Jul 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great home away from home! A perfect stay all around! Clean with all the amenities you'll need to feel right at home for your stay. Communicated with host ahead of time as we were traveling with a small U-Haul trailer and they let us know that we could park it right across the street at the Walmart (confirmed with the manager there just in case!). I was a tad nervous about this but the Walmart had security driving around and it was less than a minute walk with the side gate exit by the condo. The walking trails around the neighborhood as well as the pool were a great way to stretch our legs after/before our 14 hour trek. Thank you so much for a being an awesome host to our first trip to Florida! ##### Jane J. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rowyn O. Nov 9, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The apartment is so beautiful! It was very clean and has everything you need. It is very close to St. Johns Town Center for fun shopping and right across from a Walmart which is very nice. Lots of room in the apartment and quiet at night. I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend. The host is very nice and responsive and helps with any questions you have. I loved the stay! ##### Rowyn O.
