Charming bungalow

The house is older but has a lot of charm and decorated so cute 🐝 Even though the pool is not that deep, we enjoyed it! Great location, close to The Fountain of Youth and downtown St. Augustine. Very Quick responses from property manager and owner with any problems that arose. The owner is very accommodating.

Small but quaint property

We didn’t end up staying the full time because the property just wasn’t what we needed. There is only one television in the living room and it only has streaming services available…although it’s possible that it’s just that we couldn’t figure the cable out. The house is very cute, but smaller than the pictures make it seem. Perfect for a young family, but doesn’t really work with teenage boys. Brittany was very quick to respond and we didn’t have any problems, it just wasn’t right for us. Do note that though it says two full baths, one bathroom has a tub with a sprayer but you can’t stand up to take a shower. Other than that, it’s cute. No complaints, just wasn’t for us.

Saint Augustine vacay

Location was perfect. Downtown was walking distance and so was the fountain of youth. The property did appear to be larger in pics displayed on line but when we got there, it was smaller and we were 4 adults and a 2 year old child so we felt a bit crowded. Overall it was clean and the pool was a good thing since we had hot temperatures during our stay.

Cute house, great location

The house was in a great location, we could basically walk everywhere we wanted to go, only drove when we went to the 4WD beach. The beds were comfortable and the pool was refreshing. My family enjoyed it very much.

Beautiful house for everyone

The owner Brittany and the property manager Andrew were both very nice and very accommodating. They were super helpful with every question/concern. This house is beautiful and conveniently located so close to everything downtown and you cannot beat the private pool! Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again! My sister also plans on staying again and I recommended my cousin stay when they visit the area next time as well!

Great time in St Augustine

The property is perfect for a stay in St Augustine. It is very comfortable, has a lovely decor and is in a great location to access the beach (via a very short drive, approx 5 mins) or a 15 min walk into the beautiful St Augustine.

Lovely stay!

We had a great stay at The Beehive! It is a darling little property, beautifully decorated and equipped with everything we needed and more. Great location in a quiet, historic neighborhood with easy access to lots of what St Augustine has to offer. Perfect for our family of 4. The only small recommendations I would make are for a few beach items (a couple chairs, towels, toys) on hand for out of town visitors and an automatic pool cleaner/vacuum to help with the dirt/silt that would accumulate in the water but was too fine to catch with the pool net. We appreciated all the lovely touches in the home as well as the list of area recommendations. Brittany was very responsive and communicative. We would definitely come back to The Beehive. Thanks so much!

Wonderful location and adorable home!

Such a wonderful place to stay in St. Augustine! Right around the corner from the fountain of youth (we even had escaped peacocks on our road one morning!). One like from old town and shopping. 10 minute drive to beaches. Small pool perfect for the kids to use in the afternoon. We loved it!

Amazing house and amazing location

We absolutely loved our stay at the BeeHive! The house was very clean and had all of the amenities we needed. The pool and backyard were perfect for hanging out and the screen covering kept the pool area bug free. We also loved the location! We were a short drive from Vilano Beach, were able to walk to a few coffee shops and stores, and were about a mile from Downtown St Augustine - everything was very walkable! I’d highly recommend this house for anyone looking for a relaxing stay in St Augustine.
