St. Augustine is the nation’s most historic city with Lincolnville being home to the largest concentration of late Victorian era buildings in the city and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
 
Being within walking district of St. Augustine’s tourism epicenter, Lincolnville is a 140-acre walkable neighborhood and also holds the distinction of being one of the most charming. Experience flavorful dining, art and culture with an abundance of entertainment right on your doorstep.

Downtown Gem is right around the corner from local favorite, Dog Rose Brewery. Blue Hen, the top neighborhood brunch spot is just a couple blocks away, perfect for grabbing a delicious breakfast before you explore downtown.

Getting Around:
Get around town in any different way:
*With the great location, guests can walk to the many shops, top restaurants, art galleries and attractions making it easy to get around on foot.
*Drifters is our top recommendation for daily bike rentals and will drop them off directly at the home.
*Pineapple Ride and Tour is right up the road and provides golf cart rides to anywhere in the city at $4/person.
*The old Town Trolley Tours and a great fun way to see the city with a hop-on, hop-off trolley service that offers stops throughout St. Augustine. The trolley makes 23 stops at or near popular destinations and departs every 15 minutes between 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. and will set you back around $25 per adult and $10 for kids which includes three days of unlimited rides and complimentary admission to the St. Augustine History Museum.

Historical Gem
This was our 2nd visit at this historical gem. It's truly hard to find the perfect place with all the amenities, especially when travelling with pets. Particularly to us, this was perfect for our St. Augustine vacation. Our Boston Terriers love the huge fenced in yard complete with private off the road parking. The home is also full of open space with historic hardwood floors. Super clean throughout and plenty of linen, pillows and toiletries. Bathrooms and kitchen have modern updates, jacuzzi tub (we didn't use) and cute coffee and cocktail bars. Kitchen is loaded with dishes, silverware and pots/pans. Ice maker & filtered water in fridge. Property is in walking distance to two close trolley stops but we actually walked most of our stay to everywhere. Hosts are very responsive to any questions/needs. I cannot brag enough about this great Gem we found. For travelling pet owners, this has been our best find!

The house was really cute, but could have used a few more pieces of furniture. Unfortunately, the outdoor area was not what we had hoped for as the furniture was dirty and the gazebo area was as well.

Spacious house, not fancy, but had all that was needed and convenient location- walked just about everywhere with ease (2 cousins celebrated their 80th birthdays in St Augustine). French restaurant across the street had just opened and was fabulous (La Nouvelle)- an added plus!

Finest place in St Augustine
This home was very spacious and clean. Beautiful remodel of kitchen & bath, even has a whirlpool tub. Comfy beds and spacious closets & drawers for our clothing. Our 2 small dogs enjoyed all the space in the home and the yard. Loved that we could close the gate after parking in the private driveway. Had every amenity we needed, including newer washer/dryer and spacious refrigerator with ice machine. Historic hardwood floors and decor throughout the home. Hubby enjoyed the bonus air-conditioned shed/game room area to do his daily workouts. Great location in the historic district with short walk to Trolly stop at the LIghtner museum. Quiet neighborhood. Management very communicative & responsive. Will definitely look to book here again next time! Thank you for hosting us!

Quaint Place
This is a perfect place located in the downtown area for a couple, two couples, or small family. The best part is its location as it is within walking distance, if you like to walk, of anything you want to do in the downtown area. My wife and I are walkers and have visited Saint Augustine for the past five years and walk everywhere we go because of the limited parking. The home does have dedicated parking if you want to drive to attractions. We found the home clean and comfortable and would certainly stay at it again.

As close as you can get to the Historic district. Clean, comfy beds, kitchen is adequately equipped. The living room could use a couple of more comfy chairs but that’s my only complaint

Great location
The location was great for walking to restaurants and shopping. The listing photos do not show the very poor condition of the wood floors. There are large dangerous chunks missing throughout the living area. The adults in our group had to be extremely careful to not get hurt on the splintered floors. Kids and toddlers would most likely hurt themselves on these wood floors, they are in desperate need or replacing. Other than the floors, the couch is very old and frankly kind of gross looking but the pull out bed works fine. There is really not enough comfortable seating for a house that sleeps 6 people. We enjoyed our stay because we were barely Home and the location is convenient. However I wish we had been able to see the condition of the floors and the couch before we stayed.

Clean and great location
The property is very clean and neat although a little spartanly furnished. The kitchen was well appointed the bedrooms are very comfortable. It was great that there were two bathrooms in the home, not a lot of outdoor space but the greatest thing about this property is you literally walk everywhere and don’t need to use your car which is a huge bonus because parking in town is very difficult and everything is metered, great space great location, owners were great to work with!
