What a beautiful home to stay in while visiting St. Augustine.  The house was comfortable, private, and quiet.  The views, especially the sunsets, were stunning.  The location was great.  You can walk to the Historic District (15 minutes) for the sites, shopping, and restaurants.  There are also a few very good restaurants much closer to the house.  Overall, we would stay here again if we return to St. Augustine.

Great views!

Lovely setting overlooking the river and natural habitats. Downtown is too far to walk, but easily within bicycle distance.

The villa was beautifully decorated as pictured, cozy and welcoming. The view from backyard was lovely. Wished I could’ve stayed longer than what I booked. Host was responsive which is a huge plus. Highly recommend
