We were here on a girls trip. It was easy to find. The house was great. All 3 bedrooms are nice. The beds are very comfortable. The house was clean and had many amenities. We were very comfortable here. The location is good. It’s really close to the beach. Easy to walk to. It’s close to downtown St. Augustine. Would highly recommend this beach house if you’re staying in this area.

Perfect beach getaway!
5/5 stars
The Windswept Beach House was a perfect place for me and my teenage son and his friend to stay comfortably for spring break. The house was clean, and as advertised, only a 5 minute walk from the beach. Everything we wanted to do was within 5-8 miles (restaurants, mini golf, a kayak tour, etc). and we stayed busy! The host was very responsive and accessible. We would definitely stay here again!
- Krista

Krista, thank you for the excellent review. We are so glad that your first visit was perfect! We are glad that you enjoyed the home, amenities, neighborhood, and working with our team! It was a pleasure hosting you and we hope to have you back!

Short but sweet
5/5 stars
Picked the grandkids up from central FL and drove to St. Augustine Beach to Windswept Cottage at Windswept Beach. Quiet neighborhood and Winn Dixie and Publix about 2 miles north. House had everything we needed except breakfast! Rode the bikes, played at nearby playground and enjoyed a game of Monopoly. House equipped with plenty of televisions, books, games. Been remodeled but the tongue-and-groove pine retained for a cottage feel. W/D , beach wagon, towels etc available. Great stay.

Gone with the Windswept, Again!
5/5 stars
Our second time staying at this jewel of a beach house, just one of the prettiest and best supplied properties we have had the pleasure of renting. The management is always incredibly prompt at answering any questions that arise and both this year and last year they came out within 24 hours to replace the propane tank on the outdoor grill when we ran out of gas. There are tons of beach supplies out in the garage, including boogie boards and coolers and chairs and umbrellas and BIKES! Very close to the beach, I don't walk very well anymore, but even I managed to do it one time this year (there is a car drop off available, and my husband or son usually drops me off there). Toughest part is crossing A1A, but it all depends on the time of day. If you have the time to check out the kitchen before you go out shopping, you may find that past renters have left nonperishables like oil, seasonings, flour, paper plates and plastic utensils, aluminum foil or plastic wrap, etc. We do a LOT of cooking rather than dining out, so we still bring a couple of pots and pans with us when we come, but it really is quite well supplied. They do leave you some toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags to start you off with. And both times that we've been there, there is an older refrig in the garage which was great for storing beverages in. There has usually been some laundry supplies also. We actually ended up putting in an offer on a house in Palm Coast this year while we were renting, but if we weren't buying in the area, the Windswept Beach House would always be our first choice for rental!

Perfect Stay

This location and house was perfect, we left a review on vrbo and 5 stars all around. Amenities, necessities are all there, more than expected. In-laws from Ukraine came with us and they loved it. Well maintained and worth the drive to stay at. Thanks for the stay and look forward to visiting this house again.

Very happy with everything so far. Company has been prompt to respond to any questions we had during and after the booking process. Very grateful that we were able to check in as scheduled with our vacation starting shortly after Hurricane Ian moved through the area. The condition of the house matches the pictures, no 'unhappy surprises' so far.

We loved our stay at Windswept Beach House. The house was roomy and spotless. The back yard was a bonus we didn’t expect, with horseshoes, a grill and a fire pit. Very close to the public beach access. Felt like being at home. Would rent here again if we come back to this area.

BEST OF THREE VRBO HOMES
5/5 stars
We stayed at 3 different VRBO on this vacation and this was the best one. It has a real nice location of 3-4 blocks to the beach. Surprisingly you are able to drive on the beach for FREE. The house everything that you need including beach equipment. The furniture is very comfortable as are the beds. The TV actually had channels you could watch including a local news channel. The bathrooms could use a little more countertop space. We would definitely rent here again.

Great Location, Met Our Expectations!
5/5 stars
We normally stay with family in St. Augustine, but this trip we needed to find a separate place to stay since we were here for a family reunion. The Windswept home was situated perfectly, just a bit south of where our family was staying. Easy walk to the beach, which I appreciated for morning runs to watch the sunrise. The house was equipped with everything we needed, including beach towels. The backyard was an unexpected bonus, and we enjoyed sitting out there enjoying the mild October evenings. You can tell that the house was thoughtfully remodeled to be a comfortable “home away from home” for visitors. The only issue we’ve had is with the dishwasher not getting dishes clean, which I have let the owner know about so it will hopefully be back in working order soon. I would definitely stay here again!

Perfect for small family.

Loved our stay. The beach is about a 5 min walk or if you have 4x4 and the beach is in good condition that day, you can pay $10 and drive on the beach. Lots of little extras that make the place feel welcoming like beach chairs, sand toys, spare coolers, etc... Would definitely stay here again.
