We enjoyed our stay in this perfectly situated cottage- it is so easily accessible to everywhere we wanted to be. The host was extremely responsive and accommodating.
Love the location, the host was easy to communicate with. House was comfortable. I gave a t star review review because of these things, if anything the furnishings could be updated, but consiswring the price it was good for the value.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay home was clean and bright access to all the Saint Augustine historic area not too bad to drive around. Town would highly recommend.
We visited Saint Augustine for a night to celebrate my daughter‘s 10th birthday. The home was very lovely & comfortable. Tammy was so helpful and great with communication. The beds were comfortable and delightful after a long day of running around. The location was great for getting to our desired destinations. We can’t wait to go back and stay again. Thank you Tammy!
Property cute! Great location for checking out St Augustine beaches, Gatorland and around the block from state park! We enjoyed the quick trip my 13 year old immediately said we should stay for a week! Thanks for sharing your property with us!

This home is adorable and the outside area is perfect although it was too cold the weekend we were there to enjoy it and have a fire in the fire pit. Although you do have to drive into town, it’s definitely not walking distance.
The home was very comfortable for 6 women. Short drive or shuttle service to historic district. Local bar with great live music just at the end of the street. Back yard was nice to hang out in. Host was friendly and helpful. Would recommend to anyone and everyone.
The visit was quiet. The beds were comfortable. Only one area that was noticible in the living room there were droppings, the front door lock needs to be reprogrammed. Everything else was fine.
Everything was very good, I forgot my daughter's thermos and she offered to help me
I know I will return
The garden is wonderful, surrounded by trees and has a large hammock where you can relax and contemplate nature.
House was great. Could have been dusted better - lots of dirt on air vents and ceilings. The mattress in 2nd bed in the bedroom definitely needs replacing. Was all sunken in. Other than that we loved the house and location.
The house location is super close to the main Hwy we’re lots of restaurants, CVS, Walmart are. Adorable house. Was perfect for us 3 adults. It’s decorated very pretty. The kitchen area is very large. Beds were very comfortable. Only complain we had was the 2 wicker chairs in living room, the sitting area springs are shot, so when you sit you sink in and it’s extremely hard to get out of the chairs. Both of them. Other than that we absolutely loved this house. 10 thumbs up!
The front door keypad was a little tricky but nothing to get upset about. The house is super cute but old, so it creeks, as you would expect. Rooms are nice size, and the bed were ok. Not complaining about that, just they weren't my bed lol. Neighborhood seemed nice but I was a little nervous about the bar on the corner. No worries cause there were no problems, just wasn't expecting it. Overall loved this little place. Will use again!

Never met host, only via messages. So overall the house was nice, ehh back yard was full of lesves not quite inviting, no fire pit, nor grill, there was a loud train that passed early morning, and she had another tenant that knocked hard on our door being he was at wrong unit. Othen than that it was a nice stay, beds are awesome!!
