Perfect place for a quick getaway

The accommodations were just right for a weekend getaway being in a short walking distance from shops and the historic district. It was a quiet tucked away one bedroom with a nice size kitchen. Communication was great as well.

St Augustine

The property is not in great shape and the picture does not reflect to actual conditions. There is damage to the walls and shower pan, the front door wood is rotting. The unit adjoining to the north had a dog that barked quite a lot.

Teachers taking Spring Break

We had a nice stay. The property is only three block walk to the highlights of Old St. Augustine. We tried to wash dishes in the dishwasher, however it was not working. The kind owner offered to come and do the wash. It was nice to have a clothes washer and dryer in our room. We really had no issues other than our outside entry door lock would often stick and the would require us to wait two minutes for the electronics to reset. (This did get irritating, but really no big deal)

This property was better in pictures than it was in person. We chose secret chef because of its location and what seemed to be a well stocked kitchen as I am a chef and like to cook some meals while travelling. The house smelled musty and was very damp. The toilet paper holder fell off the wall and the general appearance was in disrepair. The blinds in the kitchen were dirty, the closet door was broken and the outdoor areas were overgrown and need manicured. We only stayed one of our 6 nights booked due to the plumbing backing up into the shower and a cockroach found in the kitchen. After speaking to 2 other renters at the property, we learned that they were also having drain issues. The host was very quick to act and we were refunded most of the money we paid for the stay as we had to find a new rental property on the fly.

Nice and close to historic downtown

My husband and I visit St Augustine every year. Nice place to stay if you are looking for a close walking distance. This is a pet friendly place. We were able to bring our 2 dogs with us. Kitchen is nice size for cooking but is limited on the pans for cooking so you have to be creative or just bring your own. Overall we enjoyed staying there.

Outstanding location

We found the accommodations to be exactly as described. Everything was very clean, and the hostess was very accommodating and communicative. The location, spaciousness of the unit, a private courtyard to walk our little dog in made this an ideal property, for us , or anyone wanting to be with in walking distance of all of the downtown attractions, yet have the privacy and spaciousness of a private home. We would highly recommend this property and will be returning!

Exactly What I was Looking For!

This was exactly what I was looking for and 100% as pictured. I especially loved being able to walk to everything historic St. Augustine has to offer. The space was perfect from me and my 40 lb standard poodle; there was room for her travel crate and bed. The well-appointed kitchen meant I didn't have to eat out every meal, and everything was clean and welcoming. Communication with the host was quick and helpful and the pet fee process was simple and appropriate. I cannot wait to come back!
