Great location,spacious with a great view.

The property is located very close to old town and attractions, not even a ten minute walk. The house has beautiful open floor plan with two good sized bedrooms and two baths, the house was very clean and had all the essentials for cooking and just hanging out with a nice back porch that overlooks the lake, we visit St Augustine often and have rented several different VRBO’s, this is one of our favorites.

Great home - Super location!

Loved our 3-night stay at this property! House was immaculately clean, beds and furnishing very comfortable and kitchen adequately stocked. Location was an easy walk to downtown St Augustine. Our host was friendly, easy to communicate with and offered good suggestions for dining. The only suggestion I would offer is some sort of luggage rack, chair, ottoman in master bedroom for luggage. Also, no need for an alarm clock as there is a ROOSTER right next door that will let you know when the sun comes up!! ;D Overall a really nice stay and would definitely recommend to others!!

Great location on the water

We stayed two nights at this charming little cottage. The home was clean and comfortable. The porch view is beautiful onto the water. The deck and patio furniture could use some TLC, not quite as pictured. The home was well stocked with quality towels, paper products, and kitchen tools. There wasn’t anything we found missing. Coffee maker is a drip coffee and not a keurig so bring some coffee grounds. Elliott, the host, was very welcoming. No need for an alarm clock as the rooster will let you know what time to rise (which we loved). Close proximity to town and we were able to walk to the fort and St George Street. It’s a fun little town and Elliott's restaurant recommendations were excellent.

Annual St Augie trip

We rent a different location ever year when we go to St Augustine. This house is very interesting and very unique. It's been lovingly decorated and cared for from the kitchen to the bathrooms to the artwork. It's a great location for enjoying all that the downtown has to offer. Having said all that, it does lack in kitchen supplies if your planning on cooking at all and would get rid of the overhead showerhead in the master. Not a fan at all. Although Elliot, the owner, was very nice, having him within a few steps was a different experience as well. Overall I do recommend this house.
