-Palmetto bugs are large bugs that look like roaches but have wings and can fly in through open doorways. They are a HUGE problem in Florida especially after heavy rains. We have monthly pest control service but these particular bugs often still find a way to get in. Hopefully, if you see one he is either dead or dying. Don’t be alarmed - they don’t bite or sting. I usually grab a paper towel and pick them up and toss them in the garbage can. If you see more than one or two please let me know and I’ll give the exterminator a call.

Much needed R&R

Believe me folks, the pictures are REAL! I had the most relaxing stay at Casa de Flora B. It is an excellent location (could walk everywhere in Historical St. Augustine, FL). The parking is a major plus. The attention to detail is superb. The furnishing are high quality. The unit is quite & safe. The host thought of everything one could use. I am so fortunate to have found this gem. Will plan future visits!

After finding the Casa De Flora properties 5 years ago, we never stay anywhere else. We have experienced the beauty of all but one of the apartments. Mary Ann thinks of absolutely everything you could possibly need! Her beds are like heaven and all the beautiful finishes are exceptional! It’s a real pleasure to stay here!

First time visit to St Augustine

My husband and I were in town for a family wedding and were first time visitors to St. Augustine. The property was spot on as advertised and could not have been more perfect. Spotless and comfortable. Everything you could possibly need was provided. Easy check in with a personalized welcome note & treat waiting for us on our arrival. The property is in an ideal area of town & walkable to many places we wanted to visit. It was absolutely perfect and we would highly recommended it. Thank you Mary Ann & Bill!!

Very welcoming as you enter the home. Very appreciative of the frosted mugs in the freezer. The home is perfect for two people, but not large enough to accommodate any more. Given contact information for the host if have any questions…fast response from her.

This property looks exactly like the photos on line but so much better in person. First the place was spotless and their attention to detail was the best we’ve ever experienced. From the music playing upon arrival to beautiful dishes glasses tea cups. Everything you could ever need was tastefully supplied. So happy we close Casa de Flora for our stay in St Augustine.

Amazing choice for a visit to St. Aug!

My boyfriend and I stayed for 3 nights and had an amazing stay at Casa de Flora! The owner(s) are truly the most thoughtful hosts and have thought of every little detail to make your stay complete and comforting. What really sealed the deal for me was the noise machine that is provided bedside. I forgot mine at home and was thrilled to see there was one there! Umbrellas handy, welcome chocolates, Brita water filter already filled and ready to go in the fridge, pre-made ice cubes – truly everything you need for a comfortable stay is provided. Everything was extremely clean, and we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Highly recommend staying here!!

Awesome Rental

My wife and I spent our 44th wedding anniversary in St Augustine. I can’t begain to tell how much we enjoyed our stay. And the best part was where we stayed. What an awesome and quaint room. It was extremely clean, and quite comfortable. The best part was meeting Mary Ann who is the owner. We found her to be extremely friendly and hospitable to our needs. If you ever plan to stay in St Augustine, you simply cannot find a better place to rent. It was within walking distance to the old downtown, so just park and walk to all the places to enjoy your time in this friendly city. Better yet, there is a quite large yard out front with many chairs to just kick back and relax. Thanks again to Mary Ann for going way out of her way to make us feel extremely comfortable with this stay. We will definitely be back and hope to stay in one of her rentals. Terry & Susan

Darling and delightful!

This little apartment was just so spectacular. My husband and I came to St. Augustine for a quick winter getaway. We were able to walk to the fort and local attractions which was great for not having to find parking. The city is lovely, but it might have been the this apartment that had our hearts. Beautifully decorated. Cozy sheets and linens. Lovely kitchen and bathroom and EVERYTHING you may need to dine in, dine out, go on an outing. Picnic at the beach? No problem! Walking on a rainy day? You're covered. Staying in to watch movies and cozy up for the day? Easy peasey! We just loved it and would have stayed longer if we could. (PS the Shrine across the street is was just the best ever!) What a wonderful location, beautiful space and thoughtful hostess! Thanks so much!

Wonderful apartment near Historic St. Augustine

We had a wonderful time staying a Casa de Flora! If you are looking for a cozy place to stay for a St. Augustine getaway, this is the place! My husband & I stayed here for a spring break/anniversary getaway without our kids. Mary Ann & Bill were amazing, kind & attentive hosts! We even had the pleasure of meeting them during our stay. We loved that this place was just a short walk to many historical sites and delicious restaurants and a short drive to the beach. As others mentioned Mary Ann really did think of everything we might need during our stay. Her attention to details was truly a step above! The apartment was extremely clean, well maintained, very comfortable & well stocked. The mattresses and sheets were super comfy! Although the bathroom is on the smaller side, it was more than sufficient and the shower had plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Having lots of movies and steaming options to choose from was nice as well. My husband is a coffee drinker and I prefer tea. We loved that we were easily able to enjoy both in the mornings. The kitchen had what we needed to prepare a few small meals during our stay. We also appreciated that they encouraged all guests to observe posted quiet hours from 10pm-8am since there are adjoining apartments on the property. This was our first time visiting St. Augustine and would love to stay here again.

Hidden Gem

Wow! Casa De Flora was wonderful! Everything was clean and very comfortable. The ability to park easily was a great bonus. Bill & Mary Ann provided a great stocked kitchen, very comfortable bed(the sheets were amazing) and furniture. The bathroom was well stocked with all very nice bathing necessities. The apartment was laid out in a very functional manner. The location was perfect for us. Well within walking distance to the Historic district and trolly stops, but far enough away to enjoy quiet nights. We really enjoyed our stay here and would not hesitate to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Mary Ann

Host profile image
My husband Bill and I owned a community pharmacy for 25 years. In April of 2016 we sold this business. Bill grew up in the house beside this property. His mother, Flora, purchased this house in the 70's from the family that had built it in 1924. The home has 3 apartments and has previously been rented long term. Apartment B became available in August and we decided to completely redo it and offer it as a vacation rental.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in the uptown area of St Augustine and is within walking distance to everything downtown. You're close enough to enjoy downtown without being caught up in the noise and traffic congestion.

What makes this property unique

Close to historic downtown. There is a front and back entrance to Apartment B with parking in the back.
