Charming 3BR/2BA Artisan Cottage, Heart of St. Augustine

Welcome to the charming Downtown St. Augustine Guest House, nestled in the heart of the historic city. Tucked away on a quaint, tree-lined street, our prime location is just a stone's throw from a delightful array of dining options, iconic historical sites, St. George Street's shopping district, the picturesque Bayfront, and all the city's attractions. You'll be pleased to know that Francis Field, where numerous festivals take place, is only a two-minute stroll away.

We've designed this sanctuary to be your perfect base for exploring the Old City. After a day of sightseeing, return to unwind and recharge in our serene retreat. The enclosed front, side, and backyard boast tropical lemon and orange fruit trees. Fancy a BBQ? Our private backyard comes complete with a gas grill, and a Bluetooth BOSE speaker is at your service for outdoor ambiance. We've even added a stone patio and fire pit, enhancing your home away from home.

Anticipating your every need has been our mission, and over the years, we've fine-tuned every detail. As VRBO Preferred Partners and SuperHosts, our unique home features artistic touches, including hand-painted Sticks furniture, Shoestring Creations headboards, and Mackenzie Child's decor throughout. We take pride in showcasing local art, particularly with a focus on mermaids, sea horses, and sea turtles, which lend our top vacation rental its captivating theme. When you stay with us, you'll have fun counting how many of each you can spot!

Conveniently situated just off San Marco Avenue, in St. Augustine's Uptown neighborhood, our location is surrounded by amazing restaurants and enticing shops, offering everything from clothing and home decor to vintage treasures. Within a quick walk, you'll discover Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the Old Town Trolley, the majestic Fort, and the enchanting Bayfront. Plus, Vilano Beach is just a 5-10 minute drive away.

We're seriously passionate about hosting, and we've crafted a guest experience that you won't want to leave behind. We're confident that our house will capture your heart as it has ours, adorned with love, care, and the hope that you'll return time and again.

For those seeking extra space, consider one of our fantastic Guest Houses, situated near the Old Jail and the Fountain of Youth. With two distinctive homes on one property, including an Artsy Industrial renovated Warehouse, they offer an irresistible blend of love, art, and color. Book 1 or all 3!!

Our third visit to this charming home and it won’t be our last. Perfect location and our hosts could not be more accommodating and easy to work with. Top notch - they set a high bar! The house has everything you could possibly need and it’s feels like a home away from home.

Wonderful stay
I cannot say enough good things about this property or the owners. We traveled in for our son’s wedding that was taking place the Saturday after Hurricane Milton. The owners reached out to let us know that the house was good and to be sure we were still coming. They even had the yard cleaned and things put back in the yard almost immediately. The property is perfect! They have thought of every detail. We will definitely be back!

As seniors (65+), we appreciated having a one level house with easy access. Home-like feel and cute decor made our stay fun and comfortable. Located near all the historic sites of St Augustine, we could leave our cars parked and walk everywhere. Will definitely refer friends!!

Family Vacation
I can’t say enough good things about this home! Everyone enjoyed staying there! The location is great as it’s just a short walk to downtown. The managers of the property always responded promptly. They thought of everything to supply vacationers with to make our stay as if it were their own home. We are already planning our next vacation to stay here again! We were so sad to leave! Thank you for making our family vacation awesome!!

Great place! Great location!
Super cute house. The owners, David and Wendy, were very thoughtful in stocking the house with amenities: fire pit, games, toiletries and even a welcoming bottle of wine. They were also very quick to answer any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again if we ever make it back to this great city.

Absolutely Amazing
I cannot say enough about this wonderful property. We use VRBO regularly and I must say this is one of the best we have ever stayed at. The place is colorful, comfortable and has every possible thing you could want and things you didn't know you wanted. The beds were comfortable and it was quiet. Wendy and David were great with communication and checking in to make sure all was well. It is close to all of the attractions and town and beaches, yet peaceful when sitting out back. You cannot go wrong with staying here. We will definitely be back. Thank you.

Very clean home has comfortable beds. Good pillows. Wanted for nothing in this spacious, well stocked house. Thoughtful grooming supplies provided in case of need for items inadvertently not packed. It is in a safe neighborhood. Close to historical sites. Has easy access to highway. Excellent, responsive hosts. Would stay again!

Wonderful Family Stay in St. Augustine
My family had an amazing time at this home! The hosts were incredibly gracious, and it’s clear they take great pride in their home and the service they provide. The eclectic style and vibrant colors made my young kids feel right at home, and the wide variety of games kept everyone entertained. The upscale appliances and amenities were a hit with the adults and much appreciated. Being just a few blocks from Downtown was convenient, though you might still need to drive to reach King Street. I highly recommend this home to anyone visiting St. Augustine, and we will definitely be back!

Awe Struck October '24
That's what we were when we walked in...awe struck. Someone else wrote "hands down the best VRBO I've ever stayed in" and I agree! Wendy and David are awesome, everything was there as described, BUT! the pictures don't do the place justice. The decorating, cleanliness, the amenities, I could go on and on. This was our first time to St. Augustine and it's amazing, you can walk to anywhere from this house. The shopping, dining and tours, all top shelf! And the people of the city itself were very friendly and welcoming....We're going back no question about it!

The house had so many extra amenities, nicely decorated, very very clean, comfortable bed. We were able to walk to so many places and a short ride to Vilano Beach. The backyard was awesome - we enjoyed cooking on the grill one night. We would definitely stay again.
