Getting Around:
Getting around town is very easy with many options available to our guests! With many downtown attractions being under two miles away from the Beehive bungalow, guests can walk, bike or drive to all destinations. A short two minute walk to the Old Jail will give you access to one of the main stations of the Old Town Trolley stations. This is a guest favorite as it provides transportation as well as a fun history lesson along the way! You are also a quick 5 minute drive to the amazing Vilano Beach which also allows vehicles to park directly on the sand!
Other Things to Note:
While we want all guests to feel right at home, we ask for your cooperation in a few areas.
1. Please do not lower the air conditioning below 68 degrees or raise the heat higher than 72 degrees. This will ensure our air conditioning system will maintain peak performance for all guests.
HEATED POOL DISCLAIMER
1. We may live in Sunny Florida but the pool still gets chilly sometimes! Pool heating is available upon request for an additional $40 per day. Please give us at least 48 hours notice so we can fire up the heater - it takes about 24 hours to reach that perfect temp.
2. Florida weather is amazing and unpredictable! Due to this, hosts cannot guarantee pool temperature. We will make every effort to maintain a temperate range of 78 degrees to 88 degrees. Guests must advise hosts 48 hours prior to arrival that they would like the pool to be heated! Please keep in mind, heating takes time so guest requests are very important!

My husband, sister and myself settled in and had a wonderful time. The place was tastefully decorated and had all the ammenities! The beds and pillows were super comfortable and we all had agreat nights sleep. Also the place was very private with a fence around the property and a wonderful underground, private pool!!! Coffee in the morning on the deck by the pool was a real treat for us northeners. Would definitely recommend this place.
This home is perfect. The location couldn't be better and the house had everything we needled
We went as a delayed Christmas with family. The location allowed us ti walk everywhere. The only negative was ir was too cold to enjoy the pool and patio area. We did have to get a Hulu account on order to watch a football game in rhe evening, the home doesn't offer much on the way of tv.
We had a relaxing time. It was unusually cold. Hard to keep warm. One bathroom with tub was a little inconvenient. Was unable to use because of the size and height. Very quaint place
Near of the historic downtown and very close to Fountain of Youth, the history that the house have is impressive and everything was like the description.
Very clean, super cute, historic home! We loved making s'mores at the firepit! The adults and kids loved the old style arcade games. Within walking distance of pretty much everything. We really enjoyed staying here!
Our host was the best!. Quick response when we need it and really a nice attitude. The house was in a wonderful neighborhood, close to a lot of attractions. It was clean and cozy.
We had everything we needed. Short walk to restaurants, shops and the historic downtown. The pool was clean and refreshing during the heat! I would recommend this bungalow for your next visit to St. Augustine!
Loved the Beehive Bungalow, such a cnvienient location to all of the St Augustine area. The Property is very clean and nicelylayed out, the heated pool was a Huge Plus. Definitely will return to this property in the future.
Located in the perfect area! Walk or short drive to nearly everything! Trolley tour and old jail and old merchantile right on the corner. Pool was a big plus after a day of sight seeing! Grilled steaks one night and burgers another. Back porch was our hangout, loved the screened in porch and pool! Final night of our stay we enjoyed a nice fire in the fire ring. Nothing but good times!
This place was absolutely amazing beautiful perfect location and so accommodating in every way. We had a blast and kids enjoyed there self’s as well. We will definitely be back. Probably one of the best we have been too that had everything we needed to make our trip amazing without stressing. Thank you
We were surprised how quiet this spot was considering how close it was to major tourist spots, the Old Town Trolley hub and the Fountain of Youth. After a long day of sightseeing, it was perfect to come back to a pool the kids could play in. The back porch is so relaxing to enjoy morning coffee and read. We loved walking around the corner each day to beautiful Magnolia Ave with the gorgeous trees draping over the road and peacocks everywhere!
The house was located on a quaint tree lined street close to the fountain of youth. The bedrooms did not have TV. The water pressure in the second bathroom was low so everyone used the master shower. Plenty of space and overall good place to stay
The house was perfect. Had all of the amenities and comforts of home. The owners attention to detail was perfect. We definitely recommend and would definitely come back for a second visit.
Location was perfect. Downtown was walking distance and so was the fountain of youth. The property did appear to be larger in pics displayed on line but when we got there, it was smaller and we were 4 adults and a 2 year old child so we felt a bit crowded. Overall it was clean and the pool was a good thing since we had hot temperatures during our stay.
Very cute quaint older house. Pictures don't give accurate details of exactly how house actually is. Main bedroom bed is a little hard, and oddly set up. The pool was dirty with stuff coming thru the netting above, but that was understandable with all the rain and storms. The house could use a little better cleaning as when we got there one of the bathroom rugs was soaked and the counters hadn't been wiped and the silverware and knives were dirty.Overall, we enjoyed the house And it took care of our shelter needs while on vacation.

Liked: Check-in, location
Disliked: Communication
The property was in a very nice, central location. It was close to everything we wanted to do & the neighborhood was great. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the description of the property and the responsiveness of the host was where my review dropped. It took over 24hrs to get a response. The pool was NOT heated (as advertised and the main reason we booked this house instead of another) & no communication at all to let us know a tech was coming by early in the morning. The rooms were just that: rooms with a bed. No closet, no storage for any of our clothes or toiletries. The kitchen had plenty of plates & cups, but only one oversized mixing bowl. No food storage containers for those of us who like to cook for our families. I was hesitant to write any of this bc I have never left anything but 5 stars on any if the other properties we have visited, but I also have never experienced the lack of communication or lack of basic storage that this property offered. I just want others to know what they're getting into before they rent as I read reviews and none mentioned these issues. We only stayed a few days, but a week or longer would have been uncomfortable.
We didn’t end up staying the full time because the property just wasn’t what we needed. There is only one television in the living room and it only has streaming services available…although it’s possible that it’s just that we couldn’t figure the cable out. The house is very cute, but smaller than the pictures make it seem. Perfect for a young family, but doesn’t really work with teenage boys. Brittany was very quick to respond and we didn’t have any problems, it just wasn’t right for us. Do note that though it says two full baths, one bathroom has a tub with a sprayer but you can’t stand up to take a shower. Other than that, it’s cute. No complaints, just wasn’t for us.
The house is older but has a lot of charm and decorated so cute 🐝 Even though the pool is not that deep, we enjoyed it!
Great location, close to The Fountain of Youth and downtown St. Augustine. Very Quick responses from property manager and owner with any problems that arose. The owner is very accommodating.
The house was in a great location, we could basically walk everywhere we wanted to go, only drove when we went to the 4WD beach. The beds were comfortable and the pool was refreshing. My family enjoyed it very much.
