50th Anniversary trip.
Casa del Lago was exactly as described and portrayed! What an awesome house and lovely view! it was squeaky clean, roomy, modernized, stocked with everything one would need to feel like "home" for the week, quiet, decorated lovely and tastefully, and met all of needs! Everywhere we needed or wanted to go to were easily accessible by car or walking. This was our best VRBO booking over the years! The host and property manager couldn't have been more accommodating, professional, and personable. We will be back!

Blue House on the Lake
We had an amazing time! The house was absolutely gorgeous. We especially loved the back porch and view! It was in a nice quiet location, and close enough to downtown and beaches that we could enjoy those as well. The house was clean and updated. It was easy to check in and out. Definitely would recommend this place and would love to go back!

This is a great spot to stay that is easily walkable to all that St. Augustine has to offer. Our 3 year old had a blast with us and the backyard is a perfect spot to relax after spending all day walking around St. Augustine. I’d definitely book this property again.

Great Property
The house was great! Furnished with high end features. It was acquired by owner last year and felt brand new because he sparred no expense in refurbishing. The lakeview was really nice and the neighborhood was very quiet. Fire pit was a great feature and we used it nightly. Would highly recommend to everyone.

Awesome House + Great Location
This house was everything described and then some! We arrived thanksgiving evening with our meal to cook. Kitchen has been completely remodeled with high end appliances and everything we needed. The view and comfort of the back porch was amazing - I spent about 50% of my time out there. Walking distance to old towne. Comfortable beds and awesome master shower. Management was extremely easy to deal with. This is saved as one of my favorites to stay in again.

Sistas' Getaway
We (five sisters in our golden years) enjoyed a three-night stay in this charming home on the lake. Loved stargazing and birdwatching outside, as well as glimpsing the horse-drawn buggies clopping along the road across the lake. Inside was cozy and clean (although we didn't fully know how to use the sophisticated kitchen equipment). Enjoyed the trolley ride around downtown, seeing the Christmas light displays, and eating at Catch 27 and Meehans. Definitely enjoyed our stay and feel comfortable recommending this place to others.

Spectacular!
I've stayed in several places over the past couple years. This property is at the top of the list. All the amenities listed are first rate all the way. The appliances and kitchen utensils are better than what I have in my home. Beds and showers are great. Plenty of counter space in the bathrooms. Located right on a nice walking path along the lake is perfect for a morning walk or to watch wildlife in and around the lake. If you rent here, you will not be disappointed!

Fantastic vacation property!
This place made for a wonderful trip. First impression was that the place was bright, immaculate and ordered. The furniture was comfortable and...convenient. The appliances were top-notch and almost every table-top lamp had a USB.and USB-C attached to it. TVs were in the living area and the bedrooms. They were wifi connected with Samsung TV channels. Samsung washer/dryer was great. Mielle appliances in the kitchen (very fancy). Bathroom were well-appointed. Towels were comfortable. Baths had containers or soaps/shampoo/conditioner. Equipped with hair dryers. Important: bathrooms had the good toilet paper. Beds were comfortable and provided a good night's sleep. Cool lighting fixtures were in all rooms. The AC had a Nest setup which was pretty intuitive to use. All in all, I would definitely lease this B&B again. The owners were fantastic. Highly recommended!

Clean, comfortable, cute, great location
Our family of 5 with 21 year old daughter, 19 & 16 year old sons loved this house. It’s in a historical neighborhood, close to downtown, with a beautiful place to sit on the porch with your coffee in the morning and cocktail at night looking over the lake. Every detail was perfect-bug spray on the porch, bedside lights with plugins for our tech, comfortable mattresses, high end appliances and finishes, the cleanliness, info about everything nearby, and a good price point. We will definitely try to stay here again!

Peaceful heaven
This property was absolutely beautiful, so close to the historic district yet so peaceful and quiet. The house is so stylishly decorated but showcases the period of the house. Such high end kitchen appliances and super thoughtful items in the kitchen so you are a home from home. It was an honor to be the first guests to stay here. Would highly recommend staying at this amazing home.
