Panic at the Amp.

We stayed in town to take part in an annual visit from WIDESPREAD PANIC at the SAINT AUGUSTINE AMPHITHEATER. Deacon Chuck and his wife were wonderful and our preparation for visiting their city and property. The property was everything we could ask for. So many levels of comfort and access accessibility to the city. It really was the perfect location for our needs. We are super grateful to our hosts and look forward to hopefully returning next year. Thanks again.

Cute, Cozy, and Close to attractions

We loved this cozy cottage in a quiet neighborhood. We were able to walk to the trolley station. We loved sitting out on the front porches and reading. It was quiet and calm, which was surprising with how close to the trolley station and main road the house is. The second room is very small - it was fine for kids, but would be small for another 2 adults. The owners were kind and helpful. They reached out to let us know they were available, but did not hover. We had no problems to report, however. We loved the property!

Overall the house was full of amenities. Easy access and location was perfect. The master bedroom mattress was uncomfortable and worn. The bedframe was shaky. The second bedroom could have a lamp of some sort. We would rent again.

A Beautiful, Cozy Cottage

This 1925 cottage has everything you need and is so close to attractions. I loved it was a short walk to things I wanted to see and do. It was clean, well cared for and well appointed. I would definitely stay here again. Cozy, peaceful, very enjoyable. Comfortable beds. Comfortable couch. Comfortable setting. Loved reading on the front porch. Neighbors very nice as well.

Perfect Location St Augustine

Our "little yellow vacation home" was a perfect stay while visiting St Augustine. The early 20th century home gave a throwback feeling to the old city appeal, but of course with all the modern comforts of today. We spent our Thanksgiving weekend there enjoying the full kitchen with all the necessary amenities to cook. The TV over the fireplace was perfect for watching the games. The porch was great for sitting outside for breakfast. Back yard just the right size for our four legged family member. Neighborhood was quiet and nice. Home is situated within walking distance of San Marco and the old city. Ghost tours are everywhere, however if your planning on a walking tour do it with Dion (office right next to the oldest school house) he was awesome. We would stay here again if back in St Augustine.

Wonderful cottage!

This cottage was just perfect for our nine days in Saint Augustine. It was so well appointed and had everything you could possibly need. It was extremely clean, the bed was very comfortable, and there was lots of hot water in the shower. The washer and dryer were a big plus too. The fact that it is walking distance to the major sights is big advantage. We did not have to use our car for those excursions. It was also a convenient location from which to reach Anastasia Island and Vilano Beach. We would definitely definitely recommend staying at this cottage. Chuck and Darlene were very good hosts and responded quickly to any of our messages. This is definitely a five out of five star place!

Comfy, Cozy, Cute, Cottage

This lil comfy, cozy, cottage iss sooo cute and very well maintained. We want to go back next year! It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, washer/dryer, porch, a lanai, dining, and living room. It's located 1 block from the old jail and the fountain of youth and a short work to downtown, historic St. Augustine. We rode our bikes everywhere - even in the rain! We arrived late after midnight and super tired from the long drive. All we wanted to do was unload the car and go to bed. Once we were ready to turn in, we found the beds and pillows very comfortable. We were able to sleep in with the blackout curtains in the master. The rest of our stay was great. This cozy cottage has everything! We packed so much stuff for the beach and kitchen but quickly realized we could've left our cooler, beach chairs and beach towels at home. They had a lot of books and games, 2 TVs (smart tv in the living room) and free wifi. There's also a washer and dryer which turned out to be very convenient. We didn't expect to do any laundry, but when we got stuck riding in the rain and had to wash our bike jerseys and shorts, it was easy to throw in our wet dirty clothes from the back door. The hosts are so responsive and attentive. They answered emails almost immediately. This place has everything you need. We'll just pack our bags and food next time we stay here. Grateful they opened up their space for us and provided a comfortable stay. Thank you Chuck and Darlene!
