Hemingway Dream - A Dream Come True

We fell in love with the house & location the minute we arrived. Karen was the perfect property host beginning with a charcuterie box in the fridge on our arrival. The house perfectly fit our need for space with 10 guests (adults j children). We will definitely plan to return!

Family Retreat before Surgery

The house and location were excellent for our stay during my wife's surgery at Mayo. It is as its described and had plenty of room for our family who wanted to be present for my wife's surgery but were going to be unable to visit the hospital due to Covid -19. While the location is about 30 minutes to Mayo, it is a pleasant ride and the fact that we got to return directly onto the ocean after visits to Mayo was rejuvenating. The kitchen was well supplied and we were able to make meals for everyone during the stay. I would recommend this property.

Great location-hot house

The good: location, beach front views, plenty of outdoor chairs, kitchen was well equipped. The bad: AC units do not cool. The top floor stays around 81 degrees at coolest at night. When entering the house at front door the front entry is actually a bedroom that again never cools down. The bottom floor smells like mildew which is apparent from the dehumidifier that we kept dumping. The entire house needs a deep cleaning there are dust bunnies on woodwork, lighting fixtures and under furniture and beds. The house could use a paint job interior and exterior. I do not recommend this house.

January stay

Wonderful location and home for family time at the beach. Tons of shells on the beach for the kids to sort through. This home has all the needed kitchen utensils and cleaning supplies. It even has more matching plates, dishes, and cups then our family of 11 needed. We were not expecting that the house was split into 2 units that required us to walk around outside but the weather was beautiful so that was not an issue. Only concerns were the dishwasher was moldy, the light switch is wired incorrectly for the stairs, and the AC stopped working just before we left.

Wonderful house and location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The setup of the house is great for a large group. The bedrooms are roomy and the beds very comfortable. Even the Murphy bed is comfortable. The location is amazing. You have direct access to the beach and the views from the top and bottom porches is breathtaking. It’s located relatively close to St Augustine and you have a Publix within 10 minutes of the house.The host provides plenty of towels, both bath and beach towels. They also provide starter amenities such as a 1 time use shampoo and conditioner, so make sure to bring your own stuff, including bath soap/grl.All appliances were in great working order and there are enough dishes, cups, glasses and utensils to feed an army.The upper house can run a bit on the warm side. The weather was warm when we arrived (not FL hot), and the house didn’t really feel cold. The bottom floor apt was comfortable. It is a completely separate living unit with only outside access to the main house. The host is very responsive to question, responding quickly. We encountered no issues during our stay. The one thing I would recommend is providing lifting for the ground level back porch and above the front door to the lower level area. Although the outside of the house and stairs are well lite, these two areas have no lighting.

Great spring break trip

The weather was perfect all week during this spring break trip with family. The beach was beautiful with very few people actually on the beach. The kitchen was well-equipped with dishes, glasses, and cookware. It would have been nice to have a Keurig coffee maker, though! There were plenty of towels and beach towels. The beds were comfortable. We loved sitting in the adirondack chairs on the covered porch and in the sun. We weren't expecting the downstairs area to be a totally separate apartment, but it was a nice area. The home was clean in obvious areas, but needed a little more vacuuming under the furniture and the bathtubs had very slow drains - both things that are easy to fix :-) Karen was great to work with and quickly responded to messages. The charcuterie box was so nice upon our arrival!

Nice beach

The beach was all ours. There weren't many people on it. Great sand. The waves are SO loud. It didn't bother us, but you heard it the whole time in the house. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. The apartment down below was in good shape. There is NO cell phone reception on this island (I've never stayed on an island that had good reception) My carrier is Verizon. Wi-fi calling didn't work for some reason either.

A Heartwarming Experience with Noble Stay and Karen

Our experience with Noble Stay and Karen was nothing short of exceptional. We rented a beach house from them recently and encountered a minor issue with the AC. However, their responsiveness and efficiency in getting it fixed almost immediately truly impressed us. It was clear that they prioritize guest comfort and satisfaction above all else. What truly set them apart was Karen's extraordinary effort and kindness. My daughter had accidentally left behind her beloved baby blanket, which held immense sentimental value as it was handmade by her grandmother. Despite the time that had passed, Karen went out of her way to locate the blanket and ensured it was safely mailed back to us. This act of genuine care and dedication went above and beyond our expectations. We cannot recommend Noble Stay and Karen highly enough. Their commitment to their guests' happiness and comfort, coupled with their outstanding customer service, makes them a standout choice for anyone looking to rent a vacation property. We are grateful for their exceptional service and will certainly be returning for future stays.

Not great but on the beach

The property needs work. I think it cost more than it is worth. It is an house with rooms for ten people to stay, only three bathrooms. One bedroom and bath are downstairs with no access to the main part of the house. Only going up the stairs to the main house. I would not recommend this house until they update more! Leaking when rain, the ice maker on the refrigerator did not work, the oven was temperamental, just old and needing work!

Beautiful view, covered porch a huge bonus!

We’ve stayed at another property in the area before, and enjoyed the added bedrooms and covered porch offered here. The property manager was wonderful! Home was clean, we didn’t feel like we were missing anything, and we were so thankful for the thoughtful wine and snacks there on our arrival. Smart TVs were fabulous for catching our shows in the evenings. Beachfront in S. Ponte Vedra just can’t be beat for the view and privacy. Note how the description says there is a separate entrance for one of the bedrooms… I missed this and thought all of the living space was connected- bit of a bummer for our particular family, we felt a little separated. There are also no “en suite” bathrooms in the main living area. But, the fault was mine for not being more careful with reading the details!

Beautiful Beach!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic stay at Hemingway Dream. The location couldn’t be better. Private beach far from public beach access just steps from the house back door. Great set up as well. Private first floor apart from the main levels. The house itself was great - good kitchen well stocked with needed supplies, good working AC, great flat screen TVs and fast internet. The house could use a fresh coat of paint but that in no way keeps the stay from being any less wonderful. Management was very attentive to any questions or issues.

Empty Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house is at a fantastic location (only bad thing was the road in front of the house, the cars were rather loud and fast) and we had the beach for ourselves. The condition of the house is not the best. A fresh coat of paint in many places and some maintenance would do wonders. It was not spotless, but it was not horribly dirty either. All in all we enjoyed our stay, but I doubt we will book this house again.

We found a lovely charcuterie box upon arrival. But the views...WOW! We spent many hours relaxing on the deck and even on the private beach steps away from the house. Downtown St. Augustine was a short drive away as was other smaller towns with shops and restaurants. We are counting the days until our next visit!

Right on the beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great location. House is lovely on the inside. The one issue was that the power to part of the house (including the fridge and washing machine) went off multiple times every day; we stayed over the Christmas period so it was difficult to get someone to look at it. Unsure whether the problem was with the house or the power supply company but I’m guessing it was the house.

The house was clean and there were plenty of clean towels. The only downside was there were no beach chairs or umbrellas, so that was an added expense. Since we were flying, we just "gifted" them to the next renters and hope that they pay it forward.

Great Get Away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place for our large family to stay. The lower level was more of an apartment set up. It was completely separate and had to be accessed from outside. This worked well for us since we had multiple families that stayed. It allowed some separation. The beach was very nice and private. The house had a bathroom and an outdoor shower that we used many times. Very short distance from the house to the beach. The house was clean. The beds were comfortable. Beach towels, extra blankets, and a card table were also provided. We would definitely stay here again. Very close to St Augustine and Jacksonville. Local restaurants were packed so we drove to the surrounding areas to eat.

Perfect Fall Escape

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was just about perfect....the range does not work! We had to manual start the gas burners and no oven entire stay. While it was bad since we brought all but one night’s dinner, we just brought up the toaster oven from apartment downstairs and made it work. We did call and some guy came out to “fix” it, he knew it didn’t worked, it basically felt like a courteous call. He did not fix it. BUT we still had a great time being right on the ocean, waves were amazing, shell collecting, bonfires twice, playing cornhole on yard when tide was too high, and drinking/chatting under covered deck when it was raining. It was the quiet relaxing long weekend we all needed. Please please just replace the entire range. St Augustine was fun too.
