This was an absolutely beautiful home, decorated for the holidays which was wonderful. Fully fenced backyard which was perfect for our dog. Location was perfect, close proximity to everything in town. The host had thought of everything, even having a box in the bathroom with items that you may have forgotten to pack! The communication with the host was excellent and we even had a nice surprise gift waiting for us on arrival, so thoughtful! Will definitely return on our next visit to St. Augustine.
