An amazing vacation in a beautiful setting

The rental was beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable. The high end kitchen made it easy to cook meals when we wanted to stay in. The view from the deck was gorgeous! It was very relaxing to sit and birdwatch.It was peaceful and quiet while even being just minutes away from attractions. Our three-week stay just wasn’t long enough. We definitely recommend!

The property is beautiful, quiet and very comfortable. Beautifully decorated and lots of room. The property is close to grocery and historic district and just far enough away from traffic and crowds to enjoy the area. I so recommend for your visit to St. Augustine.

Minutes to St Augustine and seconds to paradise

The property is minutes to all the charm and bustle of historic St Augustine. When you’re tired of that, just step out the back sliders and gaze at a gorgeous marsh! We even saw roseate spoonbills, St Augustine’s famous pink birds. The property had everything we needed for our stay. I would definitely stay there again 💕

Comfort and Convenience

This is a phenomenal property that is clean, spacious and convenient to all of the sites in St Augustine, we loved it! The pictures depicting the place are accurate. The beds have great mattresses, the great room is bright, attractive and well laid out. The back porch is a nice place to relax and the walk in bath is nicest I have ever used. The house is convenient by car to all of St Augustine. If you go, top off your week with a Sunset Cruise on the Tiki Bar!

Relaxing spot

The house was very comfortable and was in a great location; it was just far enough from downtown St. Augustine to be relaxing, but close enough to easily enjoy the city. The marsh view from the deck was quite nice. I do think the owners should disclose that there is another unit (other renters or perhaps the property owners?) above and they should update their photos. The back deck view is not as pristine as the photos indicate. Since those photos were taken, there have been several apartment buildings that have been constructed and can be seen from the back deck. It is still a beautiful spot to relax, but it is not exactly as pictured in the listing.

What a great home away from home!

The marsh location is beautiful and peaceful and just a short drive to downtown St. Augustine. The condo was decorated beautifully, and we had every convenience at our fingertips. We stayed comfortably and happily for a full month while waiting for our home to be renovated. The best part was being able to keep our fur family with us!

Winter Getaway

We truly enjoyed our 2 month stay at Marsh Haven. We were close to old town, many restaurants, a large flea market, the beach, and shopping. We travel with our 2 Cocker Spaniels and they also enjoyed their stay. We spent a lot of time out on the back patio enjoying the warm weather and watching the Herons out in the marsh. The owner was quick to get back to us with any questions we had. This was our second time to stay, but the last time we stayed in the upstairs apartment. (I should say house, it was a large 3 bedroom apartment.) This time we stayed in the downstairs, 2 bedrooms and an office. Whenever we stay in the St. Augustine area, I hope we can stay at Marsh Haven again. Everything was perfect, exactly as advertised. A great place for your home away from home.

Great Property!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle Shelby Spinneweber’s vacation home, Marsh Haven is superb for a family vacation or for a much longer stay. My wife and I were building a new home in Nocatee Florida and to our surprise our home in Northern Virginia sold in 6 days. Fortunately we found Marsh Haven on VRBO which accepted our two cats and willing to give us a long term rental. This was a life saver as we stayed there for 3 months. We rented the house for 3 months and I must say very reasonable based on my numerous searches. The amenities are wonderful and in great condition. An added plus for me was the office space so I could continue to work. It is certainly centrally located on the North side of St Augustine and a short drive to the World Golf Village and a day trip to Orlando. I highly recommend this property. I am posting this today July 18, 2016. Clyde Slick
