Welcome to Oak Canopy Escape — your home away from home. With 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, this cozy retreat is designed for comfort, relaxation, and unforgettable days of exploration in St. Augustine. Prefer a day in? Slip into your swimsuit and enjoy the private heated pool. Plus, your furry friends are welcome too — we’re pet friendly!
The Space:
This cozy bungalow provides guests with 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, an oversized eat-in kitchen and amazing open -air living space. Whether enjoying a family vacation or a getaway with friends, we can guarantee you will feel right at home.
A floor plan is provided in the photos of this listing. We encourage all guests to look this over prior to booking to get a feel for the home. We like to remind guests this home as built over 160 years ago! The character and charm makes it a bit different than the standard homes of today.
The home offers high speed wifi internet which allows for streaming services and multiple device connections during your stay.
In the living room, we offer a large flatscreen smart TV for your entertainment. All major streaming services are available to our guests so that they may log into their personal accounts during their stay. Please remember to log out prior to your check out
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the home, yard and all amenities! While staying at the Beehive, we welcome you to make this house your home.
The Neighborhood:
Nestled in a quiet historic neighborhood, Oak Canopy Escape is surrounded by charming homes dating back more than 150 years. The beautiful oak canopy-lined streets make the area perfect for leisurely walks while taking in the character and history of St. Augustine. You’ll also be conveniently close to local shops, restaurants, and popular attractions.
We kindly ask all guests to be respectful of our neighbors and the peaceful nature of the community during their stay.
Getting Around:
Getting around town is very easy with many options available to our guests! With many downtown attractions being under two miles away from the Beehive bungalow, guests can walk, bike or drive to all destinations. A short two minute walk to the Old Jail will give you access to one of the main stations of the Old Town Trolley stations. This is a guest favorite as it provides transportation as well as a fun history lesson along the way! You are also a quick 5 minute drive to the amazing Vilano Beach which also allows vehicles to park directly on the sand!
Other Things to Note:
While we want all guests to feel right at home, we ask for your cooperation in a few areas.
1. Please do not lower the air conditioning below 68 degrees or raise the heat higher than 72 degrees. This will ensure our air conditioning system will maintain peak performance for all guests.
HEATED POOL DISCLAIMER
1. We may live in Sunny Florida but the pool still gets chilly sometimes! Pool heating is available upon request for an additional $40 per day. Please give us at least 48 hours notice so we can fire up the heater - it takes about 24 hours to reach that perfect temp.
2. Florida weather is amazing and unpredictable! Due to this, hosts cannot guarantee pool temperature. We will make every effort to maintain a temperate range of 78 degrees to 88 degrees. Guests must advise hosts 48 hours prior to arrival that they would like the pool to be heated! Please keep in mind, heating takes time so guest requests are very important!

Near of the historic downtown and very close to Fountain of Youth, the history that the house have is impressive and everything was like the description.

Our host was the best!. Quick response when we need it and really a nice attitude. The house was in a wonderful neighborhood, close to a lot of attractions. It was clean and cozy.

Very clean, super cute, historic home! We loved making s'mores at the firepit! The adults and kids loved the old style arcade games. Within walking distance of pretty much everything. We really enjoyed staying here!
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
The property was in a very nice, central location. It was close to everything we wanted to do & the neighborhood was great. Unfortunately, the accuracy of the description of the property and the responsiveness of the host was where my review dropped. It took over 24hrs to get a response. The pool was NOT heated (as advertised and the main reason we booked this house instead of another) & no communication at all to let us know a tech was coming by early in the morning. The rooms were just that: rooms with a bed. No closet, no storage for any of our clothes or toiletries. The kitchen had plenty of plates & cups, but only one oversized mixing bowl. No food storage containers for those of us who like to cook for our families. I was hesitant to write any of this bc I have never left anything but 5 stars on any if the other properties we have visited, but I also have never experienced the lack of communication or lack of basic storage that this property offered. I just want others to know what they're getting into before they rent as I read reviews and none mentioned these issues. We only stayed a few days, but a week or longer would have been uncomfortable.
