Fabulous Family Vacation Home!
We took our family of 7 on a quick little summer getaway and Fort Flox did not disappoint! This house is charming. It’s completely renovated and tastefully decorated AND had everything we needed to feel at home and enjoy our time together. So convenient to walk to the beach and really close to many cool dining places and shopping. Sarah is a rock star hostess! She communicated every step of the way and made us feel so welcomed. We will definitely visit again and encourage anyone looking in that area to book Fort Flox! Thank you so much!

Fantastic five star beach house!
Clean, chic, and comfortable- this beach escape has it all! The location was perfect, the home has a cute, classy, coastal decor, and the bedding and towels are wonderful. The owners provide exceptional communication and recommendations for dining and sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here and would highly recommend it to friends and family. Finding a pet friendly rental that is clean and well maintained was such a joy. The fenced in backyard with all of the tropical foiliage was so relaxing, especially with its close proximity to the ocean. This one is a beauty!

Fort Flox / Daytona 100 Ultramarathon
I am really hesitant to promote Fort Flox to the masses because of my desire to keep it my family’s hidden little gem! This home is absolutely stunning……has a backyard jacuzzi……steps from the beach…..& a few minutes from old town STA. This is hands down our favorite place to stay in FL. The owners are phenomenal & closely communicate with you regarding anything. We would highly recommend this home just hope it doesn’t get to where it is always booked a year out! LOL

Mosquito Heaven
Close to the beach. Location is great and private. Close to restaurants, Publix, and downtown St. Augustine. Beautifully decorated and comfortable. Over-all decently clean, especially for it being dog-friendly. Plenty of space and beds were okay. Both bathrooms are ensuite to two of the bedrooms. The Mosquitoes are terrible!!!! I bought mosquito bands, spray, Thermacell repellers, and multiple candles and we were still eaten alive. Tons would even fly into our cars. Found 3 roaches inside along with a giant spider in the garage and multiple on the house. I also had some sad kids when we found out the pool is 2 miles away and an extra $300. I totally understand the hosts not just paying it, but it should be made known before booking when it is advertised as having a pool. If the Mosquitoes and other bugs were taken care of, along with some other matinance issues, i would consider staying again.

Great house
We were attending a music festival in St. Augustine for the weekend and this property was so cute! It was very clean, nicely renovated, and had everything we were looking for. It was close enough to downtown St. Augustine to easily catch an Uber for 10-11 dollars each way. The check in process was very smooth. The hot tub wasn’t working upon our arrival, but it wasn’t really a big deal. It would be nice for a family vacation, as it has a third bedroom dedicated to children, with a bunk bed. It was well stocked with anything you would need for a little beach vacation. The house is located about a mile from the actual beach, on a quiet road. It is close to the beach but I’m not sure I would walk there if you have small children, just due to the traffic. We didn’t have any issues with noise or neighbors. It’s located in a great spot with a Publix nearby and other conveniences. Door dash also delivers there. The outdoor deck and backyard area was very nice. It has a large table outside that seats 6 and that’s where we hung out a lot. It was perfect for what we were doing and I’m really happy we picked it for our trip.

Fort Flox Fun
Great accommodations for friends escaping mud season up north! We only had to walk a block to the beach - and the beach was perfect! (not super busy but so many shells...) The house was decorated beautifully, had comfy beds, and a hot tub! Sarah was quick to answer our every question. We wish we could go back now...

Fantastic Home Close to Beach
We really enjoyed our stay at this updated beautifully decorated home. The fenced in backyard was great for enjoying morning coffee and playing frisbee with our dog. The outdoor shower came in handy for cleaning off after walking on the beach. Sarah & Aaron are amazing owners - very responsive & helpful in all aspects during our 2 week vacation.

Wonderful time!
This house is absolutely beautiful! It looks like a place that was just remodeled on HGTV. We arrived a week after Hurricane Ian and everything was cleaned up and in perfect condition. The proximity to the beach was great. The house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood, but close enough to St. Augustine to go out on the town. The kitchen was well stocked with essential items. The owner was very kind, checked in with us and responded quickly. We hope to come here again!
