What a beautiful home!! It was absolutely perfect for spending the weekend with friends and entertaining our little ones! The hosts were so extremely helpful and responded back to us within minutes with any questions that we had. They even went out of their way to put a ramp for our son with disabilities. We will absolutely be coming back!!!!! A wonderful stay.

Unreal! We had a wonderful time here. Very well stocked from the kitchen to the bathrooms. Already planning another trip here! The short walk to the beach was awesome and the beach was unbelievable. Quiet streets. Great covered front porch. The beds were actually more comfortable than mine at home!! Response time to any question was within 5 minutes. You guys have a great airbnb!

I visited with a group of friends and had a great stay! The house had everything we needed. It was close to the beach and easy enough to get to St. Augustine

We had a great stay at Catrina's. She was very responsive and the house had everything we needed and more! There was plenty of room for my husband and I, three adult children and two dogs. Don't hesitate to book!
