The house was perfect. Had all of the amenities and comforts of home. The owners attention to detail was perfect. We definitely recommend and would definitely come back for a second visit.
My husband, sister and myself settled in and had a wonderful time. The place was tastefully decorated and had all the ammenities! The beds and pillows were super comfortable and we all had agreat nights sleep. Also the place was very private with a fence around the property and a wonderful underground, private pool!!! Coffee in the morning on the deck by the pool was a real treat for us northeners. Would definitely recommend this place.
This home is perfect. The location couldn't be better and the house had everything we needled
We went as a delayed Christmas with family. The location allowed us ti walk everywhere. The only negative was ir was too cold to enjoy the pool and patio area. We did have to get a Hulu account on order to watch a football game in rhe evening, the home doesn't offer much on the way of tv.
We had a relaxing time. It was unusually cold. Hard to keep warm. One bathroom with tub was a little inconvenient. Was unable to use because of the size and height. Very quaint place
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.
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.
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.
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.
This little gem sits in a perfect spot, walking distance to a plethora of shops restaurants and fun
My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this historic adorable home, Brittany was very accommodating and attentive and all our needs were met with this home in our first stay in St. Augustine. We had a fabulous time.
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!
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.
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!
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!
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.
