Everything was excellent. Clean house and great location. We had issues getting into the property. The door lock failed due to low battery. We were unable to get in touch with host for several hours. We almost had to cancel the reservation per the VRBO representative. Once we were able to speak to the host the issue was resolved.
The location of the property was great being so close to the St. Augustine historic area. Beautiful renovated house, very clean where tranquility reigns. My whole family really enjoyed the bedrooms, the living room and especially having a good coffee on the porch. Thanks to the owners specifically Claire that provided us all we needed to enjoy our stay to the fullest! Merci Daniel (Montreal)
House was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. Nice, quiet neighborhood. Good walk to St George Street. Everything that we needed was in the house. Owner thought of everything. Beds were great. We enjoyed having coffee on the screen porch. I highly recommend this property.
We were particularly excited about the location to be able to walk around. It ended up raining most of the time, so it was especially nice to have a big and comfortable place to hang with a screened in porch!
Our host was communicative and timely!
We had a great time and would recommend. Thanks!
Perfect place to stay...we parked the car and did not use it again until we left. You can walk a few blocks and enjoy all the restaurants, stores and historic buildings downtown St. Augustine has to offer. Wonderful porch to sit and look at the lake and sip a glass of wine. We brought our bikes and rode to the beach. Claire was great and the home was very clean and tastefully decorated. This was my second time staying here and plan on visiting again.
Lincolnville & Lake Walk, Walk to Town, Clean and Comfortable
The house is wonderful. Beautiful, light and airy decor and renovation to an older, quaint cottage. Location terrific. Walkability was a huge highlight for us. Walkable for a nice neighborhood dog walk or stroll, a walk around the lake, or a walk into town. Enjoyed sneaking glances of the lake from a large soaking tub. House clean and comfortable. Responsive hosts. Highly recommend.
We live in south FL and spent Thanksgiving with family in Jacksonville. Decided to stay in St Augustine to enjoy the Light the Night and other holiday events going on. The house was close enough to town center that we could have walked but we decided to drive instead. The home was quaint, nicely decorated, modern features and a covered patio on the lake which made it ideal for morning coffee. I highly recommend. The Hose, Claire, was very responsive.
From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the tranquil beauty of the surroundings. The pristine white and blue accents of the home perfectly complemented the natural beauty of the lake, which sparkled in the sun.
The attention to detail in the decor was impeccable, with every corner of the home exuding a sense of comfort and style. Whether we were lounging in the coziness of the living area or unwinding in one of the three beautifully decorated bedrooms, we felt completely at ease.
Beautiful kitchen if you desire to cook and the location was convenient to town. Worth the stay.
This home was lovely. Listing does not include enough about how wonderful the lakefront is. Great screened porch fronting on a walking lane (no cars) and then beautiful lake with many interesting birds. We visited during night of lights, and had the fun of horse drawn carriages traveling by on the other side of the lake. Home is old but recently and completely upgraded. Best stocked home we have rented. Only drawbacks were check in process - info was not provided until time of check in, leaving me nervous until we actually got in, and many neighborhood signs posted saying “homes not hotels” on this street - not very neighborly. We specifically wanted a home not a hotel, so hard to guess what they hope to accomplish with unfriendly signs. We had a great stay overall and would return to this cozy, clean home.
This is a beautiful, well appointed, well stocked vacation home. The location is excellent. The hosts are very responsive and have given so much attention to detail. One of the best vrbo experiences, we have had. I will definitely stay here again as St. Augustine has so much to enjoy.
The house was a great choice for our long weekend stay in St. Augustine. It was clean and very nicely decorated…well suited for my 2 adult daughters and myself traveling for a “big” birthday celebration. The location could not have been better to walk to most of the places in the area. Having our morning coffee on the porch overlooking the lake watching all the birds was a perfect way to start our day!
Home is beautiful. Walking distance to everything. Just disappointed we didn’t have a Xmas tree. Claude was suppose to bring one Not sure what happened
Beautiful property, great location! A lot of really nice touches! Just two things- first, the keypad lock on front door did not work so we had to carry around a key all weekend. Plus the door would beep incessantly if it was not locked. Second, we were not told there was a hot tub and did notBring appropriate clothing. And when we bought something to wear and went in, the stench of chlorine was overpowering and harsh on our skin. Honestly, we did not feel safe because of all of the chemicals.
We visited St. Augustine over spring break. This is a wonderful 3 bedroom home right outside of St. Augustine's historic district. It is an easy walk to town, restaurants, and the waterfront, and a nice place to relax after sightseeing in the busier areas of town.
The house itself, is completely updated and beautifully decorated, yet very comfortable. We enjoyed eating our breakfast, and relaxing on the screened porch which overlooked a lake. We would love to return for a longer stay in the future!

DO NOT STAY HERE! IT FLOODS!!!
I checked into the property via the host and founds an older property but well maintained. The property appears attractive in the photos and is... until... it rains. The property is adjacent to a pond which has water flow from the Atlantic Ocean in St. Augustine and upon high tide (and even worse, with a full moon) floods the area surrounding the property limiting ingress and egress. I was not able to exit the property at high tide and access my vehicle. Even if you have an SUV, the water will come up to approx. 24 inches of your wheelbase upon rainfall. Please note that there was not a storm during my visit. I stayed one night and sent photos to the owner who apologize and claimed she (Claire) was not aware of the issue (I simply don't believe this as I asked a couple of neighbors who live nearby and they said it happens all of the time to the property). I had to move properties and requested a refund minus a cleaning fee. I received two nights of my three night stay as a refund, without taxes or fees paid, which was less than 40% of my stay. I strongly suggest you do not book this property. Vrbo should not allow this property to be booked through their system.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The property was clean and well maintained. Would definitely recommend this property. Just FYI, a couple of the doors would not close and lock; just some minor adjustments should fix the problem.
