St. Augustine birthday trip
This property was perfectly located for our trip, a short walk from downtown and very quiet. The neighborhood has signs all over that they were opposed to short term rentals but we never encountered any issues from that. Everyone slept well, all the appliances worked as they should. It was nice to have a driveway with free parking. Overall we really enjoyed our stay

Amazing neighborhood and accomodations
The house is well taken care, is very cute, and sits in Lincolnville, which was a surprise to me. It is very close to the historic St Augustine downtown (15 minute leisurely walk) but is 100% residential. The feel is that you are living there, not vacationing! We loved it, being our second time in the area.
Both rooms have Sleep Number beds which were amazing. The furniture is all of good quality, not some of the cheap stuff you see at a lot of short term rentals - comfortable couch, nice looking decor. The bathroom is pretty small, but the whole house is, without being too cramped.
The only two comments I'd make:
1. The home has everything you may need in the kitchen - pots, pans, utensils, knives, even spices, salt sugar, etc - except a dishwasher :-) I left a suggestion in the guest book about it.
2. Although the house was super clean, some items could use a little attention every once in a while (the blinds were dirty, and the ceiling fan blades were very dusty).
Other than that... superb service and a great place to stay!!!
