2nd stay just as good as the 1st

Second time staying at the house, all aspects of rental were fantastic. House was spacious for 3 families of 4 with 6 teenagers, clean, well appointed, and the best part was the proactive and timely response from the hosts. Great stay 2 years running.

Great family vacation

We had a great time for our week stay. Michelle and Michael were amazing and so responsive. They had wine, chocolates, flowers, and some fun floats for us which was such a nice touch. The house was great, very comfortable and spacious for 3 families and all the kids. Also, a great kitchen for cooking since going out to restaurants isn’t something we wanted to do. Would love to stay there again.

Perfect Vacation Home

Not only was the house spotless when we got there, but the pool was clean and perfect for both families who stayed there. The location is very close to Anastasia State Park which is the best beach access if you want to avoid fighting for parking along A1A Beach, and it’s also close to great restaurants in the area (O’Steens, OC White’s, Mellow Mushroom, etc). The owner was awesome and is available for any issues or assistance with the area. Highly recommend and we bookmarked the house for future visits!

Perfect fall break getaway!

We drove down for fall break from Atlanta, and loved our time at the property and in St. Augustine. The home was clean, spacious, and easily accommodated 6 adults and 6 children. The beach wasn't too far and the kids loved swimming in the pool in the evenings. The host Michelle was extremely responsive, polite and helpful. We definitely recommend!

Christmas in Saint Augustine

Michelle and Michael's house is beautiful, clean and was a perfect family getaway over Christmas! They were very easy to communicate with and made sure our stay was relaxing. Great location - beautiful neighborhood to run in and close to all the attractions. Highly recommend walking over to the alligator farm for the zip line experience! Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

Excellent property and even better location

We enjoyed our stay very much. The property was clean, up to date, and comfortable. The host was helpful and responsive in fixing a minor issue. The pool was great and we had everything we needed. The location is hard to beat! So close to the beaches and the bridge to the historic area. There are various mattress hardnesses throughout, so try to match those with personal preferences. The living and dining area provided plenty of space for hanging out and playing games.

You will not be disappointed if you come to this vacation home. I wish I could go higher than a five because I would rate You the highest I could go. We can’t wait to come back.

Family vacation

This was the perfect house for our family vacation. We could not have asked for more. We were welcomed to the home with flowers, a box of chocolates and a bottle of wine. The house and pool was very clean and well stocked with anything you could possible need. The kids did not want to leave the house. They were happy to stay home and not venture out. Great location to walk to Alligator Farm or short drive to the beach st the State Park. Thank you Michelle for helping us have a family vacation we will always remember. The Scaffe family

St. Augustine Getaway

Our family of twelve (two grandparents, two children and spouses, and six grandchildren ages 3 - 10) had the vacation we craved at Lair de Leon. It was the perfect base for excursions to St. George Street where we shopped and dined at the always satisfying Columbia restaurant and, of course, to the Alligator Farm a short walk away. When not out and about, we enjoyed splashing around in the pool, a must-have for the little ones. My wife was very pleased with how well-stocked the kitchen was. The personal touch that Michelle and Michael added with their homecoming gift of wine, chocolate and flowers was an unexpected bonus. Anyone wanting to stay in the St. Augustine area would be very pleased to spend some time at Lair de Leon.

Great House near everything

Our hosts, Michelle and Michael, were great and answered all our questions. We were greeted with chocolate and wine. The house was large and comfortable. It is actually more beautiful in real life. After sightseeing, it was great to come back to the house and jump in the pool. Pool towels were supplied, along with floats and pretty much anything else you could need. The landscaping was beautiful. Close to everything but still felt private. I cannot say enough positive things. My daughter said this was the best house and the best vacation ever. Thank you again to Michelle and Michael for being such wonderful hosts.

Amazing house in St Augustine

This house was beautiful. We had a 50th wedding anniversary party for my parents and rented this house for my family, my sister’s family and my parents. The house was perfect for our trip. The master bedroom was enormous, but all the bedrooms were very spacious. The house also has 3 full bathrooms. The kids loved the heated pool and the room with the futon. The parents loved hanging out by the pool and in the main living area. There was plenty of room for the kids and adults so we didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. We all agreed that we would rent this house again in a heartbeat. Michelle and Michael were wonderful hosts.

About the host

Hosted by Michelle

Host profile image
We are the proud Parents of 3 sons aged 15, 11 and 10. We came to St Augustine for the same reason you might be vacationing and decided to stay. Our home has been a labor of love and we hope that our efforts are enjoyed by you and your family too. Our boys have all helped in preparing to make your stay a joy. We are all excited to host you.

Why they chose this property

We originally chose the home for its close proximity to our sons elementary school but have benefited from all the perks of its location as well.

What makes this property unique

Our home is in a great location. On a private street that has a tropical feel amid the attractions. The Alligator farm is literally at the end of the street, we bike ride into town and walk to the Amphitheater or Lighthouse. The State and public beach are as close as 1 to 1.5 miles from the house too.
