Perfect Beach Getaway

The place felt welcoming and peaceful; super clean; absolutely beautiful. Appreciated the attention to detail, full kitchen, the wagon full of everything needed for the beach. Even has a pergola & grill in the private back yard. We enjoyed a relaxing time so close to the beach and a Publix. Hope to visit again! Thanks, Rod & Donna, for a 5 star stay!

Flew across country to visit and felt right at home!

We had an amazing time and felt 'at home' while on vacation. Our home base afforded us comfort and all the things we needed to have a wonderful weekend. We were able to get out and adventure around Palm Coast (super close to the beach) and also head to St. Augustine for the day as well. Highly recommended!

Nice place!

The house feels very welcoming, and sets the tone for your beach getaway. Comfortable, well-equipped kitchen, nice sized bedrooms and baths. Positioned right off of A1A, it can get busy, but it is a great place to stay, close to a less populated beach with no "spring break" atmosphere, Nice to have Publix grocery store a quick walk across the road, and numerous restaurants within walking distance. Close to St. Augustine, Flagler Beach, and nearby state parks. Would definitely stay here again.

Birthday getaway

We wanted the beach without the masseuse or the headache. We found it. Publix is directly across the street, so getting snacks to relax with was very easy. Easy driving down the coast to go to some nice restaurants and mom and pop stores was a plus.

A great rental that had many thoughtful touches that made us feel at home during our stay. Very convenient having a Publix right across the street. Located on a main road that made it convenient to many different locations. Very close to Hammocks Beach. Very clean with nice kitchen made this a very comfortable stay. Thank you for such a nice experience.

March Magic

We had a wonderful stay at this property. We area from a rural town/neighborhood so at first blush, the property being on a busy road was a little disconcerting to us. It quickly became clear that we were in a quiet, clean house in a perfect location to access beaches and routes to any where we wanted to go. We did not plan on sitting around, but rather go golfing, visit Daytona, tour St. Augustine, hit area parks, bike trails, and beaches. It was perfect for us.

Beautiful home near the beach

Lovely, comfortable home near the beach with everything you could need for a vacation stay and just as expected! Super easy check-in process and prompt communication with the owners. Easy 15 minute walk to Hammock Beach and right across the street from Publix, making it super convenient. Only wish-for during colder days would be space heaters to enjoy the porch/backyard more and a couple of bikes to go along with the wagon and beach gear.

Couldn't ask for more!

My husband and I booked this home along with his sister and her husband so we can explore Palm Coast prior to relocating there. When we first walked in we all said "this place is gorgeous"! The decor was beachy chic and tasteful. The openness of the kitchen, dining, living area was perfect since we all love to cook. The tile floors made for easy cleanup. The mattresses were very comfortable and baths had plenty of storage space for toiletries. The fold up wagon was a great bonus and was used daily to carry our gear to the fishing pier. The plus was being across the street from Publix - we walked over there a number of times. We will definitely come back before making our final move! THANKS
