Of the places I have stayed, this is one of my favorites, and I am a repeat customer. This cottage is well appointed through the kitchen, beautifully remodeled, and within walking distance of the beach and restaurants and most importantly, the best ice cream on the beach. It is very relaxing for me, and even when it is just myself, it is worth the extra cost to me for the cleanliness and peace.

Three of us got together for an offshore fishing trip. The house and location were great. Close to the marina and places to eat. And while we weren’t there for the beach it was right across the street (we talked about bringing our wives next time since the beach was so close). We hope to come back again next year and if we do we’ll stay at Justina’s if available.

The house is beautiful & location too.
There was lots of sand under all the rugs. Mentioning this because of rules to remove shoes. We found spider webs & spiders. We assume the house hadn't had renters for awhile before us. Other than that we loved it & it's amenities.

Property was perfect for what we needed. Clean, nicely decorated, and in a perfect location. Beds were very comfortable. Communication with host was very good.
One issue was that the showers would not turn on, but since we were just overnight and going straight home it wasn’t too much of an issue. If we were staying longer it may have been a problem. When I mentioned it to the host she explained that she should put a note in the bathroom explaining how turn it on, as it was tricky. We tried everything and nothing worked.
Other than that, it was wonderful!

Great location just one block from beach! Also lots of restaurants nearby, which makes this spot very convenient. House was 3 BR, had all conveniences, and was very clean and comfortable. Would def stay there again!

My college daughter, her friend, and I spent a week in this lovely house and I must say it is one of the nicest, cleanest, most comfortable places I have stayed using VRBO. This house is well cared for, very updated, lovely floors, and in general feels like home. My family likes home cooking healthy meals rather than eating out, and there was surprisingly plenty of pots, pans, juicer, knives, serving bowls, and even some spices in the cupboard. All directions and house rules are clearly posted and easy to follow - like keeping sand out of the house, keep food out of the bedrooms, etc. It stays clean because it is kept clean! Laundry was right in the main area and easy to use. The other neat thing is that the street it is on is very quiet, the neighbors were friendly, and there was a great breakfast restaurant on one corner and ice cream on the other - we walked up there every night! It is also within walking distance of MANY restaurants. The beach is truly steps away, and since it is residential, it is quiet and not overpopulated. I felt more at home here than I can remember being away - very comfortable. We will be back soon! Thank you Justina!

I rate stays on whether its clean, quiet and comfortable and Bud's Lighthouse excelled with all. In addition, the location for us couldn't have been better. Close to family and excellent restaurants. The unit was clean with attention to detail, the bed's were comfortable and the neighborhood gave us a quiet visit. It was well stocked with everything noted in the listing. When we return we'll try to stay here first. Justina ensured our stay earn it's 5 star rating.

The perfect spot for a quick getaway to relax and recharge. Walking distance to a few different restaurants and close to the beach. The house was comfortable and the host was very responsive and knowledgeable about the area. Highly recommended! Can’t say enough good things about my stay with the host Justina.

Wow, first of all, it is even better than the pictures! Super comfortable home with everything you need and more. We loved the location, which was just across the street from the beach and within walking distance of restaurants, ice cream, shops, shopping, and right in the heart of St. Augustine Beach. Just a short drive away is downtown St. Augustine. We loved the relaxed vibe of staying on the beach and being able to travel into town for the nightlife and more hustle and bustle. Great to have a yard and privacy for the same price as a hotel! Justina was a fabulous host and very responsive to all of our questions. Thank you Justina for sharing your home and for a fabulous stay!

Bud's Lighthouse is AMAZING!!! Perfect location to the beach as well as many restaurants. The property has everything you need for a perfect beach vacation. If you're planning on going downtown (which we did) that's only 10 minutes away. Very easy to get an Uber. The house was CLEAN and very comfortable! Can't wait too go back!

The location was great for our trip as we were in town for shows at the amphitheater. However, the master shower was difficult to operate and the water pressure was very weak. Master bed had valley in it.

We recently had a fabulous stay at Bud's Lighthouse for a family wedding in town. Justina was an amazing host; she was helpful, responsive, and super friendly. She provided us with helpful information prior to our stay along with restaurant recommendations. The property is in a beautiful neighborhood just one block from the beach. We loved being able to walk to many different restaurants, an ice cream parlor, the diner, the splash park/playground, a souvenir shop, and of course, the beach!! We were just a 10 minute drive over the bridge into downtown which was super convenient and makes you feel like you have the best of both worlds. The property is clean, super homey and cozy, with thoughtful amenities like many extra towels, extra TP and garbage bags. We were so sad to leave but we are excited to return! Thanks Justina for such a wonderful family vacation!

We traveled to St. Augustine Beach for my grandson's spring break. While the weather was unseasonably chilly we had a wonderful time. The house met our hopes/expectations, and the neighborhood was great. We wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

We chose this cottage on beautiful St. Augustine beach to celebrate my husband's birthday to be close to the beach and relax yet be a short drive to the historic downtown. The owner is helpful and very accessible for any questions. We love that so many amenities were included making it truly a home away from home, including everything from spices to laundry and dish soap, and especially beach towels, chairs and toys. Thank you so much Justina! We'll be back!

Suffice it to say we thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay at Bud's Lighthouse! The house was welcoming, clean and cozy, the beds were comfortable and the kitchen was very well provisioned with equipment. And location... Just 3 blocks to the beach and literally within crawling distance of an ice cream shop - can't beat that! The house is a short walk from good restaurants and a couple coffee shops too.
The owner kept in contact in the days leading up to, during and immediately after our visit. Will give her top marks for that as well. In short, we found Bud's Lighthouse to be quite accommodating and convenient. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again, and wholeheartedly recommend it to other travelers as well!

We got this place for a conference weekend and a bit of r & r. Home was above what we expected. Great location close to beach, great food (and ice cream and shops. All within an easy walk. Justina was an amazing host and very quick to respond. We will plan more stays here if we need for this area.

The ONLY issue we experienced was that all the mattresses were very uncomfortable and the pillows were flat. We are used to traveling with our own pillows because this is a common problem when traveling, but there was no solution to the mattress problem. They all really need to be replaced. Also, the bed in the master bedroom sticks out past the mattress and takes some time to learn to navigate. I will have bruises on both thighs for quite a while as a memento of this trip. However, overall, it was a beautiful, clean place, perfect location, and we had an excellent trip! The host was very helpful and informative.

My family and I stayed at this property for a little less than a week in June. The house was very nice and comfortable. Cleanliness is very important to us, so we were pleased with the condition of the home. The location was great because it is just across the street from the beach, and no more than 15 minutes from the main historic attractions. The house was stocked with basic supplies, such as toilet paper and paper towels. Beach toys and accessories were also included, which was a nice bonus. We had a wonderful time and would stay there again. We definitely recommend this property. :)

Short walk to beach, great location
A lovely, cozy, quiet home very close to the beach and great restaurants. Out if the way of downtown traffic and was a perfect place for our St. Augustine stay. Wonderful communication and a seamless entry and departure. Loved the property.

Great house, close to beach & restaurants
This is a great house with a fantastic location! It was very comfortable for 2 adults and 3 teens, and seems to have been updated and "refreshed" recently. Location is super: just on the other side of A1A from the beach, you can walk over and be on the sand in under 5 minutes. There's a diner and an ice cream shop on the corner less than a minute walk away, as well as many other restaurants and shops within a 5 minute walk. Despite its proximity to A1A (about the 3rd building in), it's very quiet and peaceful. This house was really well stocked with everything you'd need for a great trip, including some beach gear, a gas grill and lots of kitchen supplies, etc. The property owner/manager is super responsive and really pleasant, and was great to deal with. We loved it and would absolutely stay here again!

HS Senior spring break
Perfect place to have the St. Augustine beach experience and the historic downtown visits. The beach towels, chairs, cooler, umbrellas and wagon to pull it all was perfect for our trips to the beach 🏖 The owner was very helpful when we needed to have something mailed to the house during our stay. If we make our way back, I would definitely stay there again!
