5BR Group Friendly Home w/ Pool & Fire Pit

We recently stayed at this property and, overall, it served its purpose for our stay. There were some positives, as well as a few things that we feel future guests should be aware of. The biggest disappointment was that the listing photos appeared to be heavily AI-enhanced and gave the impression that the home was newer and more pristine than it actually is. We were expecting a newer home with very few flaws, but the property is older and some of that age and wear is noticeable. We feel the photos should more accurately represent the actual condition of the house. The layout was also a little unusual, as you have to walk through bedrooms to access the backyard and pool area. The upstairs primary bedroom was very comfortable, and we really enjoyed the kitchen and living room space. The home ultimately worked well for what we needed. There were a couple of maintenance issues during our stay. After showering, water would back up into the tubs in all of the bathrooms, so the drains defi

Location is very nice, even the walk to the beach isn’t ideal if you are carrying lots of stuff. Beach is a little more private. House cleanness was decent given the location and beach. Not far from the city

We had 10 adults and we all fit comfortably, it was easy to find, & allowed an early check in at 3. Other than that I can’t recommend staying here. 3 major issues I want to call attention to. First, none of the toilets flushed /were overflowing the moment we got there. We were told someone would be sent, nobody was. AC stopped working day 2/4. This was a MAJOR ISSUE to which we received little to no help. We had to spam call emergency lines as the house reached nearly 90° for an August vacation in Florida 3rd was the pool being a deep green to the point we couldn’t use it while the temperature in the house soared. All of these issues were brought to Blair’s attention as they unfolded but my group quickly learned a pattern. She would reply quickly a copy and pasted text she was “looking into it”, then ~nothing~ until WE reached back out. These 3 were not trivial problems. The host hides the fact she’s completely unhelpful behind replying quick. Save your money honestly.

Wow this place was absolutely perfect for my group of people! So relaxing and spacious. The neighbors are so nice! It’s right next to the beach and near so many cool places to eat! Overall the house was so perfect and i has a wonderful experience❤️

Great house - we really enjoyed our stay. Blair was very communicative with us to make sure that we enjoyed our visit.

The house was a great space for our family to enjoy our time together. Plenty of space for the nine of us to eat together comfortably and be together without feeling crowded. The pool was wonderful and the short walk to the beach made it a perfect vacation.

Place was very nice and spacious ... close drive to the beach, restaurants & all of St. Augustine. Place would be a 5 star but the backyard was not maintained well which was where we were majority of the trip. Weeds in the rock area by the pool/ bar stools so weren't used and a lot of dead plants that should have been cleaned up for the price we payed. Overall the house was wonder, Blair was quick to respond, had lots of things for our baby that we didn't have to bring and was a clean comfortable home!

Overall, this was a great place to stay! The location was excellent—just a few minutes from Crescent Beach, which we actually preferred over St. Augustine Beach. The home was well stocked with plenty of amenities, including beach chairs and beach toys, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Our kids had an absolute blast, and we would definitely stay here again!

We brought our family here for a short beach trip. We chose this home based on location, space and beautiful pictures provided on the site. This home does need updating to match the listing online. The foyer was missing the nice welcome basket of drinks and snacks that online pictures portrayed. A lot of the outdoor furniture is not the same nor is the fire pit, the bedroom with two bunk beds is a lot smaller, and the top bunks were a bit too high to the ceiling making it a bit challenging to use. Upon our arrival we found the pool full of leaves and debris, we cleaned this up ourselves with an old pool net with holes that was provided but needs replacing. The hosts was very responsive and did call the pool crew out the next day to clean the pool For the price of this rental, there needs to be updates to match online pictures and maintenance to the landscape. I would give more stars if pictures matched my full expectation from online photos

We enjoyed staying there. It’s not really walking distance to the beach but it is convenient to the drive on and off ramps. Could use a little TLC in the backyard and pool area but it was still nice enough. Like others stated, the set up is odd because you have to cross through a bedroom to get to the back porch so in the evenings it made it difficult to relax on the porch if the baby was in her crib asleep. Ultimately, it was a great memory to make with my family and Blair was wonderful and responded very quickly to any inquiries.

We had a wonderful stay here! Any questions we had or concerns, Blair was quickly responsive and very helpful which gave us peace of mind. We will definitely keep this place in mind next time we visit Saint Augustine.

Blair’s place was perfect for our last minute trip. He accommodated same day booking and was great with anything we needed! Super responsive. Overall a great stay.

Overall, this place was comfortable and had a great location. Blair was a great host and very responsive. The interior has been thoughtfully updated and the beds were comfortable. We did feel that the pool and exterior were outdated and had not been cleaned; we felt that it was different than the pictures. But the overall house and experience was positive.

Our experience was excellent. The property is very comfortable, well-equipped, and exactly as described. We truly enjoyed our stay. We especially want to highlight the communication with the host—she was always very kind, attentive, and responded very quickly to every message, which made everything much easier. Overall, everything was great, and we would definitely recommend this place.

This was a wonderful place to stay for a girls trip! The house was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Blake was incredibly responsive and very easy to work with, which made the whole experience stress-free. The location was also great and made it easy for us to enjoy our time. I would highly recommend staying here.

The house is not properly unkept and had roaches and bugs everywhere definitely needs a good cleaning and upkeep

Nice place!

This house was absolutely perfect for my fiancées bachelor trip! There was plenty of room for a large group and the outdoor space was perfect for them to watch the Super Bowl! We would definitely stay again even for a family vacation

Excellent place, close to the beach! Great hosts!

The house was spacious and very clean, and our kids especially enjoyed the pool and spa. The beds were comfortable, and the location was great, an easy walk to the beach. The layout was a bit unusual, as the most convenient access to the backyard was through bedrooms on either the upstairs or downstairs levels. For a home that sleeps up to 14 people, the kitchen was somewhat under-equipped; the pots and pans were limited and quite small, making it difficult to cook a large meal, and the amount of silverware was also on the lower side. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay, and Blair was a wonderful host who was easy to communicate with.

Stay was wonderful. The host was super responsive and was able to accommodate our large family. The location was walking distance from the beach which was great for us!

This place was amazing and the hosts are awesome

We loved the home, from its kitchen to the rooms out to the grill and pool. It was just perfect for me and my family. Super spacious and clean. Blair was an amazing host. Super responsive , and kind. Recommend the home 100%.

Good solid option. Always are things to improve. Was not gas on the bbq but yes gas on the fire pit. Most of the glass were plastic and for the previous reviews and cost of the property we expects little more quality. Overall like I said, good solid choice.

Perfect house for my two children, their spouses and my 5 grandchildren. The pool and hot tub were a hit! There were plenty of pool and beach toys and activities for the children at the house. Would definitely stay there again in the future.

The house was perfect for our bachelorette trip weekend - the house felt bigger than the pictures so the living room areas worked perfectly for a big group and we had enough beds for all 12 of us. Blair was very responsive when we wanted to heat the pool and just to any other inquiries. The house had ample plateware and towels to get us through the weekend. Would recommend!

Lo pasamos muy bien en familia , de hecho tuvimos un filtración de agua , y lo repararon muy rápido.Ssm muy buena persona. La casa muy amplia, pero sugiero un upgrade a los muebles de terraza y más iluminación en la parte trasera del jardín donde están los árboles pequeños

This home is everything it said it was. Very clean, comfortable, well decorated, and fun! The pool and the hot tub was why we booked it for our group, and we were all very pleased with the whole scene! Comfortable beds. Good communication. Will be recommending this spot for friends.

All in all Blaire’s place was great! Plenty of space and amazing amenities. We cooked a couple of meals at the house, and the kitchen was spacious, clean and well stocked with anything you may need (pans, dish ware, pots, oil, salt and pepper and other basics) The beds and sheets were also extremely comfortable! Everyone in our group couldn’t stop talking about it. The pool was very clean, and we definitely took advantage of the great outdoor space. The location is close to the beach, and an easy drive to downtown St. Augustine. Blaire was extremely communicative throughout the whole process. Will definitely book again if we have a larger group heading back to St. Augustine!

Blair’s place was perfect for our book club girls trip! Plenty of common areas and enough bedroom and private space for people to have their own zone. We loved the house! The sheets in the master suite were THE SOFTEST I’ve ever slept on! Be wary of a soft spot on the upper deck near the top of the spiral staircase, otherwise perfect!

Super responsive, very helpful stayed in touch throughout the duration of our trip. Highly recommend Blair.

The home itself was very clean and exactly as the photos and description described. Blair did a great job of communicating prior to arrival and expectations. We had a few unforeseen circumstances with the house involving their septic system. There was delay in getting these issues fixed which was frustrating. The management team (Kolk Homes) was where the issue was with communication and maintenance. Sending septic assistance promptly would have solved many of our problems, with the delay we were left with further issues. The home itself was clean and plenty of space for the girls trip.

We enjoyed our stay. We had 12 people and we all fit just fine. The kids loved the pool and the down stairs game area. Easy walk to the beach and in a nice area. No reason not to book a stay!

The house is beautiful and the amenities are plentyfull. We enjoyed the property.

We visited St. Augustine with a group of 10 on a girls' trip, and it was wonderful. Beautiful home with easy walking distance to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked, and the outdoor pool/grill was perfect. Thanks for the memories!

it was very peaceful and exactly as described. thank you for being such a wonderful host!

Nice home! My only concern was having small children and the wood steps/stairs but there was a baby gate in the home to use which was awesome!

Great location for Ocean access a short distance away. Excellent staycation as well with a swimming pool and two living room areas. Lots of space. Very accommodating!

The house was warm and inviting! We booked it mainly for the back yard and pool. We were looking to relax and that’s exactly what we did. Blair was a great host.

Great house and great host! House is very well appointed. We had a great stay.

Blair’s place was a fantastic stay for me and my family. She was super easy to stay in contact with and the home was beautiful. It had everything we needed! We would definitely all stay again!

Blaire’s home was exceptional and such a fun place to celebrate my bachelorette trip with my girls! It’s rare I am able to get everyone together at the same time so I am truly so thankful for this house! The home and the pool were very clean, and I felt we had plenty of extra towels! Thank you Blaire and I hope I get a chance to visit this home again!

We had a wonderful stay at Blair’s house! The pool and spa are amazing and the house is under a 10 min walk to a beautiful beach. Thanks for hosting such a special weekend!!

We had a great 3-night stay in St. Augustine at Blair’s property! We arrived at night and had no trouble getting in and settled. The house is spacious with 2 living areas and lots of sleeping spaces. The primary bedroom is huge and has a balcony that overlooks the pool. Only thing to note for guests is to request the pool heater turned on so you can swim right away in the Spring when temperatures are back and forth. We enjoyed our stay very much and Blair was very attentive to our needs!

Muy cómoda casa y muy amable Blair! Fue una muy buena opción para conocer St Augustine y su playa Volveríamos encantados!

Stayed here with a few of my coworkers for a Daytona bike week. Perfect location. Close to Saint Augustine downtown area and also not too far away from the Daytona area. Beautiful house, plenty of room, and great neighborhood. It was close to many restaurants. The host messaged every day checking in on us. Will definitely stay here again.

Our family of eleven had an amazing time at Blair’s home. There was so much room with 2 levels, 3 bathrooms and the backyard was our go to place. The pool and hot tub was the highlight of our trip. So private and roomy, we spent most of our time there. This location is perfect with Crescent Beach a few minutes drive away, St Augustine was so much fun to walk around and we went to a couple of free kids parks which our grandchildren enjoyed. Blair was an excellent host and checked in with us often. If you are wanting a quiet, scenic getaway, book with Blair. You will not be disappointed. Larry

I like the place Blair was very friendly and check of us by the time we stayed there he was make sure we are ok or if we need anything I highly recommend this place and work with Mr Blair thank you for everything

Loved it! Easy and beautiful stay!

We had a great stay at Blair's place.

Loved our stay! Perfect pool/ out door area to hang out! Also Blair was quick with responses & helped us with all our needs! Thank you!

Had a great stay at Blair’s place. The house had everything clean and working perfectly. We were a group of 12 and had a wonderful time. Patrick was very responsive whenever we needed help. I would book again when visiting St. Augustine.

Great place to stay!

Blaire was very responsive when attention was necessary to a few issues in the house.

Shoutout Blair for being a great host and the home is very beautiful and spacious! Highly Recommend!

I can't say enough about this location. From start to finish the process was very easy. The house was immaculate and the host was fantastic! Would definitely stay here again we had a ton of laughs and felt right at home because the host made it that way!

It was a great experience! Beautiful home with a lot of space for guests. The hosts were amazing at communicating & answering back quickly. I would 100% come back.

We had a great time. It was comfortable and convenient.

Thank you for the accommodations.

We had a wonderful stay! My family of 12 (including 5 children) enjoyed every moment of our stay. Blair and Cali were responsive, and in all of their interactions they were kind and generous. The house is beautifully decorated and thoughtfully laid out. There is ample space for a big group, but the house also has a warm, cozy feel for smaller groups too. There are tons of items to use for a beach day. The pool was great for the kids and adults. I definitely plan to book again!!

Blair and Cali were exceptional hosts. The house is very cute and our family of 13 enjoyed the pool and walked to the beach every day, it’s 0.5 mile walk each way that even the three year old didn’t complain about! The local beach access is perfect and they provide a beach cart and tons of beach toys and activities to enjoy. Thank you for hosting our summer family vacation

We had a great time at this house. Everyone loved having the private pool and hot tub. We also spent a lot of time in the basement playing darts and Pac-Man!! Thanks for a great week in a beautiful home!!

The beds were comfy and the space was as advertised. We enjoyed the common area which gave plenty of space to play board games and reconnect with our family. It was nice having a high chair for our little one. The hosts were very communicative and addressed issues that popped up.

The home is welcoming and attractively furnished with good size kitchen, multiple areas available for eating, hanging out, and having fun. The windows allow plenty of light and are fashionably dressed to be able to cut sun when needed and allow for privacy when wanted. The three bathrooms were very clean and allow for showers or tubs if you have little ones that need bathing. The pool and Jacuzzi are a nice size. The glow of the blue lights illuminating the pool at night provided a tranquil feeling. The upper and lower covered deck areas gave great places to enjoy being outside to lounge, grill or eat out of the sun and be protected from non blowing rain. The lighted fans provided air flow if there was not enough breeze. We ate lunch at the good size table on the upper deck except when we went into St Augustine, just 30 minutes away, for the day and early evening. We did not use the fire pit area. We did have one problem occur that the host responded to immediately.

Plenty of room for our family and lots of fun things for the kids. We really enjoyed the pool.

The pool was our favorite amenity! The house was spotless and check in was prompt and easy.

I stayed with 10 high school friends to celebrate turning 65. The house was perfect for our large group. We enjoyed hanging out at the pool and walking to the beach. Other than walking to the beach, we didn't really explore the immediate area so I can't comment on restaurants or stores nearby. We did Uber into the "cute" area of Saint Augustine and took a trolley ride, shopped and ate at a few restaurants. It was about 15-20 minutes away by car. The host was very accommodating and quick to respond to my questions both before and during our stay. One of the women forgot her Kindle and the host was gracious enough to send it back to me. The only thing I thought was missing was a dish towel to dry the dishes. There was a dishwasher but sometimes you want to wash and dry manually. I would go back again!

Place was great. Well stocked with all the necessary amenities. Pool heater was worth it as it would have been too cold to swim. Always responsive with communication. Would definitely recommend.

N/A

Had a great time! Loved being able to walk to the beach. Can’t wait to stay here again!

Wonderful house with exceptional hosts! Lots to do at the house and close to a lot of other things to do. We loved the space.
