Very nice updated home in a great location. Close to historic St. Augustine and Vilano Beach. Kitchen was well equipped and the bedrooms were very nice. Being a pet-friendly VRBO made it a real winner for us. Would certainly stay again.

This 2/1 was everything we needed. From the adorable decor to the fenced in backyard for our pups to the 19-minute walk to the downtown St. Augustine area, it was perfect and comfortable. There is a little coffee shop right down the street, literally 450 feet from the front door, that I walked to every morning. The Fountain of Youth is 700 feet away. Great spot that made the last stretch of our trip enjoyable. Highly recommend.

Sometimes it’s easy to criticize certain things about staying in someone’s home. This property is very close to being perfect. If anything you could say the beds are a little small but they were still comfortable which isn’t the case in many places. Experienced very quick communication with Justin regarding checking in 3 hours early which wasn’t a problem as home was ready for us.

From the moment, we pulled in the driveway, we fell in love with the house and neighborhood. Inside, the house is spotless and adorable with comfortable beds and chairs. Neighborhood is quiet and you are very close to downtown. There are 2 chairs on the front porch and a lovely fenced yard out back through the screened porch. Communication with the host was excellent, incredibly quick and I sincerely felt he wanted to be sure we had a wonderful experience- which we did! We look forward to visiting again.

Close to everything but quiet and comfy

Enjoyed our couple's stay! Would've liked a TV in the second bedroom but that was a minor detail. Owner was quick to answer questions. Quaint and homey special attention to detail.
