It's a super location to walk everywhere, head downtown via San Marco or walk through the neighborhood and the Castillo. The water is at the end of the street!
A note on ambiance: It is a quiet neighborhood albeit connected to a very busy tourist town. You will hear people, cars, the cannon fire at the fort, church chimes and the occasional trolley in the daytime. This includes the Firestone during their regular hours.

Free street parking is available after the stop sign on Locust without yellow curbs (Hostfully link may be helpful) or use parking pass provided in room. Address is on card (garage is a block away). Recommend parking close by.

The little Retreat is a small studio suite with big airy feels and a romantic hidden vibe. Updated fixtures and an a-plus feel with the tiled shower and artwork. It has window AC unit. There's also a standing space heater for those that can never be too "warm" during the winter months. The space is not spacious for those that may be packing heavy but perfect for a short and convenient stay.
Free street parking is available; Do not park between the house and the stop sign. No Parking at the home. Parking card to city garage is also available. There is a pet fee of $25 cash per dog that must be left on a visible counter for cleaners (limit 2 pets)

Perfect for a couple, fairly close walk to downtown st. George st. Parking was tight but wasn't a issue. Enjoyed the stay and recommended to others!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The place was a perfect size for a couple and decorated nicely with modern decor. We were in Unit 2 which you can’t see from the front of the house. We were a little confused where to go when we first arrived. We called our host.. she quickly answered and guided us to where we needed to go. Unit 1 is out front and the other units you have to access through a wooden gate to the right of the home. Once you enter that gate you find yourself in a secluded and darling courtyard. Unit 2 was to the left with a private walkway and keypad entry. Don’t judge the rentals by the outside. We opened our door and smiled at this cute, little efficiency. We had a comfortable Queen platform bed, Nice size tv with Roku, small kitchen area with dishes, drip coffee maker (with coffee & fixings), small refrigerator & microwave, sink with dish cleaning supplies, full bathroom with towels, washcloths, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Also, included was a toothbrush and toothpaste, hairdryer, iron & ironing board. We didn’t need the parking pass that was included inside our room for a nearby parking garage but that would be a bonus for sure. Location was perfect to walk down to the fort, pedestrian walkway for shopping, entertainment and eating. We would definitely stay here again. Our host was great & provided a clean, tastefully decorated place. Offered nice amenities, information and kindness.

The Retreat met the needs for our stay. But we did find the room very small and pretty cramped for 2 people, in some areas single file for passing each other. You couldn't really tell this from the listing. There is not parking on the property, but we found street parking pretty easily. The outside lighting did not adequately lighten the steps and my husband almost tripped and fell. We loved the location, and the neighborhood. Communication with the owner was excellent.
