The Rusty Duck will be a memory forever. My first time in Florida joined by two friends and it was a great experience. The fire pit was loaded with wood and there were plenty of outdoor games for after a round of golf. The duck pillow we named Rusty on the couch was a hit along with the availability of coffee and espressos. Would definitely stay here the next time we come down!

We had a great time and it’s clear that Samantha put a lot of time and thought into her decor- it’s a cute place! When we arrived it was such a pleasant surprise to see Christmas lights turned on to welcome us. Samantha was incredibly responsive and very friendly. I had to check in with her to figure out something shortly after my arrival and she responded immediately. The place had an “old-world Florida” vibe and you could watch the sunrise over the marsh. It was lovely!

We loved staying at the Rusty Duck! The kids loved making hot coco that was left out for our family to make along with some snacks and sweet treats. Adorable cozy and family friendly!

The Rusty Duck was honestly perfect. Super clean, beautiful, and cozy. It had everything we needed. The home matched the true and classic florida marsh style with the perfect touch of ducks. The location was great also; quiet and peaceful area but super close to all the fun stuff in St. Augustine. We visited for a surprise trip for my boyfriend’s birthday and it lived up to the listing and more. We especially loved the outdoor games and the fire pit area. Samantha was consistently responsive and made sure we were all set and comfortable during our stay. We would absolutely love to come visit again in the future.

Really enjoyed our stay. Such a charming little find. Would definitely come back and might have to due to all the things we couldn't get to in one short weekend! Was definitely worth the trip and Samantha is very sweet and responsive! Thanks again!

The Rusty Duck House truly lives up to its name! The fire pit and porch are absolutely next level, offering a perfect spot to relax and unwind. The morning view from the porch is stunning — watching the sunrise through the woods is good experience.
