I booked this quick weekend trip with a weeks notice for my fiancée and I. This was the best Property I have stayed at while using Vrbo! Very simple process. The host is extremely friendly and polite! The animals are friendly!! You have a private and secure space to relax after a day of exploring old town St Augustine which is a short walk/drive away from the property! Easily a 10/10 booking.

A wonderful place for two!

We loved this little cottage! Very clean and cozy, super friendly owner, and in the beautiful historic district. A very short walk to downtown and all the sites, plus the trolley tour has a stop very close by. We definitely plan on staying here again!

Bea was so nice and her pups were adorable. They played with my pup and made her feel at home. Everything was clean and comfortable, especially that bed! Loved the sweet back yard and how convenient the location was.

The space was comfortable/safe, amenities were gracious, and location can’t be beat! Plus, their sweet pup Howie had us wrapped around his finger :) My husband and I both agreed this was one of our favorite spots we’ve ever stayed at. We hope to be back one day!

Welcome to Paradise

We enjoyed ourselves tremendously at John and Bea's property. Very hospitable and comfortable. We brought our seven month old French Bulldog puppy Henry with us who became instant friends with howie the onsite Jack Russell. We'll definitely go back for another visit. Wonderful time.

There was an issue with booking, not the property, and Bea was great about getting my refund promptly. so even though we didn’t get to stay at the property, dealing with Bea was pleasant.

Our first vrbo experience

Bea and John were extremely welcoming. Their puppy and our dog got along fabulously. Great location! We were able to walk to restaurants and tourist attractions. It was only 4 miles to the golf course. I even went to a nearby church service

Perfect neighborhood/location

Right away it felt like Wizard of Oz, follow the yellow brick road to your guest house! Then it was cozy and clean. very accommodating. Towels, dishes, coffees. Was a very cool stay. Not to mention AUGIE the very Cool Gato. This cat comes when you least expect it! At just the right time you hear a distinct MEOW! Then he comes out of nowhere rubbing and nudging you for love. We absolutely loved him. Very demure, inside/outside cat. Overall the location is amazing and they even have bikes to navigate a very close to everything town. Thanks for the stay you guys.

What a wonderful place to stay. The added benefit of Bea's doggies made the trip enjoyable. Howie loves to play ball so anyone staying here be sure to take a moment and throw his ball a few times. Easy access to the Trolley and within walking distance to St. George Street. I highly recommend this place.
