This is the 3rd time we’ve stayed at this lovely house right on the beach. The views are wonderful. The house is huge. We always arrive to a clean, well-kept, beautiful get-a-way where we hook up with friends. Just love this place.

The perfect location.

This property was the perfect place for a short end of summer getaway. The neighborhood is quiet, the house is gorgeous with plenty of room for the whole family. The best feature of this house is the semi-private beach access shared with the house next door. The one minor issue we had during our stay was handled almost immediately and the owner was always very responsive to texts.

Amazing views right on the beach!!

We enjoyed our stay very much. The views are so amazing out on the back porch. So relaxing & the perfect place to unwind. Communication was great with hosts & the place was clean. Only suggestion for others is bring extra towels, There aren’t enough at house especially for 8 people. Hopefully they will restock soon. Other than that it was great! We will be back for sure.

Fantastic Beach House

We had a fantastic time and would love to stay here again. The view from the second floor living areas was even nicer than the online pictures. The home was clean and ready for our use when we arrived. The kitchen was well stocked with plenty of cookware and dishes. The home's private board walk is a huge plus and made getting to the beach a pleasure. The home managers were quick to respond whenever we had questions. There was plenty of room for two families with kids. And the beach itself is beautiful. We love this area. This was our second stay at a beach house in Butler Beach and plan to return.

Amazing Beach Property

This place is a gem. It's not hidden, so it's not a hidden gem. But it is awesome. The beach is so close you can almost stick your toes in it from one of the decks. You can see the ocean from the main living area and the massive patio surrounding that area. The views are 10/10. Sunrise or sunset, your beach walk is just steps away. The kitchen is well appointed, and the dining-room table is perfect for large groups. There are plenty of bedrooms and beds so everyone can sleep comfortably. (Do note: one "bedroom" is a little nook (with door) inside the master bedroom. The listing says this. I knew this. But you should too! It might matter for some.) The living room has plenty of sofas and a large TV. I don't know how well the TV works, however, because we never turned it on. Historic St. Augustine is a short drive. Grocery store (Publix), restaurants, and the best Cuban bakery outside of Miami are just a couple miles away. You'll have plenty to do besides the beach, if that's your jam. I would certainly return. This place was wonderful. Our group had the best time. You will too.

Great beach house! The place was very clean, had plenty of bedrooms, and the kitchen was really well set up with everything we needed. You’re just steps from the beach, which was awesome. We also really appreciated the QR codes posted throughout the house with clear instructions….it made everything super easy. Would definitely stay here again!
