WHAT STAY!??
Property owner COMPLETELY ghosted us. Earliest check in time was 4:00. Due to multiple reviews starting that the owner was frequently late for check-in we arrived at 6:00. No obvious access so we called the owner. The first call and all four subsequent calls went straight to voicemail. We waited until 8:15 for a response then booked a hotel. We finally got a response 3 days later - it was a note that we would still be responsible for the handling fees!! I suppose listening to voicemails can be very taxing. I can't really rate the property but the owner gets a zero. Don't bother booking this property unless you need some extra aggravation in your life.

This doesn't even make sense We are always here, hundreds of other guests don't have an issue

Place was old and needs updating
Homeowners live in back of house. Rooms were not ready when we got there. Wife used bathroom and saw bugs, she would not stay there, got refund, went to hotel and paid about same price. Owners were nice.

We don't live in a back house! The old " I saw bugs " bs Next time she is dreaming of motel 6 John, don't go for the unique and custom place. We had a good chuckle, we would have hired pest control had we known the queen was arriving

Eclectic and fun space
Lots of space, large rooms. Loads of interesting antiques and art. Bed was comfy, kitchen well stocked. Did not use the patio or the bikes. Off a main road, but very quiet. Owner is doing renovations on the house, but not a pro lem for us

Affordable but definitely not fancy
Convenient driving location to major attractions. Nice size space. Dogs welcomed. Only the check-in/out times were provided. Attempted 2 different ways to contact the owner for further information but no response. When we arrived at the check-in time of 4pm, we were told it would not be ready for another hour. After a long day of driving, the heat, and a dog, it was not very convenient to find a place to "hang out" for an hour. The place could benefit from a thorough cleaning and some care. The kitchen floor did not feel completely stable; the bathroom door to the bedroom did not completely close.

eclectic , unusual
Overall I forgot the things that bothered me upon arrival by the time our trip was over . That was due to the amazing good sleep I got and also the friendliness and good naturedness of our host. There were a few things I would've changed possibly but mostly I found all the things I needed and we were super close to the downtown area where all the tourist attractions are located. My daughter loved it as well. Hope to return soon .

very disappointing
We booked this property for a week, but left after one night. Host said the property was a "work in process", and was not lying. It's an old house, not well maintained. No sink had a stopper, so you couldn't fill a sink. Some electrical sockets had no outer plates, leaving exposed wiring. Wi-fi connection was sketchy. There were 2 small window units for air conditioning, but they were not sufficient for size of apartment and Florida heat in June. Floor was old and buckled. There was a small kitchen table, but it was so tilted due to the old floor that it was almost un-useable. Another guest tried to check in for an adjoining apartment, but host was unavailable. We invited them into our apartment, while they waited an hour for the host. This is not a place I can recommend.

Exactly what we needed.
Came into town to see a show and do some sightseeing. House was cozy and cute. Enjoyed the eclectic Beach Farm vibes. Pigs in the side yard was a plus!

Not everyone is computer literate
The property was great. contacted the owner direct. Had lots of trouble with VRBO. Will contact owner direct next time. VRBO not user-friendly to older folks. Will not recommend it to anyone.

Great location and awesome hosts
Super location close to the sites. The hosts were super nice and gracious - great communication throughout the process. Price was very good too! The place is right off the main road so it’s a little noisy.

The funny farm
The owners where very helpful and pleasant to chat with and had great suggestions for attractions and meals! The animals are all cute and well mannered lol. I accidentally started a day longer then originally booked and they was so awesome and let us stay the extra night. I will most definitely recommend this property and be back ourselves!

Laid back and roomy accommodations at great price
We enjoyed our stay at this fun and unique place. Owners were laid back and friendly, and responsive to requests and questions. (We left a cord there and they even graciously offered to send it to us). The animals they have were a neat bonus. My kids enjoyed feeding the pigs, ducks, and turkey. All we wanted was a no-frills, casual, place to stay and this hit the mark. Loved being able to bring our dog and we were only minutes from the main area of downtown St. Augustine. Will definitely stay again!
