The appeal for the property is the location on the beach, easy beach access, large useable deck, well equipped kitchen, barbecue for cooking in. House is spacious and pet friendly. Appreciated earlier check in, attention to detail in the house and great communication with the owner. Thank you, Gary!
We had a wonderful vacation at Ocean Retreat House. It was everything we hoped for. Beautiful, comfortable house, excellent beach access, beautiful beach. The back deck is spectacular. We did not spend much time in St Augustine because we were enjoying the house and beach so much. It is a very dog friendly house and beach.
This property is a fantastic location. You can walk down the boardwalk right to the beach. The master suite has views from the bathrooms of sunset, and views from the bed of sunrise. Well equipped and spacious. There is one bedroom (master suite) on the top floor, and two bedrooms on the main floor. A quick drive into downtown and convenient for the sites.
The property is unique in many ways as others reviewed. The art work is awesome. The layout and view of the ocean from 2 story windows is the center piece of the house with 2 patios along with the private walk way over the dunes to the beach. Expect stairs, thats the main thing walking up to the house, if course second floor master suite, and down to the beach. Kitchen has everything you need, plenty of space, ability to wash clothes, and grill out all you want. Also a fresh seafood market less than 3 minutes down the road. Truly loved being able to stay here! Hope to again one day!
This was our quick yearly staycation getaway before school started. This house is definitely our favorite. The views from all the windows and balconies were completely breathtaking. The beach was never overly crowded and it was so convenient to have your own walkway to and from the beach. PP were accurate when saying, this house is fully equipped with all you could possibly need. It was very clean, incredibly interesting with all the unique decor and I met the host personally who was very nice. Our 5 year old pug loved the house as well. Beds were super comfortable as well. My kids enjoyed having their own bedrooms. We take yearly trips to the St. Augustine area and would love to stay in this beautiful home again.
What our family loved most of all was that there are no high rise resorts or condos near by! The beach felt like our very own private slice of heaven!
The house was exactly as pictured and is very clean (noting - I am a clean freak)! The host/owners were so accommodating and communicated with us via text/email (and even left us their phone numbers) which was nice when we had questions.
The yard between the garage and the house was beautifully filled with so many gorgeous plants that we felt like we were in a sanctuary for all the local wild life. We saw turtles, frogs, baby birds, bunny rabbits, possums, lizards (of course) and so many butterflies. On the beach there is a turtle egg nest being protected that was pretty awesome too!
Another amazing beach family vacation. Thank you Gary!
The owners are very easy to work with. There was a good amount of parking. The warning about the steps is something to consider with smaller children. There are a lot of steps to get into the house and down the boardwalk, but it was really nice that we had our own private entry way to the beach and there were two stations to wash off your feet and dogs. Fair warning to bring something to protect your dogs feet because the boardwalk can get pretty hot. The cleaning crew isn’t the best. We found a fry next to the couch and a couple of roaches, but overall the place was really nice. Beautiful deck and scenery and in a very quiet neighborhood. The section of the beach wasn’t too crowded either which was great. I also loved that we all had our own bathroom. The upstairs bed/bath combo is gorgeous and very spacious. I would recommend this place to larger families.
Spacious, comfortable house, perfect for a beach vacation. Easy access to the beach via a walkover crossing the dunes. View of the ocean from back porch and balcony. Peaceful. Well stocked with everything we needed. Comfortable beds. Large TV in the front room for family movie night. Host very quick to respond. A very enjoyable stay
Great location and a beautiful home with a perfect layout for our group of seven. The house was well-equipped with everything we needed, and the kitchen was especially well stocked, which made our stay even more comfortable. Check-in was seamless and easy. The kids had a blast with the beach toys and boogie boards. We truly had a wonderful trip, thank you for such a great experience!
Fascinating museum like home, with gorgeous views and on a sandy beach with water perfect for swimming, surfing, boogie boarding, or even SUPing. Multiple gate enclosures to keep dogs safe & humans relaxing. We treasured our stay!
We couldn't have asked for a more mystical, fantastic, slice of paradise...breathtaking views and a truly unique and fascinating home...we will be back...
Beautiful home with unbelievable views of the beach. Short walk down the walkway to a wonderful beach. Gary the owner was very responsive and so easy to work with from the time we booked the house until we left. We will be back.
Everything about the trip was perfect. Then I had the pleasure of accidentally meeting Gary the owner. The trip only got better meeting such a nice, interesting and good hearted person. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY !
