An absolutely wonderful stay. It's the perfect place to rest, recoup, spend some quality family time, and within a few miles from all the attractions (and plenty of great food!). The property is clean and well-maintained, the host communicates all intructions well and is quick to reply to any questions, and (should you want to cook) the kitchen has everything you may need.We will definitely be coming back to the Peaceful Puffin on our next trip to St. Augustine!

Loved this house

We stayed as a family of 5 and had plenty of room and were very comfortable. The house was clean and very up to date. The location is wonderful-just a few minutes to historic district or the beach. We loved Vilano beach the most. The neighborhood the house is in was quiet and peaceful.

Covenient to Historical Center of St Augustine

There were 5 women and we had plenty of room to sleep, eat, and relax. Very clean and new. The Puffin had everything you would need for basic cooking to include a crockpot. The Coffee maker was a Nespresso so you need to purchase those specific pods or bring your own coffee maker which we did. We asked for the hot water heater to be turned up and it was. Owner was responsive. We did have to purchase toilet tissue as only a few rolls are supplied. Representation in the pictures and language was spot on. We would stay here again.coffee machine is a Nespresso machine

My husband, teen, and I stayed at this property for 5 nights this past week. The house is very cute - clean, bright, and nicely decorated and furnished. The location is in an economically diverse area, which is fine, but we did have a situation the first couple of nights and police were called (not by us). No break-ins to our car or the house, but just inappropriate behavior happening from what we could tell. We paid to heat the pool, and the pool temperature was perfect. It was hard to get the spa heated to the desired temperature of 104, even if we switched the heat several hours prior. The main bedroom shower, although aesthetically pleasing, had really bad water pressure. I had a hard time getting my hair washed and rinsed, and I struggled to keep it at a consistent temperature. It was either VERY hot or really cold after just a few minutes. The house was well stocked with everything we needed. I do wish there were beach chairs and towels provided, since we flew in. Very cute, clean house, though!

AMAZING

My husband and I visit St. Augustine four or five times a year as our grandson lives in Jacksonville and we live in South Florida. We rent a place every time we visit. This was by far the best we have ever stayed in. It is exactly as described in the listing, new, clean, comfortable, everything you would need for a weekend, week or month. The location is only minutes away from the historical downtown, the beach area, restaurants and stores. We will stay there every time we go back if it's available. The hosts were communicative and informative. We arrived a little early and they let us in before the 4pm check in time. We absolutely loved the home. I could go on and on but I think this says enough. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

Great modern and clean house

Our family of five plus our dog loved staying here! It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed in a home away from home. The kitchen had nice appliances and was well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. We cooked most of our meals at the home during our one week stay and had everything we needed. The house is tastefully decorated with a modern esthetic and comfortable furniture. There was room for at least 2 cars in the gravel driveway. It has similar homes on each side and has a private unfinished backyard with an 8 ft fence. The neighborhood is transitional and a bit out of historic St. Augustine, so we drove everywhere, but everything is very close- all the sights, shopping, restaurants, etc. We would definitely stay at this property again. Also, the property managers were great with communication.

This was a beautiful property, and the outdoor space was absolutely amazing. The home was very clean, comfortable, and well-maintained. The host was friendly, responsive, and quick to answer any questions we had throughout our stay.A couple of the issues we encountered were partially due to my own oversight. I did not realize until after booking that there was an additional fee to heat the hot tub, but that information was included in the property details, and the host promptly sent me the terms when I asked.Upon arrival, we were informed that the property manager would be stopping by to skim the pool. She informed us while she was there that the pool service would be there the next day, but they actually arrived two days later. In addition, the lawn care crew came the morning after we arrived to mow and blow leaves. While we understand that routine maintenance is necessary, it would have been helpful to have a schedule of these visits ahead of time. When the pool technician came to clean and refill the pool while we were out, we weren't notified, so we were unsure whether the pool had been treated and if it was safe to use immediately afterward.*One small improvement would be to provide basic amenities such as hand soap in the bathrooms. *Overall, this was an outstanding property, and we truly enjoyed our stay. The beautiful home, incredible outdoor space, cleanliness, and excellent communication from the host far outweighed the minor inconveniences.
