A floor plan is provided in the photos of this listing. We encourage all guests to look this over prior to booking to get a feel for the home. We like to remind guests this home as built over 160 years ago! The character and charm makes it a bit different than the standard homes of today.



The home offers high speed wifi internet which allows for streaming services and multiple device connections during your stay.



In the living room, we offer a large flatscreen smart TV for your entertainment. All major streaming services are available to our guests so that they may log into their personal accounts during their stay. Please remember to log out prior to your check out



Guest Access:

Guests have full access to the home, yard and all amenities! While staying at the Beehive, we welcome you to make this house your home.



The Neighborhood:

Nestled in a quiet historic neighborhood, Oak Canopy Escape is surrounded by charming homes dating back more than 150 years. The beautiful oak canopy-lined streets make the area perfect for leisurely walks while taking in the character and history of St. Augustine. You’ll also be conveniently close to local shops, restaurants, and popular attractions.



We kindly ask all guests to be respectful of our neighbors and the peaceful nature of the community during their stay.



Getting Around:

Getting around town is very easy with many options available to our guests! With many downtown attractions being under two miles away from the Beehive bungalow, guests can walk, bike or drive to all destinations. A short two minute walk to the Old Jail will give you access to one of the main stations of the Old Town Trolley stations. This is a guest favorite as it provides transportation as well as a fun history lesson along the way! You are also a quick 5 minute drive to the amazing Vilano Beach which also allows vehicles to park directly on the sand!



Other Things to Note:

While we want all guests to feel right at home, we ask for your cooperation in a few areas.



1. Please do not lower the air conditioning below 68 degrees or raise the heat higher than 72 degrees. This will ensure our air conditioning system will maintain peak performance for all guests.



HEATED POOL DISCLAIMER

1. We may live in Sunny Florida but the pool still gets chilly sometimes! Pool heating is available upon request for an additional $40 per day. Please give us at least 48 hours notice so we can fire up the heater - it takes about 24 hours to reach that perfect temp.



2. Florida weather is amazing and unpredictable! Due to this, hosts cannot guarantee pool temperature. We will make every effort to maintain a temperate range of 78 degrees to 88 degrees. Guests must advise hosts 48 hours prior to arrival that they would like the pool to be heated! Please keep in mind, heating takes time so guest requests are very important!
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Check in was at 4pm, we arrived at 5pm and cleaners were still there. Apartment is very ruined, nothing compared to photos. There was dust everywhere.We booked this apartment mainly for the heated pool, but this has an extra cost that was not explained. We were charged extra 40 a day for the heated pool. The heating system did not work for two days during our stay, we were not even refunded a single dollar for this!!!I found a big dead rat in the back yard, maybe this is common in Florida but that didn’t thrill us.Not recommended!

Located in the perfect area! Walk or short drive to nearly everything! Trolley tour and old jail and old merchantile right on the corner. Pool was a big plus after a day of sight seeing! Grilled steaks one night and burgers another. Back porch was our hangout, loved the screened in porch and pool! Final night of our stay we enjoyed a nice fire in the fire ring. Nothing but good times!

Relaxing spot so close to everything

We were surprised how quiet this spot was considering how close it was to major tourist spots, the Old Town Trolley hub and the Fountain of Youth. After a long day of sightseeing, it was perfect to come back to a pool the kids could play in. The back porch is so relaxing to enjoy morning coffee and read. We loved walking around the corner each day to beautiful Magnolia Ave with the gorgeous trees draping over the road and peacocks everywhere!

Lovely older house

The house was located on a quaint tree lined street close to the fountain of youth. The bedrooms did not have TV. The water pressure in the second bathroom was low so everyone used the master shower. Plenty of space and overall good place to stay

This home is perfect. The location couldn't be better and the house had everything we needled

We went as a delayed Christmas with family. The location allowed us ti walk everywhere. The only negative was ir was too cold to enjoy the pool and patio area. We did have to get a Hulu account on order to watch a football game in rhe evening, the home doesn't offer much on the way of tv.

Saint Augustine vacay

Location was perfect. Downtown was walking distance and so was the fountain of youth. The property did appear to be larger in pics displayed on line but when we got there, it was smaller and we were 4 adults and a 2 year old child so we felt a bit crowded. Overall it was clean and the pool was a good thing since we had hot temperatures during our stay.

Very cute quaint older house. Pictures don't give accurate details of exactly how house actually is. Main bedroom bed is a little hard, and oddly set up. The pool was dirty with stuff coming thru the netting above, but that was understandable with all the rain and storms. The house could use a little better cleaning as when we got there one of the bathroom rugs was soaked and the counters hadn't been wiped and the silverware and knives were dirty.Overall, we enjoyed the house And it took care of our shelter needs while on vacation.

About the host

Hosted by Brittany Ferro

Host profile image

Meet Brittany and Lisa! We are a work hard play harder kind of family. We find any excuse to pack around bags and hit the road. Whether it be on the road in our RV or in the sky crossing oceans, we love a good escape. Travel and adventure are a big part of our world and believe the places you stay play such a big part in your overall adventure. As hosts, we strive to make your stay with us a great part of your overall vacation experience. We hope to exceed expectations each and every time!

Why they chose this property

This property stole our hearts when we first came across it. The first time we walked through the doors, there was such a strong sense of home. St. Augustine holds such a special place in our world, and this house gave up a small piece of it's history and its beauty. We were ecstatic to get it up and running as a short term rental to be able to share the magic of this home with others who were coming to explore the amazing St. Augustine!

What makes this property unique

This house not only provides you and your family a cozy place to call home during your stay, it also allows you to immerse yourself into a local piece of history while visiting America's oldest city. This home was built in 1860 ( Pre Civil War!). Located in the kitchen, guests will be able to see a hand painted picture that was completed by the original owners.

Within walking distance of your front door, you can take a quick 5 minute walk to the famous Fountain of Youth or the County's Old Jail ( Built in 1891). Interested in a tour trolley ride? The Old Jail is also a main pickup point!

Interested in some of the best antique shopping or amazing restaurants? All are within walking distance of the Beehive Bungalow! Historic St. George Street is within a mile of the home along with other great sites such as Flagler College, Castillo de San Marcos National Monument as well as stunning historic churches!
