✅ Cancellation Policy: Please review our cancellation policy, as our calendar will be blocked once you make your reservation and as individual owners, we cannot afford to refund outside of our policy.
✅ Refunds within the cancellation time frame are subject to 3% credit card surcharge that is nonrefundable.
✅ We can not give any refunds for COVID, other illnesses, medical emergencies, funerals, bad weather, or any other unexpected occurrence that is out of our control; therefore, we STRONGLY suggest purchasing travel insurance.
✅ Hurricane season is June through November. We STRONGLY encourage purchasing travel insurance for your trip if your reservation falls within these dates, as we can only refund if there is an official, mandatory evacuation (not a state of emergency) called for the island.
✅ There are two exterior cameras: one positioned above the front door monitoring the entrance, and another on the exterior stairs with a view of the pool. These cameras are utilized solely for insurance and safety purposes and are not monitored unless a safety concern or neighbor complaint arises.
✅ No parties permitted, per OTA regulations.
✅ Pets permitted with a $150 fee for up to two dogs (no cats).
✅ This home is a three-story home - bedroom four on the bottom level, three bedrooms on the second level, and kitchen and main living on the third floor to take advantage of the views of the waterway.
✅ This is Florida, where bugs are plentiful. While we diligently spray monthly, the ever-changing temperatures and occasional rain can sometimes invite a stray bug or two indoors. We do not offer refunds if you happen to see a bug.
✅ Fee for pool heating is $65/day. There is no safety fence around the immediate perimeter of the pool; the yard is fully fenced.
✅ Pool and hot-tub rules are covered in an email to booked guests and posted outside of the pool.
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements, which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $48 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $2 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional. To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform called Happy Guest. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account; it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
✅ Check out is 10 am promptly, as our home takes a minimum of five hours to clean thoroughly. ***Our cleaners charge $50 for every 15-minute increment after 10 am, and guests will be responsible for paying***

Great FL Vacay!

My family and I loved this property. The hosts went over and above to accomodate their guests. They supplied all of the paper products, and had a well equipped kitchen. Some of the fun included a game room, pool, and hot tub. Very nice place for a family vacation!

Great place

We loved staying here. The house is beautiful with a great location. We enjoyed the closeness to the beach. The game room kept us occupied while it rained. The pool area was nice as well. I wish it was warmer so I could have swam. The owners were so helpful and nice. We are coming back!!!!!

Didn’t want to leave!

We are frequent visitors to St. A. We have stayed in houses, apartments, condos on the beach… and After Hours is officially our favorite place we have stayed. The house, the pool, the amenities, all of it was perfect. We couldn’t have wished for better. In fact, my teenager cried when we left. She didn’t want to leave. It was that wonderful of a vacation for us. Thank you!

The Perfect Getaway

We stayed for 3 wonderful days! Everything was absolute perfection - clean, organized, updated, convenient, adorable! Our kids enjoyed the game room, lots of fun to be had. The open space on the top floor (kitchen - living room) made for relaxing evening where we could all spread out and get comfortable together. The bathroom were well stocked with soaps (a nice surprise!). The kids swam in the pool one day, and it was heated and ready for them. Overall, an absolutely amazing stay! Our only regret is not staying longer!

Nice, large vacation rental conveniently located in Crescent Beach

This is a nice, well-kept vacation rental property that is great for a large group (we were only 4) and about 20 minutes from downtown St. Augustine. Located among homes and condos on the Inland Waterway side of A1A, with ample parking for ~3 cars. 5 min walk across A1A highway to the public dune walkover bridge to the incredible Crescent Beach (wide and long), and 3 min walk to the public boat ramp for the Inland Waterway. A highlight is the fenced-in backyard with saltwater swimming pool and hot tub (although this costs extra to heat). Also a bocce ball court and a wide variety of games. The garage actually has been converted into a game room with pool table/ping pong top and old-style arcade games (although the Pacman never worked properly). Groceries are 10 min away at either Publix or Winn-Dixie. Try Paladar for a very good Cubano sandwich. Llama is an excellent Peruvian restaurant. Smokin D's BBQ. A few caveats: First, despite the two nice outdoor decks, there isn't really much of a view of the Inland Waterway. Could never find the bocce balls to use their nice court. The provided beach wagon, chairs, umbrella, kids toys are great, but don't forget you will still have to carry them over the dune bridge to get to the beach. The one kayak is definitely on the cheap side. And finally, the kitchen sounds a nicer in the description than it actually is, for example, none of the knives were sharp. But overall, I would stay here again, particularly with a large group.
