This property is very well renovated, decorated and stocked! The thoughtful touches all over the property were the best we've seen from a short-term rental. Beds comfortable. It was just what we needed for a few nights as a family in St. Augustine! Large, completely fenced in backyard was perfect for our dog. Warning: if it rains, backyard quite muddy and full of little burrs. You'll be picking them out if you have a longer haired dog. Bring supplies to wipe paws and brush/get them out.
Very clean upon arrival (floors SPOTLESS) but noticed it could used a deep cleaning once we'd been there 24-36 hours. Opened windows second day-blinds very dusty and window seals full of dead bugs/dirt. Baseboards quite dirty. Notified property manager and she assured us cleaning crew would address before next guests.
Property manager: Kellin was SOOOO responsive-almost instantly-from the moment we booked! WOW!! Best experience yet with a short-term rental.
Location: West St. Augustine is adorable but some pockets are well worn and seems slightly sketchy from perspective of visitors. However, neighbors in this area (walked dog daily) were so friendly and felt very safe. It's about a 10-12 min drive (not walkable) from historic/downtown. Could ride bikes but area with no sidewalks. Parking downtown a nightmare. We ended up Ubering a few times for almost the same cost as parking. Check out shops and food in West St. Augustine area! ADORABLE and delicious.
LOVELY stay; highly recommend

We are a local St. Augustine family and we love our charming little town!
Why they chose this property
Just off the beaten path, is the up-and-coming, funky, yet tranquil neighborhood of West King. Occasionally, you may hear the faint horn of a nearby train or the crows of wild roosters that roam the neighborhood.
What makes this property unique
We have poured our hearts into this modern, peaceful vacation home. It is also our home away from home and we love to enjoy it whenever we are not hosting.
