About this property

HISTORIC DISTRICT ~ Walk Everywhere ~ Private Parking!

Step into the unique charm of Casa de San Marcos, a Victorian apartment that can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. This one-of-a-kind property features an open-concept living/dining and kitchen area on the second level, with French doors leading to a veranda. The spacious loft above offers a bird's-eye view of the living area. The main bedroom, tucked away from the bustling street, ensures a peaceful night's sleep.

The apartment shares this beautiful Victorian home with Luli's Cupcakes on the first floor!

Casa de San Marcos is in St. Augustine’s historic district. You are steps away from shopping, food, and other attractions. The Castillo de San Marcos, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, The Fountain of Youth, Francis Field, The Old Jail, and much more are within blocks. Our property is in the San Marco Shopping District and has a trolley stop nearby in the Uptown San Marco Shopping District!

This location is also near fishing, with the Vilano Pier just a few minutes away. There are plenty of places to put in your boat or rent a charter. Crescent Beach lies to the south, a few miles away for those looking to relax on a quiet beach or join the crowds on St. Augustine Beach. There are plenty of choices!

To free up your time for more sightseeing, you can have Walmart deliver groceries to the apartment's front door during your stay!

Great location and porch

Location was fantastic and easy to get to everything around town either by foot or by the trolley line. The balcony porch is fantastic and great for morning coffee or evening listening to the live music next door. We enjoyed it

Great place and location.

This is a historic home upgraded with modern amenities. Floors slope a bit, but me I appreciate the character of the home. It was well furnished and had all the basics for the kitchen to do some "home cooking." I would not hesitate to recommend or stay here again. Great for a families with kids (not babies due to the stairs).

Awesome Place!!

We just returned from spending Thanksgiving weekend in St Augustine and with this house as our base. We were so delightfully surprised by this house - it is very well done!! The look and feel of the place is just fantastic...and the location is absolutely perfect!! We did not need to use a vehicle the entire time we were in town. All of the sights and attractions are in east walking distance from this house. And the cupcake place (Luli's) downstairs is awesome!

Perfect Rental

We wanted a place for a week and didn't want to have to drive everywhere. This place was perfect. The driving we did was when we went to the beach which was only a short drive. The information center and the trains that go around the area as well as the old town were only a few blocks away. The apartment was in an updated Victorian house. The kitchen (which included a dishwasher) and bathroom were nicely done and we loved the big porch. A plus was having a washer/dryer. The pictures on the website are accurate. We would definitely stay at this rental again and will recommend it to our friends.

Great place to stay!

We can't say enough about this vacation rental. The location is great... Close enough to walk to everything, but just far enough to escape the crowds of downtown. Both tour trolleys can be picked up a block or so away & there are several restaurants close by...even gourmet cupcakes downstairs! We have been spending a lot of time on the porch just people watching with our morning coffee or after dinner. Definitely a plus, especially during the rainstorms. The owner did a great job of incorporating modern amenities while retaining much of the character in this historic property. The only caveat is no elevator which might be an issue for some... This wasn't a problem for us at all & it was clear from the description on VRBO. We definitely feel we couldn't have picked a better place as home base for our St. Augustine vacation!

Charming, well equiped home

Very clean, homey, nicely decorated. Has the typical old-home quirks: steep narrow stairs, slanted floors. step-up into bathroom a bit of a trip hazard. Great deck with a breeze very relaxing (could use a furniture upgrade). The music at the next door pizza place is very loud but stops around 9:30pm. The music played was enjoyable until they started kerioke - or the band had really bad singers. It drove us back inside but that didnt block out the sound. The main road below is noisy but the house feels private so it wasnt bad. Beds and bedding very comfy, nice kitchen. If you are looking for a quiet retreat, this isnt your place. But if you have a group of 4 people that are looking for space and an uptown location, its a great spot. A number of unique shops - and LuLu's Bakery below - are in immediate area.

Birthday weekend

We had a wonderful time here for my birthday. I love St Augustine and enjoyed sharing it with my family this year. The house is located in walking distance to all the attractions. Loved doing the walking ghost tour and the fountain of youth. Again all within easy walking distance. The house is very spacious and the front balcony is wonderful. Enjoyed sitting out listening to the live music next door.

Great family vacation spot

We stayed there for a long weekend. The location was great and within walking distance of most of what we wanted to do. It’s a real quick drive to Vilano Beach. You also get the smell of cupcakes from the bakery in the entry staircase in the morning. One thing of personal preference worth noting is that the pizza place next door did have live music until between 9-10 in the evening. My youngest enjoyed listening to the music from the balcony, but I could see that not being ideal for those who have really young kids or who go to bed early.

Clean, convenient, comfortable

The apartment was a great location to walk into the historic district or to the Ripleys Museum, fort area. Convenient to get to beaches by car as well. The unit was comfortable - the master BR bed was very comfortable. They provided soaps, towels, linens, dishwasher soap. The kitchen was well appointed. A couple of the frying pans could use replacement. The alley and driveway are tight, but I was able to get my large vehicle (Ford Expedition) in and out no problem.

Best Vrbo ever

This place was amazing! From the adorable interior to the proximity to downtown to the waking up to the smell of cupcakes (the dogs even licked the bathroom wall) I never wanted to leave. It was by far the best vacation spot we ever stayed in.

Our awesome trip to St. Agustine

From beginning to end just a fabulous experience. The house is adorable and very comfortable. We only drove once to go to the beach. Everything else was a nice walk into downtown. The girls next door at Scoops were so sweet and sold delicious ice cream. I had to go back a second day actually it was so yummy. The cupcakes at Lulis were equally delicious. Can't wait to return to St. Augustine. One of the best vacations ever. Gorgeous historic buildings and great shops.
