Perfect escape

This was a very clean and well decorated home. The host thought of so many extra things to make us more comfortable during our stay. The mattress was amazing and the kitchen well stocked. This home is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Everything we needed was close by. We will definitely return!

Peaceful getaway along the Intracoastal

We came down to Saint Augustine to confirm whether or not we wanted to find a seasonal home of our own in the area -- not only to escape the winters up north but also have a place for our kids and grandkids to get away to. We chose this "Gem" to allow us to experience both life along the intracoastal and daily living in one of Saint Augustine's established communities. This "Gem" more than met our expectations! What a great location for a couple to spend a week or month in the beautiful Sant Augustine area. Early morning walks and runs along Shore Drive, as well as watching the boats and many birds along the river. Meeting some of the neighbors along the way was another treat. Then after we returned from exploring various communities for our own possible get away each day, we could sit back on the relaxing front patio looking out over the intracoastal, or stretch out on the large and comfortable hammock, or just sit on the back deck as the sun began to set -- all great outdoor living spaces to enjoy. This great little home is well equipped, and Luz is a wonderful hostess -- very focused on our being able to enjoy our stay. Plenty of room indoors to relax, but the different outdoor spaces truly let you experience living in this amazing eclectic area full of culture, history and natural beauty. And by the way, we did find a little gem of our own to purchase so we can continue making memories in and around Saint Augustine.Thank you Luz for the opportunity to spend a week in your "Gem" along the waterfront.

Thank you very much for your very descriptive review of our home and of all our outdoor areas to enjoy the beautiful sunshine and breezes the Intracoastal offers. I am so happy to hear that you were able to find your own gem in St Augustine. Our neighborhood is one of St Augustine best kept secrets as it is scenic and safe. Your review will help other travelers realize how important that is when choosing where to stay in St Augustine. Thanks again for choosing us as your host in St Augustine.

About the host

Hosted by Luz Hegi

Host profile image
We are both retired, married for 47 years and have been in this area for the last 45 years so we have first hand knowledge of local places to try. I will share my restaurant recommendation list and help with anything within my reach.

Why they chose this property

This house is in what we think is the nicest neighborhood in St Augustine, it is safe, walking along the water is a great way to unwind with the beautiful shore line.Watch boats, birds or people go by from our front patio. On the side deck we have a hammock to enjoy the breezes and water view.
In the back deck you have a teak table and four chairs with a umbrella to dine al fresco,rain outdoor shower and other lawn chairs. This home offers you all the comforts that you will need and over 500 sq feet of outdoor living too. This our second home so it's not set up as a bare rental as many that have popped up in other neighborhoods.

What makes this property unique

Quiet oasis away from traffic, waterviews, marshes, established neighborhood. Only 2.2 miles from the beaches, a easy ten minute drive. The historic area is also a 10 min drive and Uber is available if you don't wish to drive.
