View A Wave Away →“A Wave Away was a good stay for us, and we stayed in many AirBnB’s. The place was clean, quiet, and just as described. Dakota was helpful in his messages, and very respectful of our privacy. There were definitely plenty of beds, and my teens LOVED the upstairs bedroom with the couch and tv, especially since it rained so much while we were in town. Overall, a great stay, and I recommend.”

“My group thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Dakota was very communicative and prompt in responding clearly. Crescent beach was beautiful, and there was plentiful free beachside parking next to the clean and peaceful fine sand beach strip! Walking through downtown St. Augustine was also well worth the visit. Highly recommend booking here, it was a very comfortable stay in the perfect location, especially with a group of 9!”

“The home was very clean, accurate to the photos, and close proximity to downtown making it easy to travel to tourist destinations and attractions. The food and restaurants around the home were excellent and there were flexible dining options. I believe the price was very reasonable and worth it for what we received. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in visiting St. Augustine.”

“Dakota’s place was just what we needed! It was super close to the Moses Creek Conservation area for early morning walks with the puppy, and just a few minutes further to Crescent Beach for the family! Dakota always responded to any questions immediately, and was very kind and welcoming! The house is a lot a bigger than the pictures show, and it was perfect for our visit! Would definitely stay here again since it has everything a family or group could need for a trip near St.Augustine!”

“The house was really cozy, it filled me with a lot of harmony, I had a pleasant time with my family, and in the back area, you truly feel like having a good coffee, and it’s worth it all.” “The rooms are super comfortable and very spacious, and honestly, you don’t hear any noise at all. It’s the perfect place to relax.””

“This Airbnb was the perfect choice for our work trip. The location was extremely convenient, just a short distance from the job site, which saved us a lot of commuting time. The place itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a productive stay. The host was responsive and made check-in/out easy. Would definitely stay here again for future work trips!”

“The place was nice and roomy. The backyard was a little messy with trees cut down so we didn’t use the patio at all. The place looked nicer in the pictures and we were under the assumption that we would have garage access but we did not (might of missed that part in listing). The AC upstairs struggled to work at times but when it did work it was nice and cool. The place felt a little dirty because we did find trash in the closet from the past people who stayed. Overall, everyone had fun and enjoyed the stay. Very close to the beach and other fun attractions/restaurants. Dakota was very helpful when we had questions and responded quickly.”
Response from the owner
I’m really glad your group had fun and enjoyed the stay. That always means the most to me. Cleanliness is a top priority, and I’ve addressed the overlooked closet item with my team. The backyard is currently undergoing a transformation to enhance the Airbnb experience for my guests, which is why it may have felt unfinished. Florida’s recent heat wave did impact the AC slightly, but I’m glad it cooled off once running. The garage is owner and cleaner access only, as listed. Thanks again for staying and for the thoughtful feedback to help improve as a host 😊.

“We truly enjoyed this stay. The location was great, very peaceful and private yet close enough to downtown and all the main attractions. After a long day downtown and crazy crowds it felt great getting back to this peaceful house. The layout and design of the house was so great for us, especially since we were a multiple family group! Each family had there own room and space with their kids. Kitchen had everything we needed and the house was very clean. Back porch was nice and cozy. Waking up and sitting out there with coffee and just enjoying nature, almost makes you feel you are not in Florida. Dakota was very helpful and so kind, such a great Host. He was super responsive and accommodating. Thank you Dakota for having such a family friendly house and giving us such a warm and welcoming stay! Look forward to staying here again!!”

“Dakota is a great host! He was so accommodating when we ran into an issue with our hall rental & made my son’s graduation day so very memorable at his beautiful home. We saw a bunch of deer running thru the woods that was a beautiful site to see & home is a few minutes from crescent beach, few miles from Us1 & 15 min from RT 96 We had a great time & highly recommend his home❤️ Thank you Dakota!”

“I have only stayed at two airbnbs. This was the second one. This space was large enough for my whole family. The design of the space was excellent it enhanced the Florida sun. To me, the decor was minimalistic. That meant you could spread out your things and still have room. The neighborhood is quiet so you feel like your space is a private retreat”
Response from the owner
I want all of my guests have their own private space and enjoy quality time together and enjoy the beautiful backyard to appreciate nature 😊

“We were more than comfortable at this AirBnB. Dakota was more than helpful and accommodating when it came to any request we may have had. This a great place to bring the family and a great retreat from the City. Very close to Crescent beach and just a small car ride away from the beautiful Historic Down Town St. Augustine. Do not miss your chance with this hidden gem. Thank you Dakota hope to see you guys again soon!”
Response from the owner
