Well stocked with towels and necessities. Great communication. The apartment is an end unit so it gets sun all day - a huge plus for us northerners. The heater pool was amazing (89 degree setpoint) - although they don't cover it so we had 2 33 degree nights in a row and it took 2 days to recover. The beach is wonderful as all St. Augustine beaches are. It was fun to be on Beach Blvd where we could walk to ice cream, dinner, grocery, and coffee ( we have always stayed further down the strip so everything involves a short drive). The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The kitchen had pretty much every appliance you could want/need. There were boogy boards, beach sand toys, umbrellas, and beach chairs. A very easy, convenient, and comfortable place to stay.
