Serene 2-level home with WiFi & deck - walk to beach, 1 dog welcome

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.

Everything was great! The kitchen had everything you needed and more. I am a cook & baker, and there was everything I needed in the kitchen, from gadgets to baking pans, pots, and an abundance of dishes, silverware and glasses. Located only a couple houses from the beach, this was the perfect place for our family getaway. Check-in was fast & easy and communication was great.

Great location, easy access to the beach. Very comfortable house with space for a large family. Check-in directions did not include a separate code for the lock downstairs. Had to call property manager to get the code; she was very helpful but that info needs to be given along with the main code. We thought that some beach gear may have been at the house (but weren’t sure, so luckily brought chairs, boogie boards from home). The description should make it clear that you need to bring your own. Overall, a very nice stay!

Has good bones….

The reviews from previous guests are pretty accurate. The house itself has potential however it needs a good DEEP cleaning, some fresh paint and updating. The furniture is definitely either handmade or bought at yard sales. The porch really needs attention. The stairs that wrap around the front porch has one step the is short and steep. We called it the death trap. We just used the stairs that went straight down from the back porch. We could not access the bottom living area with the code given to us. We had to call and at the end had to get a physical key. The options for beds were good in the form of if you like hard or soft mattress. The second floor bedrooms were much warmer than the bottom rooms. And yes you have to go outside everytime to access the bottom area. The kitchen cookware needs to replaced. Most of the pans were close to falling apart at the handle. The dishwasher struggled to work. Unless you were physically holding the door closed until it gain suction, it would stop running. The upstairs bathroom has a bathtub however it didn’t drain properly and you were standing in water. The downstairs bathroom is in need of repair for the shower. The shower pan is definitely in need of attention, you can feel it move as you are moving. The TVs were very small and limited channels. There were no grill cleaning utensils that we could locate. Overall to be clear, this would be great for college students or young adults. We are experienced rental professionals.

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.
