Summary:

Casa DeSoto is a meticulously renovated and charming 1920's home in the heart of downtown St. Augustine's Historic District. Nestled on a quiet one-way street with plenty of coveted off-street parking, the home is a short 2 block walk to all of the city's famous attractions.

As you prepare for bed, loosen up in the jetted bathtub with a bath bomb. This couldn't be more tempting!

With all the wonderful amenities and cozy features provided in the home, you'll never want to leave! But when you are ready to venture out, guests are delighted to find that many of the top St. Augustine attractions are just minutes away by foot from the home. Enjoy some local favorite restaurants nearby such as La Nouvelle, Ice Plant, and St. Augustine Fish Camp!

This was truly a 5-Star stay! The location is fantastic, and the home is truly amazing. Everything was extremely clean and ready for our stay. The home was also well equipped and had everything we needed for a great trip (soaps, tons of towels, ample driveway parking, entertainment, etc). We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the backyard on cold nights and the pool table! There was so much space to spread out, even with 6 guests. Danny and Andrea were very communicative and sent over a helpful guide to walk us through staying in the home and the area. Great walkability to the historic area and tons of bars and restaurants. The bath and body works soaps and snacks/wine upon arrival were also a great touch. We also really appreciated that the check in and check out processes were simple and easy. You won’t regret choosing this as your stay in the St Augustine area!

This was our second stay at Casa DeSoto -- first of all -- location -- easy walking distance to the Historic Downtown St Augustine and a short and easy drive to the beaches. The house is very clean with fluffy towels, a complementary wine bottle and stocked kitchen. Bathrooms have soaps and shampoos. Our teens loved the pool table and outdoor fire place. The outside spaces are lovely! Highly recommend a stay at Casa DeSoto!

A lovely getaway

Our stay at this cute little 1920 home was wonderful. The host had the home all setup for Christmas. All of the rooms had the spirit of Christmas with cute decorations. Outside was beautifully setup with Christmas lights. All the amenities were there for you such as condiments, laundry soap, shampoo and so much more. The home is very close to downtown St. Augustine so we were able to enjoy the Christmas lights downtown. The neighborhood is very quiet. I highly recommend this host.

Beautiful St. Augustine retreat

Spent two nights over 4th of July holiday. Cleanest rental house I have stayed in. Very close to historic sights. Everything within walking distance. Beautiful backyard with birds and squirrels everywhere. Beds very comfortable. I would agree with others that it's not disability friendly. Many stairs throughout the home. We all enjoyed this home very much.

Awesome Casa De Soto

The property is amazing inside and out. The location is great. The inside is warm, welcoming and cozy the grounds are beautiful. Backyard is wonderful for bird watching or to just eacape the hustle and bustle of life. Even though it was only in the 60's we totally enjoed the firepit. And yes, we roasted marshmallow. (Picked them up from Creme de la Cocoa). Honestly, they have thought of everything you only need to bring your clothes and food. It was a wonderful 60th birthday surprise from my husband.It was definitely a 10 out of 10. Highly recommended
