Just off the living room, the all-season sunroom offers a cozy spot to unwind, complete with a sofa and TV. Down the hallway, you’ll find a full guest bathroom with a tub and shower combination, a laundry area, and two bedrooms. Both guest bedrooms are furnished with queen beds. The primary bedroom includes a spacious ensuite bathroom with double sinks and a walk-in shower.

Outside, the covered deck overlooks the wooded property and protected wetlands, making it a great place to enjoy morning coffee or watch local wildlife. Guests can also walk toward the creek at the back of the property. With a large driveway and plenty of space to spread out, Among the Oaks is ideal for guests looking for a quiet, rural stay close to everything St. Augustine has to offer.

The thing we weren’t crazy about was the lack of amenities we’ve had at other vrbos, e.g., coffee for the coffee maker, salt and pepper, olive oil so we didn’t have to bring every little thing. There were no dish scrubbies or cloths, no hair dryer (even cheap motels have that). Our last 2 vrbos welcomed us with a bottle of wine. There wasn’t a guest book either which we enjoy looking at to see what experiences the other guests enjoyed. Because of all that, the place felt sort of cold and barren, not as welcoming as other places.

Great little home in the woods!

Nice, clean and convenient place to stay! We visited family in St. Augustine for Christmas, and found this place easy to access - especially with all of the holiday madness in the area! The house has a nice layout with ample living area space, the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed and the mattresses were extremely comfortable - I regret not looking to see who made them! Bonus: The host - Marty - was responsive and timely!In short we had zero issues staying here, and will consider it again for future visits. We highly recommend its more secluded setting, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others staying in the region. Thanks again Marty!
