About this property
Historic Downtown Home with Private Heated Pool! Walk to Everything!
This 1400+ square foot downtown home with 2 bedrooms and Jack and Jill bathrooms has everything you need for a wonderful St. Augustine stay! Built in 2008 it provides all of the modern conveniences you desire but the home design includes thoughtful touches throughout including stained glass doors, hardwood floors, granite countertops and shuttered windows. Best of all you can park your car and forget about it! Plus you can start and end your day with a swim in the new heated saline pool or just sit in the garden and enjoy the peaceful sound of fountain and birdsong. Everything you need for a great stay is provided!
Location: The home is situated in a wonderful walkable neighborhood between the famed Fort at Castillo De San Marcos and the Mission De Nombres just a few minutes walk from historical downtown St. Augustine so leave the car behind!
Layout: The first floor has an open floor plan overlooking the heated saline pool with LR, Full Kitchen and Dining Room space for 6-8. The Living Room has a wall hung 50 inch flat screen TV, original art and comfortable seating. The Kitchen has a full sized refrigerator and stove, DW, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster and garbage disposal. Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dish ware, utensils, etc.
Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms separated by a hallway, laundry area (with washer/dryer) and Jack and Jill bathrooms. A Jack and Jill bathroom is one that has 2 toilets, 2 sinks and a tub/shower that is shared. Each bedroom has a toilet and sink immediately available with 2 sets of locking pocket doors for privacy. The shared tub/shower is porcelain tiled and has a glass shower door.
Bedroom 1 has a Queen Sized bed with memory foam mattress, TV, French doors leading to the upper porch, sitting area and a large closet.
Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds with memory foam mattresses (or we can combine to make a King), 3 walls of windows, a large closet and a set of antique french doors leading to a small balcony.
Outdoor features: This home has a private entrance. The back door leads to two patios. One for the pool and one for conversation and grilling (gas grill). It is also connected to the Cottage (not included) via a glassed in breezeway but is completely separate and closed off by 2 sets of locking doors. If you like this property but prefer more space you can rent the entire property (Main House and Cottage) under listing #607969. If less space is required you can also rent just the cottage under listing #587744. Either way we NEVER book more than 1 guest at a time so you will ALWAYS have the pool to yourselves.

This home is absolutely wonderful! The decor, the pool, the location...everything was perfect for us! We truly loved walking through the quiet neighborhood and past the fort everyday to and from the historic district. The owner Pauline was super sweet and easy to communicate with. This rental is such a little gem!!
we utilized both the house AND the cottage, and it was a perfect amount of space for the group that went. Home is in walking distance to EVEYRTHING, in a great neighborhood, well stocked and clean. The pool was the perfect size and the fact that there's a noise ordinance time made it so nice for resting and relaxing!! We now know where we WILL stay moving forward every time we go to St Augustine...
Enjoyed the pool area and the overall location of the house as it was easily walkable to most areas you might want to go. We are a walking family and enjoyed the walking around but if there are mobility issues and with parking problems at certain times of the day, that might pose an obstacle. But for our needs it was great.
Fantastic Stay at a Fantastic House!!Very accommodating and thoughtful host provides a superbly clean property with well thought out amenities, all packaged in a wonderful old home in a beautiful old neighborhood!!Don't miss it!!
A nice property with a pool, and an easy stroll to downtown. In a nice, cozy neighborhood. We would stay there again.

Great home in Historic St Augustine
This home was the perfect place to stay for our girls weekend in historic St Augustine. The house is perfectly clean and cared for, and is stocked with everything you need for a wonderful getaway. The grounds and pool are perfect for Florida, and we loved being able to walk to downtown. I would recommend this house for anyone looking to get immersed into St Augustine's culture and fun.

Fantastic location and wonderful owner.
We had a wonderful time thanks to the owner, Pamela's, thoughtfulness and well appointed accommodations. We especially loved the private pool after a day of touring. Her recommendations for restaurants and shopping were right on.
The home was spotless, quiet, beautiful and spacious.
We can't wait to come back.
Thank you Pamela

Very clean!
My husband, family, and I have stayed in St. Augustine many times. I have never found a rental that I have been happy with due to either location or cleanliness. This house was very clean and exceeded my expectations! It is also in a wonderful area close to the fort. The owners are also very sweet! I can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Wonderful Getaway
The house is completely charming, well maintained and immaculate. The location was also perfect, the mission, the fort and the old city were within easy walking distance. The month we spent there flowed by so quickly because it was just so comfortable. We found a wonderful fresh fish store on Anastasia Island (The Seafood Shop)which is the retail outlet of a large wholesale distributor. Get the kabobs left over from cutting the steaks. Very reasonably priced. Our thanks to Pauline. She is easy to work with and always responsive should any small problem arise.
The main house is perfect for family of 4. We added the cottage when my sister decided to visit! Private pool is amazing and we walked to and from the city on a few occasions. The house is well stocked with just about everything you can imagine! Highly recommend!!
We had a great stay! The owner initiated the conversation at the perfect time, answered all questions and was very helpful when needed. The house and pool were exactly as described and very clean. We are already talking about staying here again for a family trip in the near future!
We enjoyed ourselves immensely in this quaint house with a great pool and outdoor area. Pauline was very communicative and provided very helpful information about the area.
Our family enjoyed thouroughly enjoyed our trip. The house was great and Pauline was accessible and responsive. We especially loved the size of the kitchen and having access to the pool. We'll be back.
The property is well located - numerous attractions, shops, restaurants, and bars are within an easy walk. In addition, there are several great beaches within a reasonable drive (we particularly enjoyed visiting the Matanzes Inlet and Saint Augustine Beach - we rented a 4x4 Jeep and accessed the St Augustine Beach with our vehicle, which made it very convenient to grab lunch, drinks etc from our vehicle. )
The property itself was clean and delivered as advertised. The owner was responsive and provided a very detailed list of local recommendations, which we put to good use. She also provided bikes and s cooler for our use. The private pool was a blessing at the beginning and end of the day. I recommend this property.
