Amazing Views
This house is amazing!!! We all enjoyed the beautiful views of the ocean and dolphins! Very spacious and everything you need. The pool and hot tub a big hit. We had 9 people where there was plenty of room in the pool area and house. So nice to all sit together at dinner and play games! You can walk to the beach or just a short 2 minute drive to a parking lot. The beach very beautiful. No rocks, very sandy and beautiful water. Just a 30-minute drive to downtown St. Augustine. So many great restaurants and bars! Definitely go to the Tipsy Duck and Harry's. Lots of fun for the entire family. Would definitely come back again!!

Our large family enjoyed every moment! The pool and hot tub were the kiddos favorite part while the adults gathered in the kitchen and around the tv. The teens were obsessed with the game room. There was something for everyone. I would definitely want to stay there again. It was beautiful inside and the views were breathtaking.

This property was amazing. There are plenty of rooms to spread out and the private pool and hot tub were great. But the views are the best. You can see the ocean from almost every room and the beach is only a 2 min walk down the road. Will definitely stay again.

Wavewatch is perfect for those who want away from crouds. Nicest stay our family ever had. Very upper class feel house with best of everything. Not good for handicap due to lots of stairs. Road in front very low traffic and a short 30 yard walk to almost private beach. Pool was used by all ages and very much injoyed. Roof top views were amazing. Again most supplied house we ever visited. Hope to go back soon

Beautiful house & location
Beautiful house and location but it was not equipped with enough towels or toiletries for our party. Home could have been cleaner and needs a bit of TLC. There were dirty dishes and opened grocery items left behind. There was no gas for grill and it was a bit difficult finding propane on a Sunday but we were promptly reimbursed after our stay for purchasing a propane tank on our own. Overall we had a great time and the views made up for the few issues we experienced.

Beautiful location, some maintenance issues
The property was beautiful, about a 20 minute drive from grocery stores and most restaurants. However, this gave it a very exclusive feeling. Hardly anyone on the beach during the day, except for surfers. As soon as part of our group arrived, they had to call maintenance due to the level with all of the bedrooms being 77 degrees and the A/C not working properly. The keypad also was not working with the code that was provided. The maintenance guy did come to fix the A/C and programmed the keypad. He let us know that we should call if we had any additional problems. The rest of us arrived shortly after and noticed that the hot tub was not working properly. We all read the instructions and deduced that there was likely something wrong with the controller. So I called the next day regarding this issue. I spoke to a woman in the office who was very professional and courteous. However, she was asking the maintenance man questions in the background. He sounded very irritated and annoyed with us calling stating that he had "already checked it" and it worked. The maintenance man came by later in that afternoon and found that it was not working, and said the pool guy had locked it and he had to get a hold of him. We waited 2 days with no updates so called again. They notified me that they were waiting on him to return the call. He finally came by 4 days later and temporarily fixed it and didn't update anyone. It worked for one evening before we had issues again. I decided not to call back given the response from the maintenance man and the fact that we were leaving the following day. Our full party was looking forward to utilizing the hot tub, so it was disappointing that we could not. Overall, the property was beautiful, a little far from town, and there were some maintenance issues.

Somewhat disappointed
The property is very nice and spacious. The area and the view were beautiful. I am 67 years old with a back issue so all of the steps were a challenge. The pool was the best...we used it every day almost all day long as the weather was very hot and humid. Very buggy at night though. Although the listing doesn't say that there are pool toys...there were many in the garage. Kitchen is well equipped except for pots. There was only one small and a large but nothing in between, especially if you were cooking numerous items. The disappointing things were that when we went to cookout on the 2nd day there was no propane for the gas grill. We had to call VRBO and wait for someone to deliver on a Sunday. That same day we went to use the oven in the kitchen and it would not heat up. We were told that the maintenance tech said to try a "trick" to get it to work. Seriously!!! A trick to make the oven work. Well the trick did not work. Then I was told that someone would come Monday or Tuesday to look at it. No one came so I called back and someone finally came on Thursday I believe. We were told they were replacing the stove but the technician said I don't carry stoves on my truck and he was going to try to fix it and he did. At that point we had one full day left of our vacation. When we first arrived all of the trash from the former tenants was in the basement, smelling and covered with maggots. I called VRBO about that because the neigh/bor said that someone was supposed to take the trash every Saturday. The excuse was that the trash company went to the wrong address. We ended up taking out all of the trash which really upset me because my son-in-law had a bad shoulder and was facing surgery and he took out most of that trash to the road. And last but not least 6 chairs were broken and not useable. We were told by the VRBO person, who came with the oven tech and took pictures of them, that the next day someone would come and take away the broken chairs but no one came. The front porch was infested with bugs when we arrived so we had to get bug spray and hose it down to sit out there but of course that is where 3 out of 6 chairs were broken. So that was our stay in a nutshell.

Lovely house but do not book anything managed by VTrips
After booking through VRBO, I received a 14 page contract from VTrips requiring 13 signatures and 3 initials or our trip would be cancelled with no refund. This included language stating vacuuming was required (after paying a hefty cleaning fee) and that we could be kicked out for "profane language". The oven did not work during our stay, which we were informed about a few hours before check in - after we already planned and bought the group's ingredients to eat baked chicken and brownies. We did not receive any money back offered for the inconvenience. The last hours that we were there, we had an unannounced guest blocking our driveway unloading & loading lawn chairs which felt invasive (the back door blinds do not close) and made it hard to pack up. I really hope the home owners will use another rental management company that is up-to-date on the times, as the home is very lovely and in a great location.

60th Birthday Family Vacation
Awesome views all around of the ocean!! This house had wonderful gathering areas for our family of ten. Decor was elegant , and the beds very comfortable. Pool with spa was wonderful during the day in addition to time spent at the beach which was just a short walk. down the street. We cooked most of our meals at the house. Only drawback was that the ice maker on the fridge was broken, and we bought bags of ice all week . Also, the smoke alarm was very sensitive each time you cooked . Definitely not deal breakers as we would stay here again in a heartbeat. Wave Watch was spectacular!

Spring Break
The property is beautiful and pictures do not do it justice. The neighborhood is very private and has very little traffic. The beach across the street is a popular location for local surfers and paddle boarders, but it never felt crowded. The private pool and the hot tub was perfect for the kids; that's where they spent a lot of their time. Words and pictures cannot fully describe how fabulous the roof deck is. Since it is the tallest building in that area, you have a 360 degree unobstructed view. We were able to watch the sunrise over the Atlantic and the sunset over the sound every single day which were both breathtaking. Even the views at night is amazing. The area is dark enough where you can stargaze on the roof at night; the stars were so bright and we enjoyed teaching the kids how to find constellations. Town was not a far drive; everything was very convenient. I know previous renters have commented on the lack of towels- although there was not an overabundance of towels, I felt there was enough to comfortably accommodate my 11 person group; we did have to do laundry a few times, but this was no big deal for us. The kitchen is fully stocked and there are box fans galore to those who require white noise to sleep. A few things to mention for future renters: (1) the smoke detector is VERY sensitive and goes off every time we turned on the stove and the ceilings are so high that nobody could shut it off, so you have to let it run it's course and turn off by itself. We were able to remedy this by opening both kitchen windows and put a fan in one of the big windows closest to the kitchen. (2) the pillows are extremely soft. If you are someone who prefers a firmer pillow for neck support, I recommend bringing your own. (3) there are so many light switches all over the house and I honestly could not tell you which ones went to what. Having a cheat sheet would have been nice, but this is not a deal breaker by no means. (4) the hot tub and heated pool are nice when they are working, but the temperature regulation was difficult. It could have been user error, but the customer service rep and the pool guy were very responsive and helpful. (5) not sure how in depth the cleaning protocol is for the housekeepers. I found myself having to clean out the shower drain in the master bathroom on the first day since it was not draining at all. The amount of hair I pulled out was gag worthy. Overall, we had a great time and definitely would come back.

This house was magnificent and the 9 of us had a spectacular time! The house is so spacious and the views from the rooftop deck were stunning. The appliances and furniture were top of the line and the beds were comfortable. Absolutely loved the private pool! Very good water pressure and a strong wifi connection. Could not ask for anything more (other than the fire alarms being extra sensitive when using a blow dryer or cooking on the stove top, but that was minor stuff). The beach is nice and quiet yet the location is convenient. This property is simply a gem! We plan on going back next year.

Perfect Way to kick off Christmas Week!
We had high expectations after viewing the beautiful pictures on the website, but your home far exceeded them. Checking in and out was a breeze, and there wasn’t one thing we needed that you did not have. The panoramic views are breathtaking. We are a family of 8, 6 of which are our 4 sons and 2 girlfriends. We took turns cooking each night, and there was plenty of room in the kitchen area for all of us to enjoy drinks and chat while the cooks prepared the meal. A family favorite was the shuffleboard table! We had so much fun with that. We were able to take walks on the beach and even saw the Christmas Star from the pool deck. Thank you for sharing you beautiful home by the sea with us. Merry Christmas! The Smiths 12/23/20

This house was beautiful! We really enjoyed the balcony and the rooftop! The pool was used multiple times a day by the kids and grownups. We had an issue with the faucet on the kitchen sink not working properly, and there was someone at the house within an hour to fix it. The only major issue that we had with the house was ants in the kitchen. That is definitely an issue that needs to be addressed, but overall we loved our time at this house!

2019 Family Vacation
Our family loved this home. We have been doing family vacations for 20 years mostly in St. John's but the last 2 have been in Florida. The images of the house are very accurate to what you see when arriving. The house has that "WOW" value to it. The location of the house was perfect, it was in a very quite and secluded area, with beautiful beaches, but no more then 20 minutes from Old Historical St. Augustine. The one thing my whole family was impressed with was how comfortable all the beds were in this house. The master bedroom is huge and the views were absolutely magnificent. Sunrises were beautiful especially from the rooftop deck. If you do family vacations and you have a group of at least 8 people or more I would highly recommend this home. It is very spacious and comfortable. Now while I do highly recommend this home to anyone doing a family vacation I do have 2 critics of this home, that I do have. For a beautiful home on the beach and the price that goes along with it the owner should have beach chairs, beach umbrellas & beach towels. This home does not, and you have to rent these from a local business nearby. The pool & pool deck, which was amazing, needs to have table umbrellas to provide some shade. Otherwise it can get quite uncomfortable hanging by the pool, especially after a long day on the beach. With that being said, the two critical comments are not game changers and I would highly recommend this home for anyone doing a family vacation. Tony

This house is everything they say it is
The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of room. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is nicely stocked to prepare meals. The game room is nice for those rainy Florida afternoons. Kudos to the housekeeping staff, the house was VERY clean. The roof top deck was amazing. With the roof painted white in the middle of the day it is blinding but the early mornings and late afternoons it is very relaxing. The sunrises were breath taking. The beach is not crowded, very family friendly. We had the pleasure of meeting the neighbors which were very nice. We have been vacationing in St Augustine for over 30 years and have rented numerous houses. I would highly recommend this home.
