Beautiful little retreat

Kinda like Goldilocks, I found everything to be just right. The comfy bed, hot shower, and even a washer/dryer which I was so grateful for. I'm hoping my husband will come with me next time so that I can stay longer and enjoy the peaceful outdoor spaces. While I didn't do any cooking, the kitchen seemed nicely stocked with the essentials. The owners made essential spices available along with coffee, filters, tea, and creamer. I really hope you enjoy your stay at Harbor Island, just not when we hope to return :)

St Augustine trip

This was our first time to visit the city of Saint Augustine. Which, in fact, is truly magical. Michael and Hyacinth’s VRBO was the perfect place for us! Close to all the sites and within a short drive to the beaches. The space was perfect. From the easy communication, great off street designated parking, comfortable furnishings, washer and dryer and lovely artwork created by the owners, this place is a winner! Our favorite part of this VRBO was the screened porch where we enjoyed an evening cocktail while watching the sunset across the wetlands. We absolutely recommend this charming old style space with all the necessary modern amenities for anyone looking for a great stay in this quaint town!

Charming Place, Fit Our Needs

Our apartment “A” had a rear entrance overlooking the estuary with a perfect view of sunsets from the screened in porch and watching birds. A big flock of white ibis greeted us the first morning! The location was pretty great for us to easily access the historic area, yet not quite so busy as that. The trolley goes right past the house on its next stop up the street, and we made use of that service for the first 2 days. The bed was comfortable and the other amenities suited us fine. We got help from Michael and Hyacinth the first night finding the station on TV that was airing the Super Bowl. The off-street parking was so appreciated, and the lights on the palm trees at night was a great touch for finding the house in the dark. Lastly, we were surrounded by paintings done by both owners that put us in a tropical state of mind. Thanks to both of you for your hospitality and kindness!

Cozy & Convenient

Very comfortable accommodations and excellent parking space. We enjoyed the location as it was in a quiet and safe neighborhood. We were able to walk and bike to the historic downtown as well as to Freedom Park which was nearby. It was nice to be able to return to our “home base” each day and having access to the backyard was great for star gazing. We would definitely stay here again when we are visiting St Augustine!

First time visiting St. Augustine

We were delighted with our little apartment at Harbor Island. This was our first time visiting St. Augustine and it was a welcome retreat to return to after a day of exploring.The grounds added an extra, ahh, to the peacefulness of the property.Should we make a return trip to St. Augustine in the future, we would not hesitate to stay at Harbor Island again.

Outstanding location and amenities

We found everything we expected and more at this location. While our stay was short, we were able to walk to the Historic Downtown and walk the streets during the incredible light displays. The food was unbelievable and we even visited the Fish Camp twice. Prices were fair and the food and service was top notch. The outside space made this stay one of the best we've experienced. Thanks for the great time and we really enjoyed the great wall art displayed.

We arrived late at night. Parking was well lit and labeled. Our place was well lit and the temp was perfect. The whole property is beautifully landscaped and super cute. Our place was great. So many more amenities than we had expected. We could have stayed there comfortably for a week. We were greeted by a bottle of wine and a bag of chips. And we enjoyed being in the historic neighborhood with a lovely short walk to town. Would highly recommend this stay and look forward to returnjng
