About this property

Historic Recording Studio

This property is a real taste of the old city with a musical twist. This is the original site of the legendary FishTank Recordings previously owned by the multi-award-winning songwriter, musician, and music producer Lucio Rubino. The studio retains its original layout with floating floor systems studio glass, and walls specifically shaped for sound isolation. The decor includes original art, playable instruments and framed articles of Rubino. If you're into unique stays with a little artistic flare this is the place for you. It's a short walk to the coolest places in town and the trolley tour stop is just across the street. The large backyard is fenced in and has outdoor covered seating, a fire pit, and soaking pool to cool off on hot days.

We enjoyed our stay, the place was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. It was also very well located only a few minutes away from the city center. Greg was very responsive and friendly and would definitely stay again if we have the opportunity.

We had a wonderful stay at Greg’s Historic Recording Studio. The place is seriously cool and has such a fun, unique vibe. If you love music, great decor, and a stay with personality, this place rocks!We especially loved the jukebox, the instruments, the artwork, and all the thoughtful touches throughout the home. It felt comfortable, creative, and unlike anywhere else we’ve stayed. We were also so grateful we could bring our dog, PJ, which made the getaway even more special.The location was fantastic, close to so many great spots in St. Augustine. Greg was a great host, and we would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for a memorable, music-filled, and pet-friendly stay.

We loved the house and the fenced yard for our dog. It was also perfectly located. We could walk anywhere and either direction was either a marina or lovely houses with beautiful architecture.

This studio was just right in every sense, especially how clean it was. The indoor space allowed privacy and having parking onsite for up to 3 was surprising. The convenience of walking can not be overstated - literally within 15 min. of nearly everything we did. Greg is a top notch host - gracious and welcoming.
