Super cozy, classy home close to The Old City.

My wife and I came to St. Augustine for a long weekend and celebrate our anniversary. We we very impressed with the location and the beautiful views overlooking the river marsh out back ( With a grill also)! The effeciency was clean and even had nice paintings inside. We even had a bottle of wine waiting for us! The owners have done a wonderful job with the place. Walking the streets, exploring and dining is what we did. Everthing was close. We would come back here again for sure.

Relaxing

We enjoyed our stay at harbor island very relaxing and clean the location was great easy to get to all the places we wanted to visit decorated nicely ! The only problem we had was the walkway lined with bricks which looked nice but when your bringing in luggage it makes it difficult especially when your elderly

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.
