It's a super location to walk everywhere, head downtown via San Marco or walk through the neighborhood and the Castillo. The water is at the end of the street! A note on ambiance: It is a quiet neighborhood albeit connected to a very busy tourist town. You will hear people, cars, the cannon fire at the fort, church chimes and the occasional trolley in the daytime. This includes the Firestone during their regular hours.
Enter through private gate next to red house. Unit 2 is the shy walk way to the left before the garden structures. Please follow tall red wooden pathway into your vacation suite. Free street parking is available after the stop sign on Locust without yellow curbs (Hostfully link may be helpful) or use parking pass provided in room. Address is on card (garage is a block away).

Perfect for a couple! Had everything we needed, was clean and very centrally located. Perfect for a place to sleep while you enjoy St. Augustine! Owner was also very communicative. Thank you!
We had the best time in St. Augustine. The space was exactly what we were looking for in our little retreat. The proximity to all of the local attractions was one of the reasons why we chose this place. We will definitely be back!

Comfortable and Clean
The room was perfect for me and my husband. Everything was clean and very comfy. I love how close it is to the historic downtown. A 5 minute walk. Would definitely stay there again.
Room was exactly as described. (Clean and Quiet) Our host Huyen Le was awesome and very responsive to any questions we had. Room is conveniently located with about a 5 to 10 minute walk to historic downtown which was very nice. Saved us a lot on parking. Would stay again!

Perfect St. Augustine Overnight
Just a little studio apartment in a great location. There are restaurants and bars and shopping all within a two minute walk. It took us about 10 minutes to walk into Old Town St. Augustine. Room has a small refrigerator and a Keurig so it's all you need.
My son and I traveled to Saint Augustine for a fourth grade field trip. This was centrally located annd easy to meet up with the other classmates. We walked everywhere that weekend. It is a small room but has everything you need for a comfortable weekend stay. There is a great coffeehouse around the corner. We walk to for breakfast. An access to the parking garage was great.
Enjoyed our stay in St. Augustine! Location was great, very walkable to attractions, restaurants, etc.. It is very small, but comfortable. We were in town only one night, so worked well for us. Parking is limited/tight on the street. We used the owner-provided parking pass for the parking garage which is about 1/2 mile away but a nice walk. Owner very nice and communication was quick and thorough during our stay.

Amazing Stay In Uptown St. Augustine
Our stay at the Uptown Retreat was amazing! Walking distance to everything in uptown and steps away from downtown! Nice and quiet and super comfortable! Awesome shower and nice a private in the back of the divided home. We loved having the parking pass for the downtown garage at Cordova Street whenever we couldn’t find street parking so we could save $ on parking for downtown St. Augustine. The host is so kinda and responsive and we will definitely be returning here or her other properties!

This is quite a gem, located in a perfect location in the center of historic St Augustine. Although it is located right next to a Firestone, it did not bother us since we were out all day and they close at night. The neighborhood is quaint for nightly walks. The bed is comfortable and the room is a studio, small but met all our needs. It was clean and ready when we arrived. I was amazed how the room was arranged with everything from a sink, microwave to fridge. Our host kept us informed every step of the way! We gave it a four because there is a upstairs and you can’t help but hear them going up and down the stairs late at night and the walls seemed a bit thin as we could hear them talking. The air conditioner fan for that unit was right outside our window and kept on going on and off. It didn’t bother me as much as it did my husband, who is a light sleeper. These may not bother most. The location trumps all. I would stay here again.

This is a clean, cozy place in a safe and very walkable area — super close to bars, restaurants, shopping and other cool places. The host was very responsive and the check-in and checkout processes were seamless . Thank you for a great stay!
The Retreat met the needs for our stay. But we did find the room very small and pretty cramped for 2 people, in some areas single file for passing each other. You couldn't really tell this from the listing. There is not parking on the property, but we found street parking pretty easily. The outside lighting did not adequately lighten the steps and my husband almost tripped and fell. We loved the location, and the neighborhood. Communication with the owner was excellent.
