It was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. The space was great for our family of 6. It was peaceful during our stay. The family enjoyed the open space in the living area. The kids were thrown off by the rooster in the morning, but it was distant, and they were awake when they heard the rooster. Lol. We are adding this location as one of our future destination stays.

We had a great time at the Coastal Cottage. St. Augustine is a lovely place to visit and this cottage was in a cool area. We were able to walk to breakfast and there were a couple of cool breweries/bars for late night fun, as well. Thanks for being an excellent host!

It's very roomy inside also and could easily accommodate a family of six. It was also very close to the historic district. The caretaker, Bill, was so nice and very quick to respond to our questions.

The house is beautifully decorated and is incredibly spacious. Perfect for our family (with 6 kids!). Really appreciated all the little extras like shampoo/conditioner in showers, small sample of Keruig coffee cups, and laundry detergent. Beds are comfortable. Roosters next door and across the street were definitely competitive in who’s louder. The reason for the 4/5 stars were the smoke alarms going off in the middle of the night on our first night - we somehow got it to stop after checking the inside/outside of house for an actual fire, then the second night they went off after our day in St Augustine from about 4:00pm-8:00pm nonstop. The property management team came over by 5:30pm and later the electrician who finally fixed it. It interrupted our evening plans (had to cancel what we were going to do) and was unable to put the baby to bed due to the constant alarms. This stuff happens, I know. It was just frustrating for our entire family. The management team and electrician were kind and helpful but all we wanted to do was go home after this. It was exhausting after a long day.
