Great place!

We really enjoyed our time at this place. The lake view looking out of the front windows is beautiful. It was really nice to walk downtown and also around the lake. We enjoyed the pool in the early evenings. The property was very clean and very nice. Beds were comfortable. We would definitely stay here again. Our week went by too fast.

We loved it! The house was Super nice. Would have given it a 5 star but just a little disappointed in the pool. The pump never came on!! Just didnt seem real clean. I have a pool and my pump comes on at 8:30 and stays on until 7:30pm. And we did not witness this pumpcome on at all. And sometimes we were until 1 am. But other than that it was very nice.

Beautiful property

We had a wonderful stay. Property was beautiful and very close to Town center (about an 11 min brisk walk for me). Beach towels were even provided. Property was very clean, communication with host was very good. The best VRBO experience I’ve ever had.

Great home, walking distance to downtown St Augustine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect and between the walking distance to town and the lakefront view it's a terrific location. We didn't get to use the pool because the air temp was a little cold this weekend. Looks nice.

Beautiful house close to St Augustine

My husband and I stayed in this lovely house. It has a great pool and the front overlooks a lake. The porch in the front is gorgeous with beautiful chairs to relax in. A great place for your morning coffee or eve glass of wine. The only drawback is the surrounding neighborhood. Some beautiful houses and some very old and in need of repair. Overall it was fine. Very convenient to St Augustine city center..
