Perfect Location
5/5 stars
This is a cute bungalow. It’s situated on a quiet street so there is absolutely no traffic noise. It is within walking distance to Historic St Augustine for sightseeing if you’re able bodied. If you’re planning on shopping, I would drive and park. It was clean and properly stocked with paper products for our short stay. We would definitely stay here again.

Victoria, we are so glad you had a 5-star stay with us! It was our pleasure to host you, and hope to have you back soon!

Love This House
5/5 stars
This was our second stay at Bleu Daze Cottage during which there was a change in ownership. We absolutely love this home. The neighborhood is walkable and neighbors very friendly. The location is ideal for walking to the historic district with lots of great places to dine or a quick ride to the beach. The new owners have made improvements since our previous visit and any problems we encountered were handled quickly and efficiently. Sure, there are things that need improvement but with the constant use, this is to be expected. My only recommendation would be a better mattress or a box spring since my husband and I both found it too firm. I am confident that little by little changes will be made and this diamond in the rough will truly shine. We hope to return someday soon!
- Karen

Karen, it was a pleasure to host you a second time!! We are so glad you love the house and location. We will certainly speak with the team about the mattress, and see if we can rectify this for future guests. We would love to have you and your husband back!!

Great vacation spot!
5/5 stars
House was perfect for me and my friends to enjoy the city, had everything we needed for a few days, and really enjoyed having the grill out back too. Also was a great location to enjoy the city. It felt like I could have gone everywhere in the city with just a bicycle. We enjoyed the house!

Great Neighborhood and Location
4/5 stars
Lovely extremely quiet neighborhood. We felt very safe here, even at night. Our dog absolutely loved the yard which is on a large corner lot with lots of room on the other side as well to explore. Its great location put us right between historic downtown in one direction and the beaches in the other, so we had no wasted time traveling to get in all of our sightseeing and fun. The furnishings were exactly like the pictures. The main couch was a bit uncomfortable, but the dual-reclining loveseat was great. Structurally, this is a slightly older home so be prepared for a few cracks and things that come naturally with that, but it had everything we needed for our 3-night stay, and overall we were very comfortable and would consider staying here again.

Need of Upgrade
3/5 stars
Adorable cottage, great location. However, this cottage has been neglected and needs in-depth cleaning, painting, new furniture and new beds. The kitchen has bare minimum essentials and needs upgraded.

Jennie, thank you for the review and the suggestions on updates. We are working to update the cottage. We hope you had a great stay!

Great Location Could Use Some TLC
3/5 stars
The one great thing about this house is it’s location it’s a quick walk to the historic district and is in a safe quiet neighborhood. It had a good sized yard to take the dog out and we loved taking morning walks as the neighborhood was very sweet. The house itself could use some TLC when it comes to the electrical work. Many of the light switches in the living room don’t turn on anything and in the garage a lamp is turned on with multiple extension cords to prevent people from tripping.

Lauren, Thank you for your recent stay! We appreciate your feedback and review. We wish you well.

The worst rental ever!!!
1/5 stars
There were so many things wrong with the house it was not as it said online when you apply! No one has been taking care of this house from the closets unuseful and a wall missing in one to the garage where they said to do the laundry. The kitchen oven was the dirtiest ever and not really anything to cook with. the light switches not working in the dinning room and living room. The floor had water stains to a dirty bathroom. the worst beds in history so uncomfortable! I would never allow another human to stay here. The air conditioner had to be adjusted all the time in order to keep the house cool. The patio had no screens and only windows so it was Very hot and could NOT be used. This place should NOT be allowed to be a rental. AND it is WAY OVER PRICED.... THE WORST EVER.

Fun and Sun with Friends and our Son
4/5 stars
We came to St. Augustine to visit friends and especially to see our son. We accomplished both and had a great time doing it. The cottage was in the perfect location for our stay. The main things I ask for in accommodations while traveling is... 1. Is it clean? 2. Are the beds comfortable 3. Is it convenient to what we want to do? The answers to all three are definitely YES! I am giving the Bleu Daze Cottage 4 stars because there were no hot pads in the kitchen, although we were able to make pancakes and eggs for breakfast with the supplied pans. Also, there were only 4 bath towels, we had to wash towels a LOT. The description says there are beach chairs and there were none. But having lived in Florida, we knew to bring ours. (If we had flown, we would not have been able to.) The door to the bathroom sticks and is hard to open. We actually found this hilarious whenever one of us got stuck fumbling with the doorknob for 5 minutes, but a family with small children might not find it so funny. Anyway, I would like to give it a 5 because we had a great time and it was especially clean and when the refrigerator stopped working, the owners had the repairman out immediately to fix it.

Paula, Thank you for the feedback and review of Bleu Daze Cottage. We are glad you had a good visit and wish you the best.

Quibble about listed distance to beach
5/5 stars
The house was nice and fit our needs well, and having a garage to park our bikes in was deluxe, but the listing title says it's 1.6 miles to the beach, which had an effect on our decision to rent here instead of Vilano Beach. We figured a 1.6 mile bike ride to the beach would be fine and it would be nice to be able to also ride into town without having to go over the Vilano bridge. But the nearest beach to here is Anastasia State Park, which is 3.2 miles if taking the rather unpleasant highway, or a little farther if you snake back through the neighborhood. I can't imagine where that 1.6 mile number came from.
- Stan

We are glad to hear you enjoyed the cottage! The house is 1.6 miles to the entrance to the Anastasia State Park which has beach access. The primary beach access though is well within the park - a total of 4.5 miles, and the ride to the pier beach access is 4.1 miles. I apologize for the confusion!

Great Week!
5/5 stars
My husband and I enjoyed our stay here. Everything was clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is nice. We were within walking distance of the sights, and that was great, especially because of limited parking. If you're wanting to do a lot of cooking, the kitchen is a little slim with cooking items. However, It was great for us since all we cooked was easy breakfasts. Overall, I would recommend staying here! I would do it again upon a return. Thanks for a great week!

Wonderful Winter Escape
4/5 stars
We wanted a safe escape from the cold of a New England winter - a place near attractions/restaurants yet far enough away in this Covid era. Blue Daze fit the Bill to a t! The house is homey and comfortable. A brief walk over the Bridge of Lions to the old town was doable even with asthma and arthritis. The neighborhood is peaceful and friendly with many waves hello along our route. Several houses even had fruit trees - a novelty for this New Englander. My minor recommendations for the owners would be a few more pans, a potato masher would be nice, an additional bureau in the master bedroom, front gutter clean or repair, and household supplies equivalent to the stay. It also would have been nice to be informed when lawn or service people were coming which happened twice during our stay. We would definitely recommend staying here.

Great location!

Our original stay was scheduled for May and then Covid hit. David was very accommodating in changing the dates of our stay. The home is described as a cottage and reminds me of a New England Cape. Very quiet neighborhood. Clean and charming and very close to the beach and historic St. Augustine.

This bungalow was perfect for us. Plenty of room and clean with everything we needed. The neighborhood is lovely and very quiet and a great area for walking the dog.

There was a little confusion with the door and the light switches, but everything else was perfect! It was a great place with a perfect location and it was exactly what we needed for our stay. Much better than a hotel and at a much better price. The house was clean and well stocked so we didn’t have to worry about a thing.

Good location, cute place
4/5 stars
Blue Daze is a cute corner property located very close to businesses on the island, and just a couple of blocks walk to all there is to do in downtown. The house is well appointed - a good spot for a small family or couple to use as a base camp to visit St. Augustine.

Our Thanksgiving Vacation in St Augustine
3/5 stars
Overall the house was ok. Very convenient to our family who lives in the neighborhood and also very convenient to downtown. I would however like to make a few remarks so tat you could do better for other guests. 1) The porch while it does lock to the inside of the house, all of the sliding doors do not lock. One actually is off its track. 2) As for the smoke detectors, there are four mounts, one was missing in the breakfast nook, two were beeping, needing new batteries, and one was actual in the hall closet uninstalled for the back bedroom. We purchased new batteries and rehung the three smoke detectors. 3) The bathroom towel rod was bent. The tub faucet is filthy, moldy and a bit wonky. It needs to be replaced. 4) In the master bedroom, the bottom drawer of the chest of drawers, had no bottom ! 5) In the kitchen - evidence of mice ! Poops in drawers. I cleaned out drawers, washed oven mitts, utensils only to find poops the following day. If these concerns/items can be resolved, we would consider renting again. Thanks

Hi Simona- We appreciate your review and feedback. You brought a few significant matters to our attention and they have been addressed for future guests. It was a pleasure to host you and we do hope you consider staying at Bleu Daze again or one of our other properties in the future.
