Property was exactly as advertised and great location. As a former St. A resident it was super to be able to visit old haunts. Right across the street from the Conch House with live music and walk to downtown. Enjoyed!

We arrived at the home to pee covered towels under the carpeting, feces on the side of one of the toilets and a dishwasher that smelled so bad it was unusable. Regardless of all that, we were just thrilled to be on vacation and planned to overlook the cleaning issues. Then on our 3rd night at the property, the AC stopped working. We informed the property manager right away but a whole second day went by with no air conditioning. When my husband asked why they had not been out to fix the issue, we were told that the only 24 hour company was unavailable. When he responded with other companies that did provide 24 hour service, the property manager responded with "oh, I guess you did your research." They proceeded to bring us portable units that smelled horrible and leaked all over the floors. The reduced the temperature to a cool 82 degrees and were so loud we couldn't even watch a movie. On day 3, still no AC, we spoke with Dave. I was extremely disappointed in his disposition and lack of urgency for our situation. At one point he said "It's not that bad!" At this point the temperature in the house was 84 degrees and we had lost a full day of our once per year vacation dealing with these issues. Dave proceeded to tell us we could either leave and find another house or wait and receive credit for one day. We decided to leave and were told we would need to vacate by 5pm to receive credit for our stay. Horrible treatment for a family just trying to enjoy their vacation.

We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! We walked to a nice dinner at Conch House and walked to Juicy for some fantastic healthy breakfast bowls! Spent a day in the ancient city as well as Anastasia Island. The Saturday farmers market at the amphitheater was fun too. The house was very cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. We spent our last day lounging by the pool. Over all, a great experience!

The top attribute I need to mention about this property is the cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless inside and out. Very evident the owner's use the property themselves and care about it. The location was excellent, the kitchen was well-appointed, and we all loved the pool. Would definitely recommend.

This house was perfect for us! It was a short drive to the beach access and a short drive to downtown. The house was very comfortable, and perfect for the 2 of us and our dog!

This house was really cute and the location is very convenient, however there is no walkable beach nearby. It is a short drive to the beach and also to downtown historic St. Augustine. The kitchen is very well stocked, probably the best of any vacation rentals we’ve stayed at. The property management company called while we were on our way to ensure we had the check in code, etc and were very attentive. That being said, I couldn’t give this a 5 star rating because the house and the pool definitely need some TLC, especially the AC. The pool needs to be resurfaced, there are huge chunks of the floor missing and it’s rough. The AC also needs desperate help. I’m a born and raised Floridian so I’m used to the FL heat, but the AC is either very old and needs to be updated or is not big enough for the house. I’m sure it’s fine during the winter time, but in the middle of summer it was rough. And we kept the blinds closed and were out of the house most of the day so there is no reason for the AC not to cool properly if it is up to date. Again, the house is very cute, very well stocked but the pool & AC need help soon!

Filthy roach/bed beetles invested & hot as hell
It was horrible. It was filthy. It was roach & bed bug or bettles of some sort in single bed on left under sheet and mattress protector. Nest infestation of those located by my 12 yo granddaughter. Roaches on my Mellow Mushroom pizza when I returned to the kitchen for another slice 🤮 I sent pictures in previous email. She also found an ironing board that fell out of the wall and made a goose egg on her forehead. A smaller child could have been injured worse. The air conditioning unit is not adequate for the house. It was hot as hell inside. I was exhausted from waking up in a puddle of sweat multiple times a night so we left Wednesday a day early. Gladly. I will never rent another property from Sunshine realty. I have never had such a horrible experience.
And did I mention the place is visibly filthy and stunk. Gross.
I do NOT recommend.
Sincerely,
Rhonda Dexter

This property was a great spot to relax and use the pool during some hot Florida days! The neighborhood was safe for evening walks with my dog and just a short drive to the beach!

It was nice to find a whole house with a private pool very close to downtown and beaches. Wish the pool was heated. A bit too cold for the adults, but the kids did some swimming. Only one of the showers had hot water. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

convenient but dated property
Property was not ready well after the approved check-in time, however, cleaners were very, very nice & apologetic (even tho not their fault). We even had to fold/put away last load of towels. Mgmt did call to let us know of the cleaning mix-up, but have not called to offer any type of compensation. House is very old and shows it: door knobs don't work, ceiling fan noisy & should be replaced, moldy shower curtains, rusty vents, molding is dinged up, torn sheets, smells musty - it needs a face-lift. Decorated nicely and very convenient to downtown & attractions. Pool looked nice but unfortunately it was too cold for us to use.

Totally enjoyed our stay
Pictures are just as they showed. Pool was awesome this time of year. We were in it every day and sometimes twice a day. Beds are very comfortable. Everything you would need in the kitchen. Lots of beach things available in garage even though listing says they don't provide. Had great time exploring the area. Property management available with any problems and fixed quickly. Would definitely rent again.

A/C doesn’t keep up with set temp. Set on 74 but inside temp was 84. My son vacuumed the coils and it ran much better.
You’re welcome!!
Other than the A/C, it was great! This makes my 5 stay here with family.

Great location
Location was perfect. Pictures are better than the actual place, could use some TLC. Owners should be the guests and stay in their own place for a week.
AC was main problem but luckily we went out everyday. Pool was wonderful but needs some resurfacing, didn’t know if it was cleaned before we got there since pool cleaners were scheduled for Monday and got there on Friday, the day before we left. Master beds mattress pad was concave on either side so I felt like I was sunken in. The sunshine please pillow is now well worn and should be replaced.
Within walking distance to restaurants and quick to get to town. Great town to visit with a lot to do.
