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!!

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!!

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.

This was such a fun home to stay in with the artsy decor throughout. The Owners have thought about everyting we might need as guests. It was rainy while we were there so we couldn't enjoy the nice patio area as well. Would definitely stay again!

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.

Francis Field in the backyard
We came into St. Augustine to attend the Celtic Music & Heritage Festival at Francis Field. The house could not have been better located. Wendy and David are the most gracious of hosts! Couldn't ask for a better family to rent from and we're already planning for a stay in 2025!

The house had everything! Absolutely beautiful. We could walk around the historic district and only used Uber one time to go to a different location. We can’t wait to go back. Easy to find wonderful food within a two or three block walk.

Family Getaway
This property is simply amazing. The owners go WAY above to give their guests an absolutely great experience. I was shocked this was a rental because it felt like home. The home was immaculate. Owners were very responsive, checked if we needed anything, expectations far exceeded and will book again for another trip. This VRBO is close to downtown for some shopping and food and the walk is quick.

Wonderful artsy home in great location and fun for the whole family.
We enjoyed every part of our stay. The house felt like home away from home. Location was great just a short walk from downtown. On rainy days our kids enjoyed some of the family board games that were available. The home is stocked with everything you need from cookware, linens, coffee and other needs. I felt every detail was thought of to make guests feel at home. Environment around the home felt very safe. We would definitely recommend staying here for any family planning a trip to St. Augustine!
