Oceanfront condo with beautiful ocean view and screened patio- SO 4

Great place over all. The unit had everything we needed, including some things we didn't expect (like beach chairs, which we didn't need). Good view of the ocean, but note that the porch is screened--you can't stick your head out!The pictures show an extended walkway, but you can't use that one. It ends, and you can not cross the dune. You must use the public access, but it's even easier to cross actually. We were there in Sept, and there were no crowds at all.The unit is on the 2nd floor, and there are no elevators, so be aware of that. Our bags were light enough, and I'm young enough, that I just carried them up a flight of stairs.The beach was absolutely fantastic. Wide beach, soft clean sand, clear water. Note that cars can drive on the beach here; we're not used to that since we usually go to the gulf. About 1.5 miles from the pier, but we didn't fish. The pier didn't really extend enough to make it worthwhile, in my opinion. If you want to fish, go to the in let just a couple of miles away.Local restaurants are fantastic, and historic St. Augustine is only a 15 min drive. We recommend Fundadelic and Sunset Grill locally, and Harry's and Columbia restaurant in St. Augustine. You have to check out Fort San Marcos as well. We did a ghost tour, but meh...Back to the unit, it was comfortable, but the furniture was a little older. Sofa could probably use more padding, but the kitchen was well-equipped and perfect for us. We need nothing more.

Condo was perfect in great location. Everything went flawlessly

Location of property is great and close to attractions. Overall the condo is a nice place to stay except for the washing machine in unit needs repaired or replaced. It doesn’t run through all of its cycles without manually making it. Also the patio furniture needs to be updated. You can’t sit in the chairs to enjoy the ocean without the paint peeling off on your clothes. Would definitely be a five star stay if those items were addressed.

When we first walked in the condo, it had a musty smell, but I found that that’s due it be an oceanfront property. Once we the air conditioner down a little and the ceiling fans, it went away. The pictures didn’t depict the current state of the condo. I would say all in all it was good and it was very clean. However, there are a few areas that definitely need some TLC. The hole in the ceiling in the living area outside the patio doors, potential water damage in the main bedroom ceiling. However, there were no leaks during our stay. The sliding doors to the balcony would get jammed now and again. The closet doors where the washer and dryer located do not stay on the track. It’s appears it’s been that way for sometime. Also I had to babysit the washer because it didn’t always run through the cycle as it should. For instance, for a light wash, it had ran for 45 minutes but didn’t go into the next cycle to drain and spin. There were a couple light stains on the couch which wasn’t very comfortable. Lastly, we received a notice because we didn’t have a parking permit, but we weren’t required to have one. In my opinion, these are pretty minor and I would book the condo again.

We enjoyed our stay. Appreciated being able to check out an hour later also. Was frustrated, however, with the laundry situation. Washer didn’t advance through cycles and even ruined a dress when washer continued in one cycle while we were out.

It was a very nice and clean villa close to beach We would stay again !

Overall we really loved the condo. The views were great. It was walking distance to several good restaurants and the right on the beach.

Great condo, the biggest advantage is its right off the beach

Perfect ocean view. Quite neighborhood. Easy access to beach and local food. We would definitely recommend.
