Property was clean and well maintained. Nice little dog park. Nice clean pool. Better-than-usual breakfast. Chair in room a little rundown, but furniture otherwise fine. Our main issue was that the location was 20 minutes from St. Augustine and 30 minutes from certain beaches. But it was a good place to stay and good value for the price.
