It was a wonderful stay, the house was spacious and a nice kitchen with essential things you would need in a kitchen. My wife and I had had a wonderful time my family there. All the shops and entertainment was in walking distance from the house.
We had a wonderful time seeing the Christmas lights! We’ve visited St. Augustine several times before but never at Christmas…it was definitely a beautiful time of year to go! The location and accommodations were wonderful!
The location of this house is perfect. Within walking distance of everything. We stayed upstairs and also rented the downstairs 1 bedroom. The property was clean, updated, and had all the little things we needed. Will definitely stay again! Thank you Linda! We had a great experience.
We so enjoyed our week in St. Augustine staying at the Palm View. It was in easy walking distance of all the attractions, and allowed us to spread out and enjoy some down time as well. We loved the king beds in every bedroom. Linda was a wonderful host, very kind, helpful, and immediate with her response. I would highly recommend!
We did wear ourselves out exploring downtown and many area attractions. It was so nice to walk to downtown and come back to a comfortable spot to rest. The space was very clean. Linda was very responsive and answered a few questions regarding the area. Thanks for a great stay.
The location of this B&B is perfect. Within walking distance of everything you'd like to experience. We stayed upstairs and had two designated parking spots. A great plus for St Augustine. The property was clean, updated, and had all the little things needed in a B&B. The property owner greeted us and was very pleasant. She and her designated representative are very responsive and polite! Will definitely stay again! Thank you Linda & James. We had a great experience.
Great place, two parking spots, close to everything clean & has everything needed for your stay. I have nothing bad to say about this gem. Only thing I would need is a place for my furbaby to use the potty on site. There is an empty lot on the corner to use though. Over all 10 out of 10.
We stayed for a day, but everything was perfect. It is a great location, just minutes from downtown.
It was a bit confusing to find the parking lot, and the towels could be a bit better quality. But other than that the place is perfect.
We will come back for aure
This was a great property - super convenient to downtown, which is what we really wanted. No driving needed. House was clean and very comfortable. The only suggestions we would make is to provide frying pans - it was cumbersome to cook breakfast with the one pan provided. And to definitely add a window covering to the master bath window. We felt very exposed when using the facilities or shower knowing the neighbors could easily see in if they chose to. Otherwise, it was a wonderful property and we would definitely book again.
My family and I had a great trip and enjoyed staying at this VRBO. The location was fantastic and so we walked everywhere we went in town. We had everything we needed to cook, which is nice. The beds were super comfortable and loved that they were all king size. We'll stay again.
The location was great to either walk into downtown or a quick drive to the most beautiful beaches. The beds were SO COMFORTABLE and it was really a wonderful place to stay.
The unit is well maintained, centrally located, and the beds are very comfortable. Just beware that there is a unit below this one that can hear whatever you do (footsteps, talking, etc.).
Thoroughly enjoyed the stay...property just as described and very clean. Perfect size for 6 people. Convenient to downtown retail and the beach in a walkable neighborhood. Really liked the grill and patio area; the kitchen was fully stocked and even had an extensive spice selection. Owner was super responsive and dropped off forgotten face clothes within an hour of letting her know. Would definitely book again!
My name is Linda Bayles. I have been a Realtor in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area ranking in the Top 1% of Agents since 1998. In 2005 I walked into a 1926 beach cottage direct oceanfront on St Augustine Beach and knew I had found my calling. I wanted to 'Create' a vacation space for Families. Large extended families. A place were Cousins, Grandmothers, Uncles and Aunts can comfortably come together to reconnect and enjoy each other away from the demands of the outside world. I come from a large family of 5 children as does my husband, Brad. Some of my fondest memories are when we all got together to just 'hang out' for 3 or 4 days. The little ones always come up with a 'play'. The adults always congregate in the Kitchen passing down the 'Family Recipes' to the next generation and playing Games. We are a big Game playing family. Specifically Rummikub. We start them at 5 and My Mother is still going at 95. If you have never played, you must. I make sure there is one in each house. Once you are hooked and have one of your own, I hope you will think of your St Augustine stay every time you play.
So I bought that 1926 Craftsman, gutted it and turned it into The Chautauqua which sleeps 21. It has been a rewarding success. In 2011, my Father expanded the tradition and bought 4 homes on one Oceanfront compound on 9th Street. We could not believe our luck and spent the next year remodeling them into The Seaside Cottages. We started renting them in June of 2012. The Best part is not only the homes but the BEACH. There are only 18 streets on the “Best Beach” - No cars. No Catwalk. The ocean right at your door. Great Restaurants within walking distance. Amazing.
And then I discovered the charm of Downtown St Augustine. At night it is like strolling in an old European City. So in 2016 I decide to moved Downtown and renovated 4 more Downtown Vacation Rentals. Ranging from 1 to 4 Bedrooms all walking distance of St George Street, the Center of Historic Downtown and all the Restaurants, Sights and Music and only 2 blocks from each other. Great for Downtown Weddings with the Bride taking one house and the Groom the other.
My Goal is to provide the best vacation spot possible. I hope you will stay with us and create memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Feel free to contact me any time day or night.
Always at your service,
Linda Bayles Florida Home Realty PS: I am also a Realtor. I work primarily as a Single Agent. There are not many of us out there. Most Realtors work as neutral Transaction Agents. You can google 'Buyers Agent' to get an overview of the difference. I think it is big. Just ask yourself the question, Would I want the other sides Attorney to represent me too? That's it in a nutshell but the amazing thing is, unlike Attorneys, it does not cost you anything to have your OWN Realtor representing just YOUR interest. We are all paid by the Seller. So .... I would love to help if you are thinking about buying or selling in the area. Just call and I will send photos of what's available. Once here I would love to give you a tour of the area and take you "shopping". We can see about 4 per hour and you have me as long as it takes.
