We had an absolutely wonderful girls weekend in St. Augustine, what a beautiful city! The communication from the property manager was excellent, the house was very clean and well stocked for 7 of us. Close to all the sites and walk able to the main street full of wonderful restaurants. We loved the pool and front porch. It was one of the most fabulous places we've stayed at and the group has been traveling together for over 30 years!

It is a lovely house. The location was perfect to get to all of the events we had for our daughter’s wedding. There is a lot of space for our family to spend time together. Danny was very accommodating to our requests. We would stay there again. The sleeping arrangements were a little awkward for our different family members. Thank you for such a wonderful place.

The house is fantastic. Very clean but has the feel of old world. Updated kitchen and bathrooms. All the updates you want but keeps the historic vibe. And the backyard is amazing! Heated pool, outside dining and a putting green. Perfect location for walking anywhere in town. Any needs we had were addressed immediately. I give this my highest recommendation.
