Very convenient to downtown Saint Augustine
Extremely comfortable, spacious, & well equipped. Felt like home there for the 17 days we stayed. Bed was really comfortable. Liked that the house was in a neighborhood. Only a block away and an enjoyable walk to a restaurant, fish market, produce market, & bakery. Danny, the host, was immediately responsive to any needs we had.

Beautiful place, just little disappointment the jacuzzi was broken and the sofa didn’t open properly and had stains. There was 4 people, one couple for the bedroom the other two one on the sleeper (closed) the other on the smaller sofa, but for couple is perfect.

Great Place for a Weekend Getaway!
The only reason I did not give all 5 stars was because the Jacuzzi tub did not work (unbeknownst to us beforehand). I would recommend adult bikes to be available. We recommend Schooners and the Winn Dixie just less than 1/2 mile from condo. Overall, the owners were very responsive to my concerns. We were also given some great recommendations for dining. We ate at DOS for a breakfast. We also ate at and recommend the following: Casa Reina. Coffee at the St. Augustine Co. Prohibition Kitchen. We also recommend Anastasia State Park. It’s worth $8 fee to be on the beach. While at St. Augustine Beach we ate at the Beachcomber on A Street. We will be back again!!! Hopefully stay at this condo!!! Thank you for the hospitality!!

Beware
We were unable to stay the full rental time due to a sewer problem that could not be resolved before our stay ended. We stayed 2 days before we were relocated to Mission Manor Chic apartment. Danny and Andrea Brown were great hosts until it was a concern or problem beyond just replacing a light bulb. I requested a refund of $150.81, the difference between the rental at the Romantic Downtown Retreat and the Mission Manor rental. I submitted my request over a week ago and have been ghosted. Their assistant sent a second request asking them to respond but I have not received a message from them. My request is not unreasonable. I feel their non-responsiveness shows a lack of professionalism and customer care.
