    The house was a older home and inside was clean and had all we needed. The outside had a huge oak tree so the leaves were abundant, nothing a good blower couldn’t handle. We had our own parking space in the back alley which was great access to front and back of home was clear, and well lit. Was in walking distance to downtown st. Augustine. We had a great time we donated 3 stemless Wine Glasses since they only had 1, but ample martini and flute glass. Kitchen well equipped.

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cottage was very comfortable and had lovely antique furniture and lamps. And sitting in the private backyard was nice and quiet. The location was a little farther from the Old Town than I thought. There were a few minor maintenance issues that needed attention, but overall a very nice cottage.

    We decided to see Nights of Lights the week before Christmas and booked this in July. We have never stayed at a VRBO before, but this was a great experience. St Augustine is fun to walk,so we had a safe neighborhood to walk to and from and leave our car parked. Lovely neighborhood, quiet and the old cottage was just the right size.The back porch and yard,which is fenced,is private with plants and trees. Will go back for sure, even in beach weather because its shady at the house too! There were 3 of us and we did not bring groceries or cook, but if you decide to do that,everything is there! We brought coffee,creamer and sugar for the mornings. Very comfy rooms/beds. Water good and pressure great! Just make sure you like to walk,bring good comfortable footwear! Its was a great 4 day Christmas Season getaway!

    We had a wonderful stay at Sunny Side Cottage; it was perfect for four adults and a child. I was initially worried about parking, but we had plenty of room with two mid-sized SUVs. The location is easily accessible, and walking to the historic portion of town was easy.

    We had an amazing time during Thanksgiving week. Being able to walk in a few minutes to the historic district made our staying just perfect.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We really enjoyed the property. My only complaint was the amount of 'glade plugins' that were placed throughout the house. I'm allergic, so we had to unplug them all for our stay. The central air worked fabulously, and we were very comfortable. The master tub is one that has been painted and is starting to show its wear. Even though the house is near a main road it was really quiet.

    We absolutely loved our time in Saint Augustine and this pleasant cottage. Our favorite spot was the rockers on the screened in back porch. We sat there at some point every day. This house has great gathering areas, a spacious front room and a big table in the kitchen. It’s an old house so there are necessarily some quirks but the overall charm definitely wins out. Another plus was the proximity to the downtown area. We were able to walk to 80% of our activities. The cleanliness left a little to be desired, but not a dealbreaker. It was surface clean and we took care of the rest. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend you do.
