Visiting St Augustine for a wedding
The property fit our needs perfectly. It was convenient to have access to washer/dryer. It was close enough to walk into St Augustine (2 mi) and very convenient to one of the beaches. Not knowing how many friends or family may have needed a place to stay, having both a trundle bed and fold out couch provided options. It’s an older home but has all the necessities. It was perfect for our stay.

Quiet neighborhood sweet home with extras
This felt like a connected owner not a corporation. Small details like games, cooking supplies,doggie things and even paper products folded into a bow made it feel special.

Adorable little cottage
This place is super cute in a quiet residential neighborhood. Very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. It is not a 20 min walk downtown as the listing says, more like 40+ mins. Even so, I would stay here again.

Don was a wonderful and considerate host! 10x better than a hotel. The place was so cozy and in a nice neighborhood- plus the location was perfect. Short drive to the main historic spots. Would definitely recommend!
