The thing we weren’t crazy about was the lack of amenities we’ve had at other vrbos, e.g., coffee for the coffee maker, salt and pepper, olive oil so we didn’t have to bring every little thing. There were no dish scrubbies or cloths, no hair dryer (even cheap motels have that). Our last 2 vrbos welcomed us with a bottle of wine. There wasn’t a guest book either which we enjoy looking at to see what experiences the other guests enjoyed. Because of all that, the place felt sort of cold and barren, not as welcoming as other places.

Thank you for your feedback. Most guests prefer not to use items they are not sure about, so since COVID, we do not list food items as an amenity. Sorry about the hair dryer; the last guest must have taken it with them by mistake. We provide a clean, clutter-free home in a great location near historic St. Augustine.  There is plenty of room to relax and enjoy the rustic atmosphere!

Great little home in the woods!

Nice, clean and convenient place to stay! We visited family in St. Augustine for Christmas, and found this place easy to access - especially with all of the holiday madness in the area! The house has a nice layout with ample living area space, the kitchen was well appointed and had everything we needed and the mattresses were extremely comfortable - I regret not looking to see who made them! Bonus: The host - Marty - was responsive and timely!In short we had zero issues staying here, and will consider it again for future visits. We highly recommend its more secluded setting, and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to others staying in the region. Thanks again Marty!
