The Big Sanchez - 5 BR-3BA - 1890s Charm

Summary:

This gorgeous home was built in 1890 and embodies all of the old world charm that is St Augustine. This 5 bedroom 3 bath historic home has everything a big family would need, space! The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from The Fountain of Youth (just two blocks east) to a nice 15 minute scenic walk to Francis Field (concerts, Sing out Loud Festival) or Castillo de San Marco and then another 5 mins to downtown. Or just relax on the back deck with friends and family.



The Space:

First Floor:

There are two living rooms. The main living room is at the front of the house by the stairs. You will also find the first bedroom (king bed) just off of the front living room.

The host was friendly and responsive. The location was fantastic and the beds were very comfortable. For the price point, however, the couches and furnishings were super worn and the stuffing was coming out of the pillows and being held together with safety pins. The kitchen was pretty well appointed.

Family Halloween weekend getaway with 6 adults and 2 dogs. We loved everything about this house. Jason answered me quickly with every question I had. House had plenty of room to catch up after spending some time in town which was a nice 20 minute walk. Everything was provided and had everything to cook with. We really enjoyed the outdoor patio. I would have given a 10 if I could’ve.

Fenced in yard was perfect for two small fur babies. Entire home was clean and very comfortable. Host was very friendly and accommodating. The best feature of the place was the backyard. Outdoor furniture was comfortable and heavily shaded from the trees. We would definitely return to this beautiful, historic home.The 5 bedrooms and 3 baths were ideal and fit 9 people comfortably. Thank you to the host for opening up your amazing home!

Good Choice!

We have been renting single family homes in Florida for over 15 years. We thoroughly enjoyed this property. It is well maintained, clean, and has all the necessities for an extended stay; we spent the entire month of February in this house. We had numerous family and friends visit over the month, as many as nine adults at one time. The five bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodated us nicely. Everyone liked the house and in particular its proximity to downtown St. Augustine. While an older home, it has the charm of high ceilings, crown molding, and solid wood floors in most rooms. When you rent for an extended period issues do arise. The owner, Jason, responded quickly and fully addressed the few minor issues that arose. Our extensive experience with renting homes for extended periods dictates that you need a responsive property manager. Should we return for another visit to St. Augustine, we would not hesitate to rent this home again.

My wife, stepdaughter, and I stayed for the weekend and loved it. We usually rent a hotel when we visit St. Augustine but wanted a little different experience this time. The house was as pretty, warm, and comfortable; the owner was gracious with good communication. I have recommended this place to a few friend's and family that are looking. Was an A stay; next time I will have to stay longer.

Great Family & Friends "beach week"

Plenty of space to hang out in small or large groups, comfortable furniture, large dining room table for shared meals and games. Everything worked. AC was good, and there were more washers/driers than expected. The property next door was a bit sketchy and there was some construction going on over there, but it wasn't that bad. Close to many attractions and within walking distance of down-town historic area. There were 9 of us: 4 married couples (myself and my wife; our two sons and their wives; and 2 friends) and our teenage grandaughter. We had adequate parking for 3 cars. My friend flew his drone a few times, our sons and their families went to nearby beaches, we ate in some of the local restaurants or got takeout, or cooked in the kitchen. A great experience!

Birthday Getaway

There were eight of us that stayed for a trip for my boyfriends birthday. We absolutely loved the house. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, cups, utensils, etc. Beds we very comfortable. Practically across the street from where you get the Trolly and the Fountain of Youth. Its also about a 15-20 minute walk to St. George's street. Would 100% stay again if we make another trip to St. Augustine.

Comfortable stay for a short weekend

We stayed for two nights at this property and had a great time. The property is accurate to the description and the pictures posted on the listing. It’s a lovely and quaint house that matches the history of St Augustine. The parking on the property perfectly fit four cars and the house comfortably housed 7 adults. Although we only stayed for two nights, the property was definitely set up well to accommodate a longer stay to get to know St Augustine well. Great location in walking distance to the historic district, but far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of a touristic town. Jason is a fantastic host who was always available and on top of responding promptly to any questions we had.
