We planned on staying for a month and had such a lovely time we stayed an extra week! Attractively and comfortably furnished, our family of four enjoyed ourselves from start to finish.
The pre-teen raved over the uncommonly comfortable (his exact words) sleeper couch in the living room and loved waking up every morning with the dawn as it broke over the ocean, spilled onto the balcony and ended in the living room.
We ate breakfast/brunch/lunch on the balcony many days to enjoy the ocean view.
We all enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi adjacent to our building - just a few minutes walk from our door to the pool deck. From there it was a short boardwalk to stepping onto Crescent Beach. There were several small landscaped ponds around our building. Every time we looked, we spotted turtles and ducks and frogs and bunnies that congregated along the water.
My husband enjoyed the sand and surf the most - boogie boarding and skim boarding almost every day.
The eighteen year old was most impressed with the fast and reliable WiFi that allowed him to maintain his daily doses of facebook, myspace, twitter, AIM, email and IM. (Sigh - sad to me that he spent more time on his laptop than outside. But he seemed as happy as a clam.)
I walked the beach for hours every night and spent most afternoons by the pool. As the mom, I was also pleased to find a well-equipped kitchen and the full-size washer and dryer.
Both the owner and the on-site management company were pleasant and professional.
Even the inevitable hiccup was well-handled. The AC broke the second week we were there. I made one call. In a little under six hours later, it was returned to perfect working order. If only I could get things fixed that easily at home.
We were pleased and would enthusiastically recommend this place to our friends and family. |

| We were lucky enough to find this condo on VRBO and got a great deal with the owners for 4 nights. Wish now that we could have stayed longer. It is a great condo with plenty of room for the whole family. We loved the balcony and the ocean view. Saw lots of wildlife (tortoises, bunnies, ducks)around the grounds. Would love to come back next year. Great vacation! |

| We recently stayed in this condo for a week and had a wonderful time! The condo was very clean when we arrived and has a very spacious feel to it, unlike some other oceanfront condos at which we've stayed. The view of the ocean from the patio is very nice and the condo is in a prime location on what we think is the best beach in Florida. The Ocean Gallery grounds are like a tropical paradise, with the area around this condo being particularly beautiful with ponds, fountains, and lush vegetation. The owners were very friendly, accommodating, and great to work with. We love the St. Augustine area and have been there a number of times. Of all the condos we've stayed in, this is our favorite. We hope to be back many times in the future! |
