Our party of six adults (ages 18-62) came to St Augustine for a family wedding. This house was perfect! One person in our party has mobility issues so the bedroom and walk in shower on the first floor was ideal. The home is in a great location, it was spotless and a great place to hang out and relax. We would highly recommend this property for a visit to beautiful St Augustine.

Just a short trip from all the excitement!

The property is easy to access and has a shocking amount of living space that handily accommodated a large group. It is also easy walking distance to a lot of the city proper, including one of the trolley stops that makes the weekend stay one of the easiest get-arounds I've had.

Our host Raena was very happy to help with all of our questions about the area and the nights of lights events. We were very pleased with the turnout. The house was ready before the time expected for us. The house is beautiful and very spacious for us. The location was nice and quiet. It is walking distance to some of the restaurants and downtown area. Will definitely make reservations again. Very Happy overall! Five star!

About the host

Hosted by Raena

Host profile image
I've lived all over the US but call Tahoe and St. Augustine, FL home. Decorating each house is a labor of love and I hope to create spaces for my guests that I know my family would also personally enjoy and feel comfortable in. My favorite thing about hosting is helping others find all the hidden gems in the places we love. We hope you make many memories and here to help in anyway we can.

Why they chose this property

I grew up coming to St Augustine every year to spend summers with my grandparents. I know everything about this town and am so happy to be able to host my own guests now. Because I love history so much, I knew an older home right in downtown was to me. With the backyard, we couldn't have asked for a more perfect second home.

What makes this property unique

Unlike many homes in Lincolnville and downtown, we have parking, a garage, and a backyard. This home is also much larger than most houses you'll find in the area - not to mention it's over 100 years old. Haunted? I'm not sure yet.
