Marsh front villa on an acre. Private Dock + hot tub, steps from the beach

I thought the house was very charming. My husband loved that he could make a cup of coffee and go straight outside and do a little fishing. If I could suggest anything to improve the stay, it would be having at least one king sized bed in the house and the shower needs a little work.

We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay at the Shire. While not exactly as pictured, it’s a bit older than it looks in the pic specifically the bottom bedroom and half bath which is actually In a laundry room, it is still a great place to stay and the dock into the marsh cannot be beat. Would stay again.

Totally relaxing…..just what we needed to unplug & unwind.

The location of the property is its best selling point. Unfortunately the home feels unmaintained, and not very comfortable. The AC only has one zone, so your left with a downstairs that is too cold, or an upstairs that is too hot. The exterior door is very difficult to open and close and does not seal to the outside. This left space for bugs to be inside which isn't all that appealing. The exterior chairs and cushions were dirty and old, the one metal chair on the dock was rusting with pealing paint.

This little home is absolutely perfect, it sits on a gorgeous piece of property, we loved sitting out watching the sunset, bird and using the fishing poles to see if we could catch a fish. We walked to the beach every day and had a quick drive into downtown to walk around. The decor is cute and just perfect. Great spot and highly recommend! This place is a gem!

The location was amazing! It was private and peaceful and the views were incredible! The house was very comfortable and cozy and had all the amenities you need! The dock was a great place to fish and just sit and relax and enjoy the sunsets. The host was very responsive during our stay! It was convenient to the beach and St. Augustine. One of the most relaxing vacations, we will definitely be back!

This VRBO is absolutely stunning. We woke up every morning feeling like we were in another country, a European oasis. The hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful while booking. The decor was top notch, crisp and classy. The artistry and thought that was put into this house is evident. Enjoy sunsets, drinks on the private dock OR balcony, comfy furniture, long walks on the beach, a quiet street, and a kitchen filled with all the necessary tools for a home cook meal. We never turned on the TV because the Shire’s ambiance, our company, and calm Alexa music throughout the house was enough. Every evening we looked forward to coming “home” after exploring St. Aug. Could not recommend this magical VRBO enough!! Thank you so much to our generous hosts!

We got the opportunity to stay at the Shire and were thrilled! I’ve watched the Shire get rebuilt following along on Instagram and we jumped at the idea of booking! The dock of the back had great fishing! We got shrimp from a local bait place by the pier. Food recommendations were amazing. The short walk to the beach was perfect, we went frequently. Such a beautiful spot to stay! We will definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay at The Shire. I’ve been following Jess for a few years now and have always admired The Shire. We only live about 2 hours away so decided to book for a couple of days. I wish we had stayed longer. Our weather was lousy and we wished we could of enjoyed the rooftop and the dock more but the views while sitting inside looking out is beautiful and relaxing. We did enjoy our 1st night in the jacuzzi though. We also drove to downtown St Augustine and had dinners at River & Fort and Casa Reina. Both places did not disappoint!!! Thanks for having us at your beautiful rental.
