About this property

Downtown Hideaway, studio accommodations, in the heart of the Historic District

A little bit about the unit itself and our location . . .
The main house is a renovated Victorian circa 1880. This studio is a rear unit with a private entrance, queen bed, central air/heat, WiFi, cable TV and a kitchen with a full-size fridge, microwave and Keurig coffee maker. It is strictly a 2-person venue, there being no room for a rollaway bed. Small babies in a sleeper can be accommodated. The bathroom has a large step-in shower and there's a workstation/makeup table for your convenience. The location is super central two blocks from the bayfront and steps from the Flagler College Campus. Wedding venues are all close by and accessible in minutes. The best restaurants in town are minutes away as well on foot. For trips beyond, bikes are parked outside your door ready to explore wider horizons. Free parking with open entry/exit privileges is a few blocks away at the Municipal Garage, at 1 Cordova. Reasonable paid parking is 61 Cordova, almost adjacent to the Hideaway. It is most convenient for late arrivals. You can drive in and to the rear, where you will be fronting Spanish Street. Leave a note on the dash, something like: "Staying at 78 Spanish. Will pay by 8:30 tomorrow."
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The location is excellent! However, the parking is a PITA. We couldn't connect to the internet. Ran out of paper towels and cloth towels (bath and kitchen) are limited. Overall this location and stay is well worth it. The host was quick to respond and the room is clean but could use a little more attention to corners for harmless critters coming in from the cold that couldn't find their way out. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to others!

The kitchen is small, however it has everything one could need including coffee pods and dish soap wine glasses etc. The convienence was terrific. We parked in the garage and never used the car again until we left. St. George st and most of the hi-visited places are close by. We would stay there again.

Joe's property was the perfect spot for our weekend stay for a wedding in downtown St. Augustine. The studio is small, but it has everything you need for a comfortable stay, including beach chairs and a cooler. The studio was very clean, which is always the most important to me. The location can't be beat! Walk out the door and you are right in the heart of downtown.

This property is in an excellent location to walk around the historic district. We parked our car and didn’t need it during our stay. We got the trolley pass for two days. It includes a bus to the beach. The host was extremely responsive. The room is as described. Small, but sufficient for our needs. We would rent it again.

About the host

Hosted by Joe Teisan

Host profile image
My family has lived in St Augustine since 1979. We bought our first Victorian on Grove Avenue and raised our kids there. We have watched the city grow from a quiet, sleepy little beach town to a still small and still friendly little city that has managed to preserve its heritage and multicultural diversity. We have lived in many cities around the world following jobs and dreams and we always manage to return to St Augustine. This is our home and we invite you to partake of our hospitality and the historic charm and natural wonders the city has to offer.

Why they chose this property

What we get in the reviews from people who have stayed here is very simple. Comfortable place to stay, attentive host and right in the middle of everything at a reasonable place--comfortable, convivial, convenient and affordable.

What makes this property unique

Park your car and forget it until you head back home.
