We came for a girls birthday weekend and had an amazing time! This home was perfectly located across from an excellent coffee shop, Juniper Cafe. Highly recommend it!The home was clean and so cool with old features and decor. The size was perfect for 5 people to each have their own bed. No one in our group wanted to share a bed! The location of this home made this the perfect getaway! We could walk to the Fort and shopping/restaurant areas. Would definitely stay here again! Host was quick to respond to my little questions and accommodating to my requests. Thanks for an amazing weekend!

We rented an antique Florida house, 8 of us coming from various Florida locations and Kansas. Settling, wood swelling, floors creaking - all part of the expected charm. There were minimal amounts, but PLENTY of charm. This place is beautiful and the location can’t be beat. Blocks from all the history, food and shopping you can handle, and around the corner from tram services to go wherever you don’t want to walk. I couldn’t tell you if the televisions worked, as we spent our time at the house barbecuing, eating, talking, and playing cards. We drank and read on the porch and balcony. This home is clean, quiet air conditioning, good water pressure, and messaging the host yielded quicker responses than I expected. If I ever need a place in St Augustine again, I will look for this house first. We loved it.

Great stay near the fort

Great stay near downtown St Augustine. Everything is within walking distance, even with small children. Comfortable beds and was enough to fit 2 families (7 people). Easy check in and checkout. Not too far of a drive to come sights, Alligator farm, Lighthouse and the Beach. Super close to the fort as well-perfect for the 4th of July stay.

Fantastic house & location!!

This was my second stay here because the location is perfect and the house is wonderful!! It's just a few minute walk to St. George St., the Fort, Ripley's Museum but out of the chaos. The neighborhood is excellent and neighbors are friendly. I will always choose this house if it's available when I have friends and family come to visit.

70th birthday weekend

My mother in love was celebrating her 70th and St Augustine is a special place for her. My wife and 2 kids put together a surprise weekend for her and one of her sons was able to come with his wife and toddler. We had a wonderful time the house was absolutely perfect for our group. Super comfortable and superb location. Kitchen was well stocked with anything to cook meals and the place was one of the cleanest we’ve stayed in. Fabulous place!
