Our family had a truly enjoyable stay at this VRBO property in St. Augustine! The location is absolutely fantastic, making it incredibly convenient—just 10-15 minutes to everything we wanted to do. We especially loved being able to walk to numerous restaurants and even stroll over the Bridge of Lions into the historic district. Seeing the Castillo de San Marcos from the dock was a special treat, and we were thrilled to spot dolphins playing while enjoying the beautiful sunsets. The property itself felt elderly and kid friendly, with easy accessibility that made it comfortable for everyone in our group.The house itself was super clean, and we found the beds to be very comfortable, ensuring good rest after our adventures. We did encounter a couple of minor hiccups during our stay; the smoke detectors went off a few times in the middle of the night (which we resolved by removing batteries and reporting the issue, declining immediate repair). Additionally, the washing machine stopped working and leaked, which was an inconvenience since we'd packed lightly anticipating laundry access.Despite these small issues, the overall experience was wonderful. We appreciated the easy parking with plenty of space and the good communication with the property managers. We absolutely recommend this property and would happily stay here again. Thanks for having us!

City of Lights getaway
Wonderful location and a short walk or uber to the historic downtown city center. We loved the dock and saw dolphins swimming in the bay. The view from the backyard is breathtaking and sunsets are a must see. The only one thing I don’t like was that someone entered the home when we were not there and I was not notified They left the side gate open and turned off the A/C. Not a big deal but it would have been nice if I got a call or a message so we expected it. I am looking forward to a return trip !
