About

A coastal cottage with a hidden surprise out back. Past the kitchen and into the courtyard — paver and pea-gravel floors, plants climbing the fence, a fire pit at the center, hammock and swing under Spanish-moss-draped trees. String lights for evenings. Inside: a famous waffle bar for slow mornings. A family-ready home with booster chair, pack ‘n play, kids’ books and dinnerware. Beach gear waiting in the closet.

While we have regular professional pest control, keeping doors and windows closed when not in use will help minimize their visits.

Other Details to Note

While our property is not located directly near train tracks, St. Augustine’s charming train system occasionally brings the distant sound of passing trains. Many guests find it adds to the character of the area, but we like to mention it for those who may be particularly sensitive to sound. We kindly ask that no pets be brought to the property due to severe owner allergies. Thank you for your understanding and consideration!

Lola and John’s house was an absolute gem. The pictures online mirrored what we saw when we arrived. They literally have thought of everything when it comes to this beautiful home. They were extremely responsive and offered great local establishments to visit. The labels on the light switches were extremely helpful for my 84 year-old father-in-law who has dementia. The backyard space is perfect! We enjoyed our evenings telling stories by the fire. There is nothing negative to say about the house or our stay.

It’s a great place!! So clean and cozy. we have seen it in the photos but we were still in awe when we saw it in person. Great place to stay! We just wished we were able to spend more time in the house. It’s so nice that you don’t want to leave anymore!

Lola & Jon were exceptionally accommodating and kind, allowing me to check in early at 12 PM instead of the standard 4 PM check-in time. After a long drive down from Miami, this thoughtful gesture made a significant difference, as I was able to drop off my luggage, relax briefly, and begin exploring the city right away. The property itself was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Everything was well-prepared for my arrival, and the overall experience felt seamless and welcoming. Lola & Jon’s flexibility and hospitality truly stood out and set this stay apart from others. I would absolutely stay here again and greatly appreciate the effort made to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit.

Lola & John’s place is beautiful and inviting and comfortable. The whole interior is tastefully appointed. We felt as soon as we walked in that we had made the right choice. Our stay just confirmed this impression.
