A wonderful getaway

The accommodations were perfect for us and our dogs. Being able to have the back yard to ourselves made it very easy to let our "girls" come in and out as needed. Location right across from the beach was easy access and we had some of the Best tacos from Taco Shop right on the corner, so good we had them both nights :-)

We didn't want to leave!

We absolutely loved the 1st Street Retreat and can't wait to go back! Lisa (the property owner) is so friendly and treated us wonderfully! We (including our dogs) loved the private back yard and proximity to the beach. Everything was lovely and we highly recommend the 1st Street Retreat.

Birthday Beach Trip

Location couldn't be better... Such a short walk to the beach, which is exactly what I was looking for! Also very close to many restaurants and bars for quick drinks and eats! The dogs truly loved the fenced in backyard and grass area. The simple kitchen was well stocked and the grill outside made cooking our own meals super easy! Communication with Lisa was easy and quick! Thank you for maintaining this adorable pet friendly beach house, it truly made my birthday trip that much more memorable!!

This place is just perfect! Perfect size, perfect location, perfect backyard to hangout in. I loved this place. I have a 17yr old dog that I can’t leave anywhere anymore. She did perfect in this place. We loved the space, how easy and close it was to the beach. Taco spot across the street-delicious!!! BBQ and bar, good and convenient, coffee all in walking distance. It was a perfect place to relax and rest. Thank you Lisa

Exceptional stay

This was our 3rd stay at this location. Lisa and Tony are excellent hosts. We normally come down for the Christmas lights downtown St. Augustine and do some shopping. It’s a 3 minute walk to the beach and a 30 second walk to the best burrito shop on the island. It is definitely pet friendly - we have a blind dachshund that easily adapted to both inside and outside areas. The outside patio area is totally fenced in with a grassy area for our puppy. We have nothing but good things to say about the hosts and our stay. We plan on returning.

Perfect Little Studio

I put “little” in the title but this studio feels big! Everything has been included to make your stay comfortable and uncomplicated. The bed is very good and the shower is fantastic…two really important things in my opinion. If you’re traveling with your pups, the fenced in back is great for them and also great for you. Lisa and Tony are easy to work with and respond quickly to any question or concern. I look forward to staying with them again in any one of their rentals.

Super clean. Fabulous, spacious studio. Fully stocked with everything you would need and more. Fenced in yard with grassy area for the pup. Beautiful large patio with grill and firepit. Right across the street from the beach and very close to some great little restaurants, burrito works being our favorite! Easy little ride to downtown st augustine. Lisa and Tony fabulous hosts, very helpful and non intrusive. If you are bringing a pup don't look any farther than 1st St retreat. Every one will be happy!

We had a very nice time in St Augustine staying in this exceptional studio apartment. It was very private with a fenced yard for our dogs. Everything you could imagine was provided, other than food. My wife liked the frying pans so much she ordered a set as soon as we got home. Plenty of places to eat within walking distance and the beach was just across the street. The only negative thing I can think of was having to leave. Thanks for having us!
