St. Augustine Trip
Place was nice and joe was very responsive and helpful.
Only complaints is the location showed it on the other side of a major road which added a lot of additional walking to get to the beach.
Check in time on listing was 2pm so we arrived at 2pm to a delayed 3pm check in.
Additionally the owner stopped by on multiple occasions which I found unprofessional.
Either way would recommend also note the master is not a full bath and he lives there so fridge space will be limited.

Quiet comfortable home
Butler Beach is amazing and super close by. This home was quiet and comfortable with comfortable beds. I am a sensitive sleeper and it was super quiet! We loved it and would stay again. Close to downtown St Augustine too and many great restaurants.

Joe’s Place Offered a Good Stay
Our stay at Joe’s place was good. The neighbor in the 3 plex did make parking in back lot a little challenging but we managed. Was a great place for us four adults and our two dogs. Joe offered to assist with anything that would make our stay more enjoyable which was appreciated. Would have liked some closet or drawer space for our clothes in main bedroom but other than that all was good.
My best friend and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was just right! These beds are so comfortable! It was waking distance from anything we really needed. Check in and out was easy. We felt safe and it was an easy drive to the historic district. We could walk down to the beach quick too. I definitely recommend staying here!
