Just a short trip from all the excitement!

The property is easy to access and has a shocking amount of living space that handily accommodated a large group. It is also easy walking distance to a lot of the city proper, including one of the trolley stops that makes the weekend stay one of the easiest get-arounds I've had.

Family getaway weekend to see Nights of Lights

St. Augustine is known for its beautiful Christmas lights display in its downtown area. This was a weekend trip to take my mother in law for her 70th birthday with the family. The location to downtown was walkable or short Uber. We were able to park 2 SUVs in the 2 S2 SUBs

Comfortable, Clean & Close to the Action!

We stayed here for Nights of Lights with our family and 2yo daughter. The home is super well appointed with everything you’ll need, is very clean and comfortable and close to downtown. It feels much larger than it looks in photos and we had plenty of space for 3 couples, one adult, and one kid. The backyard was great for our dog (fully fenced and well lit). I highly recommend to anyone looking to explore St Augustine!

Visit with family in Lincolnville

I stayed here with my adult children while visiting family who live in Lincolnville. The property worked well for us because it had enough bedrooms, and the common space was large enough. The living room worked will for a large group, with ample seating and a large TV. We also enjoyed the large dining tables. I wish the weather had been nicer so we could have taken advantage of the outdoor space. The location was great for walking downtown.

St. Augustine Getaway

Our group of four retired adults had a perfect vacation at this rental - perfect weather to enjoy the deck, stroll around the neighborhood, and find local activities. With several rooms to gather or steel away for some quiet time, this house would also be comfortable for a larger group.Our host was very responsive and was helpful in directing us to nearby services. We were interested in seeing historical sites and we wanted a relaxing pace in a comfortable, walkable neighborhood. This house was ideal. The bedrooms were nicely fitted out; the kitchen was well-equipped with plentiful dishes and cookware; and everything was clean.

Perfect, just what we needed!

This home is lovely, well stocked and the beds were all so comfortable! It is perfect for a large group. The location was great and the neighborhood was quiet. The sidewalks in the neighborhood were an added bonus for early morning or late evening walks. Communication with the host, Raena, was swift and delightful. Myself, three sisters and our 90 year old Mother were so glad we chose this perfect home for our St. Augustine adventure. Thank you to our wonderful and gracious host!

About the host

Hosted by Raena

Host profile image
I've lived all over the US but call Tahoe and St. Augustine, FL home. Decorating each house is a labor of love and I hope to create spaces for my guests that I know my family would also personally enjoy and feel comfortable in. My favorite thing about hosting is helping others find all the hidden gems in the places we love. We hope you make many memories and here to help in anyway we can.

Why they chose this property

I grew up coming to St Augustine every year to spend summers with my grandparents. I know everything about this town and am so happy to be able to host my own guests now. Because I love history so much, I knew an older home right in downtown was to me. With the backyard, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect second home.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many homes in Lincolnville and downtown, we have parking, a garage, and a backyard. This home is also much larger than most houses you'll find in the area - not to mention it's over 100 years old. Haunted? I'm not sure yet.

Premier Host

They consistently provide great experiences for their guests
