Trendy Uptown-Kids Playhouse and Peacocks! Walk Downtown-Peaceful-Private Street
About this house rental
Welcome to Magnolia House! A place where neighbors stroll, peacocks strut, and squirrels frolic; this is old Florida. Just a mile from the Historic District, yet on a very quiet street without the hustle and bustle of downtown. Five minutes over the bridge brings you to Vilano and the pristine beaches of Guana Tolomato Matanzas Reserve. Bring the family, or have a quiet getaway for yourself. Slow down and enjoy old St. Augustine at Magnolia House. Magnolia House is light, airy and locally decorated. Within a shady grove of Oak Trees and lazy Spanish Moss you'll find an idyllic yard with outdoor seating to unwind. A porch with rocking chairs is full of Southern charm. Kids and Grandkids will adore the playhouse all to themselves! Peacocks and squirrels visit daily! A stone's throw from Magnolia Avenue, filmed in movies and one of the most photographed and beautiful streets in America according to National Geographic. Be rejuvenated by our neighboring Fountain of Youth; there's something special in the water at Magnolia House. *Please note- Magnolia House has parking for a max of two cars. Please, no smoking anywhere on the property. No additional/unregistered guests at any time. Security cameras are posted in the front and back yards.

Very nice house in a great location. Peacocks aplenty.

Pros:
- Location is fantastic. Just a short walk to historic area, restaurants, shops, tourist sites, etc. The neighborhood is beautiful, quiet and felt safe. Our kids loved the peacocks that came to visit! You are right next to the Fountain of Youth, however you will hear the cannons going off every hour or so during the day.
- The backyard is great. Very kid friendly with lots of space to play. The neighbors cat would visit the yard quite often.
- Kitchen was well supplied for cooking.
- New washer/dryer was very convenient!
- Host was very responsive and pleasant to communicate with.
Cons
- Living room furniture is extremely uncomfortable. So much so that we ended up cutting our trip short because there was just nowhere comfortable or cozy to sit as a family. The couch is very hard (it pulls out which is a plus if you need an extra bed)…but other than that there are only plastic dining chairs to sit on. Or the floor.
- The bathrooms need some attention. Cracked and peeling grout and peeling paint on the shower and tub surfaces. The mat inside the tub had some kind of brown mildew on it.
- No extra blankets or sheets. A cozy throw blanket for the couch would go a long way.
We were so excited for our month-long stay here but were definitely left a bit disappointed. I think with more comfortable furniture and bathroom repairs this would be a 5-star property.

Thank you so much for offering your home to visit this amazing city.
This home was very spacious and comfortable for six. Our grandchildren enjoyed the backyard too. Wished we were able to enjoy the fireplace. The peacocks were a + to watch. We came for Nights of Lights and loved walking thru all the colorful buildings and park. Only negative thing was that we couldn't stay longer.

Our family of 5 stayed for 2 nights during the Night of Lights. The neighborhood is right off the picturesque Magnolia Avenue, and is nice and quiet. It is an easy walk to the fort and city…about a mile or so. The backyard is draped with moss covered oak trees and has a fun little kids cabana, hammock, and space to run and play. With 3 small kids (8 and under), space to play is very important. Upon check-in, a whole group of peacocks walked up to greet us. It was like a fairy tale!
We enjoyed our stay very much. Kids bedroom downstairs was our favorite. Our only critique is to wear your shoes in the home because your feet or socks will get dirty pretty quickly. All other surfaces seemed clean and orderly otherwise.
So much fun, and we hope to be back next year. Thank you!!

There were three old college friends enjoying this trip. We have been friends for over 50 years. The house fit our needs fine. We enjoyed the peacocks in the front of our house. We even saw a white peacock. The location was great. We could walk to the Fountain of Youth. We enjoyed the trolley. We left the TV unplugged because when we shut it off it was talking talking out we could not understand what they were saying. We had a great time.

Magnolia House was a weekend getaway for my family and I plus our fur baby. The home is lovely nestled on a quiet road frequently visited by the local peacocks. We all enjoyed the location which is just minutes from the Fountain of Youth and the trolley depots.

Wow... We absolutely loved this house, and we are already planning our next vacation to St. Augustine and plan on staying here. The house was perfect in every way. The location was spot on, as we walked many times to the downtown area for shopping and exploring. We loved going to the Fountain of Juice ( the coffee shop) outside of the Fountain of Youth for amazing coffee and juices. It was so amazing to enjoy coffee on the front porch and watch the peacocks come into the yard. We loved how quiet the neighborhood was and the next-door neighbors were super friendly. Highly recommend it if you are looking to relax and enjoy an amazing coastal town. The only words of wisdom, as it is mentioned in the listing, the parking is tight. I had no issue with our Toyota Sienna, but anything bigger would be a little challenging, but not impossible. Lastly, the owner was very awesome to work with, I sent him a few messages and he responded very quickly We will be back.

We have just returned from our trip to St. Augustine and the beautiful Magnolia House. It was the perfect choice for our stay. Originally my husband and I were going to be traveling with our daughter her husband and their 2 children. I was so excited that the grandchildren would get to enjoy the playhouse in the back yard but unfortunately they had to cancel at the last minute due to family illness. This would have been the perfect place for all of us. My husband and I decided to continue with our plans anyway and took my sister and brother-in-law. Although we didn’t use the playhouse or small putting green in the backyard, we all were amazed at the cleanliness and roominess we had with Magnolia House. We loved sitting on the shady front porch in the most comfortable rocking chairs. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and very close to the historic district. We even had an extra bonus the first morning with gorgeous peacocks in the front yard. Thank you Greg for sharing your beautiful home and we will definitely visit again.

I would like to say this charming little get away was just perfect for our family! It was located close to the historic downtown area, we walked with no problem. It was very clean and neat. It was supplied with the essentials you would expect. Our favorite part was sitting on the porch under the beautiful old oak and watching the peacocks visit! Sweet and charming area! I would recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable place that is in a great area!

Wonderful vacation
The Magnolia House was perfect for our family. Located in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to the historic district and with easy access to the beach. The house is nicely designed and the Kids Cabana and yard were a huge hit!

Not as presented in the photos.
Property very clean. This house is like a cottage -- spare, minimal furnishings, and not very comfortable. Photos misrepresent the house as a warm, cosy place -- which it is not. Very few amenities -- no tissues, no kitchen spices, no serving dishes, no dish soap, etc. We were very surprised, but adapted and enjoyed our stay.

We had a small bachelorette getaway. It was so roomy. We all cooked and made drinks in the kitchen that had everything we needed. The outdoor patio area was beautiful, we wish we could have enjoyed it more. The hammock was so peaceful. Truly a sweet place to stay. Everything was clean and the decor was nice too. You are only can have 2 cars but I was able to park in street overnight with no problem. There was also the surprise of peacocks!
