Christmas vacation

Enjoyed the Turtle House with my family during the holiday break this past week. The neighborhood is so so, but the house itself is adorable! Very clean and nicely decorated. Plenty of room for everybody. Large living space for game nights :) I would definitely recommend to anybody wanting to visit St Augustine.

Beautiful rental

The home was clean and comfortable. Our only feedback has to do with responsiveness from property manager. We had an elderly relative with us and sent a message early in the day asking if we could check in prior to 4p. We never received any response. It is understandable that there may have been others in the home and early check in was not possible, but the lack of response made me wonder what would happen if something more serious was needed during our stay. Other than that, we would love to stay again. Really lovely place.

Bang for Your Buck

This property is such a clean and cute space! I absolutely loved it and quite honestly the quality felt out of place compared to the rest of the neighborhood because of how much nicer it is. It’s a safe neighborhood for sure just very different than my experience with St Augustine as a whole. We loved our stay though and would recommend it to anyone. Plenty of space to sit at a table and dine and the kitchen is open enough to cook in as well! Thank you for letting us book.
