We did have some power issues when we arrived but it was fixed within an hour. I was disappointed about not having the hot tub heated. I messaged through VRBO 3 days before I wanted it on and they did not message me back in time to be able to turn the heat on. Everything else was great, but if you want the hot tub heated I suggest calling way ahead of time.

The property itself and location are nice. Crescent Beach is beautiful w/natural wildlife and a soft sandy beach w/fine sand and nice rolling wave break.
This would've been a 5-star review except for the inability of the property ownership/management to turn on the spa heat. We rented this property specifically because it had a heated pool and spa. Instructions online were to provide advance notice for the spa heat to be turned on as it costs extra. We provided 6 days notice through the Vacasa app (side note that it is annoying to have to download a separate app apart from VRBO) and additional notice on the day that we arrived. After dozens of text messages with multiple contacts, they were unable to get the spa heat turned on. They also had a natural gas vendor show up to the house who was supposed to work on the spa heat, but thought he was there to light a fireplace. All we got for this major inconvenience was our $250 payment back for the spa heat and about $130 for our troubles. IMO, this is not commensurate to the lack of an important amenity for the entire vacation.
Apart from the spa issue, the owners could improve the property by having wash cloths, beach towels, wine glasses made of glass, and access to use the bicycles locked in the garage.

The house was very well appointed and comfortable. We loved the yard and the pool. Only minus was the noise made by a next door neighbor who was building a garage.

Let's start with the positive. The home is lovely. The kitchen and living room are both nice and open. The masterbed room is great with a lovely seating porch that over looks a very beautiful backyard. The location is great for restaurants and proximity to the beach and st. Augustine city center. Now the negatives. First off a house is being built directly next door. It's not even got the roof on and the construction starts between 7 and 7:30am. They do stop around 4pm so that's good. I guess. The guest room with the bunk beds is awful. The bottom beds mattress has no support and leans to one side. Terribly low to the ground and extremely difficult for anyone other than a younger person (think 7 to 15) to get out of the bed. The top bunk is dangerously close to the ceiling fan when climbing the ladder. The front stairs and sitting porch need to be repaired. Do not,i repeat do not go out onto the front stairs or the master bedroom patio without shoes. You will get a splinter. The nails are coming out as well. The cleaning is not good. We arrived after 4 to cleaning personnel just arriving saying the previous guests had "just left" so she wasnt able to clean well. Check out is at 10am. Dust rag was left on the mantle. Used popsicle sticks left on the mantle and in one of the guest beds. The pool became cloudy and green the 2nd day we were there. Requested maintenance to come out and clean and was told they would be out Thursday. We arrived on Saturday leaving Friday morning so that wasn't helpful. It didn't look like they ever arrived really. The dishwasher was not secure and we needed maintenance for that. They arrived promptly but only because it was a safety issue. The floors weren't vacuumed and it took 5 to 6 hours to cool the house down from 80 degrees upon our arrival to finally 70 after the sun had set. I say all of that so anyone renting this home won't be blindsided. Probably wont rent this place or from VACASA again to be honest. It's a shame because the home has potential to be amazing.

We really enjoyed the house, location is excellent 2 blocks from the beach, 5 min from publix, 15 min from st Augustine, pool and outside grill were also very good, there was a construction site in the house next door that was the only negative but certainly would book again

Our family stayed here for a week and had a great time. The house was very well equipped, the pool area was set up really well for a nice relaxing trip, and the beach was super close. Our toddler loved the koi pond. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

My family and I enjoyed place. We had rented it with my sisters family. Our kids were 3, 5, 9 and 14 and everyone was happy. The house had so many amenities including games for the kids. They enjoyed corn hole and the pool floats/ toys also we found the board games fun. We used the grill and used the fire pit for s’mores. We were able to easily walk to the beach which was beautiful. The only negative was we had told them we had wanted the heat for the spa on and found out after we got there it was broken. The communication could have was better on the app. I had reached out only to get no reply. It’s better to call and talk to someone.

Close to Beach
We really enjoyed how close this home was to the beach. However the house itself was underwhelming...the spa was broken and didn't work and the route to get out to the pool was inconvenient...lots of steps. We rented the home because it had a heated spa in March...with it not working....I would have chosen a different home to rent.

Perfect girl’s weekend house!
We loved all the places to hang out with this beautiful home: in the lanai, around the fire pit, the living room and sitting by the pool. The kitchen is well stocked too. Definitely returning.

Everything was great in the home and outside. As you might gather from the other reviews, the pool is not heated as advertised. We paid the fee to have the hot tub turned on, which was a delight.

Home is perfection, BUT
House was decorating with such caring. Homey and thougt of everything. False info from rental company. Pool not heated at all. Had to get hot tub turned on and had to pay extra. We had teens with us, and counted on the pool.
I took pics for the owner. Railing broke and rental company said, we know.
House was amazing, but I will never rent under that management company again.
Also, paid cleaning fee, but We had to take out all trash and make sure dishwasher run.
Again, deceptive advertising. We stayed 5 days from 1/30

We had a great stay at this fabulous location. We enjoyed the amenities, including the spa and fire pit. With close access to Crescent Beach and St. Augustine attractions, we will certainly want to visit again.

I am unsure we’re to start.
1. Paid to have spa heated for the entire trip 4 days prior to arrival unfortunately it was not taken care of and took multiple calls until the management company changed their response from too late to ok. To have it turned on
2. The spa floor plastic cover was broken leaving a gaping hole with sharp edges, the pool guys response was be careful….
3. Arrived to a dirty pool due to not being cleaned in what had to be weeks.. (it’s not heated)
4. Fireplace did not work was told it’s only for show anyway (it’s obvious that’s not the case). Listing for the property says otherwise…
We made the best of our time there but we are completely shocked that we were offered no refund for the time without heat in the hot tub. It’s pay by the day and Vacasa didn’t have it turned on and didn’t want to have it turned on when we pointed it out. Zero communication from them regarding the issues and the amount of effort it took to have the issues resolved. I suggest the homeowner finds a more professional property management company.

Just a little flaw, the freezer wasn’t working and the small freezer was not enough, but in general great experience, we will be back, thanks and God bless you all.

We really enjoyed our stay here at the house. The set-up was perfect for young children, with all the bedrooms on one floor, the screened-in porch, and the provided baby supplies: high chair, gate, and pack & play. The kids had a blast in the pool and the setting was quiet and serene. The beach is very close, but it's better to drive there with young kids, as you have to cross the A1A and walk a bit to the nearest beach ramp.
