Darling place in St. Augustine

This place is cute, cute, cute. It's well-appointed with new furnishings and a cohesive look. The check-in and checkout process was easy and they left items that people often forget. Nice touches. While it is by a marina, it would be a challenge to walk there. It's sandwiched between two busy roads. We would recommend having a car if you choose to stay there as it's not really walkable to attractions. We enjoyed our stay.

Weekend Getaway!

This was a dual couple trip for us and the home was perfect. Bedrooms were on opposite sides of the home so neither had to worry about talking quietly or anything like that. Everything was clean and aesthetically pleasing, so many tiny sweet details really mattered from the items provided in the kitchen and bathroom to the laundry room. They really thought of EVERYTHING. This was the first time I went to a rental and was super satisfied with their accommodations. I will 100% book again.

Relaxing Retreat & Gracious Getaway

Encanto is a charming home decorated in a subtle tropical/cottage boho manner. The home felt spacious and was extremely comfortable for our family of 5 adults (all 17+), but there is also plenty of room in the backyard for little ones to play and release their energy. The location of this home is quite close to all primary destination activities in St. Augustine with each only being a 5-10 minute drive away, and the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed preparing our breakfast and supper meals at the home each day and even popped back during the day to take breaks or eat lunch because the location was so convenient. Would highly recommend this home for your next St. Augustine visit.

Everything you could want plus more!

Our stay at Encanto was wonderful! The house is very clean and has everthing you could possibly need plus more. Every time I thought of something I needed or wanted, I found it. The hosts truly thought of everything. Our family had never been to the area and I had a few questions regarding the area, things to do, etc. and the hosts were very helpful and easy to communicate with. They provided tons of information and even checked on us during our stay to make sure we had everything we needed.Plus the home was cozy and comfortable with even having Christmas decor and a Christmas tree, which was nice for our holiday stay. I highly recommend staying at Encanto!

About the host

Hosted by Lola & Jon

Host profile image
We’re a local young family who fell in love with St. Augustine during a magical Christmas Day vacation. That visit sparked a dream, and now we’re lucky to call this charming old city our home. Inspired by our travels, we’ve made it our mission to blend luxury with affordability by offering brand-new modern homes designed to be warm and welcoming spaces. We hope to share the magic of St. Augustine and help you make unforgettable memories.

Why they chose this property

Our neighborhood is a hidden gem, adorned with old oak trees draped in Spanish moss, creating a picturesque and tranquil setting. Just about a mile from historic downtown St. Augustine, it offers the perfect balance of convenience and quiet charm. What drew us in was the unique blend of history and modernity—homes that are over 100 years old sit alongside brand-new modern builds like ours. The neighborhood is also across from a marina, adding to the charm. You can easily cross the road to enjoy marina views, adventure to delicious food trucks, and watch breathtaking sunsets over Oyster Creek while occasionally seeing fish jump out of the water. This peaceful yet vibrant location is one we simply couldn’t pass up.

What makes this property unique

What makes Encanto stand out is its enchanting oasis vibe, blending boho tropical décor with a warm, welcoming ambiance. The home is thoughtfully designed both inside and out to offer everything you need for an stress-free vacation in comfort and style. The fully equipped kitchen makes preparing meals a delight, while beach essentials like towels, chairs, and an umbrella are provided for a carefree day by the ocean. The large backyard is the true highlight—a space crafted for fun-filled evenings with games, lively conversations, and unforgettable memories. Encanto is the perfect retreat for families and friends to relax, connect, and create lasting moments together.
