Our first family vacation

Hats off to the owners. This property is very spacious and well appointed. Loved the kitchen. Even the wind and rain on the first 3 days could not dampen our spirits. The facility offers so much and the staff are knowledgeable and very friendly. Secured beach access is a short walk from the condo and the pools and hot tubs are well maintained and available from 9am to 10pm. Everything you could need is within just a mile or two, grocery stores, drug stores and restaurants. We enjoyed the food and atmosphere at the Oasis and Zaharia's restaurants. A 10 minute ride will get you to the lighthouse and 15 minutes will get you into downtown St Augustine. Perfect location for whatever you have in mind. We had a wonderful relaxing week at the beach, if there is such a thing with a 2 year old grandchild along. We are looking forward to returning soon.

Your condo was very beautiful and well supplied and Ernie couldn't have been nicer to work with. We made one mistake, we left my son and his wife take the master bedroom and the town beds in the guest bedroom were too hard for my husband and me. Otherwise everything couldn't have been better! We just both have bad backs and can't take hard beds. Thanks so much for sharing you wonderful condo with us. I'm telling my other son about it incase he makes it to St. Augustine next year. Thanks again, Kay and Rich

Ernie and Gayle,
Thank you so much for a clean, comfortable place for us to spend our vacation. The unit is really impressive and Ocean Gallery provides such a safe, fun community. Our kids spent most of their time in the pool! We had a wonderful week and very much appreciated the chance to stay in this great condo!

Haven't had a family vacation in about 3 years. So glad we came to St. Augustine and stayed here. This condo is clean, spacious, and close to the beach. Our friends in Atlanta were right - this is a wonderful place!

This is the first time we rented a condo and I must say we are very happy that we choose this condo. It was very clean, comfortable, and quite. We would rent this condo again. The beach was so close and with two small kids that was important.
Thank you

Dear Ernie & Gayle,
I have to admit I was a little sick when Jim informed me that he had sold this condo! He did assure me y'all were great people & all would be fine.
This is our third year at Ocean Gallery & it just keeps getting better!
Thanks for sharing your condo, once again, we loved it!

We have had a lovely holiday here in your condo. This is the 6th time we've stayed at Ocean Gallery, but would definitely book your condo next time. It has been a real 'home from home' for us. We'll no doubt be in touch soon!

Hi Ernie & Gayle,
This is the first time our family of 20 got to stay at Ocean Gallery. Your condo was by far the nicest of the four that we rented. We've been renting condos on the Fourth of July week for 19 years. Yours was the best of them all.

Hi Ernie and Gayle,
I just wanted to let you know that we had a lovely time in sunny St Augustine, as always. Your condo is really lovely and we will definitely be booking with you again in the future. We've stayed at Ocean Gallery a number of times in a variety of condos and yours is now our favourite! It was very well equipped and we had everything we needed, though one small suggestion if I was to add something it would be an iPod docking station. We took our own with us so it wasn't an issue, but it would be great noy to have to take ours next time!
Kind Regards,
Sue

We arrived late to the Ocean Gallery complex but the key was waiting for us at the gate along with basic information we needed until the office was open the following morning.
We were pleased to find an extremely clean and well stocked Condo which was perfect for our family of 4. The kids loved the pool and the proximity to the beach. We minor problem with the hot water heater which was fixed straight away and it was a nice touch that the owner phoned to make sure it was all ok.
Can't fault it at all, would certainly recommend to anyone, and will look to try and return next year.

Great condo, esp for people with kids. Close to the pool, and on the ground floor, easy to bring things in. short walk to beach. the complex is nice and well kept. complex is gated and feels safe. good location to shopping, dining and just a short easy drive to the city of st. augustine. we enjoyed the many things to do in the area. it is historic and fun place to go. the beach is very nice and clean. we had a great time!

We had such a wonderful time in this beautiful home on the beach. Everything was just as Jim described it and we were more than pleased. So nice to meet you both! We were strategizing when we can make it back, but not too soon because we are also strategizing how to be Jim and Debbie when we grow up! We cooked brownies and cookies, sipped coffee, and played at the beach. It's very hard to leave!

Our family had a wonderful time during our stay in St. Augustine - a much needed respite from our hectic lives!
Your condo was a perfect spot for us - 2 Adults/2 Teenagers & plenty of space - Walkable to the beach (a daily trek) - Close to the pool - Everything we needed.
We've stayed in many rental properties and I must say that your accommodations have been one of the best!!
If our travels find us in this area again - we'll definitely stay here!!

Dear Jim and Debbie,
I am not a world traveler - in fact since my husband died, I've been nowhere. So believe me when I say this - this is paradise! I haven't felt this relaxed and happy in years. My kids and grandkids had the time of their lives. The unit is gorgeous - Debbie, your decorator touch is fantastic. I love everything - the shadow box of shells in the 2nd bathroom just touched me for some reason - so simple and yet tells a story. The porch area was my area. So peaceful! Every amenity possible. I understand how you could have lived here. I surely could!
Thank you so much.

Dear Jim and Debbie:
Writing this, I'm sitting on the couch enjoying the beautiful view of the lagoon. Rob and I have thoroughly enjoyed being your guests this week at #55 Village Del Lago. The weather has been delightful and it's such a pleasure at the end of the day enjoying your beautifully decorated condo. I especially like the "palm tree" theme you've carried into each room.
Thank you for letting us stay here. We look forward to visiting again soon.
Sincerely,
Rob and Rachel
