birthday getaway
The Retreat met the needs for our stay. But we did find the room very small and pretty cramped for 2 people, in some areas single file for passing each other. You couldn't really tell this from the listing. There is not parking on the property, but we found street parking pretty easily. The outside lighting did not adequately lighten the steps and my husband almost tripped and fell. We loved the location, and the neighborhood. Communication with the owner was excellent.

Great day
My son and I traveled to Saint Augustine for a fourth grade field trip. This was centrally located annd easy to meet up with the other classmates. We walked everywhere that weekend. It is a small room but has everything you need for a comfortable weekend stay. There is a great coffeehouse around the corner. We walk to for breakfast. An access to the parking garage was great.

Perfect Location
This is quite a gem, located in a perfect location in the center of historic St Augustine. Although it is located right next to a Firestone, it did not bother us since we were out all day and they close at night. The neighborhood is quaint for nightly walks. The bed is comfortable and the room is a studio, small but met all our needs. It was clean and ready when we arrived. I was amazed how the room was arranged with everything from a sink, microwave to fridge. Our host kept us informed every step of the way! We gave it a four because there is a upstairs and you can’t help but hear them going up and down the stairs late at night and the walls seemed a bit thin as we could hear them talking. The air conditioner fan for that unit was right outside our window and kept on going on and off. It didn’t bother me as much as it did my husband, who is a light sleeper. These may not bother most. The location trumps all. I would stay here again.

Great stay in St. Augustine!!!
Room was exactly as described. (Clean and Quiet) Our host Huyen Le was awesome and very responsive to any questions we had. Room is conveniently located with about a 5 to 10 minute walk to historic downtown which was very nice. Saved us a lot on parking. Would stay again!

Cute Little Place
Enjoyed our stay in St. Augustine! Location was great, very walkable to attractions, restaurants, etc.. It is very small, but comfortable. We were in town only one night, so worked well for us. Parking is limited/tight on the street. We used the owner-provided parking pass for the parking garage which is about 1/2 mile away but a nice walk. Owner very nice and communication was quick and thorough during our stay.

Great Anniversary Getaway
We had the best time in St. Augustine. The space was exactly what we were looking for in our little retreat. The proximity to all of the local attractions was one of the reasons why we chose this place. We will definitely be back!
