Great Spring Break

My wife and I took our daughter and her friend for a week stay for Spring Break. Check in process and communication was easy and smooth. Location was excellent with easy beach access and pool access. Unit is on second floor corner facing the ocean for amazing sunrises. Plenty of restaurants and activities within walking distance. Only issue was roof construction that started mid way through stay that we or the rental company were aware of. Activity with scaffolding happened during the day .

Worth the money!!

The entire experience was nearly perfect. The condo is a 2nd floor end unit that was quiet throughout the stay. Renters were above us for part of our stay and we had no problem with noise. Access to the beach was quick and easy. There were only 4-5 occupied units during our stay which may have contributed to the serenity but we sort of plan it that way by traveling slightly off-season. The weather was particularly windy and one evening it blew a downspout off kilter that clanked against the outside wall all night costing one night of unrest but the issue was quickly resolve with one phone call the next day. I highly recommend this rental.

Wonderful view

The condo was clean and the patio is large and beautiful views. Only recommendations would be to provide more comfortable seating on the patio and new pillows in the 2nd bedroom. Communication was good and nice small condo community. The beach in front is peaceful and no cars permitted on this end. Close to walk to restaurants and coffee bar. Would stay here again..

Ocean's Joy - Perfection!!

My husband and I stayed at Oceans Joy for 4 nights in June. The location of the unit was perfect for us. It's ocean front on the 2nd level. The pool is also right across the parking lot and historic downtown St. Augustine is just a 10 to 15 minute drive. The unit provides all kitchen necessities, beach chairs, an umbrella and beach towels. Communication with the great. When we got home, I realized that I forgot some clothing in the dresser. I texted the rental company and they responded immediately. They checked the unit the next morning, found my clothes, and shipped them that day. I Gifford recommend Oceans Joy!
