The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome. This place was perfect. Location was great. Easy walk to St. Augustine. The outside area makes it! Our pup loved the fenced in yard. Outside shower was amazing especially at night. And it was cool enough one night for the fire pit. Will definitely stay here again. ##### dewey t. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Quin T. 2 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### StAug Retreat Checking in was not smooth and we never had a single source for messaging the host. Should we use the VRBO app, phone to an intermediate and unhelpful support number, or text? A single source of contact would have made the whole stay a lot smoother. Otherwise, the property and location are perfect! ##### Quin T.

Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back! The house was perfect for the two of us and our pup. Backyard was wonderful. We loved the outdoor shower and fire pit. Also being able to walk just about anywhere we wanted to go. The neighborhood is very safe for walking your dog. Osprey Tacos, Meehan's Backyard and Fish Camp are a few of the places we would definitely recommend. Thank you Kelly for letting us enjoy this cute little oasis for the week. ##### Denise C. ### 8/10 Good #### Richard R. 6 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great Location We had a great time and enjoyed the walkability to local restaurants and old town. We drove to St. Augustine beach (short 7 minute drive with free parking) and really enjoyed the area there as well. The back covered patio gives a nice shady spot to sit outside without getting pounded by the sun. Would stay again. ##### Richard R.
