We were happy to spend time at the beach and it was the perfect location, close to several bars, restaurants and beach. My only suggestion would be to purchase beach towels, there were none. If people were flying in they would be hard pressed. And I would upgrade some of the kitchen utensils otherwise we had a great time!
This is our 4th time staying at Sunburst Cottage. Itâs quiet and comfortable. Home has everything you need and then some. Very short walk to the beach and places to eat. Michael is great to communicate with and so nice. I definitely recommend staying at Sunburst Cottage.
Lovely property. Private, quiet, spacious and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything you need, down to bikes, games, books etc. Steps to the beach without having to cross any roads. Large walled patio with sun and shade. Ample parking. We had a great time here.
Sunburst cottage is centrally located but the week we were there they were replenishing the beach. The fishing pier didn't reach the ocean and we had to walk down the outside of the beach to get to the ocean. Other then that it was a great stay.
We enjoyed our stay in the Sunburst Cottage, nice clean and very close to everything we did. Look forward to the next time. Oh ps Beach was beautiful!!!!
The Sunburst Cottage was excellent. The close location to the beach was perfect for me and my wife and our dog. You will find everything you need at the Sunburst. Michael is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to staying here on our next trip to St. Augustine.
We've stayed here twice now and its a wonderful home. Just a few houses away from the beach and abouy 10min drive from downtown st augustine. This house gives you a glimpse into what it would be like to live at the beach. 10/10 recommended
This was our second time staying at Sunburst Cottage and we absolutely enjoy the location to the beach and the ability to walk to several restaurants, ice-cream shops and the farmers market on the pier. The enclosed back deck with the hot tub is nice for relaxing in the morning or evening and being able to let our pup run around and play. This trip we met some very nice locals that let our dog play with theirs on the beach. We are hoping to return in the future.
We love coming to St Augustine as often as we can and have stayed at several places, this home was great. We were able to bring our dog, who loves to go on vacation. We were within walking distance of several restaurants and close enough to the pier to walk to for the market on Wednesday. Michael was easy to reach and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the use of your property.
Just finished my fourth stay at the Sunburst Cottage! My whole family (even our dog) loves the place. The owners are great and the house has everything you need. It is so close to the beach, great restaurants and we love the farmers market on Wednesdays. Being from the west coast, we really enjoy visiting the Atlantic. We started renting the house because my daughter attends Flagler College and this way we could all vacation together. Even though she graduates next year, I am confident we will continue to rent every year! Thanks, Michael, for another wonderful vacation!
We really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our family and just what we needed. Beach access was perfect and only steps from the home. (The access does not have a boardwalk, but there is a beach access a block up from the home with a boardwalk.)
The street is very quiet. We stayed over the 4th of July week and never had an issue with noise.
The home is well kept and had beautiful, unique furniture. The private deck area with hot tub was enjoyable in the evenings. The trundle day bed on the porch was perfect for our two boys. The kitchen cabinets and counters are nicely updated, per the description, but are not represented in the pictures. You can tell the property owners take pride in their home and communicated great with check-in.
The property is also very close to lots of restaurants and only a few blocks from the pier. There is a publix close by and other shops a short drive away.
Thank you for the stay!
Sunburst Cottage has a great location (about 300 feet or so to the beach), and was just as the photos depicted. It was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay and provides a lot of privacy despite being so close to the beach and a number of restaurants. Renting was performed very professionally with a minimum of paperwork, and the property was clean with everything in working order. This really was a great place for a week and I expect to return - maybe next July. If you are there in the Summer, don't miss the Wednesday evening concert and inexpensive/great dinner provided at the pavilion just a few blocks north - nice vibe. If you like soft sand, beautiful sunrises, quiet, and comfort, then this is the place. Just don't tell everybody.
We rented this property for a week and the first thing we noticed was how spacious the house was compared to the photos. The kitchen is roomy, with updated appliances and modern decor. The kitchen is fully stocked with all cooking needs. The couches and beds were all extremely comfortable. The daybed in the sunroom was really nice to lounge on during afternoon storms. The back deck with privacy wall was a nice gem and the outdoor shower with hot/cold water was a great benefit. We took full advantage of the hot tub and loved that the ocean was only a 30second walk away. This house was nestled perfectly in Anastasia island and only a short drive to the lighthouse and historic downtown st Augustine. I love that we were able to bring our dog and we hope to stay here again and bring friends and family so they can experience all that this house and st Augustine have to offer. Michael was a phenomenal host and answered any questions or concerns we had in a timely manner. 10/10 would recommend.
This was originally our family home. When we moved to a larger home we kept it as a rental since it is so close to the beach. Twelve years ago we converted it to a short term vacation rental. We own two gift shops in downtown Saint Augustine so having a Vacation rental is a good fit for us since we are have been in the Tourism business for 40 years. We enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience of the area with our guests.
Our house has been in our family for many years. We take pride in our ownership. It is well maintained and everything works. I have stayed in many vacation rentals around the country for many years. I have been disappointed more often than not. I have tried to use my experience to make your stay more enjoyable. I keep the hot tub hot and the grill always has gas. If there are problems we get on top of it.
