This place was perfect for a quick getaway. The room was clean, comfortable, and a short walk or bike ride to the main area. The outside area was also great for enjoying a drink in the evening or coffee in the morning. We’d definitely stay again.

Thanks for the review! It was a pleasure hosting a wonderful stay at experience. Excited to hear that you will be back! See you next time.
This is a great place to stay when you are looking to be close to the downtown area. There are so many places to go within walking distance which we loved versus having to pay for parking everywhere we went.
A walk away from the town. Great location. It was clean and comfortable and the management was professional and responsive.

Lovely room with all amenities needed. Prefect for a 2/3 night stay. The King size bed was one of the tye very best we've slept in. We slept like babies. Enjoyed our little patio a lot. Overall, we will absolute retun someday soon and would reccomend to everyone.
Space was small but very adequate. Very easy to get around old town and Historic area. Found some new gems exploring old town.

Thank you so much for your review! Unfortunately, spaces in our downtown area are not as spacious being closer to the town. The further away the home is from town, the bigger the space. It was a pleasure hosting and thank you for your visit. Hoping to see you back for another great time.
Tell your mom want to know that loved the convenient location to downtown St augustine. Nice quaint very clean room. The host was very communicative. Pet friendly! Perfect for a quick stop to tour St Augustine!
This little place is in a very good location at only a mile from Historic Downtown St. Augustine. The place was very clean and functional. Everything worked properly. This little place was good for my wife and I to enjoy New Years in Historic St. Augustine.
The room was perfect for our stay. We were in town for a concert and it provided a comfortable room with a refrigerator and microwave to relax in before the concert and come back to for the night. We would definitely stay again.
Our accommodation was perfect for the two of us and our pup.
Great location and an easy 20 minute walk to the heart of old town St Augustine. Very safe area with a very well appointed rental unit. Super happy that our host had provided a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We really enjoyed our stay!
