Reviews

Happy Bungalow stay
5/5 stars
I rented this bungalow over Easter week. There were lots of Easter related activities, and lots of guests in the area! My friend and I really enjoyed the Easter parade. It had lots of charm, local character, and history for St. Augustine. The bungalow is located uptown, easy walking to the city gates, St George, the fort, the fountain of youth, the church, and the trolley stop. The bungalow was comfortable and well equipped. The screened in porch was a delight for morning coffee and evening wine. If you are disturbed by traffic noises, this location is very close to US1 and you will hear traffic 24/7. Neither of us were bothered, since it is part of the experience! Two bedrooms were well appointed. Lots of games ( which we used during one very rainy, windy day). Kitchen had everything needed for meal prep, drink prep and small kitchen appliances. Having a washer/dryer was a bonus to get laundry done and not have to do that when returning home. Nice to stroll the streets around this bungalow, see the historic homes, the renovations, the character of the city and how the permanent residents take pride in their area. I would stay here again, it is very comfortable for 4, acceptable space for six with 2 using the living room sleeper. Back yard is fenced in, nice table with umbrella, and a gas grill is available. Also, there are many condiments stocked for food prep. A winner in my book!

Awesome place
5/5 stars
Comfortable house, very clean with beautiful decoration. Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you may need to cook or even bake. We especially appreciated the complimentary coffee. An easy walking distance from the center. We would definitely stay here again. One opportunity for improvement is maybe to put darker blinds on the bedroom window.

St. Augustine Vacay
4/5 stars
Very nice house, in general worked out well for our needs. The one bed is extremely hard - we ended up going to Walmart and getting a foam cushion to make it better to sleep on. Also purchased 3 pillows as the ones in the house have seen better days. If you're a light sleeper, you may have problems with the train and the nearby traffic.

Noreen, we are so pleased you enjoyed the house and it met your needs! We apologize about the bed and pillows. We will address these things with our team. We appreciate your valuable feedback, as we always try and improve our guest's experience. We would love to host you again!

Happy Bungalow
4/5 stars
Happy Bungalow was a great find for us. The proximity to the downtown St. Augustine area was perfect for walking every day of our stay. The unit was well appointed and nicely decorated. An ample supply of necessities was available to get our stay started. Washer and dryer unit was a plus and needed for a week long stay. Overall we were pleased with the Happy Bungalow. We were however very disappointed with the tv cable system. As sports fans, we were here at the start of the NFL playoffs. We were unable to get broadcast networks on the smart tv system, as there is no direct cable. The tv is is set up to utilize “apps” to watch anything. No broadcast “apps” were available. Unfortunately we had to watch football and basketball on our iPhones and iPads. We would recommend the Happy Bungalow as a great location to stay and enjoy St. Augustine.

Fun times in St Augie
5/5 stars
Loved this little bungalow! It was clean and comfy, decorated beautifully, and was in a very convenient location to all of St. Augustine's attractions. As avid St. Augie visitors, we've seen it all and stayed in all types of accommodations. This was one of our favorites. We didn't use the stove or do any cooking, but we could see there were ample tools and kitchen equipment. One thing that was not super great was the road noise from Ponce de Leon Dr, which is pretty busy, and lots of construction in the evening. We thought it would be a problem and keep us up, but we fell right to sleep. Lighter sleepers might have an issue. Also, people parked their cars close to or behind the driveway, making it difficult to impossible to back out the car, even though the curb is painted yellow for no parking. A no parking sign could fix that. All in all, an amazing stay and a happy family!

Perfect location
5/5 stars
Happy Bungalow was one of the best locations we have stayed. The over 100 year old home is tastefully updated but still keeps some old world charm. We really enjoyed the screened in front porch! Location is perfect… probably a 5-10 minute walk to St George St/City Gate end. We walked everywhere downtown. 10 minutes or so to beach via car. Also Walmart/Target is about 15 minute drive. We will definitely stay here again when we visit St Augustine!

Perfect little house
5/5 stars
We greatly enjoyed our trip to St. Augustine. We were very happy with our stay at The Happy Bungalow. It exceeded our expectations a great deal. Some of the things worth pointing out are as follows: it was very clean. It had ample amount of clean white bedding and towels. The decor was very nice and inviting. The location was perfect. It was a short walk from everything. Air conditioner worked great and nice big fans in the rooms. I enjoyed the screened in porch the most. We will definitely be coming back on our next visit to St. Augustine.

5/5 stars
Happy Bungalow is even more adorable in person and we loved every minute of our stay. It is very clean, lovely and had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable as well. It is a perfect location to enjoy all that historic downtown St. Augustine has to offer. Our family could walk to many/most of the attractions we wanted to see (Fountain of Youth, Castillo San Marcos, Ghost tours, museums, St. George Street). It is also a very short drive to the beach. itrip has excellent communication and customer service! They responded immediately to any questions we had.

4/5 stars
My husband and adult son enjoyed the 1919 Bungalow. It was neat and clean inside. It has a nice screened porch on front with seating for 4, but the floor and tables had layer of black dust, if bare feet they got black too. I cleaned off the tables. It is 1 1/2 bath, I thought it was 2 bath when I booked, my mistake, but it was ok for us. Be careful exiting the half bath if you are over 6 ft, it has a low doorway, we called it the Hobbit bathroom. ( it is a remodeled old house afterall) There are plenty of fluffy white towels and extra pillows and linens. The sofa is a sleeper sofa. 2 cable TVs Fully equipped kitchen, 2 types of coffee pots, K cup and brew. There is table and 4 chairs out back and grill, with a private fenced little yard, which could really be cute with some colorful shrubs. There is a lovely fragrant vine growing up the large tree, I think it is Jasmine, it smells so good. The house is near US 1, you can watch the traffic from the porch and hear the trains rumble by but not the horns because crossings are far enough away and our son loves to watch trains so it was good for us. We walked to the shopping and restaurant area several times, we love that area.

Happiest Bungalow!

We thoroughly enjoyed our long weekend stay at the Bungalow! The 100+ year old, updated home was clean, cozy and very comfortable for four adults. Within a 5-10 minute walk to the north end of downtown St. Aug (at the fort and the historic gates), maybe 15-20 min to the south side of the historic district. We would definitely come back again if we make a return trip.

The Cottage
2/5 stars
If you are looking for a place within walking distance to everything, this could be the place. It's very cute and comfortable inside, beds are great, kitchen is well equipped with all good appliances. However, if you drove by this house before making a decision to book, you might want to reconsider. The front and back yards are a mess. The back yard is not kept at all therefore the rear table and chairs are useless. The front steps and lovely screen porch are so dirty you can't possibly go bare feet because they would be black, of course tracking this dirt/mold into the house. Comfortable chairs are on the screen porch. Owners should clean up their act and fix these distasteful and nasty situations. Also the location is adjacent to a restaurant and a run down property.

My stay the Happy Bungalow in St. Augustine
5/5 stars
My stay in the Happy Bungalow was excellent in every way. The accommodations were meticulously clean. Who ever decorated it did a great job. Even though it’s close to Ponce Deleon Blvd and a train track you would never know it. I was a little concerned about that before I got there but quickly realized it was not an issue at all. The location was perfect, it’s a short walk to the historic downtown area and a short walk to the north part of town also. Vilano Beach is 10 minutes away and St. Augustine Beach is about 12-15 minutes if that. Bottom line, I liked everything about my stay. I will be stay there again!!!
