The Red Cottage ~ 5min stroll to Fort, St. George St., Shops, Restaurants, etc.

In full disclosure The Red Cottage is a 100 year old structure, built from lumber salvaged after the 1914 fire. Now more than a hundred years later it has its quirks and flaws and very few level or straight lines but it's charm, warmth and persona are enchanting. The Red Cottage isn't for everybody. So with that said, if you’re hesitant the cottage may not be for you.

It is rustic, quaint, cozy and charming. It has recently been renovated and has all of the modern luxuries with a touch of its history. It has been converted to a one room sitting area/bedroom with a small kitchen and bathroom (shower only & tight). The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig coffee machine multiple coffee pods, cream & sugar, a small refrigerator, stove, microwave, a toaster, and normal kitchen necessities. A flagstone patio offers outside seating. Free off-street parking with extra space for trailer/boat or a recreational vehicle is on the property.

The Cottage sits on the back of the property overlooking Castillo Drive, the entrance to the city. Francis Field, across the street, is the downtown event field/ dog park. The Cottage sleeps two comfortably with a large loft that sleeps two. I have to divulge, the loft is a steep ascent up a vertical ladder, so if you're considering this space you need to be agile. Less than 200 yards East is The Visitor Center and the trolley hub. The Fort and Saint George Street are 100 yards beyond. The Cottage sits on a large piece of property behind a turn-of-the-century Victorian home. The Cottage was also built around the turn of the century where Manuel Mendez rolled cigars until the mid 1930's. Short drives take you to the beautiful beaches of Anastasia State Park and St. Augustine Beach. On the way to the beach, stop by the Alligator Farm and the Historic St. Augustine Light House. For shopping, choose from area outlet malls, flea market, and several farmer's markets.

Safe travels and peace be with you.

Overall, it was a wonderful spot --- perfect to get around to old town and uptown! Our host Hilary was amazing! Definitely recommend!

Awesome location…. The house was super cute inside and very clean. It’s a little misleading in the outside. I’m figuring it’s a converted shed, but the owner did an excellent job. The only issue is that walls are think so you can hear everything.light sleepers may have issues.

The owners of the Red cottage were extremely responsive. Check-in was exactly as specified. They were super kind and even offered to allow me to stay a little longer when I explained that I wasn't even checking in until evening. The location is the biggest benefit to this place. You could walk everywhere.

The location is awesome and easily walkable distance to downtown St. Augustine. It smelled like there was some residential smoke in the space, so could be an issue for someone with allergies.

There was no working refrigerator. It was definitely rustic and could use a general deep cleaning. The manager lives on property and was very nice. Location is the strongest selling point, easy walk to visitor's center and Old Town. It was workable for the three night stay we were there.
