If you're looking for a cozy retreat by the water where the whole family (and even the dog,) can have a fantastic time, consider this spacious, four-bedroom home in a quiet, residential neighborhood. You'll be just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and pristine, sandy beaches.

Conveniently located right off the A1A, only eight miles from the heart of St. Augustine, this comfortable getaway sits just a few blocks from the beach for fun-filled days of sun, surf, and sand. Less than two miles up the road, there are several restaurants, local shops, and even a couple supermarkets if you need to stock up during your stay. Visit beautiful St. Augustine where you can walk the ramparts of the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, the Castillo de San Marcos, experience three centuries of local history in the Colonial Quarter, and climb the 219 steps of the St. Augustine Lighthouse.

Back at your home away from home, save some money and prepare meals in your full kitchen or relax outside and enjoy the ocean breezes from your second-story deck. Playa House is a two story rental with the main living quarters on the 2nd floor. The 1st and 2nd floors are connected by outside stairs.

If you're planning a family vacation along Florida's Atlantic Coast, reserve this spacious home today.

The rental is on both levels, 1 & 2. The 1st and 2nd floors are connected only from the outside, not inside.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. No more dogs are allowed.

Old and worn down with strange floor plan
Overall, this place is so worn down and it has a strange floor plan in that the downstairs rooms are not accessible from the inside. You have to leave the house, go outside and then enter from the outside. The listing fails to mention this important fact. Not good.

Good location with short walk to very nice beach. Grocery stores nearby. House listed as 4 bedrooms and that was true if you want to count the laundry room as a bedroom. Downstairs apt was not nice. Not nice in really a way. Bathroom bad laundry roo/bedroom bad - lawn watering system came on in middle of night and hit side of room like a water cannon. No one would sit in the sitting area. No one! Fees and taxes doubled our nightly charge🤯

Vacasa is a Very Poor Property Manager...unrespensive and incompetentnt
Disappointing...rented for 28 days and upon arrival. The house and location were fine but from day one 1. Took seven days to connect WiFi 2.Took 12 days to conect TV 3. Clothes washer was never fixed, all 28 days, and Vacasa knew it was broken prior to arrival 4. Will never rent again where Vacasa is the property manager.

Great location but needs a lot of attention
We stay in this area every year and normally have no issues at all. Within the first few minutes of check in we discovered a live roach in the silverware drawer. It was disgusting. Needless to say we purchased plastic silverware for the rest of the stay. Other than that, the kitchen was well equipped. The washing machine was not working and we reached out to the management company by phone and text and they did not respond until 2 days later right before we were leaving. The beds are in serious need of upgrading. They are really old, lumpy and no one was able to get a good night sleep on them. We loved the location and deck but the inside needs a lot of attention. In our opinion, this should not be a reflection on the owner but the management company, Vacasa. They are not keeping it clean and need to be more responsive to guests needs as they arise.

Photos are not up to date
Check in process was easy. The house was cleaned when we arrived. BUT the house was not like it looked in the photos. The stairs and deck are rotting and need to replaced. They were shaking every time we used them. Very unsafe especially with young kids. They need to replaced ASAP. The couch has a big hole which was covered with a blanket. Communication prior to our stay was poor. I took weeks for a response.

As advertised!!
We stayed in this house as a short summer vacation to celebrate graduation and birthdays. It was the perfect space for what we needed. They kids had their own space and it was just a short walk to the beach. We had a few minor maintenance issues which were dealt with in a timely fashion with pleasure. We will definitely look at this property for future trips.
