Went on a girls trip to St.Augustine for a disco festival! And Lola and Jon made us feel right at home! Their home was beautiful and they were extremely kind and very responsive! Perfect distance from downtown. About a 15 min uber extremely cheap. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to anyone wanting to go explore all that St. Augustine has to offer. 🪩💃

This was hands down the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. The amount of thought, care, and attention to detail that went into every single aspect of this home was beyond impressive. From the decor to the amenities, everything felt so intentional and beautifully curated. We felt so welcomed, so at home, and so comfortable from the moment we walked in. The location was perfect — just minutes from town (everything we needed was 3–10 minutes away), yet it felt peaceful, secluded, and wonderfully quiet. It was the best of both worlds. The hosts were incredibly responsive, attentive, and kind. The welcome guide they sent was one of the most thoughtful and helpful we’ve ever received — full of local recommendations, house details, and little touches that made everything so easy. We can’t recommend this place enough — it was a truly exceptional stay.

La casa es hermosa, muy cómoda y limpia, en la casa nos encontramos con muchos detalles, había café té, especies para cocinar, la cocina está muy bien equipada y el detalle de los waffles le encanto a mis hijas, el lugar es muy tranquilo y silencioso cerca del pueblo histórico y también cerca de la playa, nos encanto nuestra estadía en esta casa.

We had a wonderful stay at Lola and Jon's lovely home in St. Augustine! The house was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing visit. The location was perfect—close enough to all the main attractions but tucked away in a quiet neighborhood that felt peaceful. Lola and Jon were fantastic hosts—welcoming, responsive, and thoughtful. They provided great local recommendations and made sure we felt right at home. You can tell they truly care about their guests’ experience. Highly recommend staying here if you're visiting St. Augustine—we’d definitely come back again!

We had a lovely time in Saint Augustine’s. The place was immaculate and had everything you could possibly need. So close to the beach in old downtown. I would definitely recommend this place and if we go again, we will stay there. Thank you for an amazing time in your beautiful home Allen and Joyce Bolduc

The house was amazing, clean and incredibly well equipped. Everything was spotless! Location was less then 10 minutes from historic St Augustine. We had no issues and were very happy we stayed there. When we had a question owners would respond almost immediately. A perfect place to stay! Dennis

Thank you Lola and Jons for allowing us to stay in your house. This place is super comfortable and super clean, super comfortable and cozy. There are not enough words to give you five stars, but I would definitely come back to this place.

We enjoyed our stay at Lola and Jon’s place and would definitely come back to this Airbnb! It was a quiet area (a must with a baby), and just a short drive to the night of lights in the historic district. Beds were super comfy and house was pristine!
