Short family vacation

Shelley was an awesome host. The home was very clean, setup for the rooms was very nice. The location is convenient to the beach and the main road. The patio is a nice spot to sit your coffee in the morning. I highly recommend this location.

This place was amazing! The place looks just like the pictures that are posted. Excellent location to the beach. Welcome snacks and letter gave a sweet, welcoming touch.

Beach Hideaway

It was awesome. Extra pillows and a fan for my wife to comfortably @ night. The Condo was very clean and very comfortably. After a long day on the beach, biking, paddle boarding and antique shopping, it was nice to back to a relaxing place that i could have call home. Communication was quick to the point, if we needed anything. We would love to stay the beach hideaway in the future. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

I can’t say enough positive things about our recent stay! Shelley was so quick to respond and made sure every last touch was perfect! My boys loved the little snacks she left and the welcome card was so special! The house was immaculate and the beds were so comfortable! It stormed while we were there, so we were able to relax on the back and front porch! Both areas were very quiet and welcoming! The neighborhood was quiet and located in an area that was convenient to town and the beach! Thank you, Ms. Shelley, for hosting my boys and me. Everything was perfect!! We will visit again soon!

Great Vacation!

This is a wonderful retreat for a vacation getaway! Everything was clean, convenient access to the beach, restaurants, shops, downtown St. Augustine, etc. Very comfortable and relaxing! The gift basket with snacks, drinks and note card when we arrived was absolutely lovely and there were plenty of misc. supplies already stocked, which is so nice to not have to think about when you go on vacation! Shelley (the host) was absolutely fabulous! We would definitely stay here again!

St. Augustine Cozy Haven

This was a weekend getaway for two couples, but one person was sick, unfortunately. We made the best of it and enjoyed everything about the area, cottage, beach and weekend! Everyone in our group felt that this VRBO was the nicest we have stayed in to-date. It feels very clean and fresh, and the decorations were just right. Something about the place puts you immediately at peace. Owner communication was top-notch!! Thanks Shelley for everything!

Summer Trip

This property is as described plus some! First off when we opened the door the place smelled so fresh and clean! The property owners had a welcome note and basket of drinks and snacks welcoming us to their home. The location is ideal with a short walk to the beach and a short drive to historic St. Augustine. The home is fully stocked with everything you need to cook including a crock pot, microwave, and toaster. We will definitely return on our next trip to St Augustine.

Perfect Anniversay Getaway

This is the second year my husband and I have stayed at Shelly's sweet retreat. It was just as nice as it was last year. Shelly welcomes you with a goody basket of snacks and drinks and a sweet card. She even gave us a gift card for donuts because it was our anniversary. The duplex is in a quiet neighborhood and just a 5 minute walk to the beach. Also, the entry way to park on the beach is right down the road. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the back deck as well as relaxing there in the evenings. Shelly has provided everything you would possibly need. The beds are super comfy, too. Everything is just like the pictures posted online. I can't say enough good things about this rental . We will be back!!!
