Wonderful Place To Stay

This was a great place to stay. We have been to St Augustine so many times and have never stayed in this neighborhood. The location is so convenient to the historical district and it is also a very quiet and beautiful area. The home is absolutely beautiful and has all amenities we needed. We will definitely want to stay here again.

Charming neighborhood on the water

We enjoyed this lovely, peaceful location on the water and just short walks to restaurants and shops. Kitchen was fantastic and fireplace added cozy ambiance on cloudy, chillier days. Short drive to the beach and great neighbors.

Great home in a great location

This is a great spot to stay that is easily walkable to all that St. Augustine has to offer. Our 3 year old had a blast with us and the backyard is a perfect spot to relax after spending all day walking around St. Augustine. I’d definitely book this property again.

Casa De Lago stay

This home was exactly as seen in the photographs. After a full day of sightseeing in town, it was so peaceful to relax on the porch in the evenings with a cool drink and watch nature at its best. The extras provided by this host were so appreciated. There were games, books, extra dish detergents, paper towels, ice, too many to list. I will definitely look for properties by this host for future stays.

Perfect Location

From the moment we stepped into the cottage we knew we had found the perfect place for our mini vacay. From the beautifully appointed kitchen, bedrooms and bathrooms, to the welcoming and peaceful backyard overlooking the lake, what was not to love? Historic downtown close by and a walkway along the water was several of the perks. We enjoyed our last night relaxing by the fire in the firepit in MY favorite outdoor chair, the Adirondack. This home should be considered on your visit to St Augustine. We would love to return on a future visit!

Wonderful Lakeside Rental

We enjoyed our stay at this lakeside property. It was clean, nicely decorated, very well equipped and conveniently located. It was a bonus to have morning coffee lakeside while keeping an eye out for birds and jumping fish (we saw Egrets, Anhinga, and Pelicans). Also worth mentioning is the useful information the management company provides as we thought it made for a better trip/stay and the host and property manager were very prompt and responsive when needed. Definitely a premier host.

Peaceful heaven

This property was absolutely beautiful, so close to the historic district yet so peaceful and quiet. The house is so stylishly decorated but showcases the period of the house. Such high end kitchen appliances and super thoughtful items in the kitchen so you are a home from home. It was an honor to be the first guests to stay here. Would highly recommend staying at this amazing home.

We had an absolutely fantastic time staying at this property! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped the space was. The host was incredibly welcoming and provided all the details we needed for a smooth check-in and check-out process.The location was perfect, offering both peaceful seclusion with views of nature when enjoying our morning coffee, and easy access to local attractions (walkability is great). The amenities exceeded our expectations – from the fully stocked kitchen to the cozy living areas and comfortable bedrooms. We especially loved the outdoor space – perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring.We truly felt at home here and would definitely return ( and we are already scheduled). Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a top-tier VRBO experience!

The PERFECT spot for your getaway to St Augustine!

This property had it ALL…The backyard was our favorite. Covered porch with 2 chairs, trellis covered eating area, lit glass fence (so cool) and fire-pit with a starter pack of firewood all overlooking a beautiful, quiet lake. All of the rooms had king size beds which is hard to find in a rental when you are traveling with your friends. We stayed in the lakeside room which had the best shower with wall jets…I’m already getting ideas to remodel my own bathroom…lol. The owner was super fast to reply if you had any questions. One suggestion I would make is to know this house is in a beautiful neighborhood with full time residents so remember to be respectful.
