This place fit my whole party comfortably and had everything you need for a nice and easy stay at the beach. The price was very reasonable and affordable. The host responded very quickly and happily accommodated for our needs.

Seth is an amazing host, very responsive and kind. Beautiful home and backyard. Felt like home away from home and included everything you would need for a stay: cooking utensils, games, extra blankets and towels, etc. Property was spotless, very homey and comfortable. Nice quiet area that felt safe. Wonderful stay with family and friends. Will definitely recommend and book again.

Homey place in a wonderful location. The backyard was everything! So much to do and beautiful sights! Inside had everything we needed for a cold day- extra blankets, TV, games, coffee, and plenty of things needed for cooking. Short drive to downtown and the beach. Would stay again in a heartbeat!

The place worked out perfect for our family of 5! The heated pool was a favorite for our young kids. Was just a short easy drive up to St Augustine! Would definitely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at this Airbnb! The house was absolutely beautiful — clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully set up with everything we needed. The heated pool was a huge highlight for us and made the trip extra relaxing. It was perfectly maintained and ready to enjoy as soon as we arrived. The waterfront setting made it even more special. Waking up to the peaceful water views and enjoying the privacy of the property truly made it feel like a getaway. It was quiet and serene while still being in such a convenient location. Seth was a fantastic host — responsive, friendly, and made everything seamless from check-in to check-out. You can tell he genuinely cares about his guests having a great experience. The location couldn’t have been better. It’s close enough to the main town to easily enjoy restaurants and activities, but far enough away to feel peaceful and away from the heavy tourist traffic. We also really appreciated that it’s dog friendly — it made traveling so much easier
