Perfect!

This is a wonderful home and we thoroughly enjoyed staying here. The owners were very responsive and helpful and the property itself was absolutely ideal. Everything we could have possibly needed was there and even included some thoughtful additions that you don't always get like a beach cart, boogie boards, towels, and other niceties. The owners have also done a tremendous job furnishing and decorating the home, and it has a very warm and inviting feel. The neighborhood is very quiet and located close enough to the beach (just a pleasant 5-10 minute walk) but still far enough off the beaten path. We simply did not want to leave, and look forward to returning soon! Thank you Inga for letting us enjoy your wonderful property!

Best 16th Birthday

We were looking for something close to the beach but also close to St. Augustine. It was the perfect location! Quiet location, near public beach access and close enough to visit family in St. Augustine. Inside has been remodeled with nice decor. Would recommend this place if your looking for a quick trip or a longer stay. We had a great time!

I know this is picky , dead batteries in the TV remote and no cable, I like watching local news in the morning and night when out of town, the TV was run thru Apps , and trying to figure out how to use 2 remotes and figure out apps with remoted with dead or very weak batteries is frustrating

We will definitely be back time and time again. We loved that we close to everything but secluded.

This was absolutely one of our top 5 properties that we have stayed at. Inga was amazing and always responds quickly. Our favorite part was how close we was to everything but we was also away from all the hustle and busyness. The house is just as it was explained and the pictures don’t do it justice. We are already talking about our next trip and hoping we can get our older 3 to join us.

Paradise Retreat

We had a wonderful vacation at this property. The home was exactly as listed, so tastefully decorated and comfortable and in close proximity to the beach (walking distance), shopping and tourist attractions. The owners are lovely people and always a phone call or text message away which was very comforting. We hope to return again.

Great stay at ParadisevRetreat

We enjoyed our stay at Paradise Retreat, the house is just as the photos, furnishings and decor are great and it was spotlessly clean. Everything is there that you need for a relaxing holiday , including beach chairs, towels and umbrellas. A short drive to St Augustine where there are lots to see and do . We enjoyed Anastasia State Park and beach. Inga kept in touch to make sure all was ok , which it was, and to see if we needed anything. We would definitely recommend it , it felt like a home from home. Susan & Gordon, UK
