House was beautiful and spacious! We were 3 families staying together, and we each had our own rooms and bathrooms while also having great shared spaces. It is dated, but I think that’s part of the charm. The location was right next to 2 trolley stops, so it was easy to hop on those to get into town. The walk into town was also easily doable (20-25 mins).

Welcoming host and all around fantastic property that helped celebrate my Dad’s 80th birthday in a grand way. The kitchen was exceptionally stocked. My toddler had a great time with the toy castle, blocks and puzzle. The only trickiness was with the driveway and patio that created bit of a safety hazard but we just made sure we were extra careful.

We loved the Pillar Castle in St. Augustine. Super roomy and comfortable and plenty of places for freinds and family to gather. The location was close to everything and we were able to grab a ride share or shuttle to go to historic downtown in the evenings. House was very clean with all the amenities. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank You for the most memorable stay!!!

We had a wonderful time traveling to St Augustine to celebrate our son’s wedding at the Cathedral Basilica, and this home was perfect place to stay for our family. It provided easy access to the cathedral, downtown, and local attractions. The multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, living areas and kitchen were ideal for all of our multigenerational needs.

Wonderful Home!

This home is in the perfect location to explore St Augustine. It s just around the corner from the Old Jail where you can get on the Old Trolley hop-on, hoo-off tour. This was our means of transportation to and from the historic district. It is very close to the Fountain of Youth. And also close to Vilano Beach.

We loved the castle!

The Pillars Castle was amazing! We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay with our family! It’s about a mile from the “action” of downtown but a lovely walk with things to stop on on the way. Literally around the corner from the fountain of youth. The property was beautiful and the house was clean and spacious!
