Lovely lakehouse and highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway that’s close enough to town to walk there if desired. My mom, brother and I really felt at home here and enjoyed our stay. The views of the lake and local wildlife were amazing !
The house was perfect for our stay. It truly has anything that you could ever need, including beach gear, kitchen wear, and all the other creature comforts of home. Super short, walk to downtown, which was a big plus for us.
The home and property is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The location on the lake is spectacular. We were so close to St. George Street, Flagler College, and many things to do. The host was very responsive to our questions and attentive. We had a wonderful time and would live to stay again!
The listing was exactly as described. Beautiful, clean and well stocked with kitchen, pool and beach amenities including beach chairs. We enjoyed the pool, walks into town and around the lake. The hosts were extremely reaponsive to even minor requests. We're planning to return.
Stayed here for our honeymoon and the house was perfect! So close to Old Town which was exactly what we wanted. We will definitely be returning on future trips.Thank you for a wonderful stay!
I’ve been coming to St. Augustine for the past 25 years, and this home sits in the ideal historic location right beside my favorite part of the old city. The home is big sleeps 6-8 comfortably. It has nice amenities. Enjoy the deck!
The house was absolutely perfect. We loved the pool, the beautiful deck on the lake, and the close proximity to downtown activities. The hosts were very communicative and made us feel at home. I would recommend this place to anyone!
Enjoyed our stay immensely. The home was well appointed with everything you could possibly need even including beach chairs and towles, an ice cream machine ect...The property was so nice many times we chose to hang out there as opposed to going out on a tour or event.Would 100% recommend this property and host.
