    The house was clean and had alot of character. For being an old house it was in pretty good shape. Loved the location, St George St. within walking distance and a wonderful coffee shop around the corner with yummy pastries. Looked forward to quiet time on the porch in the mornings with my cup of joe.

    Great location and quaint neighborhood. Comfortable and well stocked with more than you might find in other rentals. Loved all the antiques and feel of the place. A bit rustic and needs a little work but I guess you could say it added to the vintage charm. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend.

    We have been in st Aug many times over the years. We had the BEST stay ! We came for a concert weekend, and really loved this home. Everything is in walking distance to this place but it’s not right downtown. It’s close to the renaissance - which is good to know if your friends are bookin a hotel close by. We would definitely stay here again. I loved the 1920’s stove- I cook every meal and love antiques so this was a really sweet experience for myself. Over all, it was cozy and enjoyable. Nothing over the top or fancy about it but if you love historic homes (my house is from 1894 - so, I love them !) this is definitely a neat house to stay in. Owners are great to communicate/plan with and they even mailed back my sister in laws jacket that we accidentally left behind. Very kind of them. Thanks for an awesome experience over all.

    Such a lovely home!! We had a wonderful time. Christian was an excellent host and very responsive and welcoming. There is a coffee house just up the street that had a perfect porch to sit on. We went to Saint for dinner - delicious. Shopped on St. George street. Went to Cookiebird for Icecream- so good. Brunch at Sunday - yum. Found some treasures at the vintage stores. And we were very happy to be in the cool air conditioning when we returned to the house. This house is a fantastic location with a short walk to St. George one way and to the vintage stores the other. It was perfect!

    The house was built in late 1800s, but has been retrofitted with electric and central air and heat, which worked very well. St. Augustine is killer hot in July. The location is great, being only a few blocks from the fort, where we were able to watch the amazing fireworks, which is the reason we rented for the weekend. It's easy to come to St. Augustine on the 4th and view the fireworks, but not so easy to leave after the show. Getting out of the city is a nightmare and takes hours on the 4th.. It was nice to be able to relax back at the house after just a short walk from the show. The house was clean, interesting, sitting in a nice neighborhood close to shops. Driveway holds two cars. The antiques were a nice touch, especially the 1936 antique electric Edison stove .
