For our kid companions, both were essential! Both ocean access and the providdd pool were great. They were 14 or under so they enjoyed the pool even with air temps close to 59... (hearty souls...). But that said-- even in my own visits, I noted no water or facility concerns. All seemed exceptionally well cared for. But all that aside, our unit was in great condition. We had a 3 bedroom, 2 bath... kitchen and all else was reasonably outfitted. We cooked many of our dinners here and had all we needed. Similar for breakfast. We also loved we were just a couple miles from all things St. Augustine tourist-wise. We drove up several days. It was literally a few minutes drive, and there is ample parking at the city garage should you not find other options. We enjoyed several days of walking adventures from there. This is a great home-base property for relaxing or adventuring!

What makes this place unique is the beautiful tropical gardens. The down side is that it does not have a heated pool. All through the winter months ,the pool is unusable except for the most hardy. Also, if you have any trouble with mobility you will have great difficulty getting to the beach because there is a huge sand dune that you must climb over to get to the beach. There are two tennis courts and a hot tub. Many other resorts have more amenities. We give SeaWinds 5 stars for its excellent location, close to restaurants and shopping, beautiful gardens, ponds and wildlife, convenience of condos with garages and driveways. The pros far outweigh the cons.

THE OCEAN GALLERY REVIEW: 310 PREMIER VISTA WAY…read more In planning for our one week yearly summer beach getaway to St. Augustine, we came across a lovely beach condo at the Ocean Gallery. It was the most expensive rental place for us so far (over $3000), but it had a beautiful view of the beach and looked very nice in the pictures. What we found upon arriving was the exact opposite of what was in the ad. All of the things wrong should have been caught if the complex was managed well and they checked each unit BEFORE it was rented to the next guest! Let me list the many things that we found: The bathroom sink in the second bath barely drained. Th toilet in the second bathroom was loose and the maintenance people said they needed to replace it, so to be very careful in using it. The toilet in the first bathroom ran all the time. The screen porch screen was off its track. The closet door was also off track. The door to the patio was broken and could not be locked. Broken baseboard pulled away from the wall in the main bedroom. Old, stained, and torn furniture on the patio. (I have a great picture). Along with all of these problems, the kitchen and the glass patio doors were SO FILTHY that we had to go out and buy cleaning supplies to wash the doors and cabinets in the kitchen before we would consider putting our food in the cabinets or enjoying the patio. Because it was LABOR DAY WEEKEND, we were not able to talk to the management the day that we arrived. So we enjoyed St Augustine as best we could, but a few days before we left, we spoke to Anne, the manager of the Ocean Gallery. We were very unsatisfied with her response...that is the main reason I wanted to let other renters know that this company is ONLY interested in getting your money but not in keeping you happy! It should be the responsibility of the rental company to check our each unit BEFORE it is rented! The renter should not have to bring such a long list to the management while they are trying to enjoy their one-week beach vacation! This is NOT THE TRUE GEM that I always look for and I would say RENTERS BEWARE OF THE OCEAN GALLERY!! It is NOT MANAGED WELL!!!

Kudos to Kimberly, the Owner/Manager of the House of Sea & Sun!!! Out of four places that I emailed…read morelast Friday to inquire about prices for an overnight or two night stay. Ernie had his Cancer surgery in his face a year ago and his birthday month as well. So, Kimberly was the one and only one to respond almost immediately. I told her my needs, wants and concerns. She worked with me effortlessly. Poof! We made the date and off we headed to her BNB. Ernie was surprised and happy. That was my goal. I'd like to share a little history of this beautiful home: This magnificent oceanfront home was built in 1914 by Louise Wise Lewis Frances, the niece, and heir to the Henry Flagler fortune. When this house was built it was a social gathering place and still is to this day. From the pinewood floors to the beautiful antique hand-carved mantel around the fireplace, this house retains the elegance of a bygone era. The warmth and hospitality of Kimberly the Innkeeper is beyond compare. You'll feel welcome the moment you arrive and you'll be making plans to return before you leave. Kimberly cooked a wonderful breakfast for us two days in a row. She seemed to really be happy and good with what she does. Thank you again Kimberly. Ernie and I will see you again. Pros: There are three levels of rooms to choose from. Everything was comfy and clean. Great breakfast. Right on the beach. Restaurants in walking distance. Friendly Innkeeper(Kimberly). Cons: Parking can be tight, but doable. Stairs are hard to climb. We got used to them after a few times. Check her place out soon! PS: I forgot to leave the key to our room. I discovered it when I got home. Kimberly was so understanding about the mishap. I mailed the key the very next day. It all worked out ok.

We were steps from the beach which was perfect for us. We were a short drive across the Bridge of Lions to get to St. Augustine and St. George St. We were also not far from Vilano Beach. Everything was convenient for us. Our bed was comfortable in the Safari room. It was the pet friendly room so we had our own patio and it lead to the back yard. The bathroom to us seemed like it was bigger than the bedroom though, but it makes sense, they put a wall in the room to separate the bedroom and the bathroom. It made the bed kind of narrow when walking to get to the bathroom. From reading up on the history of the House of Sea and Sun, we found that our room was said to be haunted, and people would wake up to hear dancing and music. This is where they would dance back in the day. This house was built for one of Henry Flagler's family members. They said it was completed around 1914. There are 6 bedrooms in this home. It was nice to get to see all of them before I left. You can tell they nicely kept the old character of this home. Our breakfast was alright the first day, and got better the next day. They had pancakes, eggs, and ham, danishes, orange juice, and coffee to name a few. They also have an afternoon snack of crackers and cheese, and fruit as well as wine if you let them know in advance. It was definitely a relaxing nice stay. Since they are dog friendly, they also have 3 resident pomeranians. It definitely makes for an even more fun stay since our shihtzu Mocha Coconut can play with them once he is got use to them.

The home itself is beautiful and worked well for our wedding weekend, allowing us to spend meaningful time with family and friends who traveled to celebrate with us. Leading up to the event, communication was professional and helpful. The issue arose immediately after checkout. Less than an hour after checking out (on the morning following our wedding, while my husband and I were beginning our honeymoon) I received multiple back-to-back emails regarding post-stay issues. Receiving these communications at that time caused significant and unnecessary stress during what should have been a joyful and once-in-a-lifetime moment. While I understand that property standards and rules must be enforced, the timing, volume, and tone of the messages made the situation far more stressful than it needed to be. In my view, these matters could have been addressed in a more measured and considerate way, especially given the context of a wedding weekend. For a property that is marketed and promoted as a wedding and event venue, it would be beneficial for management to be more mindful of how and when post-checkout issues are communicated to clients. A more thoughtful approach immediately following checkout (particularly for wedding stays)could prevent unnecessary distress and preserve what is otherwise a positive guest experience. The property itself was lovely and our wedding was beautiful. Unfortunately, the way the post-checkout communication was handled overshadowed what had been an otherwise positive experience.
