The perfect family trip!

We had the best experience booking with Betsy! From check in to check out everything was easy! The house was beautiful and just as describe in the listing. It was also very clean. Location was perfect for walking downtown to everything. To top it all off, we were greeted with very sweet decorations for celebrating our in-laws 45th wedding anniversary! They also provided treats for our dog and all the toiletries you could think of!!I would recommend this property to anyone looking to visit St. Augustine.

We enjoyed Betsy’s true southern hospitality! A girls trip with tag along infants was made seamless, the space and location were perfect for us! The simple check out was appreciated by a group of young moms and the walkability to local attractions creates a relaxing trip!

Four of my friends and I had a mom‘s weekend away and the five of us stayed in this house so comfortably! It was a beautiful house well set up with everything we needed to have an amazing time! The house is a very walkable distance to the charming town and had everything we needed for a fun day at the beach! The beds were a great size and very comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals at the house. We will definitely stay here again next time we come, and I would even stay with my family!

Girls weekend and also celebrated a big birthday for us all.

The pictures you see are what you get. This was the BEST VRBO any of us have ever stayed in, it was perfect. The house is clean and very well kept. The owner has thought of it all! Each bedroom is so quaint and comfortable. The little details from q-tips to safety pins to bandaids, etc. The location can’t be beat. Everything was in walking distance except for the beach areas. We all said we would definitely come back. Loved it!

Perfect Weekend in St. Augustine

Three girlfriends and I were in St. Augustine for a wedding and I can't say enough positive things about our stay! Starting from inquiring about booking, Betsy was responsive, friendly, and helpful. There were no questions left unanswered. Checking in was a breeze and we were all so impressed by the beautiful home and the personal touches left for us. There was a welcome basket of snacks and a letter from Betsy. Each room had a basket with tissues, hair ties, shaving kits, toothbrushes, etc. Towels and bath products were also provided. Really you could walk in forgetting all of your amenities and be fine! There was plenty of space for us to spread out (shoutout to the hammock in the backyard). The beautiful kitchen has anything you would need for cooking, though you are SO close to amazing restaurants, we didn't end up spending much time in the kitchen. Truly my only complaint is that we weren't able to stay longer! Thank you for a wonderful stay, Betsy!!

Wonderful House, Prime Location, and an Amazing Host!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Betsy’s VRBO property in St. Augustine. The location is superb—within walking distance of shops and restaurants—making it incredibly convenient to explore the area. The house was impeccably clean, spacious, and thoughtfully stocked with every necessity, along with a few delightful extras for any forgotten items. Betsy’s attention to detail and warm hospitality truly enhanced our stay. When I accidentally left behind some important belongings, she arranged for them to be shipped promptly, which was much appreciated. Additionally, the personal touches such as the complimentary wine, gourmet goodies, and the comprehensive guest information binder truly set this experience apart. I wholeheartedly recommend this property and would gladly return on a future visit.

So much to tell! From walking in and seeing our names on Board with welcoming candies and snacks, to personal hand written card just for us, to absolutely totally stocked kitchen including coffees… and cold bottles of water ( and not only two but 8!) to all 3 baths stocked with everything you need … Betsy the host goes totally out of her way and you ll find throughout the rooms jewelry holders, make up mirrors ,toothbrush …and many many other little things. … so no worries if you forgot something. The most thoughtful host I ever came upon. Thank you Betsy, no one does it better!

Lovely Christmas holiday

Amazing, charming older home close to downtown. Nicely stocked with personal message at snack bar. Very clean with wonderfully caring host who was easy to contact. Only downside was tight squeeze in back drive way and, as home is close to downtown, had some late night revelers trekking up sidewalk in front of house late at night. Otherwise a fantastic stay!

The host Betsy said we would have everything we needed and we did!. The home is full of comfort and personality. Everything stocked with lots of extra touches. The outdide space was exceptuonal with a front porch and backyard for relaxing and socializing. Wonderful location just a few blocks from the welcome center. Betsy provided lots of information on what was happening in town and how to get around which made planning easy. Would love to come back and stay again.

Family stay

Home was well equipped and 3 full baths was great for three families. Great quiet location. Lovely backyard with nice lighting for family get together. Kitchen was excellent and very clean. Games, beach towels, snacks and bottle of wine were great surprise. Owners communication was first rate and timely. Only negative was the use of very blue 5000K lights in otherwise beautiful fixtures. Warmer color LEDs would have been more homey. But overall definitely worth more visits.

Absolute Perfection!

My family and I took my Mother-in-law to St. Augustine for a long weekend and we couldn’t be happier with this property! We were welcomed with a cheerful sign and a goody basket containing snacks and even a bottle of wine. The location was an easy walking distance to all of the popular spots in the historic area. In fact, we didn’t drive all weekend, only walked. The property was meticulously cared for and absolutely beautiful. We loved the outdoor space providing a nice seating area with beautiful landscaping surrounding us. The rooms were all tastefully decorated with beautiful furnishings. As a nice touch, they provided little baskets in the room with essentials in case you forgot anything. We couldn’t have asked for better stay! We will definitely be back!
