The property was lovely. Plenty of space rooms were clean and so was the kitchen. The decor was beautiful. We had a small issue with the air conditioning unit not working, but the owner & property manager was very accommodating. I would definitely return in the future.

These guys have this short term stay thing figured out. Great communication the entire stay with Lynn. Place was decorated perfectly, stocked great. The only real downside is the parking ramp height. That thing is steep and awkwardly angled so that our minivan would scrape every time in and out of the property. Light scrapes but scrapes nonetheless. Still worth five stars though. Thank you Lynn and team!

Our experience was terrific! The cottage is beautifully and tastefully decorated and immaculately clean. Living room couches super comfortable and plenty of room for the four of us. Kitchen fully equipped although we didn't have a need to cook much. Lynn (our contact) regularly checked in with us and promptly responded to any questions we had. Front porch with four rocking chairs were great for an afternoon cocktail and chat! Cudos to the owners and Lynn for providing us with a great experience while in St. Augustine for a family wedding.

It was immaculate and had everything we needed and more. The space was great for our family of 6. It was peaceful during our stay. The family enjoyed the open space in the living area. The kids were thrown off by the rooster in the morning, but it was distant, and they were awake when they heard the rooster. Lol. We are adding this location as one of our future destination stays.
