Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
was absolutely perfect. The place was luxurious, spotless, and very well organized. The location was excellent and made everything so convenient. I truly had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.
We had a wonderful month long stay at Casa de Flora. It was so comfortable and homey, yet so elegant at the same time. Mary Ann was a wonderful host and thought of absolutely everything we might need. The apartment had everything you can think of to make the stay enjoyable. The beds were super comfortable and the front porch was a perfect place for morning coffee, games and book reading. We walked everywhere, to dinner, historical sites, ice cream, coffee shops, music and the uptown quaint shops. Loved Mary Ann and this beautiful home and hope to return soon!

While looking through rentals, I found that this property, as well as Bill and Mary, had recieved excellent reviews and feedback. After my experience, I must say that everything lived up to expectations. The place was perfect, communication was smooth, and the location made traveling around the area very easy. If you're in St. Augustine, I strongly recommend this one.

Beautiful upstairs apartment! Everything was provided, nothing was forgotten!! We wish we didn’t have to move our son in to college or we would have never left the house. Will rent again!
Casa de Flora is a lovely apartment in St. Augustine. It was just amazing!! The 2 bedroom Floridian apartment is beautifully appointed and had everything we needed and much, much more. It was just perfect for our visit. Our hosts were very attentive and made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay here again!! Thank you!!

My husband and I spent 3 glorious weeks in Casa de Flora "C". The unit was decorated elegantly, comfortably and was immaculate, and also well equipped with all the extras! The property location was fantastic, walking distance to historic downtown and the many restaurants. Better than a 5 star hotel...highly recommend...thank you Maryann and Bill :)

It’s in the details! And this place has all the little and big things that make it extra special. Like walking into a very comfortable home, not a rental. The scents, the music, the comfort and the decor. It has everything you could ever need. Highly recommend.

Thank you Kara! It was a pleasure hosting your visit to St. Augustine.
I stayed here with my finance and his adult daughter and it was great! So clean. Amazing details throughout this modern yet vintage feeling apartment. Beds are very comfy. The kitchen is beautiful. The owner really thought of everything as far as details. I love that it is away from the noise and business of downtown but still walkable. Would stay here again anytime!!
This is a beautiful property! So clean and everything you could need. The beds are so so comfortable! Open deck upstairs is awesome for hanging out. You can't beat the location. You can walk to so many of the sites and the shops. Easy to hop on the trolley, too. The owner had great communication. She was so sweet and left a surprise goodie and a welcome note. We'll be back!

We found this little place (Casa de Flora)last minute! Believe me when I say the pictures do no justice(everything was exactly the way it was pictured). My daughter was amazed at the different types of coffee makers :). This is an amazing little place to stay, very clean, very quiet and in walking distance to downtown St Augustine. We had no issues at all. We loved everything about the apartment and we will be returning!! Thank you Mary Ann for everything.

About the host
Hosted by Mary Ann
Bill and I own the 3 properties located at this address. We have lovingly restored them with the intention of proving an affordable alternative to 5 star hotels. With that in mind we have furnished the apartments with high quality furniture, art work and decor. This property has been in the Napier family since 1976 and was purchased from the original owner with ties to St Augustine going back centuries. The Napier family moved into the house next door at 134 San Marco in 1950 and were great friends with the owner. When he wanted to sell in 1974 he offered it to our family and we’ve owned it since then. For 40 years it was rented full time. In 2017 when the current tenant moved away we decided to bring it back to it’s original beautiful self and change it to a vacation rental. We have maintained the integrity of the original building while updating it to modern standards. We hope that you love it as much as we do. Bill and Mary Ann Napier
