Nice Neighborhood

Very clean house. Loved the swing in the backyard. No outlets next to the beds so may want to bring an extension cord. Nice quiet neighborhood. We walked to Fort Mose an off the beaten path state park. Would definitely stay here again.

Girls Weekend

We had a wonderful weekend. The house is very nice, and the back yard is great. We did struggle a bit with trying to cook meals could use some more pots and pans. But we managed and had a great time. We will most definitely be back. Diane

Cute place

Place needs some TLC. The tub was in need of replacement and table was wobbly. Check out procedure a little harsh if you are 15 minutes over 10:00 AM it will be $50. A fresh paint job would make it more attractive. All in all a good stay for the value.

Great Lication

House was great. Could have been dusted better - lots of dirt on air vents and ceilings. The mattress in 2nd bed in the bedroom definitely needs replacing. Was all sunken in. Other than that we loved the house and location.

Not good

We actually didn't stay the weekend. We left moments after entering property. I felt the pictures didn't really show how small the house was and is very outdated.

Girls mini vacay

The front door keypad was a little tricky but nothing to get upset about. The house is super cute but old, so it creeks, as you would expect. Rooms are nice size, and the bed were ok. Not complaining about that, just they weren't my bed lol. Neighborhood seemed nice but I was a little nervous about the bar on the corner. No worries cause there were no problems, just wasn't expecting it. Overall loved this little place. Will use again!

A very comfortable stay in St Augustine

We had a very nice stay here. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to every where we wanted to go. Beds were large and comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, everything was in working order and the living room was cozy. There was a little snafu when we arrived and two of the beds had not been made up, though it was past check-in time. I phoned our hostess who quickly came over and remedied the situation. I would definitely recommend this home. The only drawback is that there is just one bathroom. It was not an issue for the 3 of us, but might be for a larger group.

Overall just fine.

The location of this property is pretty convenient for the St. Augustine experience. Although right next to a bar the neighborhood was very quiet. The house is older and you can tell during your stay. However, there was a large amount of ants in the bathroom and the kitchen. For me it was not a big deal but for my wife it wasn’t her favorite. I think for my short stay it was just fine for the price.

A Quiet Spot

There were three of us and we all found the place clean, quiet and mostly comfortable. I have a few notes for the owner though. 1. Bathtub is slippery, with no grab bar, so I’d recommend putting down some kind of non-slip stickers on the tub floor. 2. In the smaller bedroom some kind of light by the bed would be helpful. Because the house has limited electrical outlets, maybe something cordless would work? 3. Also in the smaller bedroom, since there’s no closet I’d suggest putting a rack on the back of the door. 4. This one’s petty, but keeping a few beach towels around would be helpful for out of town visitors who want to go to the beach. All in all though, we were happy with the place.

Great space!

We visited Saint Augustine for a night to celebrate my daughter‘s 10th birthday. The home was very lovely & comfortable. Tammy was so helpful and great with communication. The beds were comfortable and delightful after a long day of running around. The location was great for getting to our desired destinations. We can’t wait to go back and stay again. Thank you Tammy!

This home is adorable and the outside area is perfect although it was too cold the weekend we were there to enjoy it and have a fire in the fire pit. Although you do have to drive into town, it’s definitely not walking distance.
