We loved our stay at this property! The house was perfect. It was well stocked with anything you need and we spent so much time as a family at the pool. We will definitely be back!
We had lovely stay! House was perfect. Loved the lake view and pool. Would definitely stay at this location again. We've been traveling to St Augustine over the last 5 years while our son attended Flagler College. We've stayed in many rentals and this was, by far, one of our favorites.
We had a wonderful stay. Property was beautiful and very close to Town center (about an 11 min brisk walk for me). Beach towels were even provided. Property was very clean, communication with host was very good. The best VRBO experience I’ve ever had.
Property was fantastic! Pool was a great size and house was set up perfect. It was a great location for viewing the 4th of July fireworks at the bay. Everything you need was onsite.
Amazingly well kept property in the perfect location of st Augustine. Very easy to walk anywhere you’d like in the historic city. Communication was super easy with the property owner and any questions we had were answered right away. Will certainly stay here again on our next trip down.
Great home, walking distance to downtown St Augustine
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect and between the walking distance to town and the lakefront view it's a terrific location.
We didn't get to use the pool because the air temp was a little cold this weekend. Looks nice.
Perfect host, location and home. We took family from England to Nights of Lights. We walked to town and met neighbors along the way. Our host called me regarding the back door electric lock and offered to come right out. Top notch
The property exceeded our expectations. From the location which was walking distance to downtown, the house was fully equipped to cook meals, it was beautifully furnished, the back deck to the lake view was amazing, and the host was very prompt in replying/accommodating us. I would highly recommend d this house & I’m sure we’ll be coming back soon!
This property fit are family perfectly, the pool in the back was very nice .The lake in the front was great , we fished in the mornings. We had dinners at various restaurants and they were all great and the service at awesome. We will definetly be back.....thank you
My husband and I stayed in this lovely house. It has a great pool and the front overlooks a lake. The porch in the front is gorgeous with beautiful chairs to relax in. A great place for your morning coffee or eve glass of wine. The only drawback is the surrounding neighborhood. Some beautiful houses and some very old and in need of repair. Overall it was fine. Very convenient to St Augustine city center..
Stayed here for our honeymoon and the house was perfect! So close to Old Town which was exactly what we wanted. We will definitely be returning on future trips.Thank you for a wonderful stay!
I’ve been coming to St. Augustine for the past 25 years, and this home sits in the ideal historic location right beside my favorite part of the old city. The home is big sleeps 6-8 comfortably. It has nice amenities. Enjoy the deck!
The house was absolutely perfect. We loved the pool, the beautiful deck on the lake, and the close proximity to downtown activities. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel at home. I would recommend this place to anyone!
