About this property

Walking distance to Historic Downtown and Attractions

Our romantic "Safe Haven" is compact upscale living in a two-story carriage house located 3 blocks from St George St and steps from shopping and dining! Private garden in the back and a shared garden and patio out front. Also Safe Haven House offers a private balcony! Queen bed & shower upstairs in bedroom, basic kitchen essentials (no spices) , laundry, sitting area & TV downstairs. FREE Private and Street parking.

We are available to answer questions between 8 am until 11 pm EDT, please email/app messaging or text us your questions--thanks!


A note on ambiance: It is a quiet neighborhood albeit connected to a very busy tourist town. You will hear people, cars, the cannon fire at the fort, church chimes and the occasional trolley in the daytime. This includes the Firestone during their regular hours.
*Off street parking is provided for one small to mid sized vehicle. Full sized trucks and SUVs will have to use free public on street parking.
PARKING NOTE: There is only one onsite parking available, but ample free street parking. You may have to walk around the corner or down the street to the suite, so if you are not mobile or have multiple vehicles this needs to be considered prior to booking.



Enter through private gate next main house and walk through a shared garden to get to the glass doors (the carriage house).
Please park in front of the private blue gate. Other vehicles can park after the stop sign on Locust without yellow curbs.

The Safe Haven House lives behind our Hide-Out property (The main house) and is very private. Originally the carriage house for the property, it was renovated by the previous owners into a painting studio & apartment. One private parking available in front of private gate and free street parking available after stop sign when turning onto property street.
Downstairs sitting area with full kitchen and lovely decor. Upstairs is the queen bed with en suite bath: shower and sink are separated from the bedroom by a curtain; the toilet is behind in its own closed room. We love this space for the light and artistic romance of it; one of its most delightful aspects is the access to the outdoors. Step out the back door and you will find yourself in a very serene, very private walled garden. Have your morning coffee on the upstairs deck that overlooks the shared garden or toast and cereal in the private garden with gorgeous angles of sunlight in the early morning. Take a walk a couple blocks east and you are on the intracoastal waterway. Life is cozy and relaxed here.

Good for solo or couples

Location is excellent. The checkout time could be an hour later. Also the people in charge of accommodation and contact could be a little more responsive. Like letting us know how to turn on backyard lights and when they told us they would give us more toilet paper, actually do it. We had to buy our own toilet paper. That could’ve been better.

Short walk to downtown.

The upstairs bedroom has a nice balcony with table and chairs. Locust is right on San Marco which is a short walk to downtown. I recommend it for a couple looking to experience St Augustine.

Looks Better Online

It was fine for a 1 night stay, but there were no washcloths, the hair conditioner was empty, no kitchen towels, and both courtyards needed TLC. Mosquitoes were terrible because of standing water in a non-funtioning water fountain.Hsharedccourtyard.

Great location!

This place is small but worked out nicely for me and my partner. It’s in an excellent location, walking distance from everything. Only downside is that there are lots of creepy crawlies that try to get in, this neighborhood is heavy on mosquitoes 😅

Great St. Augustine Old Town District Location

This was a really nice and unique carriage house. Wasnt large but had everything and was really comfortable for the size. In a less than 5 minute walk to the Old Town district its perfectly located. I would highly recommend staying here and I look for to our next visit to St. Augustine and plan to stay here again.

Romantic get away

My husband and I enjoyed spending a few nights at Safe Haven. It was adorable and cozy. It’s so close to historic St. Augustine and has restaurants and coffee shops just around the corner. The host was so helpful in planning our getaway as she provided an online guidebook ahead of the trip. We hope to come back soon!
