Upon arrival, you`ll discover a spacious private parking area at the rear of the house, offering convenient access. Feel free to enter through the backdoor, leading you into the kitchen, or take a scenic stroll through the charming courtyard to reach the front door. In the courtyard, discover a picturesque garden retreat that entices you to dine al fresco.

As you step inside through the front entry, you`ll be welcomed into the main living area, adorned with generous seating and a TV for your entertainment. The staircase to the second level is easily accessible, and tucked under the stairs, you`ll find a charming powder room.

Continuing beyond the entrance, you`ll encounter the dining area, which opens up to the courtyard, and the fully-equipped but compact galley kitchen. Upstairs, a loft area provides a secondary living space with a TV and a pull-out couch, and an exterior door grants access to the backyard, completing the layout of this inviting retreat.

Additionally, street parking is available in the front for added convenience.

We enjoyed our stay. The house is quaint and in a very good location for access to the heart of Saint Augustine. Many restaurants nearby. We had 3 couples in our party so it was great that each room had a king sized bed and they were comfortable. We each had our own bathroom another BIG plus. The living area was perfect for hanging out in late at night, catching up. Over all a great visit.

Best Location Ever!!

I stayed at Casa Sophia over Thanksgiving with my sister and her family. It is the perfect location if you want to walk to where all of the action is. The house was warm and cozy and had that old Saint Augustine historical feel. Although we didn't cook a traditional Thanksgiving meal at the house, the kitchen looked adequate. The best part was sitting on the deck watching the people walk by.

Good value

Overall a very positive experience. The check-in process was seamless, location was great for walkable access to a myriad of tourist attractions, restaurants, etc. The only critique is that as a very old property, there was bad odor downstairs, but bearable. Good value for the price.
