Very neat house and we loved the court yard area. We had problems with a dirt pile of ants in the kids Pirate bedroom and in the master bathroom. This house was remodeled but it looks as though a lot of corners were cut and there is a lot of shoddy "good enough" repairs. The house is in a fabulous location, right around the corner from the Conch House which we loved!

Thank you for sharing your feedback and for highlighting our great location and courtyard area! We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with ants during your stay. Florida pests can sometimes surprise us despite regular pest control maintenance, but we immediately addressed this with our service team to ensure it doesn't happen again. We also take our home’s maintenance very seriously and appreciate your observations as we continually work to improve guest comfort. Thank you for staying with us, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a seamless experience in the future!"

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review! We’re thrilled to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed your stay. We appreciate your helpful note regarding the varying threshold and step heights—as with many historic-style homes in St. Augustine, these unique architectural traits are part of its character, but we appreciate you highlighting it for future guests.

Family Vacation St Augustine

The property was perfect for our group size, especially sleeping arrangements. The large table was perfect for cards and board games in the evening. We were minutes from our restaurant choices and the beach. I am very pleased with the entire experience. It seems like every detail was thought of and taken care of. There were plenty of towels for everyone, but we did run short of wash cloths.

Family trip

We visit St Augustine often and really enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect. It’s so close to so many of our favorite places yet still located in a cute quiet neighborhood. The home was very clean, it had plenty of room for everyone. The kids loved the games and pirate themed room. The backyard was our favorite place to relax in the evenings. We have stayed in several vacation rentals in St Augustine and this was our favorite. We hope to be back soon.

We really enjoyed our stay at Casa Mahon! The location was perfect with easy access to historical St. Augustine sites, shopping as well as the beaches all while having the comforts of home! Our family of 8 all had their own private, plush rooms that were beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable! The mattresses provided very restful nights of sleep so you were ready to start your day. The kitchen was modern and updated with all that you would need to fix a meal. The laundry facilities was a nice way to come back home without all that laundry waiting for you. I would totally recommend a stay at Casa Mahon!! Thanks for making our vacation complete!!

What a wonderful house! Very well stocked and organized. So many little things set up for guests like chapstick, shower caps even a pirate scavenger game and prizes for children. The beds were so comfortable and we appreciated the luggage racks in the bedrooms. All 4 bedrooms were comfortable and very clean. House was large and had a living room and a family room. We early birds could get up and sit in the family room and not disturb Anyone.The backyard was so relaxing and beautifully decorated. Can’t beat the location of the house it was very close to historic downtown but in a quiet neighborhood. One of the best houses we have ever rented. The owners were very easy to communicate with.

Great place to stay when visiting St. Augustine

The property is lovely and located in a quiet neighborhood. Upon arrival we found a gift basket in the kitchen as well as toiletries in both bathrooms. Each room was thoughtfully appointed . Our family of 7 had plenty of room to enjoy time together as well as privately . The enclosed patio is beautiful and provides another space for dining as well as relaxing . Beach chairs , umbrella and towels are also provided .The owners included activities for kids and great information ( maps, brochures) for all visitors. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Carmen Rivera

Host profile image
We love sharing our home with families looking to build lifelong memories, just as we have done in St. Augustine for over 40 years. Having visited this uniquely historic city since the 1980s, we completely fell in love with its timeless charm and finally purchased Casa Mahon over a decade ago. We are thrilled to welcome you to our favorite place on earth!

Why they chose this property

Davis Shores is a safe, quiet, and exceptionally located neighborhood. Our location offers unmatched access to historic downtown St. Augustine, beautiful beaches, and local favorites like the St. Augustine Lighthouse and the Alligator Farm.

We are a mere 5 blocks (a 1/2-mile stroll) from the foot of the iconic Bridge of Lions. Staying here gives you three fantastic, stress-free ways to enjoy downtown without dealing with the major hassle and expense of city parking:

Walk: Take a beautiful, scenic stroll across the bridge straight into the historic district.

Bike: Rent bicycles to cruise back and forth effortlessly.

Drive & Walk: Drive to the island side, park easily near the base of the bridge, and walk across.

By avoiding the main parking garage on the north side of town, you'll save time, money, and a lot of unnecessary walking. It truly is the perfect launchpad!

What makes this property unique

Beyond our incredible location, Casa Mahon features standout amenities designed for families to connect and unwind:

Private 9-Foot Courtyard: A massive, fully enclosed courtyard with 9-foot walls creates a total private outdoor sanctuary. It's the perfect spot for dining, grilling, or relaxing around the fire pit.

Two Distinct Gathering Spaces: > - The Living Room features warm tones, comfortable seating, a flat-screen TV, a dedicated laptop workspace, and a handy "drop zone" with plenty of hooks for your gear.

The Family Room acts as a second lounge with a great view of the courtyard. It's packed with a large TV, board games, a library of books, and a dedicated shelf with DVDs and storybooks for younger kids.

Four Uniquely Themed Bedrooms: Every room is a haven of comfort with plush linens and soothing decor. Kids and adults alike will love our custom themes: "Pirate’s Hideaway," "On the Beach," "Under the Sea," and the "Captain’s Quarters" (which features a private en-suite bathroom for your convenience).

Every detail has been thoughtfully arranged to ensure your St. Augustine stay is relaxing, fun, and unforgettable!
