Meet Your St. Augustine Hosts

Lola and Jon handpick every home and treat every guest like family, real local knowledge, honest details, and boutique coastal stays done right.

Our story

Why we built this

We fell in love with St. Augustine and wanted to share it the way we experience it, not as tourists passing through, but as people who know the quiet streets, the best light at dawn, the restaurants worth the walk. We built Sunshine Escapes around homes we'd actually want to stay in ourselves, each one chosen for its character and location. You'll find us responsive, honest about what each place offers, and genuinely invested in your stay.

What we value

More of our story

We're not a big management company running dozens of homes on autopilot. It's just the two of us, checking in personally, answering messages fast, and making sure every small detail is right before you ever walk through the door. That's the kind of stay we'd want for ourselves, and it's what we work to give every guest who books with us.
