A charming and quiet escape. Close enough to walk to many attractions and restaurants, but far enough away to provide a quiet night. We enjoyed our weekend at the Turtlenest.

My wife and I had a great stay! The apartment is spotless with a well stocked kitchen. Very private space over the garage with a beautiful balcony for sunsets. Mona is a fantastic host, very helpful with information about the area. The location was perfect for us. Safe walking distance to the historic sites and waterfront in St. Augustine, and a 10 minute drive to the beaches. Highly recommend staying here!

Quiet getaway!

Mona, the host, was very accommodating. Parking spot was plenty big for our truck and off street behind a gate. Unit was sparkling clean, high end finishes. Small touches by the host made the stay extra special. Close enough to walk pretty much anywhere! Highly recommend!

Absolutely Perfect!

We visited St Augustine for a few days and stayed at the Turtle Nest. The location is perfect, within walking distance to town. You are only a few miles away from a few beaches. The Turtle Nest has everything you need for a few days or a week. It is decorated so nicely and so clean! The owners are so nice and helpful. They met us on arrival, made sure we were able to park our car in a good spot, gave us dinner recommendations for a birthday celebration. We hope to come back and stay longer in the future!
