St. Augustine is a rapidly growing and gentrifying area, with new builds right next to (or across the street from) older neglected houses. You will occasionally see boarded up buildings in the middle of neighborhoods surrounded by neighbors with perfectly landscaped yards. This is simply the way most of St. Augustine is. Our neighbors are quite friendly, and the streets are well lit at night.

A member of our team will be happy to meet you and show you around the house and make sure everything is ready for your stay.

We have keyless entry available for your convenience.

Please feel free to message us if you need anything, or if any issues arise. We try to respond promptly during typical business hours, and up until 8 pm. Please try to limit nighttime communications to true emergencies. Thank you in advance! We hope you have an amazing stay!

We are located in a gentrifying area of St. Augustine. The old is mixing with the new, and it is not uncommon to find houses in disrepair next to new builds. This is true of most of St Augustine, and also true of our neighborhood. We are a brief walk away from the college, Lightner museum, St George street, and a brewing company. In the midst of all the action there can be some noise, but it is generally a quiet neighborhood, with friendly neighbors, who may very well engage as you walk by. Welcome to Old Town!

Walking is easy, and you are also close to trolley stops if you want to see the town via hop on/off trolley. Parking can be tricky downtown, but there are some public pay per hour spots.

Our house is child and pet friendly. We do ask that pets be crated when you are not at home if they are not going with you. There is an additional pet fee which will be added to the reservation.

Please do not leave young children unattended near the stairs. There is a high chair and a pack and play available for use, please let us know ahead of time if you would like to make use of them during your stay!

Security Deposit: We do request a security deposit to book, it is simply a hold in the amount of $500 on your credit card. This is to discourage significant damage to the house or property, and/or violation of house rules. This will be released after your stay. Please rest assured no money will be taken without discussion with you and your approval beforehand. Again, this is simply a hold, and in 2 years of doing business we have only had to utilize.
