A very comfortable stay in St Augustine
We had a very nice stay here. The home is in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to every where we wanted to go. Beds were large and comfortable, kitchen was well stocked, everything was in working order and the living room was cozy. There was a little snafu when we arrived and two of the beds had not been made up, though it was past check-in time. I phoned our hostess who quickly came over and remedied the situation. I would definitely recommend this home. The only drawback is that there is just one bathroom. It was not an issue for the 3 of us, but might be for a larger group.

Overall just fine.
The location of this property is pretty convenient for the St. Augustine experience. Although right next to a bar the neighborhood was very quiet. The house is older and you can tell during your stay. However, there was a large amount of ants in the bathroom and the kitchen. For me it was not a big deal but for my wife it wasn’t her favorite. I think for my short stay it was just fine for the price.

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!

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.

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!
