St. Augustine Rose -- 1 block to beach, private pool!

The property was amazing, we loved our stay. Very nice location, close to the beach and amazing sunset and sunrise from the top balcony. Kitchen fully stocked with things to cook a good meal. Pool was great. We had a nice vacation with our three kids, their spouses and 5 grandchildren. Feedback: Bunk beds are double sized beds and couches look like they pull out but the property management staff said they are not pullout couches.

This house was PERFECT for a getaway with our friends and family. With 6 adults and 3 kids, there was more than enough space to spread out and not feel cramped. We didn’t have to share bathrooms, the kitchen had plenty of space fo cook and gather, and we had so many location options to lounge and relax. The pool was perfect for the kids- they would have just been content playing there for the entire stay haha! The beach is EASILY accessed by foot..when they say 4 minute walk, they mean it. And it’s a big beautiful white sandy beach to play and catch some sun. We had everything we needed, and the house is SO close to everything. Only a 15 min drive to historic St Augustine, plenty of grocery options, restaurants, and everything in between just minutes away. We had so much fun and it was exactly what we hoped for.

We very much enjoyed our time at the St. Augustine Rose. We gave it a 4/5 just cause there’s room for improvement in very minor areas, but overall the property is true to the listing. The location is great with a 2min walk to beach access. The beach is beautiful! Sandy beach that is combed of shells with refreshing ocean water. We had a tide pool that was the best kiddie play area we could ask for and our older kids loved boogie boarding in the waves. We loved the pool that was treated perfect and felt clean without burning our eyes and skin from chemicals. Downtown was about a 20 min drive and was very interesting and charming. A couple of suggestions for the property itself; a quick power wash of the pool and screened in area would make a big difference. Covers for the screened in area furniture- we were not able to use the furniture since it rained on on our first day and they stayed damp for the whole week. Cushions should probably be replaced soon as there were many stains. The driveway is at at least a 45 degree angle so my family members car kept getting scrapped pulling into and out of the driveway. Those of us with SUV’s had no problem but had to use our emergency break due to the extreme slope. The ice maker on the fridge was broken but the water dispensed nice cold filtered water. The inside was very nice and updated. Kitchen was updated and fully stocked. Living rooms and bedrooms were comfy. Overall very happy!

Beautiful home. Enjoyed spening time with my children and grandchildren. We have family in the area that we visit, so it makes it more special. A lot of stairs, would have been nice to use the elevator.

Had to involve the management company too many times for items such as wrong entry code upon arrival, broken bed, missing coffee pot, empty propane tank. Additionally, to charge to rent beach chairs when you are walking distance to the beach is absurd. I have been renting beach homes for decades and never have been charged. Also, please note… if your house says sleeps 15, have 15 beach towels, 8 doesn’t work. All in all, the management company was very responsive and took care of things on a timely basis.
