Website photos inaccurate
The photos on the website turned out to be a false representation of the actual property. They show bright beach color rooms & decor, it’s now dull grays. We chose this property for the heated pool which was in poor condition: decking was cracked, the vinyl liner had detached in 2 areas & looked old in need of replacement. No steps just pool ladders whose rungs were slimy and slippery, we slipped off & fell into the pool. Luckily only a bruised shin and stubbed toe. Getting out was unsafe as well so we didn’t use it again. There’s mold behind the kitchen faucet as well as in the master bath. Master bath door to the pool is filthy, as well as having a gap that allows bugs to crawl in. The master shower head is not handheld. Many of the floors have noticeable dips or slant downward as you walk. Overstuffed comfortable chair has been replaced by 2 uncomfortable old chairs that were so filthy we weren’t inclined to sit in them. The cover on the couch needs mending since it’s torn. Overall a poorly maintained property & considering fees charged for cleaning shouldn’t be dirty chairs, doors & windows. The house needs an overhaul/major repairs that a new coat of paint doesn’t fix or hide. It is not a quiet property, it’s so close to US1 that the roar of speeding cars and semis can be heard constantly! This property was not worth what we paid and we will definitely not be back.

nice little home for fam vacay
the property was good for our family vacation. the only thing that I think should be specified is that the pool does not have steps to get in, only two ladders which made it a bit hard to get in the pool with my little ones. Unfortunately the renter before us decided to throw some dog food in the back lawn so we were not able to let my pups run in the yard freely but other than that the stay was great and everyone had a great time

Great Getaway
We had all of our adult children and our furry child with us...it was a very homey and comfortable experience. We definitely had everything we needed. The discount tickets for experiences around town was wonderful! Our only issue was that the house was on a fairly busy road with no sidewalks which made it difficult to walk the dog. We just took him a block over, and we were away from the traffic. Great experience!

We stayed for a week with our dogs and had a wonderful time. The house was clean and fully stocked, the pool was wonderful and the dogs enjoyed the big back yard! It was close to everything we wanted to explore (the old city, beaches, activities) and we will definitely be back! Thanks so much for letting us rent your beautiful home!

Great place, Great location
Property was clean on arrival. Pool was nice in a fully fenced in backyard. 4 adults and 5 children age 8-14 stayed comfortably for a week. Property is close to boat docks on the Matanzas river, old town St. Augustine, and the beaches. I would definitely stay at gathering shores again if in the St. Augustine area.

Family get-together
The home was neat and clean. Plenty of towels for bathing. Bunk beds were not comfortable. A queen bed was in master bedroom but could easily accommodate a king bed. The dryer operates at a very loud volume. Swimming pool was clean. Lounge chairs for pool area would be nice to have available. Owners were accommodating to early check-in.

Spacious home with great heated pool close to everything. Had a few small things that could be improved easily. But overall a great home with lots of beds. My bed had a memory foam mattress and was very comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Laundry room was right in the home. Lovely sunroom with a table and chair was great for dining.

Overall good stay
I stayed recently with family and had a wonderful time. Very close to historic St. Augustine, shopping, restaurants, and the beaches. The actual area that the neighborhood was in looked a little rough around the edges but we had no problems and felt safe while we were there. My biggest complaint is the grass, especially in the back yard. It was to our knees and we felt like we couldn’t truly enjoy the pool. Coming from rainy, SE GA I know how fast the grass can grow in the summer, but I felt like it would have been a better experience if property management had cut the grass before we came. Other than that the water pressure wasn’t the best in the main bathroom but that happens anytime you stay somewhere I feel like. Overall a good stay just wish the yard had been cleaned up more.

Listing Description and Images are not up to date. Property needs TLC
Location and accessibility were good. I-Trips were pleasant to work with. Having soaps, local coffee, & treat coupons was nice. But, like others have said, honestly, the house needs some major TLC. The property doesn't even look like the pictures here. Kitchen & living area floor and the dining table were filthy. The dryer takes many cycles to dry. Bunk beds & all pillows were uncomfortable. Shower curtains are moldy plastic, not cloth. The master shower head is not handheld as the listing describes. There were very few, if any rugs in the rooms. The kitchen sink needs re-caulked. No toaster and few cooking dishes, but 2 cabinets full of wine glasses. Kitchen is a junky, random hodge-podge of stuff. Random junk was everywhere; closets, cabinets, the laundry room and backyard. Laundry room had bed, headboard, dirty linens with notes on them, bed toppers, dirty rugs etc. The sunroom roof has water damage and mold. Backyard the pool/liner is dirty & black on the top, fence is missing boards, leaning, & falling down. Lawn is unkept & landscaping overgrown. No wood. No hammock, Dangling, moldy rope lights just need to be removed.. Didn't go to mgt because it's very unlikely they would have replaced the fence or yard due to cost. Suggest that Mgmt simply remove the broken chairs/items & soiled linens instead of "storing" them at the house & update photos.

Not what we expected
Had trouble with internet service first 3 days and had to drive several miles to beach versus what we are use to doing on other beach vacations. Grass wasn’t cut until last day we was there so it was rather high while we was there first 4-5 days. Just didn’t get the beach vibe from staying here but was very roomy and nice to have a pool to ourselves!
