The Big Sanchez - 5 BR-3BA - 1890s Charm

Summary:

This gorgeous home was built in 1890 and embodies all of the old world charm that is St Augustine. This 5 bedroom 3 bath historic home has everything a big family would need, space! The whole group will enjoy easy access to everything from The Fountain of Youth (just two blocks east) to a nice 15 minute scenic walk to Francis Field (concerts, Sing out Loud Festival) or Castillo de San Marco and then another 5 mins to downtown. Or just relax on the back deck with friends and family.



The Space:

First Floor:

There are two living rooms. The main living room is at the front of the house by the stairs. You will also find the first bedroom (king bed) just off of the front living room.



The second living room is at the back of the house where you will find a queen size sofa-bed and a comfortable reclining chair and it is located just off of the kitchen. The kitchen, dining room, and bathroom (with stand up shower) are also found on the first floor.



Second Floor:

The primary bedroom is upstairs with a king bed and attached bathroom.

The next two bedrooms on the second floor both have queen size beds and the last bedroom upstairs has two twin beds. There is also a stand alone bathroom upstairs that has a tub/shower.



Outside

There is of course a beautiful deck in the backyard that is lit up by cafe lights at night (they are on a timer) and there is a smokeless fire pit as well as a brand new propane gas grill.

We also provide 12 new beach chairs, umbrellas, and beach towels for your convenience.



Guest Access:

You will have access to the entire property. This includes a beautiful back deck and grilling station.



The Neighborhood:

This is a beautiful old street with many historic homes and a couple of small businesses. You have a short beautiful walk from here through uptown into downtown. It is a treat to walk and see all of the shops!



Getting Around:

The trolley stations are about two blocks north or you can walk right into downtown, which is about a 10-15 minute walk through uptown and many shops and historic homes.The



Interaction with Guests:

We are here to help with whatever you need, but everything is self check in so you have the privacy you want and deserve.

The host was friendly and responsive. The location was fantastic and the beds were very comfortable. For the price point, however, the couches and furnishings were super worn and the stuffing was coming out of the pillows and being held together with safety pins. The kitchen was pretty well appointed.

Family Halloween weekend getaway with 6 adults and 2 dogs. We loved everything about this house. Jason answered me quickly with every question I had. House had plenty of room to catch up after spending some time in town which was a nice 20 minute walk. Everything was provided and had everything to cook with. We really enjoyed the outdoor patio. I would have given a 10 if I could’ve.

Fenced in yard was perfect for two small fur babies. Entire home was clean and very comfortable. Host was very friendly and accommodating. The best feature of the place was the backyard. Outdoor furniture was comfortable and heavily shaded from the trees. We would definitely return to this beautiful, historic home.The 5 bedrooms and 3 baths were ideal and fit 9 people comfortably. Thank you to the host for opening up your amazing home!

Good Choice!

We have been renting single family homes in Florida for over 15 years. We thoroughly enjoyed this property. It is well maintained, clean, and has all the necessities for an extended stay; we spent the entire month of February in this house. We had numerous family and friends visit over the month, as many as nine adults at one time. The five bedrooms and three bathrooms accommodated us nicely. Everyone liked the house and in particular its proximity to downtown St. Augustine. While an older home, it has the charm of high ceilings, crown molding, and solid wood floors in most rooms. When you rent for an extended period issues do arise. The owner, Jason, responded quickly and fully addressed the few minor issues that arose. Our extensive experience with renting homes for extended periods dictates that you need a responsive property manager. Should we return for another visit to St. Augustine, we would not hesitate to rent this home again.

My wife, stepdaughter, and I stayed for the weekend and loved it. We usually rent a hotel when we visit St. Augustine but wanted a little different experience this time. The house was as pretty, warm, and comfortable; the owner was gracious with good communication. I have recommended this place to a few friend's and family that are looking. Was an A stay; next time I will have to stay longer.

Jason was an excellent host. We enjoyed lounging in the backyard and front porch. Comfortable sleeping rooms for our party of eight. So nice to park the car and easily walk to the historical district. Definitely recommend this stay!

Great Family & Friends "beach week"

Plenty of space to hang out in small or large groups, comfortable furniture, large dining room table for shared meals and games. Everything worked. AC was good, and there were more washers/driers than expected. The property next door was a bit sketchy and there was some construction going on over there, but it wasn't that bad. Close to many attractions and within walking distance of down-town historic area. There were 9 of us: 4 married couples (myself and my wife; our two sons and their wives; and 2 friends) and our teenage grandaughter. We had adequate parking for 3 cars. My friend flew his drone a few times, our sons and their families went to nearby beaches, we ate in some of the local restaurants or got takeout, or cooked in the kitchen. A great experience!

Birthday Getaway

There were eight of us that stayed for a trip for my boyfriends birthday. We absolutely loved the house. The kitchen was well stocked with plates, cups, utensils, etc. Beds we very comfortable. Practically across the street from where you get the Trolly and the Fountain of Youth. Its also about a 15-20 minute walk to St. George's street. Would 100% stay again if we make another trip to St. Augustine.

Comfortable stay for a short weekend

We stayed for two nights at this property and had a great time. The property is accurate to the description and the pictures posted on the listing. It’s a lovely and quaint house that matches the history of St Augustine. The parking on the property perfectly fit four cars and the house comfortably housed 7 adults. Although we only stayed for two nights, the property was definitely set up well to accommodate a longer stay to get to know St Augustine well. Great location in walking distance to the historic district, but far enough to be away from the hustle and bustle of a touristic town. Jason is a fantastic host who was always available and on top of responding promptly to any questions we had.
