We were in town for a week of testing at Mayo. The house could not have been more convenient. We walked easily to appointments at St. Mary's and were able to catch the shuttle for most appointments at the main campus. I love colonial style homes and the house had charm and everything we needed. My favorite thing was sitting out on the deck playing card games and drinking coffee. There can be a lot of helicopter noise, but we actually enjoyed watching them and never found the noise to be a nuisance. Denise was very helpful and her communication was great! She even gave us some extra time at checkout because my daughter was exhausted from her long week.

stayed here with my friends and had a great time! very cute house and all our needs were accounted for

We were able to stay here and be within a mile's drive to the Mayo Clinic area. My mom was in for a surgery and it was nice to have the amenities of "home" without being in a hotel. We appreciated the stay and vintage-feel of the home. My dad is now inspired to do a little re-decorating in their home because of it. I did accidentally take the garage door opener and a piece of laminated paper with me. My sister unknowingly packed it into the car before I could leave it on the table. When she took the bag out--I assumed she left the items on the table. About 11ish I got a call from Denise (owner) to return the items--which I very promptly did within 15 minutes. However, considering the circumstances I was dealing with my mom's surgery--I think Denise could have sounded a bit more understanding. If she deals with "Mayo Clinic" guests a lot and their situations--a bit better bedside manner would have been appreciated. Otherwise everything was good.

Like many of you, we stayed here during a stressful visit to the mayo clinic. The sun room gave us a perfect place to digest all the information we were getting, and to just relax in general. It was great match for us!

Location of property was perfect as we ended up needing a longer stay than originally planned. Our Host was able to accommodate our longer stay. We enjoyed the sun room for coffee in the morning and to unwind after all day at St. Mary’s in the evening. We enjoyed our stay.

Great location! 3 minute walk to St Mary’s.

We had absolutely the best time staying at the St. Augustine House. The property was so clean, comfortable and peaceful. We had everything we needed to spend a weekend visiting family, with a well appointed kitchen for making brunch, a lovely & sunny front room where we sat for hours, talking & reading. We were within walking distance for shopping & restaurants. We hope this home is available again the next time we visit family in Rochester.

Kitchen had everything we needed, and it was a lovely calm place to stay while having some appointments at Mayo. Great mattresses and nice table to gather around while chatting.

We were absolutely thrilled with our stay at Denise’s St. Augustine house! She was extremely responsive to my questions before and during our stay. We needed to extend our dates twice, and she graciously accommodated us and made the process so simple! The house was extremely comfortable and well furnished. The inclusions, such as a high chair and baby toys, made our stay easy and convenient. The location to St. Mary’s campus absolutely cannot be beat! It was a very easy two minute walk door to door. A short 5 minute drive from the Gonda building downtown was also great! I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to stay in Rochester!

It was a wonderful place to relax after a long day at the hospital while my husband was at St. Mary’s. The house was beautiful and clean and the host was super friendly and accommodating.

God send being so close to the hospital

Cute home, as described in listing. Great location, safe for walking and biking. A great place for our family to gather!

The owner was very nice and accommodating. The home had everything we needed.

Very nice house in quiet neighborhood. Close enough to everything

My friends and I rented this home during a weekend stay in Rochester. The home is very charming, warm, and welcoming. I highly recommend this home!

At the writing of this review, and following our stay at this sub-par property, we contacted the City of Rochester since short term rentals are required to be registered and hence inspected for safety of guests. We learned that this property is NOT registered which explained some of the safety concerns we had. The garage leads to the dimly lit basement for entry to the home. There is a drain hose from the boiler laying across the walking path to the stairs. On the other side of the basement, there is an electrical cord from one of the three dryers also laying in the walking path. Both are significant tripping hazards as they are unexpected and due to the extremely bad lighting of that space. Upon entry to the kitchen, there are white paint specs all over the floor. At first one would think that it was poor workmanship on cabinet painting until you realize the cabinet paint is chipping off of the cabinets and onto the floor (along with falling into the clean pots and pans). Who knows when the cabinets were last painted so it is unknown if this is old lead based paint or not. There are no smoke detectors nor carbon monoxide detectors in the home. The one fire extinquisher was stashed in the back of a linen closet on the second floor of the home. There is mold in the upstairs bathroom. We have reported this rental to the City of Rochester so that these items can be addressed for future guests. The roof over the porch had structural support issues and in the middle of the stay, unannounced or coordinated with us, a handyman came out to fix it so, as he stated, "the roof won't fall down". I had walked home from the hospital to take a nap to find this man and his power tools at the home. I let the man continue to do his work and went back to the hospital as it was impossible to sleep over the saw and pounding. From a cleanliness standpoint, we never slept in the beds. The linens were wrinkled, torn and stained which we have pictures of. We checked to see if the downstairs sofa pulled out to make a bed and gagged on the amount of trash under the cushions. One previous reviewer made a comment about safety - I understand now why. The sunroom while the best room in the house, only has sheers up. It is like being in a fishbowl as it faces the street. There are unknown people that tend to use the sidewalk in front of the home coming up to the front door so it is a little disconcerting.

Our time with family in Rochester was excellent and this home was the perfect landing spot for us! Denise was super pronto in replying to an internet question and was flexible in allowing us to check out an hour later when 10 was a problem. The home is warm with lots of cozy sitting spots for quiet close conversations and reading and the large dining table is perfect for gaming. Where one chooses to stay can make a big diff in the quality of the gathering and our group gives an enthusiastic 10 thumbs up to this place!

We came to visit family and friends. There were 6 of us. Everything was really great! Location was perfect. Check in super easy. Very comfy and plenty room for everyone. I thought the beds were extremely comfortable. The Foosball table is in the basement unfortunately. There was only one bad thing but not a big deal at all. It has listed that they have a grill. They do but it was no good. I would suggest taking that off and throwing that away. They did tell me they don't maintain it so I was warned. We found one so it was all good. Would recommend and will hopefully be back.

We met up with friends here for the weekend as our annual get-together. The house was clean and had all of the utensils we needed. We really enjoyed our stay here and especially loved the sun porch!

This was a lovely home & a perfect getaway for me & my wife. Right off the freeway, surrounded by endless options of food choices. Exactly what we were looking for! Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us!

We had a great time, easy to get to from Hwy 52, and very close to the hospital.

If you’re a light sleeper, the helicopters fly in:out frequently. Beds are upstairs. Sunroom is gorgeous. Everything you need and more!

This place was in a great location, wonderful home and property, would've loved to stay indefinitely. Highly recommend!

This comfortable home was warm and inviting. It has a bright and cheery sun room that made me feel better just sitting in it. The location is perfect for those having appointments at Mayo: you can see the helicopter landing port from your windows, and the Mayo Clinic is just a few minutes away by car. Not a home for any one who has difficulty with steps, but I would stay again in a heartbeat. Loved it!

This amazing house is in the perfect location!! Denise is an incredible host with great communication! The house is so clean and the layout is perfect. Denise has one of the best stocked kitchens I’ve encountered in my several Vrbo stays this year. The beds were so comfy and the linens were incredible. We loved having a garage ! Great little back patio area for sitting outside ! All in all, it was because of this house that we had a great visit at Mayo. It was the perfect house to come home to after a long day at the clinic. Will most definitely stay here on our next visit to Mayo.
