Close to everything but quiet and comfy

Enjoyed our couple's stay! Would've liked a TV in the second bedroom but that was a minor detail. Owner was quick to answer questions. Quaint and homey special attention to detail.

Magnolia House

We loved our stay at the Magnolia house. Everything was very comfortable and clean. The neighborhood is nice and quiet and close to the downtown area and the bridge that goes over to Vilano beach.

Perfect Little Getaway

This quaint little home has everything we could have needed and more. The rooms are beautiful, comfortable, and the beds provided the best nights of sleep. The kitchen is fully furnished and the grill on the back deck was so nice for grilling out meat from the local meat market. Just one block from the magical Magnolia Ave and lovely walks to Downtown St. Augustine and nearby Vilano Beach, made our short visit the absolute best. The neighborhood is peaceful and can best be enjoyed from the rocking chairs on the front porch. We enjoyed starting each morning at the local coffee/smoothie shop and walking home on the sand road every evening. Property Manager was accessible, responsive, and courteous. We visit St. Augustine frequently and intend to make this rental a regular for our visits. Absolutely perfect!

Location: The house was in an incredible spot in St. Augustine. It was just a short walk to the historic district, with all its charm and attractions, yet tucked away enough to feel private and peaceful.Amenities: The kitchen was spacious and well-equipped with everything we could possibly need for both short and extended stays.Living Space: This rental was perfect for anyone considering a longer stay. The house had all the comforts of home, including a comfortable living room setup, reliable Wi-Fi, laundry facilities, and more. It was clear that the host had thought of everything to make our stay as convenient as possible.Outdoor Area: One of our favorite features was the outdoor space. The screened-in porch was ideal for enjoying the Florida weather without the bugs or rain, providing a lovely area to relax with morning coffee or evening cocktails. The yard was well-maintained, offering a serene environment to unwind in.Host: The host deserves special mention for their responsiveness. Any question or concern we had was addressed promptly and with genuine care. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction really enhanced our experience.Overall Experience: Our stay in St. Augustine was delightful, thanks largely to this charming rental.

Cute, clean, convenient -could not have been better!

This charming updated 1890s home is a perfect place to stay to explore St Agustine. It’s a block away from the Trolly Depot and historic jail , a couple of blocks from a kitschy Florida tourist attraction - The Fountain of Youth and an interesting walk into the old town area if you’re hearty. The Co-Owner Jerry is a charming and handy guy. Our one glitch was a cranky water heater - which Jerry fixed within 1/2 hour of notifying him of the problem!! This is everything that a vacation rental should be. You will not be disappointed!
