This little hideaway was perfect. My wife and I enjoyed our solitude, but we were still so close to the historic downtown area. It had all of the amenities we could need. Parking was well marked which we’ve had issues with other VRBO’s. Decorating with their own artwork was a great touch. Thank you so much for helping us have a great anniversary getaway. Would definitely recommend this place!!

The Harbor Island apartment we stayed in perfectly met our needs for a brief getaway to the Florida coast! We liked being slightly off the beaten path away from the downtown area, yet could get everywhere we wanted to visit within a few minute car ride or a lovely longer walk. Apartment was clean, comfortable, and Michael and Hyacinth were extremely responsive to all of our questions. Thank you!!!

It was amazing! Perfect location and the place was very clean. Mike and Hyacinth are artists and have their beautiful paintings on the walls. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the mornings with coffee and watching the sun set with a glass of wine in the evenings. Will definitely be back!

The apartment was perfect for our girls family getaway. Loved the artwork painted by the owners. There were 3 of us and although you could fit 4 since the pullout was a double, I thought it was great for 3 people. Kitchen was well-stocked and beach towels and chairs were provided. The screened in porch was an added bonus, as were the washer and dryer. We could not have asked for a better location within walking distance of the historic area, great restaurants, San Sebastian winery and the Distillery. Short drive to the beach. It was absolutely perfect and I would highly recommend staying here.

Exactly What We Needed
Property was exactly as described! This is a quaint getaway with personality. Very comfortable and well furnished. It is a pleasure to come back to after a day out. Very reasonably pricing, clean, and the screened in porch is a great morning spot. Check-in was a breeze lock and code system worked perfectly every time. No key needed. Location is convenient, and the beach is a short drive with sites along the way. Owners provided helpful information and communications were warm and friendly. I would stay here again.

Super cozy, classy home close to The Old City.
My wife and I came to St. Augustine for a long weekend and celebrate our anniversary. We we very impressed with the location and the beautiful views overlooking the river marsh out back ( With a grill also)! The effeciency was clean and even had nice paintings inside. We even had a bottle of wine waiting for us! The owners have done a wonderful job with the place. Walking the streets, exploring and dining is what we did. Everthing was close. We would come back here again for sure.
