Back Bay Hideaway on the Intracoastal

This house and location served us so well. Very peaceful and relaxing yet close to the action. We would definitely consider staying again! Thank you!

The house was very well appointed, and we had a wonderful stay. The host had many special touches that made our stay unforgettable. Will be back again!

This is a nice property tucked away, but conveniently close. Watching the tide rise and fall from the screened in porch was such a pleasure. They were plenty of amenities, such as towels and blankets and kitchen items. Much more than we had the opportunity to use. I would recommend this to anyone who likes to get away to a private little point of land and looks over the marsh to watch birds and sit in the rocking chair and feel the breeze. The only little minus I would offer is that the beds are super hard, like cardboard. Perhaps a mattress topper or something like that would help make the mattresses a little more comfortable. It’s such a beautiful house, no need to skimp on the mattresses. Otherwise I could live there!

Close enough to all the downtown activities but like another world away. Such a beautiful setting - porches offered great opportunities for sunrise & bird watching. Clean, quiet, comfortable, well-equipped kitchen and loads of gathering space.

Our family of 5 enjoyed our stay!Pros-Clean, plenty of space to spread out, quiet neighborhood, beautiful marsh views. Lots of outdoor deck space. We didn’t cook in the kitchen, but found plenty of dishes, mugs, cutlery, etc. Easy check in/check out. Cons-The 4th bedroom/3rd bathroom are in a separate “cottage”. Fine for groups with adults/older teens, but could pose a problem for families with young kids. Beds are FIRM. Like sleeping on the floor firm. We found them to be incredibly uncomfortable. We also were not fans of the tile floors. We tried to respect the “no shoes” policy, but found the floors to be hard and cold.

We loved sitting on the wraparound porch and watching the tide go in and out as well as the birds flying around the marsh. Many spaces for everyone to spread out and hang out together. Can’t wait to go back!!

Location was amazing. So peaceful and private. Really enjoyed coffee on the porch for sunrise and evening chats looking at marsh and wildlife. The house had many uniquely inconvenient quirks. I suppose none of them ruined our stay but might need some attention. Was looking forward to a soaking in bathtub however disappointed that it cannot hold water and is for decoration only plus other small disappointments. However, Management was wonderfully responsive to all major concerns and overall we enjoyed our stay..

Best part was the view, being away from busy historic district. House felt large, with a lot of fun accents. The separate cottage provides privacy for one couple. Usually when we use vacation rentals, we’re driving from home. This time, we flew in and really noticed the lack of basic staples. There’s salt, pepper and a few spices. No aluminum foil or plastic wrap, olive oil, vinegar, etc. So expect to bring or buy pretty much everything if you plan to cook and dine in.

We loved staying at this home & property. The sunrise each morning was absolutely stunning. The option of the screened in porch, open porch, yard & fire pit was so nice to really enjoy the view & outdoors when we weren’t in the historic district. The location was also super convenient to everywhere you’d want to visit in St Augustine.

What a great house! My friends and I have done a girls weekend for the past 6 years and BY FAR this house was the best. The space was perfect, the location was perfect, the house was stocked so well and we were so impressed with everything!

We made a last-minute trip to St. Augustine before the kids returned to school, and this house and location were perfect. There was plenty of space for all six of us to spread out comfortably. The dining room and porches were our favorite spots. The historic district, where we spent most of our time, was just a short drive away. We would definitely stay here again!

This was one of the best and cleanest places weves stayed, privacy and spacious for everyone
