About this property

FREE BIKES Dog-friendly apt in the heart of St A

A beautiful, renovated, pet-friendly, first-floor apt in a historic house . A fully-stocked kitchen for cooking, beautiful bathroom, comfy bed. A shaded, shared backyard with picnic tables and charcoal bbq grills. A few minute walk to the Historic District , Francis Field and Flagler College, while still being in a quiet neighborhood. Free use of bicycles. One parking space. Pet fee is $40 per dog per stay (max of 2 dogs). No cats.

This is a fun first floor apartment that has been completely renovated. There's a very comfortable queen size bed with a newly renovated bathroom. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the pots and pans you need to cook. The space has the old pine floors in it, which gives it part of the old home feel, and a beautiful (non-functioning) fireplace. Our guests love this home. and we hope you will too. it's a separate one bedroom, separate kitchen, with a combo living room/dining room.

********** We actively encourage our guests to purchase travel insurance.

We will only refund the booking for a hurricane threat if an evacuation is ordered in the area by the State of Florida. We experience threats nearly every other week during hurricane season, that rarely amount to anything.

Your apartment is completely independent, it's just the shared main entrance which provides access to four units (two upstairs and two downstairs). There's no in-home washer/dryer, but you have use of the two outside washers and dryers, soap included. The back yard is terrific, along with your private small deck with two chairs. The shared space has picnic tables, charcoal bbq grills and additional seating. There's lighting in the back yard as well. You have a back door that opens directly to the back yard and the shared space. The bicycles are on a first-come, first-serve basis.

We have a wonderful property manager who is available to answer any questions or provide any missing things. Can't find a corkscrew? Missing facecloths? They're all supposed to be there - just ask and if it's anything we can provide, we will. We want all of our guests to have a five star experience and it all starts by communication! We're also fully available by email or text. It's just that we're traveling too, so it's best to contact the property manager first. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance in case your plans change.

This is an interesting neighborhood. Located right across the street from Ketterlinus Elementary school, you definitely hear the sound of children playing during recess time, but it means it's pretty quiet at night. There's not a lot of street noise and there's typically street parking available.

It's fun to sit outside on weekend nights and hear the music from downtown, but you don't hear it in the house.

We're in a neighborhood called Flagler's Model Land. Most of the houses in the neighborhood were built in the 1800's and some are very charming. Most of the area was originally owned by Henry Flagler, who played an important part of the growth of St. Augustine. Flagler College is also just a couple of blocks away.

We're a few minute walk to The Barley Republic, if you're looking for a drink. The food at The Barley Republic is very Irish and very tasty. There's a number of other restaurants and bars within a few minutes too. St. Augustine is a great city to explore with great food, great cocktails and interesting historical sites. Don't miss The Fountain of Youth (wear bug spray).

We are less than two blocks from a trolley stop next to the Wax Museum, which most visitors to St. Augustine like to use to explore the city.

You are always welcome to park on the street in front of the house if there is room. If there's no parking, you also will have ONE assigned spot behind the property. Directions to the parking will be provided with your check-in instructions.

If you have a second car, or a large car or truck, we do have overflow parking for possibly one extra car on a first come, first serve basis. Parking permit is required. Our assigned parking will not accommodate large vehicles. The parking garage is about a three minute walk away.

For longer trips around, Uber, taxis and pedicabs are readily available.

The sofa bed is in the living room. You need to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom - just so you know about the privacy issue! There are games and books in the front hallway bookshelf for those rainy day activities. This is an old house, so you may hear some noise. Events and parties are not allowed as a result. We allow dogs in the property, which you need to know if you have severe allergies.

Great location to historic USA city
Great location on a one way side street helped to reduce vehicles, and within walking distance 2-3 blocks of an open field for our dogs and for us to historic St Augustine and beyond 😊

Great location
My husband and I enjoyed our stay. The room had everything we needed from the kitchen to the towels. We thought the location was perfect. Walking distance to the shopping eating area but just far enough away to be in a very quiet area. We will stay again!

Prime Location to Explore
The location of this property is perfect for exploring St. Augustine. Being within walking distance of restaurants and the hop on hop of tour was perfect for our vacation. The only drawbacks to our stay was the parking which was very tight for our Honda Pilot. Another guest had a truck in the small parking area and it was not easy to get in and out around their vehicle.

About the host

Hosted by Benoit & Lindsey

Host profile image
Benoit is originally from Montreal, Lindsey is the daughter of American diplomats and comes from Washington DC. We move to NE Florida in 2008, and in 2017 decided to make St. Augustine our home. We love the City and all it has to offer. We are constant travelers and are currently exploring South America with our collie/Australian shepherd dog Scout.

Why they chose this property

This property is so well located. We bought this property because we love old homes and we love renovating them. We spent two long years on this house, but the results are worth it. It turned out to be a beautiful home and I'm sure you will enjoy it.

What makes this property unique

The unique part about this home is that you not only have a first class apartment, you can also get outside and enjoy the weather when it's cooler. It includes the use of the back yard with bbq grills and plenty of seating to just hang out. There are first-come, first-serve bicycles that you are welcome to use to explore town during the day. It's so close to walk that we rarely take the bikes ourselves, but it's great to explore farther afield.
