Dakotas place was perfect for our group of gals for a get away weekend! The space worked well for all of us - with plenty of room to sleep and gather. it was nice to end our days with quiet and peacefulness after a busy day fighting other tourists like us downtown .

Dakota is a very nice person and always quick to respond. He let me know about the issues in the upstairs bathroom and offered to fix it. Very respectful and responsible host

We very much enjoyed our stay in this nice, spacious home. The location was quiet and peaceful but a very short drive to the beach and easy drive to St. Augustine and restaurants. We had a small issue with the keypad upon arrival but thanks to a very proactive cleaning lady, we were able to gain access and she replaced the dying battery that caused the problem. Dakota was super responsive and I appreciate how helpful and friendly he was in every communication. We loved the nice deck and backyard, took advantage of the beach toys and cornhole boards, and appreciated that the basics like soap, toilet tissue, coffee, even sunscreen were provided. Dakota goes above and beyond to make your stay feel like your own home away from home.

We had the perfect stay at Dakotas home. We couldn’t have had a better place or better host. I hope we can stay here again the next time we are in St Augustine. Thank you so much for having us.

Dakota makes things clear, answers all questions right away, has a well-oiled machine. We had busy days in town and laid-back evenings at the house. Just what we were looking for. Recommended without reserve!

It was very clean inside and nicely laid out. The open concept and immediate access to the deck were welcoming. It was quiet. Finding it in the dark was hard because there was no sign that said “A Wave Away” with an arrow pointing down the side driveway. So, we needlessly idled next to the front driveway, no doubt annoying those neighbors. However, the host was extremely responsive when we texted them. As the week went on, little things started to be big things, and we felt the value for money lowering. Lack of bathroom towel racks, nights lights too bright, lights burned out in the kitchen, hood vents not working, upstairs faucet tap not working, not being able to find cords to kitchen appliances, noisy AC upstairs, not being able to figure out the microwave settings, cookie sheets that didn’t fit the oven, the laundry right next to the kitchen table, laundry mishaps, no extra blankets, or not enough seats for us all to watch movies together in a room. Needs a new property manager.

Response from the owner

Hi Shannon, Thank you for your detailed feedback. I’m glad you found the space clean, quiet, and welcoming. I also appreciate your kind words about my responsiveness. I sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered. The towels and extra items, such as blankets, are in the upstairs closet across from the bathroom. The faucet, hood vent, and other maintenance concerns have already been addressed. Your feedback is valuable. Thank you for bringing these details to my attention, and I hope you’ll consider staying with us again. Best regards, Dakota

We had an absolutely wonderful time! Close to so many things to do. House was beautiful and clean. Dakota is such a wonderful person! Was concerned about our fur baby who was not well, even left treats for her! Although we are heartbroken we lost our fur baby, we had a great stay and would definitely recommend ❤️ to everyone!

Stayed here with friends and everything was good! Some wear in a few spots and furniture, but nothing severe or very noticeable. Everything else was just as described. It was definitely well worth the trip, and we would stay again!
