View on patio and easy beach access made it worth it. The interior needs complete remodel. Decent clean lines, 7/10. Dog area just small fake grass strip.
Living room AC didnât work and had mold present. place is gross and needs completely gutted and rehabbed. The musty smell was so bad we had to buy deodorizer spray and my husband wanted to leave right away. Huge crack in the shower floor, tub floor is sinking, tub is falling apart and gross. Needs completely replaced. Kitchen cabinets falling off the wall and beat up. The couch covers wreak of dirty dog smell. We spent the majority of time away from this place as it was overall a huge waste of money and disgusting place. I am pissed we spent so much money on this. This unit is clearly a rental and the owners do not care what condition itâs in. The pictures are so deceiving. I cannot fathom how this place has decent reviews at all. The only positive is outside the room where you have the beach and a nice pool. I would not stay here again if someone paid me too. Terrible gross place.
I had a wonderful stay with my dog. I needed to relax, and the condo was perfect. It was quiet, steps to the beach, and the restaurants across the street had great food! I never drove my car once i got there. Can't wait to go back.
The grounds and pool kept very clean. We stay at Beacher's Lodge every year. The ocean view and short walk to the beach is amazing! Please note there is steps going onto beach so no ramp for handicap individuals.... We do find it odd since the pool has a lift.
This unit was clean when we arrived and what you would expect in older unit. The furnishings updated, the appliances and bathroom tub / sink older. The area that definitely need addressed is the sofa bed. The mattress was very very thin and you could feel the springs. I would definitely replace this matress! The host did respond promptly to our messages prior to arrival. The check in / out process was great!
property was very average. kitchen cooking supplys junk.coffee pot junk.water leaking under flooring in front of couch also in dinning room. generally run down unit that needs a face lift. slopping on some paint dose not fix anything
The stay overall was wonderful. We had a few suggestions to improve future guests experience. We would have really liked to see more than 4 towels & 2 wash cloths for a 3 person stay for 3 days. Also would have been helpful to have an extra trash bag or two and disinfectant wipes to help us assist in tidying up rental prior to checkout.
We got checked in ok. But there was no internet as advertised. Contacted host and she said there was a problem with the internet. It was advertised, but no internet.
Be aware there is no heat in the unit. The first night was cold and there were no extra blankets. Contacted the host. She asked if we looked everywhere, which we had. No response, no delivery of blankets, so we spent another night cold.
I asked for a partial refund and was told she would have to get with the team. We stayed Feb 5-7. It is now the 17th.
Also, the light fixture above the table was caked with dust.
The property location is amazing! Being able to walk right out of the patio door and watch the sunrise/set was so nice. Overall property grounds are well kept, vending machines didnât work but there is a gas station across the street. The property felt very safe and was quiet. Parking was easy however there was some miscommunication about parking passes and the office wasnât much help. Thankfully I have stayed in VRBOâs before and once I was able to get in the room knew to look for a binder with more details and able to locate one. The door lock was very troublesome and again lack of communication of how to operate. I was given the code and told to pull the door but I have never used one that also had to have the deadbolt rotated and it took forever (& 4 people) to finally access the room. Then at leaving out of the room the door didnât just simply lock, it was another round of trying to figure this lock out and on at least 2 occasions I thought the door was locked when I left and it was actually not. Didnât love that. Cleanliness of the room was good, not great. The kitchen counters were covered in dust, floors appeared to have dog hair on them. (I did not have a dog with me) and there was a lot of dust in the bedroom. The bathtub was another concern. It looked covered in mildew and felt very unstable when in the shower. Updates have been made but you can tell it was a very rushed and cost efficient. Wouldnât be my top choice but I would stay again and price was good.
We enjoyed our stay. The property gave us what we needed. Nothing fancy but quiet and convenient.
Would have like the pool to be open until 9 or 10. But not a deal breaker. Conveniently located to St Augustine and away from the crowds.
Will consider this location again.
Updated unit in an older basic condo building with lovely beach.
Sweet older but newly updated (for the most part). Loved opening the sliding door to the beautiful view. Perfect for two people. Amenities in the unit in good shape. Pool area does not wow but beach is easily accessed. No loud parties, almost private beach area. Did have some communication issues with owner when we had a problem.
Pictures of inside were accurate, fan and air conditioner had a ton of dust, dirt balls, and dirt buIld up. Neighborhood was sort of sketch and my wife and daughter were cautious at night when arriving. Construction crews were right on top of you, so as two women, they were concerned about someone peering into unit.
Our second stay at Beacher's Lodge and we loved it again. Quaint old school condo.. not fancy, but all ya need and more. We will probably be back in late spring or summer. Can't wait!
