Funny Farm "For Whom the Bed Tolls"

We took an old retirement home (not the quaint type) and made it livable. With all the extra space we decided to offer it to travelers and vacationers. This space is a studio with an eating area, a nice private garden deck. The best part is the king bed, with a luxury 4 inch real feather bed topper . We originally called it the funny farm not only to honor the crazy old people who used to live here, but because we have a menagerie of pets that include chickens, potbelly pig, and a turkey. We aimed to make a comfortable, easy going, and eclectic interesting style. we are always evolving and adding new things to make for a memorable visit!.

We are 2.4 miles from the historic center, and about the same to the nearest beach. We live at the property, so we are available for any needs. Mostly advice on secret free parking areas, the authentic good restaurants, etc.

This is Florida, there are bugs, palmetto bugs look like giant cockroaches you may see one. We try to balance with our pest control people keeping the pests away and not spraying tons of toxic chemicals all over.

A comfortable and unique place to stay
We had a wonderful time in St Augustine and enjoyed Funny Farm. It was very comfortable and well-stocked. As advertised, it's an older building so folks need to keep that in mind. For budget conscious lodging, we thought it was homey and pleasant. Friends rented the unit next door for two nights and were also very happy.

The owners of this property are very nice people, but their cottage is not ready to qualify as a legitimate B&B. First, our arrival took them by surprise; they hadn't realized the cottage was booked: bed wasn't made; nothing had been dusted; floors not vacuumed or mopped; not even an extra roll of toilet paper. We didn't even bother looking for a refrigerator, microwave, or coffeemaker. Comfortable bed but the bathroom floor is a cave-in waiting to happen. Big, ugly, chunky putty all around the shower stall where it obviously flooded, probably more than once. The room was not heated (temp in the lower 40s that night), and when we tried to use the portable heater they provided, it kept short-circuiting the power. We had to call the owners three times in the middle of the night to restore the breaker. We finally just gave up and slept without heat the rest of the night. Got up early the next morning and left, not willing to stay the second night of our planned trip. Bottom line, don't stay here. And we believe a refund is in order.

Right at home
This property begs you to relax and not sweat the small stuff. It provides everything you may need (even Q-tips!) without making you feel like everything has to be just so. The host is genuine and kind, the neighborhood great for walking pups and perfectly located nearby whatever you choose to do.

Not your usually Funny Farm
I have to admit that staying at the Funny Farm was a lot more enjoyable than the name might suggest. The owner is charming, the room excellent and being dog friendly made for a great stay with our two cockatoos. Would recommend to anyone who likes a VRBO with lots of character and easy access to downtown St. Augustine

Best place I’ve ever ever stayed!
Funny Farm was amazing! While staying here I felt like I was home. The animals are so sweet! We felt so welcomed and comfortable. Mike was beyond helpful and courteous. Soft beds and fluffy blankets make this place so cozy. Me and my sisters will definitely be back. Thank you Mike for making everything an unforgettable experience.
