We spent 3 nights here and thoroughly enjoyed the house. Its a historic beauty, clean and in a great location. Its walkable to historic St. Augustine and an easy bike ride to Vilano Beach. The yard is great, and we appreciated the usable bikes. Also loved that they decorated for the holidays and provided snack bags. On the downside, the dishwasher did not work, and neither did the outdoor grill. We notified the hosts.

We had a great time at this property, it was so clean and cute inside, had everything we needed and the host was so nice. The host left us a beautiful basket that was tailored to our group, which was a really thoughtful touch! There was a little issue with beds but the host fixed it immediately! Would definitely recommend to anyone going to St Augustine!

My husband and myself along with 2 other couples decided to spend our wedding anniversaries in St. Augustine this year. I found the listing for this home and it was exactly as the photos described. This home is located in a great proximity to many historic attractions and the beach. There are too many extras to list but there is not a detail missing. You will not be disappointed if you choose this home. This was my first VRBO transaction/stay and 17 May has set the bar pretty high. If we return to the area again, we hope to stay here.

We stayed in St. Augustine following our Disney Vacation. We do this often because we all know that Disney is not relaxing. This charming cottage was the perfect spot for our family to enjoy St. Augustine and relax. The proximity to the beaches, as well as downtown was perfect for us. We were able to walk around when we wanted to and the short drive to down was perfect. The cottage itself was absolutely beautiful and clean! Anything and everything we needed during our stay was thought of and available for us. The size was perfect for me, my husband, our two kids and my grandparents. We can not say enough good things about this place. They also had cute personalized touches for visitors. Thank you so much for such a beautiful place to relax and recoup after a very busy week. We will surely be back again!

The May Street cottage is the best! It’s just around the corner from the beautiful Magnolia St. and The Fountain of Youth. The Property Manager was fantastic! She made it personable and very special for our 50 the Birthday Girl Trip! Would highly recommend. It had everything we needed. We will be rebooking.

The Cottage on May was perfect for our family of five. The home was equipped with everything we needed during our stay. We had plenty of space and walked everywhere we needed to go in St. Augustine's historic area. We really only used the car to head to the beach or grocery store, all of which was super close. Hayley was an exceptional host and provided a special treat for the kids to enjoy on Easter. It made them feel really special. Everything you need is provided and then some. I would definitely recommend staying here and we will definitely book again when returning to the area.
