It really is a hidden gem!
It was perfect for what we needed! I definitely recommend it! It is central to downtown St Augustine and surrounding area. The host was very nice and accommodating! If I could change one thing it would be to update the bed or add a box spring, we were able to sleep pretty good but a box spring would help for those who would prefer a firmer bed. Otherwise it was still amazing and Thank you to the host!

The room was perfect for our stay. We were in town for a concert and it provided a comfortable room with a refrigerator and microwave to relax in before the concert and come back to for the night. We would definitely stay again.

Sweet Stay in St Augustine
Our accommodation was perfect for the two of us and our pup. Great location and an easy 20 minute walk to the heart of old town St Augustine. Very safe area with a very well appointed rental unit. Super happy that our host had provided a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. We really enjoyed our stay!

Would be 5 ⭐️ with a Deep Clean
Neighborhood is quiet and close to all major attractions. Home is attractive with private parking, a mini fridge, and private courtyards. The room was adequate size and the bed was comfortable. The host was very responsive and communicated well. However, the property has aged since the pictures were taken. The bathroom needs a deep cleaning of the walls, grout and shower tile to clear the mildew/mold accumulated in the wet areas. I shared these concerns with the host upon check-out, but this one time I didn’t receive any response. I sincerely hope they address these concerns because we would book this home exclusively when we are in town.

Secluded Place Near the Historic Center
This was a small space in a large blue house with 6 individually accessed units, perfect for couples, in a quaint, secluded neighborhood within easy walking distance of the Historic Center. This was great since free parking in the center is very sparse. We wound our way along the narrow streets of a sweet neighborhood to arrive at Fort San Marcos without having to walk on busy avenues. The neighborhood itself has its delights; a full moon block party was organized by a nearby store called The Widow Abbott. St Augustine Beach is also a 10 to 15-minute drive. The room was clean and pretty, recently remodeled. The shower was hot. Check-in was a breeze. Everything was as advertised, fairly priced, and Suyen was available via text and phone to provide any additional information we needed. We met her outside once during our stay as she was tidying up the common area outside. She was super pleasant. The negatives: We opened the blinds behind the TV in the mornings to allow plenty of light, but the next-door neighbors could ostensibly look in (they didn't). The January weather had been cool and damp just previous to our stay; perhaps that is why a couple of mosquitoes hovered in our room. The bed is comfortable, a bit soft-ish, and very squeaky if you get frisky. This is a great value and great for anyone who likes to walk around and explore!

short stay
A lot of good things to say about this property. The room was very clean and bed was very comfortable. Also the bathroom and shower were updated and clean. We text the host a couple of times and got a response immediately. check in was easy and directions clear. The location is great if you want to explore the historic district. While we were there a grill with supplies was left for anyone to use, nice touch. A few things we thought could be improve... the loose and uneven paver walking through the garden, we both tripped walking in the first time. The lighting is good in the garden and parking but the walkway going between the two could use some light especially with the uneven walkway. We noticed the smoke detector was missing in the room. Overall we had a very nice stay and we were very comfortable. We would book this location again.
