Great little vacation home

Visit to St. Augustine

Was looking for a place not far from the fun and dog friendly. The bedding and all were very clean, the baseboards not as much but overall very clean and comfortable. We had a great time and the dogs had room to relax as well. Would definitely stay there again.

Very cozy nice house. Now it is alittle on the smaller side but it worked perfectly for a couple and a dog. The porch was perfect to have a morning coffee and watch the dog play in the big fenced in yard. Communication was great and they had some amazing recommendations.

Seaside cottage

Quite, walkable neighborhood, could easily walk to the city, fort and downtown. (30ish minute walk) The house was small but snug. Back deck and fenced in was a big plus with small children. Home was clean as well. Would stay again if we came back to the area.

Cute home in beautiful neighborhood

This was a cute old Florida home on a street with many similar old-Florida homes. The fenced backyard was great for our dog. The home was furnished simply and comfortably -- nothing fancy and also just right. My husband walked to the historic section and I drove to nearby parks to photograph birds. We would stay here again.

A Happy Christmas at Seahorse!!

Really enjoyed our stay at the lovely Seahorse Cottage. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood: walkable, but also appreciated from the porch swing seat. Well equipped, with a surprisingly large screened-in porch and backyard. Delightful!

Fun Trip

Cute house in an older established beautiful neighborhood. Perfect distance from the downtown area, not far but not right on top of downtown either. Small, cozy, house with a fenced yard for our dog which was great. We were on the go a lot , so house size was adequate for 2 adults. Everything was great except the management fees from the rental company I thought were outrageous

Absolutely loved it!

We stayed from the 2nd week in January to February 29th. The home was “home” and everything was clean but more attention is needed on the baseboards and kitchen cabinets. Other than these items, we absolutely loved it. The yard and porches were perfect and the location was amazing. We could not have enjoyed our stay more.

St. Augustine Trip

This was a nice place. Located in a quiet neighborhood, however, houses are very close together. Very close to attractiions. If you are traveling with your dog fur babies, great fenced in back yard. My only complaint, when we first walked in there were 2 dead roaches on kitchen floor. I did not see any alive though so that was good!

Response from VrboOwner on 25 May 2024
We are glad you enjoyed your stay, but we are sorry you found any dead critters. The house has routine pest control, and it was treated just before your arrival. The house has a spacious yard for a house in historic St Augustine. We are pleased you liked this great cottage!

Achy bodies

After 2 nights, both of us had sore achy bodies. It had to be the beds. Still had 2 nights to go. On the last evening, the temps dropped, the heater was running all night with the temp set on 68, when my feet hit the floor the next morning, the floors were cold.

Thank you for your feedback. We haven't received any previous comments about the beds; perhaps they were just different from what you're accustomed to. The heater is fully functional, and the floors can feel cool if it's cold outside. If you visit again in the winter, we recommend bringing slippers! :)

dog friendly fenced backyard and screened porch

We stayed with our dog so it was nice to have fenced in backyard and screened in porch with seating to be out with her. The little time we spent at the rental, we were limited on space. It would have been nice to have better options to store our suitcase on like a bench in the closet instead the kitchen chairs moved into the bedroom. The outdoor wicker living room chair is not comfortable and the foot pouf is not supportive - it falls flat when slight pressure is put on it. Maybe a coffee table or sturdier ottoman would be better or even a sectional with a larger ottoman instead of the small loveseat and outdoor wicker chair with pouf. I really don’t know how seating would even work if you were at capacity for the rental especially during the cooler winter months.

Thank you for your review! We’re delighted that you and your dog enjoyed the fenced yard. While the cottage may not be large, it is the ideal size for up to five guests. This property is perfect for enjoying a vacation or a getaway in historic St. Augustine!

Not clean Bugs & very nasty

I was shocked when we arrive, unloaded the car and sat at the table. There were white/yellow worms and clear wings all over the table & counters. It gave me creepy felling of filth! The place was not manicured outside the way the pictures showed. It looks liked like it hadn’t been cleaned outside in many weeks. The inside left allot to be decided also. I called the rental agency & Dora able to move us to a beautiful place at no extra costs. Thank you Dora!! Sure hope Marty learns a lesson. He was Lao very nasty when I called him several days before our check in
