Apartment Gran Lake

Overall we really liked the apartment. It was convenient to the farm festival we were attending. Also convenient to general St Augustine area. There were a few things that we didn’t find in the apartment, but the owners were responsive. We would stay there again.

If you’re traveling in the Saint Augustine area , you will not find a better place to settle for a few days. Everything is excellent. The place is as clean as can be, the layout is very comfortable and functional, it was very quiet; and the owner is available almost instantly. I will definitely try to stay here anytime I am in the area.

We were very impressed with this property. You can tell the owner takes a lot of pride in this rental. It was very clean and had everything you could need when you are away from home. We did notice there were only two bath towels but we had brought our own so this was not an issue. Very comfortable bed and couch. Very quite neighborhood where you felt safe. The cat is funny and amazing. We are animal lovers but not cat people but still think this cat is awesome. I would recommend this property to anyone and when we go back, if this is available we will choose to stay here. Thank you Mario.

Very nice place. Minor problems but the owners daughter was very helpful. There is no place to hang clothes. It was a little smaller than we expected but nice.

Price per night is good when compared to hotels in the area but trade off is distance from St. Augustine (about 30-40 mins depending on time of day). Close to Shoppes at Murabella where this a Publixx (excellent pharmacy which we needed to use after an unexpected Emergency Room visit for severe allergic reaction) and a good place to eat close to the accommodations (2 Creeks Bar and Grill). Although I continually checked my vrbo inbox, the host did not provide check in information (key is kept in a lockbox by the door) until I emailed him thru vrbo the morning of the day of our arrival. Upon arrival we were greeted (?) by a very vocal cat. He literally was meowing at me by my car door as I exited the vehicle. Then he laid down right in the doorway of the rental and wasn't going to move! We chased him off and then called the host. After expressing concerns, we were told he is their cat (not a stray) and to be sure he doesn't get into the rental and to shush at him to make him go. The next day, a stick was left by the front door for us to use to poke him to make him leave. He's an outdoor cat so they won't take him inside. Couldn't bring myself to poke him so we stuck with the shushing.... A few other observations/notes: Although I did tell the host that I was traveling with my adult son and they list the living room sofa as a sleep area, no linens were left for using that space - at least none that I could find. Use caution in the shower - the floor is tiled with glazed tiles. I found it slippery but my son was fine with it - the difference between youth and maturity. The AC vent in the bedroom is directly above the head of the bed so you feel it blow directly on your head when it kicks on. The bed is full size in case that matters for your comfort. The water dispenser on the fridge is angled at 45 degrees or so versus straight down so use caution - I gave myself a bit of a spritz on the first go LOL

My wife and I stayed here and attended a marriage conference. This property was comparable price to some of the standard hotels in the area, but offers far more space and much more comfort. We were glad to have a private space at such a good price. Thank you to our hosts for providing! If we come back to the area, we will definitely consider staying here again!
