    This newly renovated Oceanside cottage was absolutely perfect for my wife and I on a short one week getaway to the beach. Loved the renovations and decorations, my wife said she wouldn’t change a thing. Also loved that it was very dog friendly with the large yard and short walk to the dog friendly beach.We had a minor issue with the water heater and after a quick phone call, it was fixed within five minutes – literally! Because the street is a dead end, beach access street with no parking on the street. It is extremely quiet with next to no traffic. I almost hate to leave this review because we are planning on coming back soon and often and don’t want this so booked up that we won’t be able to rent it. lol.We can’t wait to go back!

    I brought my 2 pups and the yard was perfect as was the beach access. I was never over crowded where I had to worry about their safety. The cottage its self was clean and came with EVERYTHING I could need. I can’t thank them enough for making our first trip with the pups perfect!

    Location was great but would not rent this house again. Strong musty smell that was overwhelming. The washer and dryer are in a different building and very inconvenient. Outdoor space was dirty and furniture was broken. Need outside shower or at least hose to rinse body and feet to eliminate sand getting inside house.

    Lovely accommodations. The place was clean and equipped with everything we needed for our four night stay. It’s in the beach block on a quiet street. My partner and I were delighted to bring our small dog along with us. I would definitely recommend this property!

    Great stay for the two of us and our dog. The cottage is perfect size, one bedroom with a nice kitchen and living area. It is just three houses back from the beach access. The beach is wide and clean. There are several good restaurants within a couple miles, and a handful within walking distance.

    Rich and Lauren were the best host. The Sand Dollar west was the perfect spot for us and our little Dachshund, it was just a 2 minute walk to the beach. The room was clean and had all the amenities you could need. Several restaurants were a short walk away also. We will definitely be staying there again.

    We have been going to St Augustine Beach for several years with family. This year it was only my husband and myself so we looked for a smaller place. This was perfect! Love the cottage and the location. Hopefully we will get to stay again soon!! Thank you for a great vacation!!

    This villa is the 3rd house from the beach!! With a beautifully updated kitchen & bathroom, very clean, with all things needed to enjoy your time at the Beach & in St Augustine. It was just about a 10-minute drive to downtown/historic St Augustine. We thoroughly enjoyed our getaway week at the beach here!
