Beautiful Home in a Nice Neighborhood
The Blue Lion is large, clean, and spacious. There was plenty of room for our rather large family. We particularly enjoyed taking in the neighborhood while sitting on the porch, balconies, and deck. Our boys had a great time playing in the back yard, which was private and spacious. The hosts were very friendly and attentive to our questions and communications. We were very pleased with our experience at the Blue Lion and would hope to stay there in the future if we visit Saint Augustine again.

Wonderful Historical Home
We truly enjoyed the spaciousness of the porches and back yard to read and relax. This home is on the historic registry but has been updated with all modern conveniences. Being close to downtown, we were able to walk to breakfast at the local coffee shops. Highly recommend!

A Step back in Time
Wonderfully restored 1900 home. Step inside and step back in time to beautiful woodwork, ten foot ceilings and an outrageous master bath. A perfect place to stay and visit America's oldest city.
Property was in a quiet location yet very walkable to historic St Augustine. The home itself is an older home, just like all the other homes in the area, so it is charming and decorated nicely with all the things you need. Nice porch in the front, second story balcony in front, and patio space in the back for relaxing. We enjoyed our stay!

Historic Home Close to Downtown
Charming historic home in a quiet neighborhood that's just a short walk or bike ride to downtown and the local attractions. Great for a family of 5. The owners had information and guidance well organized.
