We have a wonderful vacation! The condo was fully equipped, comfortable, and exactly as described. The beds were super comfy and allowed us all a wonderful nights rest after a beach day. Will definitely stay here again! A
Last minute visit to St Augustine. We lucked into this sweet condo. Great communication with the host, prompt response. Very clean and comfortable condo. Everything went smoothly and we really enjoyed our stay
Loved the condo, it had everything you needed for all the amenities, very well thought out condo/property the location was great as well, not far from the lighthouse or down town would definitely recommend it and would like to go back next year.
Check in times were different on Vrbo listing than what was sent to us from the property manager. Elevator out of order, uncomfortable beds in 2nd bedroom, dishes and silverware were dirty in cabinets, master bedroom and bathroom were great, 2nd bathroom had water pressure issues. Overall the little things we were able to overlook.
Owner communicates extremely well and is very responsive and helpful. The condo is more spacious than we expected. It was nice to have two bathrooms since we had our teens with us. The property was quiet and a shorter walk to the beach than we thought it would be (very short!). We had a great time and would stay here again.
This was a perfect property for the St. Augustine area. The check in process was very difficult through the property but the owner was super helpful over the phone to help us. The place was exactly what we were looking for to enjoy a few days on the beach and riding our bikes in the area. We would love to rent again
Just what we needed! Beautiful beach, pools, condo.
We very much enjoyed our stay. Condo was beautiful, location perfect! Didn't find out until day before that we needed to bring paper towels, toilet paper, dishwasher detergent, and trash bags. Would have been nice to have that info in VRBO at time of booking. We had a wonderful stay and will come again!
The property was just as described and had all the amenities from coffee to toilet paper to beach items. However, twice there was an issue with the elevator which made it difficult for the other three ladies I was traveling with, who each had some type of disability, making it difficult to walk up and down the stairs.
Just as advertised and incredibly comfortable. Very acoustically insulated. Even though it was high season with a lot of people and small children next door, the condo was very quiet. Maintenance came within an hour when called. Property Mngmnt & Maintenance were very friendly. Our family thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Condo is nicely decorated, impressively clean and tidy. It features a pleasant view of the grounds and peekaboo view of the ocean. We were impressed that the owner contacted us on day one to ensure everything in the unit was in order. Upon our notifying him of a couple of items in need of repair, he contacted the office. Repairs were made early next day.
Everything about the condo was good. We had an issue on our first night. I reached out to the property management company and never got a response. We reached out to the owner through the VRBO portal the next morning and he had everything corrected before we were back from golfing and everything else went smoothly. I would suggest not listing the management company if they are not going to be the ones to handle issues. The owner was great though and very responsive.
We stay in this complex every year and this was by far the nicest unit and best location within OVC we've been in. A short walk to the beach and steps from the pool made this perfect for our family. The elevator in the building was also great for hauling luggage and groceries. The unit was spacious and had everything we needed. Our only issue was on checking in - the gate code didn't work and then there weren't any keys left in the keybox on the door! It was after hours so the management company was unreachable. The owner helped us and thankfully had personal keys we were able to use until the rental office opened the next morning, but after a long day of travel a better arrival would have been nice. Not the owner's fault and the unit is wonderful, but the management company needs to do better to make sure guests have the right code and can access their rental.
Location was good- near the beach. We really enjoyed the area and loved St Augustine. Now for the disappointing things... Property owner waited to email the rental agreement until day before our stay so if there was anything objectionable in it, we were stuck with it. He also didn't give us any instructions on condo access/entry. We had to figure out how to call the management office to get access. Property owner slightly misrepresented some things in the description. The pool was NOT heated as stated. The "ocean view " from balcony is an old photo before trees grew taller and partially obstructed the view. The "new luxury memory foam mattress" was a Walmart foam topper on a worn out old mattress. Housekeepers do a poor job cleaning- kitchen utensils are dirty and old, dust everywhere, some windows don't work, blinds are cheap and some keep falling off. Investing a few bucks into fixing these things would make staying here much nicer.
Our entire family has been visiting St. Augustine for many years and love the family friendly atmosphere and location. St. Augustine is a beautiful, historic, quiet community - away from all the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities. This is where we go to unwind and relax.
This condo at Ocean Village Club was rented by my parents since 2010 during the winters and when the opportunity to purchase the condo materialized, we jumped at the opportunity. The complex is well maintained and we love the high ceilings in this condo and the open airy feeling they provide. The beach is close to the condo and we love being close enough to hear the ocean. The property has two pools and private beach access close to the condo. One pool is heated all year long, and we love being able to swim any time we visit.
The condo has been completely renovated; bathrooms, kitchen, tile floors in the main living spaces, ceiling fans, furniture, and all new lighting - it looks brand new inside. I love that I can walk onto the balcony and see the beach, it's so peaceful and beautiful.
