The stay was very enjoyable and we loved the home. Location was perfect for our 4th of July plans of going to beach, historic district, fireworks, walking to pier, and Conch house.
This was the perfect house for a long weekend. We were able to bike to the local amphitheater for a show and had a plenty of food options near by. Additionally, we brought our boat and used it for a day to see some local sites from the water. Finally, the house was well furnished with comfortable beds and a well-maintained pool. We'd definitely go back!
I rented this place to celebrate my mom’s birthday. The property is so nice and a great size. Love the beach vibes it gives and it’s super clean. The pool was amazing, lots of space in the pool area. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. Also, it’s so close to downtown; literally a 5-7 min drive, which is perfect to Uber since the parking isn’t that great downtown. I loved it here and would absolutely book again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
Lovely home, really enjoyed the private pool. Close to beach and downtown St Augustine. Short walk from mini golf and great restaurants like O'Steens. Thank you for a wonderful week in St Augustine!
Property was exactly as advertised and great location. As a former St. A resident it was super to be able to visit old haunts. Right across the street from the Conch House with live music and walk to downtown. Enjoyed!

Rooms were pretty clean Our complaint was that the pictures on the listing showed very bright light rooms. The kitchen was very dark. The master bathroom was very small and outdated. It was hard to curl my hair with the only one outlet. All the doors creaked and so did my bedroom frame, which was the king size room. Can opener was rusty and old they could have updated that. Coffee maker is old and every time I made 12 cups, only 10 cups of coffee came out and it took about 15 to 18 minutes to brew. Otherwise pretty good location only a mile walk to the historic downtown The good part about it was the conch was across the street which we loved using their restaurant and bar area. The house should have a barbecue for people who love to eat barbecued food. Overall, everything was pretty old except the one bathroom which was updated. Everything looks like it was bought at a garage sale.
Our family had off shore fishing trips planned all weekend, being walking distance to the marina was exactly what we wanted. The pool offered a relaxing afternoon/evening after being out fishing all day. The Home was clean and had beyond our expectations of kitchen cookware available. We will definately book this Home again in the Future

Kitchen dishwasher in need of repair
The location was fantastic. Parking was much better than expected. The biggest concern is the dishwasher and kitchen in need of repair. There was a lot of rust in the dishwasher.
The house is located in an area close to dining, the property is well kept
Pool is older but fine to take a dip in.
Had we stayed a day or two longer we would have had to go buy papergoods, as only one roll of TP per bathroom was provided.
There was a white travel van that was parked in front of the property the entire stay and it freaked my kids out a little.
Overall a great stay.
The privacy of the pool gets the gold star!! When you reach a certain age, screaming kids just aren't appealing LOL. This cute bungalow was perfect for us to unwind for a week. The centralized location also gets a gold star! You're 5 minutes from downtown one way and 5 minutes from the beach the other way. Being able to walk across the street to The Conch House for a meal and drinks is a plus but the downside of that is traffic and the live music at times. But by bedtime it was better. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back!

Great home. Fantastic location.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was beautiful and comfortable and just the right size. The kids loved the pool and being across the street from the Conch House restaurant was a nice surprise. It felt private yet close to everything. No one wanted to leave! Can't wait to rent this house again.

Great Home
Loved the home, Excellent little get away for anyone or family. Had One issue with no Wifi but rental team jumped on it and had it repaired fast! We had a great time. Thanks
We had 4 adults and 2 kids and it was great for us. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for us all. I like that we were near downtown and lots of great restaurants but that the neighborhood is quiet. The master bathroom is kinda small but other than that no complaints.
The top attribute I need to mention about this property is the cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless inside and out. Very evident the owner's use the property themselves and care about it. The location was excellent, the kitchen was well-appointed, and we all loved the pool. Would definitely recommend.

Wonderful Vacation
Our group had the best of times, the pool was wonderful, beds were comfortable, all the necessities of home. I could hear the tunes from the Conch house while enjoying an evening at the pool (an added bonus). We will see you again next year, if available. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! We walked to a nice dinner at Conch House and walked to Juicy for some fantastic healthy breakfast bowls! Spent a day in the ancient city as well as Anastasia Island. The Saturday farmers market at the amphitheater was fun too. The house was very cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. We spent our last day lounging by the pool. Over all, a great experience!

it is adorable and very vintage. walking distance to down town and a short drive to the beach.
Good for families and has enough space to fit 6 people and the pool was a nice place to cool off in the evenings after a day spent at the beach. Walking distance to my favorite Mellow Mushroom so that was nice. Only negatives would be that the ac is weak when it is really hot out and the sprinkler system that kicks on at 4am is loud and smells very bad. Will rent it again in the cooler season since it is a fabulous location.
