The host responded immediately to my messages. The home is so cozy! The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. We had no issues at all. Enjoyed relaxing on the front porch in the rocking chairs after a day of touring the beautiful city. Trolly stops are within walking distance. We could not have enjoyed our stay more!! The house is absolutely charming!!

We are so pleased with the whole experience! The house is even more beautiful, comfortable and cleaner than pictured in the app. The location is perfect, walkable to all the historic attractions and so close to Vilano Beach (which is a gorgeous destination as well)The house has brand new beach gear as well! The laundry room was stocked with laundry detergent and the bathroom had the best hair dryer. We loved St Augustine and we are definitely coming back to this beautiful place

Very nice updated home in a great location. Close to historic St. Augustine and Vilano Beach. Kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were very nice. Being a pet-friendly VRBO made it a real winner for us. Would certainly stay again.

This house was awesome!!! It was very clean, well equipped, the kitchen has a ton of counter space and has everything you need to be right at home. Having a washer and dryer was a plus so we didn't have to take home alot of laundry. Loved everything about the house, and a quiet back deck to sit and relax. The house is on a quiet dirt road within walking distance to the Fountain of Youth and Fountain of Juice ( which has amazing fresh fruit smoothies!) amoung other drinks. We had an absolutely wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again if we get back down to this area!!!!!!

This 2/1 was everything we needed. From the adorable decor to the fenced in backyard for our pups to the 19-minute walk to the downtown St. Augustine area, it was perfect and comfortable. There is a little coffee shop right down the street, literally 450 feet from the front door, that I walked to every morning. The Fountain of Youth is 700 feet away. Great spot that made the last stretch of our trip enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Sometimes it’s easy to criticize certain things about staying in someone’s home. This property is very close to being perfect. If anything you could say the beds are a little small but they were still comfortable which isn’t the case in many places. Experienced very quick communication with Justin regarding checking in 3 hours early which wasn’t a problem as home was ready for us.
