This is a great place! The view is fantastic! We watched the sun come up every morning from the spacious deck. I would not consider the house as "rustic" just because there is not TV or phone, it has every other ammentity to make it a very relaxing vacation getaway! This house has a lot of charm and a perfect location to get away from the tourists and hunt for seashells. The owner's personal art work throughout the house really adds a nice touch. We really enjoyed the breeze and the sounds of the waves, many times we just opened the windows and turned off the A/C - Perfect!! Everything you need is only 1 - 2 miles up the road. If you stay on a Wednesday be sure to check out the farmers market at the pier. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to friends and family. We do not recommend eating at the Saltwater Cowboys restaurant - slow service and bad food..

Our third year staying in this cottage and we are ready to go back. Watching the sunrise over the ocean is amazing. Watching the dolphins play every day and finding so many different kinds of seashells we really enjoyed. The cottage has everything we needed from the full kitchen to extra pillows and blanket. It was like having our own private beach. Close to town but away from all the hotels and crowded beaches. We would never stay anywhere else. Love being only feet away from the ocean. Two weeks was not enough, we hope to stay longer next summer.

This lovely cottage was exactly what we were looking for and exceeded our expectations. An easy drive from Jax airport. If you want to be ON the water, this is it. Private and quiet. Spacious outdoor deck - just walk down a few steps to the sand and water. The ocean/beach were pristine. Great for long walks, barefoot, in high and low tide. Water temp in August was perfect, cool, great swimming. Cottage was clean, bright and perfect for two. Comfy bed, and great shower. Thx for bbque grill! Fun to cook out on the deck in the evening sunset. Was fun watching dolphins follow schools of fish. Lots of birds. The homeowner was prompt and very helpful. And thanks for no TV! Boom-box was nice. Good local radio. Easy, 2 minute drive over bridge into St. Augustine for dining, shopping and history. We will be back! Thanks D. and M.

We had a wonderful week at your beach house and have been truly impressed with the area. Aside from the joy of being so close to the sea at all times, the highlight of our stay was dinner at Cap's on the first sunny day as the sun was setting!

..a beautiful house available at a reasonable pric

We really enjoyed the decor of your house, its privacy and the wonderful view of the ocean. However, it would be especially nice for elderly visitors to have a railing on the beach access stairs. My mother is 81 and would really appreciate this for future visits. Also, a weather radio or a small TV for weather forecasts would be useful. It was difficult to get weather forecasts on the radio.

Thank you for communicating so promptly and for having just a beautiful house available at a reasonable price.
