Downtown Garden Home in the Center of the Historic District with free parking

Great location in a wonderful town for family vacation

Wonderful property! Beautiful, well-decorated home and patio in an excellent location. Walkable to everything in and around the historic district but still so quiet, peaceful, and secluded. Awesome, easily reachable host. Will definitely stay here again if back in St. Augustine.

We loved the location.

Perfect location allowed us to easily walk everywhere!! Parking for two vehicles was excellent for the area. The space was great for two couples and we loved the porch. David was an amazing host who answered every question and did everything he could to make us comfortable.

What an amazing stay! Perfect location and beautiful property! All the little things were covered. Hosts were very nice and made our stay great!

The house was perfect ant Dave was an excellent host.

Beautiful, private property! Well maintained, comfortable and convenient location. The balcony and outdoor spaces are ideal for morning coffee and afternoon cocktails! We enjoyed both! Walkable to many shops and restaurants. The property owners are friendly, gracious and helpful. A great place to stay while enjoying the city of St Augustine.

Wonderful

We have stayed at this property several times. It is close to everything while offering privacy in a unique setting. We love the interior space as well. The hosts are great!

Great location Spacious and comfortable Owner helpful and available

Our host David was totally great--he was tenacious in getting my older computer to communicate with the house's Wifi, and he got it! He came back just a bit later with an even better scheme for reliability. He has known this building intimately for many years. Fascinating place! Former owner traveled a great deal and collected lovely furniture, beautiful folk art and fabrics that David wisely--and appreciatively--kept. It felt like we were staying in a lovely estate's guest rooms. Heating, cooling, water, appliances, bathrooms are all up to scratch.Thank you, David, for generously giving us your time and attention while in the midst of your own life's changing and heavy demands. You are one of life's generous people,Holly and Michael

The perfect place to stay in the historic district of St. Augustine. The host and accommodations were outstanding. We have stayed at Casa de Banta around twelve times and we are looking forward to our next stay.

The apartment location was perfect!

David was so forthcoming & welcoming to his home! The history of the area is evident in the home & its furnishings! Beautiful home located in the heart of everything within walking distance! Recommend highly!

Excellent host - very personable and informative. High quality rental property.

Great location and very well maintained property. Everything was walkable and the host was very nice !

I can’t say enough nice things about both my experience here and the property itself. If you are staying in St. Augustine, staying here will enrich your time enormously. Meeting the property owner, David, is just as lovely as the property. Our experience here was one I’ll never forget. As soon as I shut the door, I was making plans to come back.

Everything was perfect, including the location being close to town, the privacy of the apartment, and the amenities in the unit. We’ll will return.

We had a wonderful stay here! This place has all the character and charm of historic St. Augustine, with the sounds and the smells. We spent quite a bit of time on the balcony, enjoying the sounds of the horse-drawn carriages, taking in all the delicious fragrances of nearby food and watching the tour trolleys go by. As everyone else has said, the location couldn’t be better. It’s a peaceful haven in the middle of a charming, bustling festive city! The host, David was very nice and accommodating. Definitely a fantastic experience all around!

Amazing house, location, and hosts. Highly recommended,

We had such a great time .Host were the best i have ever experienced at a vrbo

This is our fifth Vrbo and this is absolutely the best one. Not only did it meet, but it exceeded our expectations. Fabulous location! Roomy and beautifully decorated. Our own private tropical courtyard. Host David and Libby were amazing. Will definitely return!

We stayed here 5 nights in June, 2025 with our adult son. This location is fabulous and we enjoyed the house so much. You actually get the entire shotgun style house which runs the length of the 4 garages underneath. You also have beautiful large gardens on both ends of the house to yourself which I really enjoyed. You will not need to drive anywhere here unless you're going to the beach. All of historic St. Augustine, many many restaurants and bars, shopping and art galleries are within walking distance. I was worried that the house would be hot because it is an older dwelling and we went in June. It was very comfortable....not hot at all. Amenities are everything you need, including plenty of kitchen ware. Beds, bedding and towels were very comfortable. We met the owners on our last day and discovered they live in the house that this house shares property with. They were very kind and we will be back for sure!

Overall the Banta House is one of the best vacation rentals we have stayed at. The unit is very clean, well maintained and has all the amenities required. Our host was excellent! Perfect location to walk around old town St Augustine. This rental is definitely an A!!

Can’t beat the location is just the beginning of this wonderful home! Comfortable beds, great a/c, everything you would need if you wanted to cook in….but so close to wonderful restaurants you might not want to! Loved our stay and our hosts were top notch! Highly recommend!

The property is fantastic. Great character and close to everything. The owner is super nice. We will definitely stay here again. Thanks

This place is perfect. The house is beautiful, well stocked kitchen, great towels & beds. Location is unbeatable, close to everything. The outside garden area is unbelievable, when I saw the VRBO pic, I messaged the owner & asked who am I sharing this with, David said, it's all yours. it is a true bonus & the porch from living room has a nice view.David & Libby are great hosts. Very helpful & just fun to talk to. This is the place!!!!!!!!

Two couples on a short 4 night getaway. This place was perfect. Very clean, super charming and the location could not be better. Walk to everything the Old Town has to offer. Very eclectic with wonderful fun artwork and furnishings. David, the owner could not have been more helpful and kind. Happy to answer questions and make recommendations, which were all great ones. It’s a lovely place, perfect for our needs. And don’t forget about the enclosed garden. So lush with a water feature, beautiful plants and trees. Excellent spot for Al fresco dining or a glass of wine at the end of the day. Highly recommend!!

We stay here every year and it is perfect as usual. Great location and very comfortable.

Perfect location for enjoying the Historical District all just a few steps away. The property is lovely, the house is perfect for two couples. Thanks to Dave and Libby for being fabulous host.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything we wanted to do was in walking distance. The unit was very clean and supplied nicely. We would highly recommend this property.

Great long weekend. The owners were awesome and very accommodating. We had a great stay and as stated in the title, great location.

What a great place. Super clean, walk to restaurants and shopping, You can hear the horses clopping down the street drom the balcony. The hosts are very nice. We will be back!

This location is in the middle of all of the excitement! Easy walk to everything. The place it decorated amazingly. It was very comfortable and relaxing! The owner was very attentive and recommended a great place for dinner. We would love to go back.

Love this place, grounds are beautiful, location is more than convenient, a beautiful place to enjoy St Augustine.

Best location in the historic district. Walking distance to everything we did. Our hosts, David & Libby had all the furnishings for a comfortable getaway. We have stayed at this property (10) times and hope to be back soon!

First, you couldn’t ask for a better host. Checked on us immediately at check in. Gave a great history of the property that made us appreciate it even more. Quick with recommendations for things to do and dining. Location was very convenient and within walking distance to many historic sites. Quiet and relaxing stay. We really enjoyed the side courtyard and patio. Highly recommend.

Beautiful property in a great location. Friendly hosts with lots of good suggestions on where to eat. Only downside was delivery trucks early in the morning waking us up.
