Staying in a house/converted church has always been a bucket list item for me… and it was amazing! Super convenient to all of the restaurants and shopping! We got there, parked our car, and never needed it again until we left because we were able to walk everywhere.

Absolutely perfect location - walkable neighborhood and just a few minutes walk to all that historic St Augustine has to offer.

What a wonderful rental! Our host was awesome! Any questions we had were answered promptly and we had no issues. This is by far the most charming and beautiful rental you will ever book! There's so much character in this home and I love how despite the renovation they did to turn this into a rental they really pay homage to the history of this beautiful historic church. Everything you could want to do in St. Augustine is within walking distance. We will definitely be making this place a frequent family vacation destination!

What a beautiful place to stay. Excellent location! Within walking distance of the Colonial Quarter. Quiet neighborhood. The hosts were quick to respond to our messages and were very helpful with our questions. I can't recommend this gorgeous church enough! There was a lot of room to lounge and relax. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. We arrived on a VERY hot day and the AC was already running. When we walked in it was crisp and cool. Convenient parking right out front. 10 out of 10. It wasn't just a place to stay, it was an experience in itself. This church was definitely a highlight of our trip to St Augustine!

This home was fantastic in every way. It was incredibly unique and historical yet comfortable and full of everything we needed. As my daughter described it, this home is designed and decorated like something off of her dream Pinterest board. We loved walking and taking short drives to fabulous restaurants and shopping, but also enjoyed relaxing in the home. We loved the unique shower and bath tub, the pool table and radio, the comfortable beds, and TVs for everyone. Thank you!
