Sea Glass Cottage Oceanfront

House is nice a bit outdated in some areas but still nice. Mgmt company was great had a few issues come up and they had maintenance there few hours later to resolve. The master bedroom bed needs a new mattress was very uncomfortable. The location was great and beaches were beautiful. Probably would not vacation there again but only because I like to go to a place i havent been every year. All in all we all enjoyed our stay and ate out breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday at a different place. Restaurant selection is great and all the food was good especially the seafood my fav.

Definitely needs updating. Had to clean ice maker to make it work. Missing light bulbs in several places. Had to change light bulb in Master Bath toilet room so you could see. Photo of BR 2 is totally inaccurate. Water pressure in shower downstairs was awful. Several pieces of furniture were in need of repair. Upper deck railing was loose. Rug in living trip is a trip hazard. Great location and beautiful beach, but I don't think I would stay in this house again.

Location was amazing! House was very dirty and not clean like the pictures show. Down stairs bedroom floor w the murphy bed did not have air flow and floor was covered with sand. We needed to clean this room too prior to sleeping. Couches have holes on both of them and very dirty - unable to sit on. Smell of the home was mold and even all items brought home have the smell embedded in them. The kitchen floors and cabinet fronts were so dirty with food grime and drips- we had to scrub and clean prior to use. Dishes were put away dirty. If the rental company is contracted to clean- they need a new cleaning company. For the work it took to get this home suitable for my family- I could should bill for cleaning. Also, bugs galore- Roach upon arrival and in the pantry food that was left behind infested and tiny ants covered the kitchen counters. I have rented all over the world and this was our worst experience.

We loved our stay at this property. The rooftop deck was a favorite of all the guests and it was so nice to have such a short walk to the beach from the boardwalk. Would absolutely recommend staying here!

Very nice place. Beach was steps away and wasn't too crowded.

First off the location is great! The back decks were beautiful to enjoy and the walk to the beach right there was ideal. We did have issues with the cleanliness of the house (dirty bedding, towels and trash left over). We did contact the host about this and they offered the cleaners to come back, but we did not want the disruption in our our trip so we cleaned ourselves. There was a miscommunication with the listing stating there was four bedrooms when in fact there was three, but the host did offer alternatives (moving us somewhere else, air mattresses) for this but again we were already unpacked and did not want disruption. The host did communicate well with us about these issues which was appreciative but it did make our trip more stressful which is the opposite of what you want on a beach vacation. All in all I believe they will fix these issues in the future and the location is beautiful.

You can't beat the location....right next to the walkway to the beach. The place was clean, very homey. We're a family of 6 (3 tween girls and a preschooler boy) and everyone slept comfortably. The only thing I noticed, and we didn't really care, was that there were some things that were barely hanging on and when you touched them, they fell apart (bathroom decorative statue, living room blinds, to name a couple). Overall, would definitely come back.

Location is everything. This place has it all. We went 4th of July. Our connection to the property was superb. She came and showed us how to use the dryer. There are some things that are a little run down. The balcony and the veranda need some work but overall, we were pleased and are looking forward to many more trips to this local.

The day was full of a lot of worries that should’ve never been. We waited for the company that owns the house to come fi Positive: I am requesting one 600 Night stay back 400 Cleaning fee 150 for the food that was no longer good at refrigerator issue Negative: The place was not clean, I actually have pictures of dead roaches in the windowsills that they have not cleaned out upon staying we realized that the refrigerator was going bad. The toilet on the down level ran the whole time that we were there.. there is no water pressure on the second level so everybody has to use the shower on the first level. The furniture as you can read previous reviews most of it is broken . The kitchen is not equipped for cooking all the pot are nasty . I have several pictures . I also contacted the property several times . No resolution they did not work with you..

A fantastic place and super clean! Can't beat the price and location. The communication with the staff was great too.There are a few things that might need to be looked into, but not worth subtracting a star.There seemed to be a lot of lights out or we just couldn't figure out how to turn them on. The chandelier in the stairwell only had 1 working bulb and we couldn't figure out how to turn on the light in the master shower.Also, the controller for the TV in the masterbed room didn't work for volume. plus the TV downstairs in the twin bed room didn't light up when turned on. couldn't tell if the tvs display was dead or loose connection. you could hear it though.But despite all that, we had a great time. if we wanted to watch TV that badly we wouldn't be at the beach. Definitely check it out and you won't be disappointed. would definitely come back.

The location is perfect! You definitely pay for the view. The house needs lots of updates. We covered the furniture before sitting on it! Recliner in the corner has an arm that falling off… unusable! Little things need replaced or repaired! Main bedroom has queen bed and definitely has room or a king. Tried to open curtains and it almost fell off the wall! Window locks broken. I feel it was overpriced! Will do more research before renting for a month next year!

The location and the views were great. Lots of good, local restaurants within walking distance.It wasn't perfect. The interior of the house could use some TLC. Needs a new coffee maker for instance.Overall, the location and view more than make up for any of the interior deficiencies. Would rent again without hesitation.

The house was decorated in my favorite colors (Blue and Green), was clean and located near some great restaurants ($$) . We made use of the well planned kitchen for breakfast, lunch and a couple of dinners. Some pans need to be changed out but we had what we needed. The best thing I loved was the most gorgeous beach that was just right past the dunes and a wonderful covered porch on which to view the the dunes and the ocean. The claw bath tub and large shower in the Master suite was a big hit. Bring bathroom disinfectant and extra detergent to wash bath towels for the number is limited. There is a Publix just around the corner with great customer service. This house is definitely in the best location for beach and attractions.

We enjoyed the location immensely! Close to the beach and a few delicious restaurants that were close by. The house is comfortable, although there is some very obvious wear on things such as the rooftop deck patio furniture, the grill, and corn hole boards. The DVD player is also broken, and the main living room tv didn’t work for streaming or cable services. We were very excited to be so close to the beach, and it was beautiful, but we were disappointed in the beach situation. It was our first time in St. Augustine, and we weren’t aware that it is a beach cars are allowed to drive on. So the hopes of having a great spot on the beach anytime we wanted was not the case. Cars can drive up and park there for much cheaper than paying to have a beach house. There was a constant stream of cars driving and parking, which added stress with our young kids playing, an experience we haven’t had at the beach. It’s an important thing to consider when planning to visit St. Augustine.

Stayed: May 2023 Submitted: June 12, 2023

Overall the place was the perfect spot. If given the opportunity I would stay again. We were not able to get TV’s to work. The grass was overgrown inside fence area. The banana tree needs to be cut back some so you can walk easily to back yard space.

Easy check-in and great location with walkable food and drink spots from the house. The location, beach-access, back porch are amazing!

Stayed: June 2023 Submitted: June 04, 2023

The location is fantastic. Stand on one of the two decks and watch the waves, walk to beach from the front door, this house is on the dunes, as close to the beach as one can get. St. Augustine Beach is a fun community, surf shops and restaurants are easy walks from the house and Historic St. Augustine is just a 10 minute car ride.One suggestion- It looks like the TVs are set up with direct tv, but good luck figuring out how to get the satelitte tv on. I recommend having a written direction sheet in front of the television explaining how to work the satelitte tv. This was not a major issue because we were busy doing the beach, but still it would be nice if there were directions for the tv.

Great location but the older unit needs a little facelift. I know you pay for location but at this $ amount you expect a little more than worn furniture, mismatched dishes, and OLD electronics. The dvd player wouldn’t work and since the TV wasn’t a Smart TV we couldn’t even stream our Dish app. Over 4 days never figured out the 4 old remotes or the DirectTV that had no local channels & mostly PPV movies. The upper deck (widow walk) furniture is mostly unusable but The main deck was ok.

The good news first - The location, deck views and beach access are great, as advertised. If you have pets this might be a great spot for you as the furnishings are in rough condition, so you won’t be worried about your pets ruining them. The not so great news - The place just did not feel clean. All the linens were old and worn. The bathmats were dingy and I honestly didn’t trust that they were washed between guests. Also, don’t expect any welcoming amenities - even basics. There was no bath soap, shampoo, or hairdryer. A Keurig coffee maker, but no pods in the holder. No clean kitchen sponges, no dishwasher soap, etc. Be prepared to bring absolutely everything. On the upside, when we called because the TV wasn’t working, they sent a nice woman who spent an hour trying to fix it (unfortunately, she was unable to get it working). She was kind enough to return later with a couple of bars of soap for us - so there’s that.

We had a wonderful stay at Sea Glass Cottage. The location is fabulous, near restaurants and historic St Augustine. The beach is beautiful and clean. We loved sitting on the deck and watching the ocean. The house is comfortable and a good size. Beds are comfortable. Loved having a washer and dryer. The kitchen had what we needed to prepare our breakfasts and lunches. It was great just hopping on the walkway and over the dune to the beach. Our family would love to rent this beachfront home again in years to come!

The upstairs entrance to the staircase didn't have a landing which I thought was dangerous. We loved the location and views.
