Dog Friendly Oceanside Beach Retreat St Augustine Beach! Close to Downtown!

House was not clean. Bathrooms were mid but the whole house floors were filthy. Kitchen cabinets & appliances needed to be wiped down. The couch & house smelled like dog, it’s an easy fix to clean leather furniture & mop to remove the dog odor. Back door didn’t close well. Neighborhood was nice, location was good. Can definitely do something to improve the rating for next guests. My guess is they tried to clean it themselves instead of hiring professionals.

Second time here. New host not as responsive. Had to ask neighbor for help contacting him. Back yard way overgrown upon our arrival but after a couple of messages host did take care of it and it looked amazing. Awesome house and location. Great neighbors. Amazing beach. Can't beat it. Beds could be better--they appear to be king size on queen frames--so hang off the edges. House is very open and large which is great. After lubing the chain and pumping the tires I rode the bike with gears about 10 times on the beach. It worked great. Other bike needs a tune up. We love this house and hope to come back again. It is a gem despite the issues with communication.

House is a great location in a friendly neighborhood short walk to the beach. Owner provides all amenities for families with pets. Second time staying at this house would highly recommend.

This property is in a quiet neighborhood and is perfect for a family home away from home. Our family includes a small dog, and the owners have made sure she was just as welcome as the rest of us! There is plenty of room to spread out and amenities to keep everyone entertained. It’s a short walk to the surf and easy on/off access from A1A. The house is very spacious, very clean, and very cozy. This property will be our “go-to” from now on when we visit the area.

This property views excellent on website but this was when Claire was overseer. We found out, after incurring some problems ( I.e., tv in br did not work, icemaker did not work, tv and internet went out twice with no reset instructions, shower rod fell down in spare bath). We had one initial contact with Claire’s brother who was no help. We had to go buy batteries to fix tv in br. After that, we got absolutely no response when we texted or called the number we were given for the overseer. This could be an excellent property with right management. Backyard needs complete renovation as had overgrown landscaping and weeds. I believe the main issue was we found out Claire passed away and her brother needs help as he would not respond to the issues we encountered or even offer to fix them. Rent at your own risk.

This is a nice house with everything and more that we needed for ourselves and our 2 dogs. We all enjoyed spending time in the fenced back yard. Also, the neighbors were all very friendly. We look forward to returning soon.

This house had everything you could ever need & more. Excellent location. Plenty of room for everyone (5 of us dogs). They even had 1st aide supplies for any emergencies (which we did have). We look forward to staying here again in the future. :)

St Augustine beach has to be seen, beautiful. We really appreciated our dog friendly stay including over sized crate, dog bowls and welcome dog biscuits. The 5 minute walk to the beach was perfect for dog walks(on leash) and sunny afternoon lounging.

This is a very nice and well maintained property in a nice neighborhood and close to the ocean. Fine place to stay!

We had another wonderful, relaxing and homey visit wkth our dog. We love the quiet and peaceful neighborhood.

My husband and I rented this home for 7 weeks during the fall/winter. The home is very spacious with neutral colors and immediately felt warm and inviting. The home is packed with everything you need--enough beach chairs, bedding and towels for a small army. The owner was gracious enough to allow us to bring both our dog and cat into the home. She even purchased a cute scratching post for our cat. This is the perfect house if you have dogs! There are dog toys, dog treats, slow feeder bowls and a huge dog crate with pad in the bedroom. The backyard is lovely and completely fenced in--the owner had it trimmed while we were there. All three TVs in the home have Roku which works flawlessly. The Internet is very fast. The washer and dryer work well. The neighborhood is awesome--quiet, clean, friendly. I used one of the bikes in the garage several times to ride on the beach. They have a wheel cart to bring your things to the beach. The owner was quick to respond to all of our questions. One of the screens was ripped while we were in the home and the owner replaced it without any concern. You can easily walk to nearby restaurants. We mountain biked, saw two great music shows at Café 11, played bingo at the Elks club, took our dog to Good Times Dog Bar in Flagler which was amazing, went to the Alligator farm and ate out a lot! There is so much to do in St. Augustine. We would highly recommend renting this home. We were truly sad to leave and cannot wait to return next year!

The house was very nice. We had a great vacation. The house is in a very quiet neighborhood and a walk to the beach. My family enjoyed being able to get up and walk to the beach. Our dog also enjoyed the house and the beach. Clara was very easy to work with and responded very quickly to any questions. My family didn’t want to leave! We will bring going back!

It was a great week! The house was clean and more than what we could have asked for! It met every single thing we were looking for! Great restaurants nearby, easy drive to downtown St Augustine, and easy walk to the beach. Easy communication with the property owner! I couldn’t have asked for more! The kids loved it and we celebrated a birthday with their grandparents. Thank you for a great time making memories!

Great place, only minutes walking distance to the beach, quiet and very spacious. We truly enjoyed our stay and will be staying again here soon. Also Clara was fantastic with information and getting back to us quickly with answers.

This is a great house, close to the beach and restaurants in a friendly neighborhood, very clean and well stocked. We found the beds and furniture very comfortable and was laid out for dog owners, our dogs especially loved the outdoor fenced in area. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Would love to stay here again!

Can't beat the location of this property - less than a quarter mile walk to the beach and to shops/restaurants on A1A! We appreciate that Clara is very easy to work with and communicative. The house is well maintained with a nice fenced in backyard for the pups. We loved our stay and hope to return! 10/10 star in all categories!
