Wonderful Lakeside Rental
We enjoyed our stay at this lakeside property. It was clean, nicely decorated, very well equipped and conveniently located. It was a bonus to have morning coffee lakeside while keeping an eye out for birds and jumping fish (we saw Egrets, Anhinga, and Pelicans). Also worth mentioning is the useful information the management company provides as we thought it made for a better trip/stay and the host and property manager were very prompt and responsive when needed. Definitely a premier host.

Ausgezeichnet!!
Had a wonderful relaxing time sitting watching the birds (anhingas, ibis, osprey, herons etc)... as well as watching the firepit at night. The amenities exceeded our expectations (we fell in love with your kitchen). The location is perfectly situated. We enjoyed walking the old streets of Lincolnville and the short walk to downtown Saint Augustine. Thank you Volkmar for thinking of everything! P.s. If you have read this far...just book it! This is an excellent choice!

The Greatest VRBO site ever
The Splendor on the Lake was amazing. It had all updated appliances, newly renovated bathrooms, and kitchen, The deck on the lake was beautiful and the firepit was a hit every night. The hospitality of the owner, providing us with some items needed to prepare meals and do our laundry was over and above the norm. We enjoyed sitting on the deck in the Mornings and the fire pit at night. we will definitely rent this house again. We have stayed in a lot of rentals but this house far exceeds any of those. We look forward to our next visit.

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.
