Walk to the beach or Explore the Nation's Oldest City-Beach Cottage Paradise

Enjoy the Ocean breeze, the smell of saltwater freshness and the warmth of the Florida sun! This modern beach cottage is walking distance to St Augustine's beautiful beaches.  Added bonus of walking distance to the beach(0.7 mi) and intracoastal waters(0.25 mi). This property has a lot to offer with 2 bedrooms to sleep 5, a fully equipped kitchen, indoor and outdoor dining, and a peaceful outdoor space looking out onto the famous Florida preserves. This great outdoor space includes a private large screened in covered back patio where you can relax and enjoy your morning coffee lounging with the sounds of the Florida birds or soak in the hottub in the evening. It also has a nice shared subtropical yard with a small pond, a firepit and seating, a yard to play, and a hammock to relax in.  The property has stone walking paths, is just a quarter of a mile to the intracostal which is great for fishing and boating, and is just over a half of mile walk, bike or drive to the beautiful blue water beach. Plus it is located near to Ocean Hammock park which is a great place to explore Florida nature or to enjoy the nice boardwalk to the beach. Just 10 minutes from the historical district of St Augustine where you can tour the history, eat and shop. Check out the Castillo de San Marcos fort, the Fountain of Youth, St Augustine's  150 year old working lighthouse, or zipline across the alligator zoo.

Enjoy your time out exploring the historic coastline, touring the oldest city in America, or enjoy an evening at the beach cottage watching movies, playing board games and puzzles, roasting marshmallows at the firepit, or relax under the stars. This beach house cottage offers a place to enjoy the Florida sun all year round. 

We take great pride in maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. In response to the coronavirus, we have taken additional measures developed with recommendations from global and local public health authorities (including the WHO and CDC) to make our cleaning and hygiene protocols even more rigorous.

Weekend getaway
Clean quiet property, easy check in and close enough to downtown. Parking area is small so be aware if you have a larger vehicle. Would stay again if I was in the area.

Close to the beach and attractions
We were close to everything we had planned for the weekend. It was nice to have a place to come back to that was clean and spacious. We enjoyed having the hot tub to hang out in as well as the grill to cook dinner on. We will stay here again next time we visit.

Great rental near St Augustine for our getaway
Wonderful place that has all the amenities. We prepared many meals in the full kitchen and outdoor grill. Quiet neighborhood but still close to St Augustine and the beach! Very clean and in good condition. We would definitely stay here again!

Clean but average
The interior was clean and beds were comfy. A/c unit was powerful. However, I was disappointed with some aspects: the bathroom shower needs to be updated. It looks a bit dingy and the curtain rod was rusty. We were only provided 1 roll Of toilet paper and a half used roll of paper towel. No other amenities. In addition, the fire pit on the exterior was full of leaves and debris. It was not Cleaned out and the chairs were broken, dirty and extremely poor condition. No firewood or matches provided. The hot tub was a good feature but the screened in porch was dusty! Chairs and table were covered in dust and debris. Not cool. On top of that I had to remove all of the bed sheets from the beds and leave them in a pile. And I also had to throw the towels in the washer! I dried them, too! I’m not sure why they charge us for the cleaning service when we had to do a lot of it! I’ve never stayed at a host home where I had to do those things. This host has a lot of improvements to make if they want to stay competitive. I don’t say this to be mean, only to provide an honest review of our experience compared to other Vrbo homes.

A few days away
This place is incredibly clean. I was impressed. But, the plastic cover on the mattress needs a cover over it. It's very hot sleeping on plastic with a sheet over it. The ceiling fan just doesn't get it. Communication was prompt & courteous. Very easy to work with. Parking was a little tight with a full size pickup truck but back up cams are a blessing. A squirrel came to check us out. So cute.

A wonderful place with FANTASTIC options!!
We had a great stay in St Augustine with this unit! It was super clean and well stocked. The host is super nice and had great communication. Check in was very easy, and the emails from the host were very through and useful. We very much enjoyed the hot tub after a long day of sight seeing. We enjoyed it so much that we all said we needed to come back for a longer stay in this unit! Thanks for a great weekend! We are already planning to come back!

Perfect Getaway
Took my mother and teen for a much needed vacation in the sun. This cute end cottage was perfect! Exactly as described, quiet street, quick walk to the beach, 10-15 minute drive to downtown. Kitchen was fully stocked. Hoping to return again next year!
