About this property

Light and airy plantation home

Bright, airy, spacious yet cozy. This 3000 square foot home was originally a Nunnery that was built in 1900 and meticulously restored In 2010. Just a hop, skip and a jump to all of St. Augustine's downtown attractions and did we mention there is a pool? You and your fellow travelers will have a grand time cooking, relaxing, swimming and escaping from the hustle and bustle of the town, yet shopping, restaurants and beach... All within reach!

Beautiful home in a perfect location

The home is beautiful and very spacious. The best part is that you can walk to the historical district, with a selection of coffee shops along the way. The only days we got in our car to drive was to go to the golf tournament (TPC Sawgrass) and to go to the beach, which is only a hop, skip and jump over the bridge. I have stayed in this home twice and may go back for a 3rd time!

Annual Spring Trip - WSP

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!! The only reason I gave the 4 stars for Accuracy of Online Listing is because the pictures do not do this expansive home justice! The 'great room' area was lovely. Your library is impressive as well!Our group enjoyed cooking, lounging, swimming and the short walk into the historic district. The owners where great with quick communication, check-in was a breeze as was our check-out process.Thank you again for making our trip extra special with your lovely home!

Storm Vacation

We arrived a day ahead of storm and had rain for first few days but still had a great time. House is well equipped and very large. Had plenty of space for our party of 6. Contacted the host a couple of times and they were quick to respond. Loved the house and location. Pool was great but would be nice to have some pool chairs for sitting in sun.

Perfect Property

This is our second time staying in this home, and the property never disappoints. Home has everything you need, and plenty of the essentials. Love the open floor plan, comfortable seating and beds. It is located in a quiet neighborhood with an easy walk to everything in old town Saint Augustine. Perfect place to stay when visiting this lovely historic town.

Great stay and location!

Can’t find a better location. The house was roomy and had everything we needed. Nobody was climbing over each other. The pool was a fantastic. Directions on everything were clear. Easy off street parking. You need to consider this location. Note: there was no treadmill as shown in the pictures during our stay, but frankly, you want to walk, just head down town ( 10 min walk max) and you’ll do 3-5 miles easily.

Perfection.

The location was perfect. The house was perfect. The pool was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is within walking distance to all of the attractions. The playroom was so nice because you can close the french doors and the adults can hang out in the living area in peace. The heated pool was a nice surprise. Looking forward to our next visit.

Great visit

We had an excellent visit to St Augustine. The home has good character and offers many comforts. There are high ceilings, a nicely appointed kitchen with an open floor plan, and plenty of bathrooms, books, and reading spots. It was centrally located, allowing us to walk to most places including shops, restaurants, and historical sites. We minimally used our rental car. The neighborhood is soft, quiet, and full of beautiful vegetation. We loved the heated pool. We would gladly stay again if we were to visit in the future.

Great location and pool!

This home was perfect for our family vacation to St. Augustine. We loved the big common space and the fact that all the bedrooms have a bathroom. The pool is clean, beautiful and warm! The house is walkable to so many attractions and restaurants, we barely had to drive. We had two infants in our group and it was great to have the pack and play, high chair, books and toys at the house. We had one issue while we were there but the hosts were very responsive and fixed it right away. We would highly recommend this home!

Impeccable home close to everything

This home is one of the most well appointed and stocked homes we have rented. The floor plan is open. The heated pool was perfect for a winter swim. The kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry room had everything we could need making our "supply tote" quite redundant. The home is conveniently located with shops, coffee, and provisions just short walk away. We will be back!

Great stay walking distance to downtown St. Augustine

We enjoyed this property very much. It was larger than it appeared in the pictures. There was plenty of beds and baths for our group including a pack and play for our infant. Our toddler loved the front playroom (total bonus) and lots of kids books to peruse at bedtime. The outdoor pool area was awesome, and the pool felt very warm. The kitchen was well-equipped although we did not do much cooking. It was about a 10 minute walk downtown, which we did several times a day (it sure beat paying for downtown parking). It was a convenient few minutes drive to a grocery store and nearby Vilano beach and Anastasia island. Our host gave us some great recommendations for nearby restaurants and we're very responsive (although we had no problems with the property). We would definitely stay here again.
