House was great for our short trip to St. Augustine. About 10-15 minutes from the historical area. The house was equipped with most needs ( a few more cleaning supplies and garbage bags would have been nice). The house was a few blocks from the ocean, straight shot from closest East West cross street bonus you can drive on the beach with the appropriate vehicle. The downstairs game room was great. We didn't use the pool, but the whole outdoor area is well equipped for the whole family. We would definitely rent this property again it was a quiet location but close enough to everything we wanted to do.

This was a great stay. The house was exceptionally clean and furnished with an in-ground pool, fenced in yard and super close to the Butler Beach and a Cuban cafe for early morning coffee or a Mexican restaurant for some quick eats. Everything is supplied and in great shape. All you need are groceries, sun block and a fun attitude. There’s a great putt-putt course down the road and lots of places along the beach to swim and surf in, grab shells or sea glass, and walk the estuary. I’d recommend you bring your bikes if so inclined. I was trying to book again, but they’re already booked so if you see the week you want, grab it. This place was a real gem. I’m a single dad with two teens and a little dog and it was worth every mile and dollar to be here. We had the best time!!

We really were pleasantly surprised by this house since we chose on the way to St. Augustine when our first choice ran into an issue. Vacasa took care of the change very efficiently and professionally. The house had a lot of space, nice kitchen and bathrooms, and a pleasant sitting area. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t warm enough to take advantage of the pool. The only criticism was the bed in the master bedroom could use a new mattress, the current one has a bit of a slope to the center.

After reading several positive reviews about this property, we were excited to stay here. Overall, the house is nice. Feels like newer construction. TVs in every room and a private pool out back. The bad news is that the house was infested with bugs. Ants, fleas, gnats, you name it….it was there. Contacted the property rep who said they would reach out to an exterminator. Never heard back. We all have bug bites all over and we had to throw away a lot of food that got covered in ants. There’s no pantry to keep food in. The ants are obviously a known problem as there were already ant baits out on the counter when we got there. But fleas and other bugs too? In the beds and on the living room seats? Understand this is a pet friendly house, but obviously someone had a dirty animal. Although the cleaning company did okay, there was still a bunch of dog hair on the floor. Also, two days after the pool was “cleaned” which included a VERY heavy dose of chemicals and chlorine so strong we could barely swim in it, a landscaper came and cut grass. Blew tons of lawn clipping in the pool and all over the pool deck. Because the pool is cleaned on Mondays, it remained filthy the rest of the time we were there. I don’t fault the property owner for any of this. This is typical of big vacation companies like Vacasa. Mediocre property management at best and poor response when there’s an issue. Lastly, you get one tiny outdoor trash can for the entire week. Needless to say, it was overflowing by mid week, and on checkout day, we got to clean up trash that had been torn through by raccoons. Who can blame them? We had no choice but to leave trash on the ground. This place has a lot of potential, but needs a more attentive property manager or the owner needs to be more aware of the issues that are being ignored by the property manager.
