Fantastic experience
After i spent time reading reviews i had low expectations. But vacasa must have taken the feedback and improved a few things because i thought the property was terrific! The house was very clean. It is decorated in a cute, beachy theme. It is the perfect size for 5 or 6 people. There is nothing wrong with the stairs and i didn’t encounter any bees like another reviewer. The kitchen is stocked with more than adequate dinnerware, utensils, large plastic cups with lids and straws to use at the pool, even salt and sweeteners for your coffee. I thought there was plenty cleaning supplies as opposed to another reviewer. It is a super easy walk to the beach. You have to cross a1a, but it is only two lane at this spot and there is an electronic crosswalk sign to make it easy and safe. There are a couple beach chairs and a cart to take to the beach. The beds are very comfortable- even the bottom mattress of the bunk beds (i didn’t sleep on the top one). A/c worked great, as did wifi. The pool is perfect. It’s true a little grass does get in it after the lawn service mows on thursdays, but it is very easy to use the pool skimmer to get it out in 2 minutes tops. When we contacted the management company via text we received immediate answers. Maybe other folks had a different experience than we did - but we couldn’t think of any constructive criticism- it’s just a great place!

Great Location but Bee-ware
First the positives: The house location is great, walkable to the beach and in a nice, family neighborhood. The size was just big enough for our small family with plenty of TVs (if everyone wants to watch something different) and great Wifi. It’s also great to have use of the beach caddy/chairs especially if you are not driving to the house for your vacation. Now, the negatives, that sadly outweigh the positives: The only access to the house is via old wooden stairs in desperate need of repair (not sure they would pass any code) that have been eaten away at by a swarm of carpenter bees. The deck in both the front & back are also old wood with swarming bees making the use of the outside sadly impossible. You have to dodge giant bees entering & leaving the front door and we didn't even get to enjoy the pool. Also, it should be noted that the game room in the garage is not accessible from inside the house. You have to go out the bee-infested front entry, down the precarious wooden stairs, unlock the side garage door, then open the back garage door. This is the only access to the backyard as well. There is no access to the pool/yard from the kitchen sliders/deck. Be aware that the bunk beds are incredibly squeaky and unsleep-able. Luckily our daughter was able to sleep in the Queen bed which was very comfortable. It would also be nice if they provided more garbage bags and cleaning supplies to keep your space clean. This is a long review, but I am hoping to help families plan.

Great for families
House was great for our short trip to St. Augustine. About 10-15 minutes from the historical area. The house was equipped with most needs ( a few more cleaning supplies and garbage bags would have been nice). The house was a few blocks from the ocean, straight shot from closest East West cross street bonus you can drive on the beach with the appropriate vehicle. The downstairs game room was great. We didn't use the pool, but the whole outdoor area is well equipped for the whole family. We would definitely rent this property again it was a quiet location but close enough to everything we wanted to do.

Amazing location and amenities!
This was a great stay. The house was exceptionally clean and furnished with an in-ground pool, fenced in yard and super close to the Butler Beach and a Cuban cafe for early morning coffee or a Mexican restaurant for some quick eats. Everything is supplied and in great shape. All you need are groceries, sun block and a fun attitude. There’s a great putt-putt course down the road and lots of places along the beach to swim and surf in, grab shells or sea glass, and walk the estuary. I’d recommend you bring your bikes if so inclined. I was trying to book again, but they’re already booked so if you see the week you want, grab it. This place was a real gem. I’m a single dad with two teens and a little dog and it was worth every mile and dollar to be here. We had the best time!!

Had better expectations
After reading several positive reviews about this property, we were excited to stay here. Overall, the house is nice. Feels like newer construction. TVs in every room and a private pool out back. The bad news is that the house was infested with bugs. Ants, fleas, gnats, you name it….it was there. Contacted the property rep who said they would reach out to an exterminator. Never heard back. We all have bug bites all over and we had to throw away a lot of food that got covered in ants. There’s no pantry to keep food in. The ants are obviously a known problem as there were already ant baits out on the counter when we got there. But fleas and other bugs too? In the beds and on the living room seats? Understand this is a pet friendly house, but obviously someone had a dirty animal. Although the cleaning company did okay, there was still a bunch of dog hair on the floor. Also, two days after the pool was “cleaned” which included a VERY heavy dose of chemicals and chlorine so strong we could barely swim in it, a landscaper came and cut grass. Blew tons of lawn clipping in the pool and all over the pool deck. Because the pool is cleaned on Mondays, it remained filthy the rest of the time we were there. I don’t fault the property owner for any of this. This is typical of big vacation companies like Vacasa. Mediocre property management at best and poor response when there’s an issue. Lastly, you get one tiny outdoor trash can for the entire week. Needless to say, it was overflowing by mid week, and on checkout day, we got to clean up trash that had been torn through by raccoons. Who can blame them? We had no choice but to leave trash on the ground. This place has a lot of potential, but needs a more attentive property manager or the owner needs to be more aware of the issues that are being ignored by the property manager.

Wanted to love it, but ☹️
House itself was as advertised—clean and in a nice neighborhood. However, upon arrival, the pool (main reason we booked this property) was green with algae along the sides and bottom. Had sample tested—no chlorine!!! After numerous messages, the pool was shocked on day 3, but not actually cleaned, so of course the issue was never fully resolved during our week-long holiday stay. Ultimately, we did receive a credit for the poor condition of the pool. Unfortunately, however, we do not recommend this property if being able to use the pool is important to you.

Worst vacation rental I have ever had. Vacasa was horrible to deal with.
We arrived on Saturday June 25. Upon arrival we were met with 3 large outdoor trash bins overflowing with garbage that smelled as it had been there for weeks. You have to walk past it to get in the house. It was disgusting. The advertised sparkling pool was covered in green algae. I wouldn’t let a dog swim in that. The main reason we rented this house was for the pool for our 10 year old granddaughter. I immediately called Vacasa and was told they would get someone out that afternoon. No one ever came. I called and texted every single day multiple times a day and no one ever Showed up from Vacasa to Get the trash or service the pool. Garbage pick up was on Monday and we took all that trash to the street. I will add that there were 6 of us in the house and we didn’t fill up one of those bins the entire week. So, I wonder how long that trash had been out there. The algae continued to get worse and still nobody came to clean the pool. Our granddaughter was heartbroken. Finally, by Tuesday night someone at Vacasa calls me back and offers a forced move. Of course, a week before July 4 th, there were no other comparable houses available. The advertised gas grill was so nasty it couldn’t be used. Some of the outdoor furniture needs to be disposed of. My husband fell out of one of the Adirondack chairs that was broken when he sat down not seeing it was broken. Luckily he was not hurt. Vacasa finally issued a partial refund, but I feel it wasn’t enough. We would have gone somewhere else to stay if we could have found something. On numerous occasions I asked Vacasa to have a manager calle me. My requests were totally ignored. I sent them daily pictures of the pool and they never sent anyone out to clean the pool.I kept getting canned text responses saying a ticket had been created and someone would get back to me. My husband ended up buying a pool brush, and the necessary pool chemicals to clean the pool himself ( we had our own pool for over 30 years)so our granddaughter could swim the last 2 days we were there. I was so stressed at the end of the week from trying to get a response from Vacasa, I need another vacation. I will say that the house itself is lovely and the interior was clean. But, with all the other issues, my vacation was ruined.

Perfect rental
Took a quick end-of-semester trip with my 15 year old son and our two dogs. This was the perfect rental for us! Very clean and comfortable, very secure yard for the dogs to explore and close enough to walk them to the beach. Also loved the outdoor shower with removable sprayer so I could wash off their paws after the beach. The dogs also loved being able to relax on the back deck in the sun. Short drive to downtown for exploring with my son too. We hope to be back after school gets out in May, this time with my husband, and when it’s warm enough to use the pool!

Great property and neighborhood. One bedroom had been updated, different from booking pictures. Nice update. Yard was nice but our weather didn’t allow use of pool. The agreement asked us to replace supplies used but we had minimal garbage bags upon arrival (2) and no food baggies so we didn’t replenish. There was very little laundry soap but we did supply a bottle when leaving. Would definitely recommend this property and would rent again!

This property was super clean and had everything that we needed during our stay. The game room was a complete and awesome shock to us. The beach is walking distance from the house.

We did not have any issues so we did not have to Contact anyone during our stay. We did receive a call before we arrived to let us know that there was some debris in the pool due to a recent storm and that the pool is scheduled to be cleaned in 2 days. There was some leaves but nothing major and did not stop my kids from getting in. Would definitely stay at this property again.

Great house located in a quiet neighborhood with private pool
We had a great week at this rental. The listing was exactly as described on VRBO. We were within a few minutes walk to the beach access and loved having a fenced- in yard with a private pool. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to invest in a luggage lift off the back porch. Lugging everything up and down the steps, was the only draw back to this property. We would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable Stay for 6 Near a Quiet Beach
This house provided a comfortable stay for our party of 6. My husband and I, plus our two kids and two of their friends. The 3 bedroom home allowed the boys and girls to have their own rooms and the shared living/dining spaces were plenty large enough. And for those that haven't been to this area before - Butler Beach is pretty quiet. There were days it looked like a private beach. It was also a surprise to learn you could drive on this beach (at a cost). It was a big perk to have the linens and bath towels provided. There were even some beach towels at the house - but we didn't need to use them. I felt like the kitchen was well equipped. I wish I had knows about the Keurig in advance. I thought the house only had a coffee pot. The furnishings were pretty comfortable. Didn't feel too used. I thought the cleaning service did a good job. Other perks: the house came equipped with a couple beach chairs, pool floaties and a wagon to haul stuff to the beach. The property management company was very responsive via text. And even called me to follow-up on a concern. Some minor Cons: -- The cleaning service was still there when we arrived at our 4:00 check in. Only about a 15-20 minute overlap. -- The pool was dirty. A lot of tree debris at the bottom - so not something we could easily remove with the provided net. We arrived on Saturday and the pool service arrived on Monday. -- The lawn service mowed while we were at the beach and shredded a couple of our pool toys. Thankfully they were inexpensive. -- The bedroom with the twin beds is very small, and doesn't have a dresser of any kind. Only a closet. The bed frames were super squeaky as well. -- I personally got a little tired of the 10 minute walk to the beach. Especially lugging all of the usual beach stuff.

Family vacation
Perfect vacation property for us this year. This was our 19th year on Anastasia Island for our annual family vacation and our first time to bring along a furry friend. The house was perfect for us and was well equipped with everything we needed. The privacy fenced yard was a great for keeping our puppy safe and allowed privacy at the pool. Loved the wagon that was provided to haul the chairs and cooler for the 10 minute walk to the beach- or 5 minutes if your dodging a storm on your way back. Nice neighborhood with easy beach access. We never felt the need to drive. Kitchen was well equipped and we throughly enjoyed the outdoor dining space with gas grill. Indoor dining table was prefect for evening games. Beds and furniture were comfy with plenty of seating for our family of 5. Loved having the pool for lounging around! Over all- exceeded our expectations and was just what we needed!
