About this house rental
Situated in Butler Beach, this lovely house for $479 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation.

Truly a beauty that must be experienced! An absolute dream beach home that offers the best of both worlds for all nature and water lovers! There are 2 smart TVs at the property: One in the living room, one in the master bedroom This home is only a short 6 min walk away from a public beach access known to few locals and it offers the feel and serenity of a private beach. A short 7 min walk in the opposite direction is the Matanzas River with boat ramp access for all of your water toys and a nice dock to enjoy stunning sunset views over the river where you can take in the splendor of natures amenities. The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins! The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself! Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house. Important info about pool heating and fees: Both the spa and the pool will be at the same temperature if you choose to heat the pool because they share the same plumbing and heater. Most people prefer a heated spa in colder temperatures to a heated pool because the spa is set to 101 degrees and the pool heater would be set to 85 degrees. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. The heating of the spa is included with your stay. If you want to heat the entire pool we have an additional heating fee of $199 plus $25 per night to maintain the temperature. If you arrive at the house and change your mind about the pool heating, the initial heating fee of $199 will not be refunded. Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled. The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup. We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern. EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

We very much enjoyed our stay near Butler Beach. the property was a great retreat and we got a lot of use out of the hot tub. Easy walk to the beach for sunrises or to the intercoastal for sunsets.
5.0
Property was great, the pool was cold (December) but the hot tub was perfect. 5th bedroom is a dining room with pull-out sofa and french doors - this confused us initially but it worked out. Kitchen needs baking sheets. Washer and dryer are fast/awesome. Walmart and Amazon delivery were both available and quick. Great stay.
5.0
Our family and friends came for a few days over Thanksgiving. They had everything we could have needed in the kitchen to make our Thanksgiving meal, even a crockpot, which was great! The proximity to the beach was great, just a short walk. About 20 min drive into downtown St. Augustine. The neighborhood is kind of your classic beach neighborhood, nothing too fancy but quiet and nice neighbors. The holiday traffic was nuts but we still enjoyed downtown and a boat tour. We really enjoyed the jacuzzi, all of the instructions were excellent.

Our group traveled to Florida in hopes of some rest and relaxation. There were 5 children ages 4-17 and there was plenty of space for them to play and for us to relax. The beds were comfortable and the pool/spa was just what we were looking for. We were able to easily get to the beach by walking. If unable to walk and carry items there are places to park or drive onto the beach within a short distance from the house. If traveling to St. Augustine, we would book again.
5.0
This place was awesome for our extended family vacation! There was more than enough room for 6 people and our little dogs. We didn't even use all the beds. It is beautifully furnished and met all our needs! The backyard is a absolute show stopper! The pool and hot tub were extremely clean and well maintained. It is a quick walk to the beach and everything else is a short drive away. The hosts were excellent and the communication was great! We had a great time and hated to leave!

This is a spacious home with a great pool and outdoor area. It was well maintained and well stocked for the most part. Our only complaints were that all of the beds were terrible. Every person in our party complained about the beds and how uncomfortable they were. So if you’re a person that needs a pillow top or memory foam mattress you’ll only find worn spring mattresses here.
The mosquitoes also tore us up, no fault to the rental for that but just be warned. Thankfully there was a Dollar General near by to purchase mosquito repellent.
Overall I’d say this is a nice place and if they upgrade their mattresses I’d stay here again.

Thoroughly enjoyed the house and our stay. Made good use of the pill and got tub. Beach Access was just across the A1A. Shopping and restaurants close by. There is a chain of stores and a pub/restaurant right on the corner although we never did get the chance to eat there. Historic St. Augustine was just a short drive from the house, about 15 minutes. Our host was great and any questions we had were responded to quickly. Would definitely return!!

We really enjoyed our stay at your property! We wish we could of stayed longer, maybe next time a whole week! Grandkids loved the pool, hot tub, and we all enjoyed the roominess and our dog enjoyed being right with us!!!

We stayed with my daughter and her children. Didn’t pay extra to heat the pool, but it was perfect. Had breakfast at the house most days and dinner out. Nice kitchen. Loved the dining/sun room area for quiet reading.

My family of 5 stayed with my brothers family of 5. 6 Kids ranging from 2-10. This house had a FANTASTIC set up for having smaller kids. Our only “complaints” (if I would even call them that) would be 1. There is no tv in the gazebo like the photo shows (the men were disappointed for basketball but it was not a big deal). 2. the power in the whole house flickers whenever you start anything (washer, dryer, AC, dishwasher). We were surprised we never blew a fuse. 3. One of the bedrooms has been converted from a garage to a bedroom but it was very well done.
We did have one issue with the pool pump leaking but once we contacted David and Patti they were out within 30 min and had it fixed within 24 hours. It also didn’t affect our swimming. We were warned to keep the noise down in the emails - we had 6 kids, Played music outside (during the day and it wasn’t excessive) and we never had anyone complain about our noise.
The house is close to the beach and there is free beach parking which was fantastic. The screened in patio is so nice! All in all - we give this place a 10/10. Would 100% stay there again. Don’t overlook this property , it really was absolutely perfection for us.

We had a wonderful week. Spent most of our time at the house in the pool. A very relaxing week.
5.0
Our vacation property felt like a home. Not a house, not a hotel. Very comfortable, very spacious. The spa was the perfect spot to end each day. Beautiful sunsets.
Butler Beach reminded us of the Isle of Palms when we were kids/teens. Laid back with family owned businesses and lots of locals.
Short drive to grocery, gas, restaurants. And putt putt! Nice easy stroll to the beach.
Both Jen and David made communicating simple and pleasant.
We would definitely stay here again!

David & Jen are truly wonderful to work with. Check in process was very easy, great communication from start to finish. House was super clean when we arrived and they allowed us to check in earlier then 4pm which was very nice! Spacious house, plenty of room for 2 families of 4 to spread out. Pool area was perfect, great space to relax after bopping around the historic downtown area. Very short walk to beach.
Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals in. We would recommend this house and would stay again if we came back to the area.

We had a good experience in this spacious home. The pool/back yard area is a huge asset. Check in/out and communication with the owner was easy. The AC is locked and regulated by the homeowner. Having a high chair and baby bed (without having to rent them) would have been a nice benefit. Nice property and we would stay again.

We had a wonderful time at Island Retreat house. It is much bigger than the pictures show and the backyard is amazing, great for our dogs. The spa and pool are impressive, and the short walk to the beach is convenient (plus the ramp to drive on the beach is just down the road). The house is nicely updated and very clean. Owner was quick to respond to any questions we had. We will definitely stay here again!

We had a lovely time at Island Time in Butler beach. The yard and landscaping was well kept. Pool and hot tub relaxing, and the outdoor gazebo with TV was perfect for entertainment while in the pool. The amount of sleeping areas and rooms was perfect for our family of 6. I am a bit of a clean freak when it comes to my house. Sadly, the cleaning crew may need some direction on attention to detail. Heavy dust, and dirt on windows and baseboards. Some of the walls have splatters of food and liquids dripped. The decor is nice but the black fingerprints on inside doors (white) make it less appealing. And the glass table in the kitchen is great minus the greasy smears. I was looking for glass cleaner to help the cleaning crew out but it wasn’t available. I would stay in one of his homes again but will probably bring my own cleaning products to make my stay more comfortable and feel at home.

Outdoor oasis and the inside is spacious!
We booked this VRBO to bring our family and a few of my son's friends over to celebrate his birthday. I was wowwed by the backyard. The pool was beautiful and large enough to accomodate my 16 year old son and his basketball buds. It has a covered area with a television as well as a spa and fire pit. It was really beautifully done. In addition, there was still a screened in porch where the teens ate the majority of their meals. Indoors, the beds were comfortable and aplenty. The baths were updated. The appliances were all very nice and new. The television was great with streaming service provided. Lastly, the location was awesome. It was a short and nice walk to the beach through a residential area so it was not very busy. Publix was 5 minutes away by car. We had a great time and are so happy to have found this place.

Family Vacation
We had a wonderful stay. The pool and outdoor tv were great after a day at the beach. We were also close to St. Augustine Beach restaurants, which was nice. Our interactions with the host were friendly and the few questions we had were answered quickly. Although the listing says it is in a neighborhood, we were not expecting it to be so residential, but it was nice and quiet.

A-MAZING
We loved everything about this house! The backyard alone was the most amazing space. Everything was just as the website stated. The owners were more than accommodating. We were very sad to leave and will definitely stay again!!!

The home was immaculate! Cleanest rental I have ever had. The back yard and the pool were perfect! A little piece of paradise. We spent more time in the pool than in the beach! The beds were very comfortable, the living room cozy and comfortable. If I could give the entire experience more than 5 stars I would!

Family Vacation
We had an amazing experience with David throughout the entire process. From the moment we chose the property we had open communication and the directions provided where invaluable!
The space is so beautiful in person and perfectly laid out for a family gathering. There was enough room for alone time when we needed quiet time, and the 3 dining areas were perfect!
If you love to cook, the kitchen has plenty of counter space, and easily fit 3 people cooking at once.
We even left a mixer we borrowed from a friend and they were quick to respond and graciously offered to look for it as soon as the new group checked out!
If you plan on cooking you may want to bring some mixing spoons and extra cutting boards, but they offered plenty of pans and pots to use!
The location is perfect and there is even a boat dock at the end of the street that is perfect for watching a sunset! Hot tub instructions were very simple, the instructional video was a great touch!
Highly recommend the property and the interaction with the property owners, will definitely be coming back!

Fabulous Vacation!
This property worked very well for our family vacation. We had six adults and four boys from the age of 8 to 13. The listing was accurate. There had been a couple of furnishing upgrades since the photos were taken but that was all positive nothing negative. The weather at the beach for the week was certainly not typical weather for this time of the year and the area. It was such a relief to have the hot tub and pool and the privacy fence shield from the wind so we could still enjoy the full week outside. To say that David and Patti and their staff are very attentive would be an understatement. We needed to contact them for various reasons three different times. Each time the response happened in less than an hour from the time that I put in the contact. I'm sure it's not possible for them to do that 100% of the time but we felt that we were very valued because of the way that they treated us. Everything about this host was professional and I would not hesitate one second booking this property again or additional properties with them. Thanks so much David, Patti, and the team! We do so appreciate all of your effort and recognize it as being the best that we have ever experienced !
