Great location and nice house... outside was nothing but weeds

We did have a great stay and it was super convenient to downtown. We did want to use the outdoor space for a small family dinner and it was so unappealing and overgrown by tall weeds we were too embarrassed to invite anyone to the patio.Otherwise, inside was great.

Great size and location

This property is very spacious with lots of room for family to spread out for fun on the first floor and sleep on the second floor. And the location is excellent -- within a short drive or a walk of many beautiful tourist locations. The rugs are spotted in some locations and the outside growth needs care, but otherwise it's very well maintained. Definitely recommend it for a larger group!

Beautiful home

We had a group of friends staying at this property for a wedding and it was absolutely perfect. The house itself is beautiful and it was close enough that you can walk to the historic downtown area in about 20 min. Perfect large, open concept downstairs area and large rooms upstairs with comfortable beds.

Great Magnolia Stay

We had a wonderful experience at Magnolia House! The property was spacious, comfortable, clean and well-appointed. The location was excellent for sightseeing and it was an easy walk to the Fountain of Youth as well as to catch a ride on the Trolley Tour. We really enjoyed sitting outside on the patio which was quiet and private. Would definitely stay there again!

Great Location

The property was beautiful and clean with plenty of space to spread out. The location was good with a trolley stop very close but keep in mind the trolley does not run late and parking down town is not easy. Thankfully an Uber was cheap. Walking down Magnolia Ave was stunning. Would definitely return.

Fantastic home base for St Augustine

We had four adults and 2 boys in the house for 4 days and it was the best we could have hoped for. The open floor plan and four bedrooms were perfect for us. EXCELLENT location literally minutes from the Historic District, and the Publix grocery store was a quick drive over the bridge. Walking distance to the Fountain of Youth and Old Time Trolley Depot (do the Trolley Tour!). AND it’s right off Magnolia Avenue, one of the most beautiful and photographed streets in the US. We had an issue with the A/C and someone was right out to fix it. Zsuzsanna was a pleasure to work with and should we ever be back in St Augustine we would definitely stay there again.

Baccalaureate weekend away

We had eight ladies stay very comfortably two nights. No one ever felt cramped or on top of each other. Three bathrooms helped. We took Ubers to downtown and it was always about $9.00. The house was stocked with extra trash bags and TP, and kitchen was well equipped.

House was clean. However It is a definite rental property, there are stains on the furniture and carpets, some of the items in the house are a bit worn and tired. It was one of the best stocked rentals I have ever stayed in. There was plenty of toilet paper, trash bags, laundry soap, dish washer soap. The one thing missing was dish soap for hand washing, not a big deal at all just mentioning it. We didn't spend a lot of time in the house, but I did see a cabinet full of games, which I thought was A nice feature. The one problem of note was the AC. on our check I received an email stating the ac could have problems if you put the temp below 68 and might incur a service call from the ac provider. I was very mindful of keeping the temp at the instructed temp. First night was perfectly fine. 2nd day, came home to shower and go out to dinner. I noticed the temp had crept up to 77. When we got home from dinner a little after 9 it was 81 degrees upstairs. Very uncomfortable, and it was very hot and humid outside . (It’s July in Florida) I contacted the owner, of course there was no one to service that time of night so we had to sleep in a very uncomfortable house that night. The only fans were the ceiling fans. It’s an older ac unit, needs maintenance. Wish there were fans in the house as this seems to be ongoing issue. We were told it was hot upstairs because we had the doors shut. didn’t appreciate the onus being placed on us for a unit that needed 3lbs of Freon added.

Loved Magnolia House!

The house was really lovely. Decorated so cute, lots of little touches and everything you need. We did have a hard time unlocking the door but you have to pull it towards you while putting in the code so that was probably user error. The master bedroom closet is behind the door, so when you open the door to the master bedroom, you won’t see it until you close the door behind you. We didn’t see it at first but eventually figured it out, we needed the pack in play that was in there. Other than that we had a great time. The house is located very close to downtown St. Augustine, just down the street from the Fountain of Youth, which you could walk to and a Dunkin Donuts at the other end of the street. I would definitely stay here again!
