We spent two weeks here. The beds and furniture are very comfortable. The fenced back yard is great and well decorated. It's an easy walk across the bridge to St Augustine, and a minor drive to the beach. The neighborhood is very nice and a very short walk to some amazing bars and restaurants.

This home was in a fantastic location close to the beach and the historic downtown of St Augustine. It was walkable to breweries, restaurants, and activities. The house was comfortable and clean and beds were comfortable. We had a couple of issues arise but the host was super easy to contact and issues were handled quickly and efficiently.

Great Location

We had a great time and enjoyed the walkability to local restaurants and old town. We drove to St. Augustine beach (short 7 minute drive with free parking) and really enjoyed the area there as well. The back covered patio gives a nice shady spot to sit outside without getting pounded by the sun. Would stay again.

Great St. Augustine stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome. This place was perfect. Location was great. Easy walk to St. Augustine. The outside area makes it! Our pup loved the fenced in yard. Outside shower was amazing especially at night. And it was cool enough one night for the fire pit. Will definitely stay here again.

Checking in was not smooth and we never had a single source for messaging the host. Should we use the VRBO app, phone to an intermediate and unhelpful support number, or text? A single source of contact would have made the whole stay a lot smoother. Otherwise, the property and location are perfect!

Cool house in an awesome location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back! The house was perfect for the two of us and our pup. Backyard was wonderful. We loved the outdoor shower and fire pit. Also being able to walk just about anywhere we wanted to go. The neighborhood is very safe for walking your dog. Osprey Tacos, Meehan's Backyard and Fish Camp are a few of the places we would definitely recommend. Thank you Kelly for letting us enjoy this cute little oasis for the week.

This house was very comfortable for my husband, me, our 2 adult children and our 4 year old dog. We all had plenty of room. The fenced back yard was a nice haven. We had a couple of thunderstorms with heavy rain, so didn’t get to enjoy the back yard as much as we would have liked to. Great location to walk to some restaurants and the downtown was a reasonable walk. We liked not having to drive and find parking. The host was very responsive and check in and out were very easy.
