Guesthouse w/ Balcony · Walk to Downtown · Bikes

Two blocks from St. George Street, a private guesthouse is waiting for you — perched above a quiet garage, tucked beneath a canopy of old trees. Salt air drifts through the windows at dusk. In winter, the city's famous Nights of Lights glow just around the corner. Inside: a queen bed with soft cotton linens, a full kitchen, a private patio, and bikes ready to take you anywhere. This is where you slow down, breathe out, and remember why you came.

WHO THIS HOME IS BEST FOR



Couples on a romantic weekend. The queen bedroom, private patio, and walkable location were designed for two. Arrive Friday evening, walk to dinner on St. George Street, and wake up Saturday with nowhere to be.



First-time visitors. Being eight minutes from the old city walls gives you the full experience — brick streets at night, the Castillo at golden hour, the spontaneity that only real proximity delivers.



Pet owners. Pets are welcome ($50 fee) and the fenced backyard gives your dog room to roam. St. Augustine is dog-friendly — many outdoor dining spots and waterfront paths welcome well-behaved animals. Not suitable for children.



History and architecture lovers. A 400-year-old fort, Spanish colonial streets, and a Gilded Age campus — all within 15 minutes on foot.



Couples during Nights of Lights (November–January). The guesthouse sits inside the glow. Walking the lit streets after dark is something people plan return trips around.



GUEST ACCESS



The entire guesthouse is yours — private entrance via keypad, private patio, shared fenced backyard, and garage bikes at no charge.



Check-in is self-guided: your door code arrives before you do. Tim is highly responsive throughout your stay but the space is built for independent arrival. Entrance is accessed by an exterior staircase above the garage. Bikes are in the garage, free for all guests.



PARKING



One free reserved driveway parking space held for the duration of your stay. In St. Augustine's historic district, private off-street parking is a genuine luxury — paid lots near the core run $15–25 per day and metered spots fill fast on weekends.



Park once. Use the bikes. The entire historic district is within easy cycling distance, and beaches are under 15 minutes by car.



HOUSE RULES



Check-in after 4:00 PM · Check-out before 10:00 AM · Maximum 2 guests

Not suitable for children · Pets welcome with a $50 fee (note at booking)



This is a quiet residential street in the historic district. Please respect the neighborhood after 10 PM. Outdoor spaces are shared — keep evening noise conversational. No smoking anywhere on the property. A smoke alarm is installed and maintained.



If something needs attention, tell Tim before check-out. He responds quickly. Guests who give him the chance to help consistently report better experiences than those who note concerns only after leaving.
