Please refrain from smoking inside the home! If any signs of smoking are documented, the renter agrees to pay $200.00 / per day.

★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS/FIREWORKS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.

Come relax in backyard oasis

The home was clean, well decorated and well appointed. We had everything we needed and had enough to enjoy that we didn’t even need to leave. The beach is a short walk or drive and great to view sunrise. Short walk the opposite direction and you can watch the sunset!

Nicer than the pictures

Island retreat is actually nicer than pictures. The setup was very nice, and we actually used the outdoor shower more than you think. The kitchen was well equipped. The walk to the beach was easy. The location was very good. The neighborhood was quiet, but we were close enough to go into St Augustine. Our host Jessica was very easy to deal with, and she responded quickly.

Little slice of heaven

This house was amazing. From the first step into the house we enjoyed the whole house. With three teenage children they were in and out of the pool more then they were sleeping. As for the adults the whole set up checked all the boxes. The tiki bar was amazing. Would rent again for sure maybe both houses and have a family reunion. Wonderful host very well in tune with guest needs and or questions.

It’s really an Island Re-TREAT

This place is amazing! It’s very local to anything you want to do! The beach is literally a mile away or just stay in the pool and hot tub like we did! This place has everything you need! The tiki bar is amazing! Lots of room in the back yard! You don’t even have to leave this place unless you have to! Plenty of restaurants nearby and all of the essentials to cook at the home! Jessica our host was amazing! You really feel welcomed at this place! We can’t wait to go back!

Wonderful oasis!

We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely stay there again! Unfortunately, the hot tub wasn’t working and the owner said she would get someone out but they had a busy schedule so couldn’t make it until Wednesday. It was a broken piece so nothing she could have known about. She reacted quickly and even gave us a small refund due to the inconvenience. It was close to the beach! The house itself is beautiful and very comfortable with so much stocked in kitchen. The backyard was stunning and so relaxing!!! Wish I was there now. A definite stay here while in town.

The house was amazing, especially the backyard. Weather was iffy due to tropical storm Erin, but was great to have the backyard to use between the rain, and still made it to the beach. Jessica was super communicative and great. We’re talking about going back next year, hopefully longer!

A Big Yes

We loved our stay at Island Retreat! The backyard was beautiful and we spent a great deal of time in the pool as well as enjoying the tiki bar. The home had everything we needed for our stay and was so comfortable. The walk to the beach is not far and it is not crowded at this end of the beach which was a huge plus for me. The house was extremely clean as well. Great stay and would definitely recommend!

Amazing Vacation Spot

This house was the perfect location for our 2 families of 4. We had kids from ages 10 to 7 and the accommodations were perfect. The location was a short walk to the beach and had gorgeous sunrises! We felt like it was our own private beach and loved that about this location. Downtown with tons to do and great eating places is just a short drive. The owners were very quick to reply with any questions we had. We will definitely be back!

Spring break @ St Augustine

House/property was great! Had all amenities a family would need. Leaves were falling at this time of year, making the pool a landing spot. Hot tub did not appear to be the cleanest (cloudy/sand in bottom). All in all everything was able to be used and still enjoyed! Great location to beaches and short drive to downtown.

Great Family Spring Breaj

Property was perfect for our family needs. Had space to spread out. Great backyard/pool/tiki bar. Our kids loved swimming and the hot tub when it got cool at night. My boys loved watching March Madness at the Tiki Bar while we got Viola's Pizza to go. Had a a great time. Jessica was quick with responses on any questions and it we travel back to St. Augustine would stay here again in a second.

Wonderful Getaway

Pictures did not do the property justice. This place was far more beautiful than what was posted. Location was perfect. 2 minutes from the beach and 5 minutes from grocery stores. Historical St. Augustine was a mere 15 minutes away. Jessica was spectacular in helping with our weekend. What an amazing list of suggestions she gave us to do and where to dine. House was super clean and the back yard so much fun. Thank you Jessica. Can’t wait to head back over to you. Chris and Maria
