Beautiful property

We had a wonderful stay. Property was beautiful and very close to Town center (about an 11 min brisk walk for me). Beach towels were even provided. Property was very clean, communication with host was very good. The best VRBO experience I’ve ever had.

Great home, walking distance to downtown St Augustine

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect and between the walking distance to town and the lakefront view it's a terrific location. We didn't get to use the pool because the air temp was a little cold this weekend. Looks nice.

Beautiful house close to St Augustine

My husband and I stayed in this lovely house. It has a great pool and the front overlooks a lake. The porch in the front is gorgeous with beautiful chairs to relax in. A great place for your morning coffee or eve glass of wine. The only drawback is the surrounding neighborhood. Some beautiful houses and some very old and in need of repair. Overall it was fine. Very convenient to St Augustine city center..

Fabulous Stay in St Augustine's Lincolnvile

The minute we walked in the door and looked out the expensive windows overlooking Maria Sanchez Lake, we knew we found a lovely home away from home. Well-equipped, furnished, and light-filled, the home was perfect for our extended stay. Coffee and breakfast overlooking the lake, soaking up the sun at the pool, and cooking in a gourmet kitchen culiminated in a vacation that was hard to end!

From the location which was walking distance to downtown, the house was fully equipped to cook meals, it was beautifully furnished, the back deck to the lake view was amazing, and the host was very prompt in replying/accommodating us.
