Our house features original hardwood floors throughout, antique brass chandeliers, original door hardware, beautiful antique furniture, and a claw foot tub.

Amazing stay!!! The house totally fit the historic vibe of the city! And the host was fantastic. So responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this property!!!!
We came for a girls birthday weekend and had an amazing time! This home was perfectly located across from an excellent coffee shop, Juniper Cafe. Highly recommend it!The home was clean and so cool with old features and decor. The size was perfect for 5 people to each have their own bed. No one in our group wanted to share a bed! The location of this home made this the perfect getaway! We could walk to the Fort and shopping/restaurant areas. Would definitely stay here again! Host was quick to respond to my little questions and accommodating to my requests. Thanks for an amazing weekend!
We loved our stay. The house was clean and well equipped. Close to downtown and all the attractions. I recommend if you want to enjoy the beautiful city of St. Augustine!
Great stay for our famiky group of 8. Walkable to attractions, restaurants and nightlife. Easy location to explore the city. Great layout for families with teen. Would recommend!
Great historic property. If you want the old Florida historic feel for a trip to St Augustine then this is the place! Easy walk to downtown. Thank you for the experience.
This was my second stay here because the location is perfect and the house is wonderful!! It's just a few minute walk to St. George St., the Fort, Ripley's Museum but out of the chaos. The neighborhood is excellent and neighbors are friendly. I will always choose this house if it's available when I have friends and family come to visit.
Beautiful property located steps away fromrestaurants, shops and all St Agustine’s points of interest.The house is very charming, but it could use andupgrade on bed linens and pillows,Overall we had a great time !
An easy walk to the historic district of St. Augustine from a quiet neighorhood. Comfortable beds. Enough room for the seven of us. Would definitely stay again.
Very charming old house. It was well stocked and a short walk to the historic areas. The antique (fully functional) kitchen stove was a fun surprise. Definitely want to stay there again.
This was our second time staying in this beautiful old house and we absolutely love it! The location is perfect, the house is very clean, and you can't beat the neighborhood. We love staying here and can't wait to stay again!!
Wonderful old cracker home decorated beautifully best was location so easy to walk to everything parked our vehicles and didn’t move them again until we left! Thank you for hosting us
Property is just as listed. Excellent communication with the property manager and the location really can’t be beat. We walked to and from George St multiple times. Oh, and the king bed was super comfy!
The property was exactly as we expected. Location was perfect, close to everything. The host was quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely stay again.
So convenient, right in the middle of historic district
The historic house was in a perfect location for walking to several attractions and restaurants within the historic district. We enjoyed walking to the Old Jail, St George Street, and the hop on hop off trolley. Our host, Christian, was attentive, and the place was very clean.
