This property was an amazing find. My family of four, my sister’s family of four, and my mother stayed here over Christmas. First of all, the host was easy to work with and was prepared with a baby gate on the stairs, a high chair, and a Pack and Play when I told her we were bringing a 1yr old. The garage has been converted to a game room with a Foosball table and Switch console, which my 2 teenagers enjoyed immensely. The kitchen was large and well-stocked with pans for those who like to cook (me!) on vacation. Having a gas stove was a luxury!
The layout of the house was nice, with a large family area and open kitchen, great for family gatherings. My husband and I shared the downstairs room and it was quiet- we were not disturbed by those upstairs. My mother also commented that her room upstairs was quiet.
The house has been beautifully renovated, and as my sister said, the photos do not do it justice. The bathrooms were nice and the gas water heater ensured there was always hot water for our large party.
My only issue was the downstairs mattress was a little soft, but we were the only couple that had a complaint. That could be personal taste.
The house is nestled in the back of a quiet neighborhood. You can hear the waves crashing on the beach when you step out of the house. There is public beach access at the end of the street if you fancy a walk. The drive to downtown St. Augustine is only minutes away, as is the Publix and an excellent pizza restaurant. I recommend!
