Great Weekend Getaway!
We enjoyed our stay, especially with the ease of check-in and check-out. We were able to contact our hosts with any questions and they were more than willing to help. Perfect place to stay when visiting St. Augustine, especially if you want to be located close to downtown! If you drive a larger vehicle, parking may be a little tight, but other than that it was lovely!

Such a cute, comfortable little house! We loved it and it was just perfect for my husband, adult son and our dog. Walking distance to the historic shopping area of St. Augustine, just a few blocks from a great coffee place, a bike rental shop, and it was ideal having on site parking right in front of the house. The house was spotless, had everything we needed and was in a very quiet location. We will definitely come back, if possible!

Destination wedding stay
My husband and I stayed 4/4-4/7/25 to attend our son’s destination wedding at The Lightner Museum. Michael & Gia were kind enough to allow our small fur babies to stay with us on property which was very much appreciated! The home was very clean, comfortable and well stocked with all the necessary amenities. We especially loved that it was located within walking distance to the Historic Downtown area Would definitely stay again if in the area..

Great location and quaint home
We stayed as three adults in the house and it worked great. We walked just about everywhere throughout our week in St. Aug for Christmas. The interaction with the LUX team was spot on. We had a seamless adventure!

Overall a good place.
Great location, nice setup. Really enjoyed the back porch and balcony from the master bedroom. Within walking distance to a trolley stop, close to the Distillery and winery.
