You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Elegant, FREE BIKES dog-friendly downtown apart.

This huge pet-friendly apartment in a beautiful historic house is located only two blocks from the heart of the Old Town and is sanitized between all guests . You will love the first floor spacious bedroom with a very comfortable king-size bed, sofa, and access to the back yard, as well as the large and elegant living room and a full kitchen. Borrow our bikes to roam around town. There is one guaranteed parking space. Pet fee is $40 per dog per stay (max of 2 dogs).

This is a wonderful first floor apartment. There is a renovated galley kitchen with ample pots/pans and dishes to do any cooking you might want to. The living room has a queen size sofa bed. The gigantic main bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed with tons of pillows. It has floor-to-ceiling windows and beautiful shutters. You have direct access to the back yard. The huge new bathroom is complete with large tiled shower with glass doors and full-size washer/dryer. All the toiletries are included.

You'll love the front porch - it's where a lot of our guests hang out at the end of the day with a glass of wine. It's nice to be outside once it cools off a bit, and on the weekend, you can hear the music from downtown.

********** We actively encourage our guests to purchase travel insurance.

We will only refund the booking for a hurricane threat if an evacuation is ordered in the area by the State of Florida. We experience threats nearly every other week during hurricane season, that rarely amount to anything.

Contracted Covid? That's why you need to purchase insurance. It will cover your booking reimbursement, and we hope you have a speedy recovery.

Your apartment is completely separate. You enter in the main door, and there are four apartments (two upstairs, two downstairs) in this part of the building. You have free use of the shared back yard, which has picnic tables and other seating, charcoal bbq grills and the shared bicycles, along with a funky pedicab where one of you can bike the spoiled person around. Flashing lights included!

We have a wonderful property manager who is available to answer any questions or provide any missing things. Can't find a corkscrew? Missing facecloths? They're all supposed to be there - just ask and if it's anything we can provide, we will. We want all of our guests to have a five star experience and it all starts by communication! We're also fully available by email or text. It's just that we're traveling too! We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance in case your plans change.

This is an interesting neighborhood. We're located right across the street from Ketterlinus Elementary school, so during recess time, you definitely hear the sound of the children, but it means it's pretty quiet at night. There's not a lot of street noise.

It's fun to sit outside on weekend nights and hear the music from downtown, but you don't hear it in the house.

We're in a neighborhood called Flagler's Model Land. Most of the houses in the neighborhood were built in the 1800's and some are very charming. Most of the area was originally owned by Henry Flagler, who played an important part of the growth of St. Augustine. Flagler College is also just a couple of blocks away.

We're a few minute walk to The Social Lounge and The Barley Republic, if you're looking for a drink. The food at The Barley Republic is very Irish and very tasty. Just a bit further and you get to our absolute favorite restaurant: Thai House & Sushi on Hypolita. Don't let the outside fool you with those ugly orange chairs. The food and the sushi is top notch, creative and delicious. Tell them Lindsey sent you!

We are less than two blocks from a trolley stop next to the Wax Museum, which most visitors to St. Augustine like to use to explore the city.

You are always welcome to park on the street in front of the house if there is room. If there's no parking, you also will have ONE assigned spot behind the property. Directions to the parking will be provided with your check-in instructions.

If you have a second car, we do have overflow parking for possibly one extra car on a first come, first serve basis. Parking permit is required.

For longer trips around, Uber, taxis and pedicabs are readily available.

This is a wonderful old house, but these old houses weren't built with the same soundproofing that houses are now, so you may hear some noise. Events and parties are not allowed as a result. We allow pets, which you need to know if you have severe allergies.

First time in St Augustine
First timers to St Augustine and had a great time. Our VRBO was in a GREAT location and was very roomy. Parking was provided and convenient and the unit was actually bigger and better than expected. Within walking distance of everything but quiet at night. Nice roomy bathroom and full size washer and dryer. Only had one complaint and but it is a big one. The bed is incredibly uncomfortable. It is a king size bed but it didn’t have enough support under the box springs so it has too much sag and it was hard to sleep in but this should be an easy fix. The mattress felt new so don’t think it is the mattress. Saw in other reviews numerous complaints about the bed and I am pretty sure this is why. Hopefully the address the issue because otherwise the unit was perfect.

Great place and great stay!
What a great place, not far from the historic district. Everything was in perfect condition and very clean. The owners had very detailed instructions both In the VRBO app as well as a binder. I’ll look to book this again the next time we visit Saint Augustine.

Wonderful getaway!
The home was wonderful- so charming, comfortable and spacious. It was so well equipped - even the kitchen. I brought a number of my own supplies (some VRBOs have been somewhat lacking before) , but I didn’t need anything I brought. We arrived at 3 and parked right in front on the road. The location was perfect. We never moved our car OR took an Uber the 3 days we were there. We walked everywhere and we are senior citizens! I do advise you pick up a map once you get in the historic shopping district. I have to be DF and gluten Free, and I he no trouble finding places to eat. I would definitely rent again!

Wonderful stay!
Charming, clean house in a quiet neighborhood. It was easy to park in front of the house and walk almost everywhere. The hosts left a detailed binder full of recommendations and directions. Pretty much everything you might need is available, including rain umbrellas. We would stay there again.
