A Quiet Spot

There were three of us and we all found the place clean, quiet and mostly comfortable. I have a few notes for the owner though. 1. Bathtub is slippery, with no grab bar, so I’d recommend putting down some kind of non-slip stickers on the tub floor. 2. In the smaller bedroom some kind of light by the bed would be helpful. Because the house has limited electrical outlets, maybe something cordless would work? 3. Also in the smaller bedroom, since there’s no closet I’d suggest putting a rack on the back of the door. 4. This one’s petty, but keeping a few beach towels around would be helpful for out of town visitors who want to go to the beach. All in all though, we were happy with the place.

Great space!

We visited Saint Augustine for a night to celebrate my daughter‘s 10th birthday. The home was very lovely & comfortable. Tammy was so helpful and great with communication. The beds were comfortable and delightful after a long day of running around. The location was great for getting to our desired destinations. We can’t wait to go back and stay again. Thank you Tammy!

Girl getaway

This home is adorable and the outside area is perfect although it was too cold the weekend we were there to enjoy it and have a fire in the fire pit. Although you do have to drive into town, it’s definitely not walking distance.

Quiet

The visit was quiet. The beds were comfortable. Only one area that was noticible in the living room there were droppings, the front door lock needs to be reprogrammed. Everything else was fine.

Fun and comfortable weekend stay.

The house location is super close to the main Hwy we’re lots of restaurants, CVS, Walmart are. Adorable house. Was perfect for us 3 adults. It’s decorated very pretty. The kitchen area is very large. Beds were very comfortable. Only complain we had was the 2 wicker chairs in living room, the sitting area springs are shot, so when you sit you sink in and it’s extremely hard to get out of the chairs. Both of them. Other than that we absolutely loved this house. 10 thumbs up!

St Augustine

The house was very cute older style in a nice established neighborhood. The mattress are worn to the point they need replaced. Limited linens available. Stained towels and bed sheets the most minimal kitchen utensils. The washer didn't work. Notified the owner she suggested that a light load. The water would run in but didn't agitate. But the worst was 2 family members died f I'm a tornado and I asked to cancel under the circumstances. But the owner asked for proof of death certificate..I own 2 vacation homes and would never ask of such a thing. Our family situation was all over the national news. We only stayed over night since we arrived late. Went to local hotel for the rest of our stay. VERY disappointed. St Augustine was amazing though.
