If you mostly want to just relax, maybe read a book, this is the place. If you want to get out it's an easy walk to downtown if your reasonably fit or you can drive to the beach or other attractions on Anastasia Island.The studio was very well equipped.

(They made my wife and I feel extra special since it was our anniversary: a beautiful card and a bottle of prosecco were waiting for us upon arrival.) Their guest apartment was a comfy, clean place to stay and had all the amenities you could want. The grounds/pool/gardens were exceptional - what a lovely escape.

My wife and I just spent 4 nights at Paradise Found and did not want to leave! The attention to detail throughout the property was stunning. The accommodations were more than adequate from the comfortable bed to the bathroom, and the small kitchenette. We prepared light meals and used the grill a few times. The star of the show were the grounds. We spent most of our time out by the pool, checking out the lush gardens throughout the property, and biking around the neighborhood. The hosts occasionally checked in on us while we were exploring and offered up lots of interesting history of the area/neighborhood. We found their dining and entertainment recommendations very useful as well. This was easily the best short term rental experience we have ever had and can't wait to return! ##### Shawn W.

This oasis is stunning! With small path ways all over the property leading you to one private area after another through out the beautiful lush landscaping makes you want to book another night or come again for another stay! Morning coffee over looking the koi pond and afternoon soaks in the pool/spa is how we spent our days. So close to the downtown hustle and bustle it’s truly an escape from all the tourist fun. The host we very very accommodating and a pleasure to speak with. They created this resort themselves and you can see the love they have poured into it. Stay here and I guarantee you won’t want to leave!! ##### David W.

The property is peaceful, breathtaking, and filled with the kind of energy that helps you instantly disconnect from the chaos of everyday life.At times, it felt like we were on our own private island, completely removed from the world. The pool and surrounding ambience were absolutely perfect—every corner offered something beautiful to take in, whether it was the sound of the breeze, the view of the sky, or the gentle rustle of the trees.A special thank you to Jed, who kindly offered us plant clippings because we couldn’t stop admiring the stunning landscaping. That small gesture truly speaks to the thoughtfulness and love poured into this space.Every detail of our stay was so well thought out, and the hospitality made it all the more meaningful. We left feeling refreshed, grateful, and already dreaming of our next visit. ##### Claudia P.

We visited St. Augustine to celebrate our anniversary, and we were greeted with flowers, a card and a bottle of champagne. A very thoughtful gesture on behalf of David and Jed. The property is just a short 10 minute walk across the Bridge of Lions to all the things you want to see in the downtown area. It is located in a quiet neighborhood, with no traffic, or noise of any kind. The inside is not a huge space, but it has everything you need. The beauty and seclusion of the outdoor space, with multiple sitting areas around the pool/spa, was priceless. Knowing the pool/spa were waiting for us after a day of sightseeing was our favorite part of this rental property. David and Jed could not have been nicer. They were so helpful with any questions we had about St. Augustine, places to visit or restaurants to try. If we visit St. Augustine again, this will be the first place we will look to stay. ##### Scott R.

Dave & Jed were incredibly friendly and the property was so beautiful. The backyard oasis was a wonderful place to spend a day in the sun on our trip and was secluded.

Upon arrival seeing the gardens for the first time was unbelievable it looked like a private rain forrest. The private pool was amazing and so much fun. The room was very clean and had everything we needed. Town was quick walk or drive away. The host are very helpful and nice. If you need a beautiful place to stay close to St Augustine this is it! ##### Pamela C.

This property is extremely clean and perfect for one or two adults looking to stay in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance to many bars, restaurants, shops and historic sites. If you like to grill, check out Chop Shop (within easy walking or biking distance) for fresh seafood, produce and good wine. David and Jed are friendly and accommodating and take pride in offering their guests full use of the gorgeous courtyard-esque grounds that are beautifully lit at night for a romantic spa experience. We would stay here again! ##### Valerie C. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2022 ---
