You will find plenty to do, 2 minutes walk from Dog Rose Brewing Co, 3 min walk to Lightner museum and Flagler college, and 6 or so minutes to St. George street, which has all the shopping, food, and attractions one can ask for! Enjoy the culture of old St. Augustine, with the comforts of home! New 3 story home with large fully stocked kitchen, game room, outdoor dining area, 2 king beds! Steps away from the trolley, the historic center, and tons of shopping and food! 15 minute drive to Vilano beach!

This is a 3 story new build, the first level has a game room with a TV, sleeper sofa, and multi-use game table. The space can alternatively serve as a home office, with a desk set up, separated from the rest of the living areas. This area leads out to the backyard with stone pavers, patio lighting, dining furniture, and new hot tub.

There is a one car garage on the first level as well, which attaches directly to the game room. Please note, no bathrooms on the first floor! All guests must be comfortable climbing stairs!

The second story houses the main living areas, and includes a kitchen, laundry room, 1/2 bath, dining and living room. Kitchen is fully stocked, and includes essentials for making coffee and tea, a full spice rack, oil, salt, pepper, and GreenPans and bakeware.

Our location is in the heart of downtown, 2 min walk to Lightner museum, Flagler college, 9 min walk to St. George street which has multiple boutique shops, souvenir stores, and food from sit down restaurants, to the best pizza place, to amazing popsicles, and everything in between!

Old Town Trolley Tours stops at the Lightner museum, and 21 other locations throughout Historic St Augustine. This is a hop-on/hop-off guided tour through the city, and allows you to explore at your own pace!

St. Augustine is a rapidly growing and gentrifying area, with new builds right next to (or across the street from) older neglected houses. You will occasionally see boarded up buildings in the middle of neighborhoods surrounded by neighbors with perfectly landscaped yards. This is simply the way most of St. Augustine is. Our neighbors are quite friendly, and the streets are well lit at night.

A member of our team will be happy to meet you and show you around the house and make sure everything is ready for your stay.

We have keyless entry available for your convenience.

Please feel free to message us if you need anything, or if any issues arise. We try to respond promptly during typical business hours, and up until 8 pm. Please try to limit nighttime communications to true emergencies. Thank you in advance! We hope you have an amazing stay!

We are located in a gentrifying area of St. Augustine. The old is mixing with the new, and it is not uncommon to find houses in disrepair next to new builds. This is true of most of St Augustine, and also true of our neighborhood. We are a brief walk away from the college, Lightner museum, St George street, and a brewing company. In the midst of all the action there can be some noise, but it is generally a quiet neighborhood, with friendly neighbors, who may very well engage as you walk by. Welcome to Old Town!

Walking is easy, and you are also close to trolley stops if you want to see the town via hop on/off trolley. Parking can be tricky downtown, but there are some public pay per hour spots.

Our house is child and pet friendly. We do ask that pets be crated when you are not at home if they are not going with you. There is an additional pet fee which will be added to the reservation.

Please do not leave young children unattended near the stairs. There is a high chair and a pack and play available for use, please let us know ahead of time if you would like to make use of them during your stay!

Security Deposit: We do request a security deposit to book, it is simply a hold in the amount of $500 on your credit card. This is to discourage significant damage to the house or property, and/or violation of house rules. This will be released after your stay. Please rest assured no money will be taken without discussion with you and your approval beforehand. Again, this is simply a hold, and in 2 years of doing business we have only had to utilize.

    Everything worked as it should and the location is great for walking! Parking at the house is very tight and neighbors street park so be cautious of how you park on arrival as you may get blocked in.If you need a baby gate, the one provided is not useful for toddlers. Also, the halls are wide so if you bring your own, it needs to be 48” wide or more.We had a great stay, thank you to the host!

    This is a lovely home in a funky historic home district within easy walking distance to all St. Augustine has to offer. We stayed for a week with our four high school/college aged children and everyone had a blast - plenty of room to spread out and great space to gather for games in the evenings. The home is in excellent condition and the owner has put a lot of care into making your stay pleasant - including leaving thoughtfully appointed resources throughout the home, a comprehensive welcome guide and prompt email correspondence. Great stay!

    Very enjoyable. Easily walkable to historic district and downtown so no parking problems. My 4 star rating is based on the upstairs middle bathroom sink having no water pressure and the kitchen faucet needing repair. Overall, the house was very comfortable for our group of 6.

    Everything was perfect! So clean, very cool A/C, all the amenities you could ask for, fully stocked with all kitchen tools, coffee, bath products, snacks. The master bath was spacious and all the beds were super comfy. There are two sets of stairs to get to each level, so maybe consider if everyone in your party can handle that. We would definitely stay here again!

    We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. Its close to walk to almost everything we wanted to see and do, if we drove it was usually only a short drive to get to where we wanted to go. In February the hot tube was a wonderful thing to use and the house was very clean and we felt right at home. We will definitely be back.

    As a grandmother with an active two and a half year old grandson, this could not have been a better place to be. Our kiddos were in a wedding and this wonderful location plus amazing spaces made it ideal for their purposes and for us to entertain and keep our grandson. Great kitchen with everything you could possibly need, plus plenty of space to spread out puzzles, coloring books, and more! Just a fabulous experience, location, and home! I'd give it more stars if I could!

    We had a lovely stay here while visiting Saint Augustine. We were easily able to walk to all of the downtown places we wanted to see. The house was perfectly clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable too. The property manager was always quick to respond during our booking process. We would definitely stay here again!

    Spent a week. Perfect location just a 10 minute walk to the center of the Historic district. And around the corner from La Nouvelle French restaurant that feels like you are in a Michelin star restaurant. Spotless and almost new. Huge TV. Free, hassle free parking in the driveway. The outdoor hot tub was a hit.

    Pretty much perfect. Location is an easy walk to the historic district as well as two great nearby restaurants Fish Camp and La Nouvelle Bistro. Quiet. Very clean. Parking. The whole house is quite new so doesn't have the tired feel of many others. Great beds. Ridiculously big TV. The outdoor hot tub was a great treat after dinner.

    This was one of our favorite places we have stayed in St Augustine (and we have stayed in many places!). It was a new build, very clean, well decorated, comfortable, and nicely stocked…even a full coffee bar with many options, and a basket of snacks! We had some issues with the door lock, but the owner was very quick to respond and fix the situation. The house is in a very convenient location, close to downtown. We would definitely stay here again!

    The house was beautiful and very close to downtown St. Augustine, we walked there one of the days during are stay and i would say it was like a 15min walk. Also the beds were very comfortable and the home had great wifi. I can only think of one additional thing i would enjoyed at the house would of been a grill or blackstone but its just a preference for me and i would still stay here again without it.
