True Blue Love
Our family and friends stayed at True Blue for five weeks and could not have been happier with the property. The ability to walk to the beach with our chair and a beach bag was such a plus. Sitting on the patio with the intercoastal waterway to view was such a bonus! We loved walking the neighborhoods in the evening. The city of Saint Augustine was a short drive. Just love this propeety and the location.

Great property and location
Very nice property with a fenced in yard in a quiet neighborhood. Easy walking distance to beach and inlet. The house is a open floor plan with a nice master bedroom with bath, 3 other nice sized bedrooms, another bath, well sticked kitchen and dining space. The house is nicely decorated. We enjoyed our time here and the owner was wonderful through all stages of our reservation and stay. Several local restaurants and amenities very close. We had planned to spend more time in St Augustine but the holiday traffic was too much for our liking. We had plenty to do right around Vilano and Anastasia to fill the week. Thank you!

Excellent location
We had a great stay at this property. The best thing for us was definitely the location. Walking distance to the beach and a short drive to shops, restaurants and Downtown St. Augustine.

It was all great, home accommodating. We had a parking issue. Site says 3 spaces but even 3 of the smallest cars would not fit. I would suggest 2 spaces and provide off site parking info.

Great place for a beach vacation!
The house could not be better! Has everything you could want and is in an awesome location. We used the seranata beach club, and it was worth every penny! It is exactly 1.5 miles away and makes it impossible to not enjoy the day even if you were not a beach fan. Tamara,the manager of the property, was extremely helpful. We are very likely to come back again!

Great Location and great accommodations
This was the perfect property for our 6 adults for the week of Christmas. It was clean and neat and had everything you would need for a weeks long stay. Unfortunately, we were in Florida when the cold snap happened that froze out the entire country. Otherwise we would've loved spending time in the yard. WE did buy the week at Serenata Beach Club and this was a fun place for trivia night.

Great Place
We were evacuating from a hurricane and couldn't be happier with the property. It was perfect for our family plus fur babies. The owners and agent couldn't have been more accommodating, kind and generous. Its a great neighborhood, great location and the property was fantastic. Everything you need for a few day stay is provided for you, paper towels, garbage bags, soap, shampoo/conditioner, dishwasher soap. Thank you for your kindness and we will be back for an official vacation.

Beautiful home in a great location
We had a great time staying at True Blue. The home was beautiful as advertised and very clean. It is a few block walk to the beach. We opted to use the beach club which was an amazing. We spent most of our time there. It was our first time to the St. Augustine area and we would love to go back. We would stay in this home again and recommend it!

Amazing place to stay for St Augustine visit!
True Blue was a perfect setting for a group of four life long girlfriends to gather. Everything was spotless; beds oh so comfy with top notch linens and towels. Could walk to the beach for a stroll or just down the street to the water for beautiful views. Short drive into St Augustine to explore that amazing city. Helpful list of local attractions as well as restaurant recommendations was so appreciated. Must return to hit the spots we missed!

Nice, Comfortable Home Close to Everything!
We liked how comfortable the house was & the neighborhood is quiet. It was close to the historic area which is where we wanted to be, but it was a nice quiet place to retreat after a long day of sightseeing and touring. It had a Publix down the road. Super Convenient! Close to some nice restaurants too. The house was clean & had pretty much everything you need.

Winter Break Get Away....
Corner Unit, Cozy home, design took advantage of the square footage. LOVED the kitchen and living area. Cozy, nice decor. Fully stocked....non-stick cookware would be a PLUS! You have a beautiful home and we would certainly come again when we comeback to St. A. area. Kids loved the smart TV's with ROKU. Could use light blocking curtains. Other than that, I would recommend. Bay around the corner, beach a few blocks down.....downtown area 4 miles away ,publix and pizza place 2 miles away. Perfect!

Charming holiday vacation
Everything about our stay at True Blue is best described as “charming.” This cute home on the corner of two quiet streets was lovely, well-appointed and in a great location with easy access to the waterway, the ocean, Publix and historic St. Augustine. The management team answered all our questions before we arrived and made check-in easy. The kitchen was well equipped and the appliances — state of the art. It was very clean, comfortable and cute, with big “thirsty” towels for home and beach. Having access to the beach club with a heated pool was also nice - given the time of year (Dec. 25th). The club facilities are a little dated (I.e., only one shower stall in the men’s locker room) but everyone was very nice and welcoming.

We’re obsessed with True Blue!
What an amazing place! It was spotless on our arrival! The set up was wonderful - fenced in yard - big kitchen. We had 2 families sharing and it was a great place to give us all room. Fenced in yard allowed the kids to run. A short jump to the beach and a view of the inter coastal. I can’t say enough about the bedding and towels - in fact - I’m planning on going and getting some of those when I get home because they were so luxurious! The grill outside was great and a nice big table and chairs for meals. 4 TVs so we all had our own time to watch what we wanted. The WiFi was fast. We will definitely be back! We also rented beach bikes for the week from Drifters and would definitely recommend doing that! Communication from True Blue was so amazing and they were ready to answer any questions. The water went out one day (in the whole subdivision) and they were ready to bring us water and do what they could to help. Such a great experience! You have to get obsessed with True Blue too!:)
