About this property
Heart of Historic St. Augustine Coastal Retreat
- Summary:
Located in the heart of historic Lincolnville, this home places you just a short 12-minute walk from Downtown St. Augustine’s restaurants, bars, shops, museums, waterfront, and iconic historic attractions.

Seamless support from Whitman Vacations — we respect your privacy but are always just a message away.
The Neighborhood:
Lincolnville is more than a district — it’s a living story. Once the principal historic Black neighborhood of St. Augustine, it remains a cultural cornerstone, blending African American heritage, Civil Rights history, and modern vibrancy. Today, you’ll find boutique inns, local gems like Cornerstone Café, and the buzz of Dog Rose Eats just steps away.
Getting Around:
Walkability: The home is just a 12‑minute stroll into Historic Downtown St. Augustine — perfect for exploring cobblestone streets, shops, bars, and restaurants without needing a car.
Biking: 2 (two) bikes are provided and additional rentals are available nearby, and cycling is a fun way to discover Lincolnville’s Victorian architecture and waterfront views.
Rideshare & Taxis: Uber, Lyft, and local taxi services operate throughout the city for quick trips to beaches or attractions.
Public Transit: The Sun Trolley and local shuttles connect key areas of St. Augustine, including the historic district and beaches.
Driving: Parking for two standard‑size vehicles is provided at the property. Downtown parking lots and garages are also available if you prefer to drive.
Sightseeing Tours: Hop‑on, hop‑off trolleys and guided tours are a popular way to experience the Oldest City without worrying about navigation.
Other Things to Note:
Pets Welcome (with approval): We love furry friends! A $85 pet fee applies and helps us keep the home fresh for all guests.
Sunset Views: Don’t miss the west‑facing deck — it’s one of the best spots in Lincolnville to watch the San Sebastian River glow at dusk.
Neighborhood Respect: Lincolnville is a historic and residential district. Please be mindful of neighbors and the community’s character.
