Charming and perfect.

Two couples on a short 4 night getaway. This place was perfect. Very clean, super charming and the location could not be better. Walk to everything the Old Town has to offer. Very eclectic with wonderful fun artwork and furnishings. David, the owner could not have been more helpful and kind. Happy to answer questions and make recommendations, which were all great ones. It’s a lovely place, perfect for our needs. And don’t forget about the enclosed garden. So lush with a water feature, beautiful plants and trees. Excellent spot for Al fresco dining or a glass of wine at the end of the day. Highly recommend!!

Great location- perfect host

First, you couldn’t ask for a better host. Checked on us immediately at check in. Gave a great history of the property that made us appreciate it even more. Quick with recommendations for things to do and dining. Location was very convenient and within walking distance to many historic sites. Quiet and relaxing stay. We really enjoyed the side courtyard and patio. Highly recommend.

Perfect Place to Stay in St. Augustine!

We had a wonderful stay at Casa de Banta. It is a lovely home, and the location is perfect for getting to all the sites, restaurants, and entertainment downtown. The owners are wonderful and made sure we had a very comfortable stay. I highly recommend this home.

Five Star Property

David was an amazing host - very cordial and accommodating. The place itself was perfect. It's proximity to St. George Street served us well. It was only a 2 minute walk but what we enjoyed most was its quiet and secluded location. It was the best of both worlds. Highly recommend this place !
