Historic Downtown Cottage with Private/Heated Pool! Walk to everything!

Our charming 2 bedroom cottage w/porch swing and private heated saline pool is a quiet retreat from a day spent exploring beautiful St. Augustine! Located in a quiet neighborhood near Matanzas Bay and just blocks from the famed Fort Castillo de San Marcos so you can park the car and forget about it!

This 2 bedroom/2 bathroom cottage has everything you need for a great St. Augustine stay. Built in 1875 it is full of charm but has been renovated and provides every modern convenience. And best of all you will have the place/pool to yourselves. The Main House in the front will NEVER be rented during your stay but if you prefer more space you may want to book it instead. You can see more about the Main House using listing #604638,

Location: The cottage is situated in a wonderful walkable neighborhood between the famed Fort at Castillo De San Marcos and the Mission De Nombres. You can make the pretty walk to the historical downtown St. Augustine district in just minutes. And if you want time at the beach it's only a 4 minute drive away.

Layout: The cottage includes an open floor plan overlooking the heated saline pool with large LR, fully stocked Kitchen and 3 seat Breakfast Bar. The 2 bedrooms and bathrooms are situated on opposite sides of the cottage so each guest has plenty of privacy. There are 2 separate patios for your use. One provides furniture for lounging and the other overlooks the pool and provides a shady area for dining or just hanging out. Both patios are accessible directly from your cottage. Plus we never book more than 1 guest at a time so you will always have the pool to yourselves.

Details: The Living Room has 42 inch flat screen TV, DVD. Kitchen has full size refrigerator and stove, double DW, microwave, coffeemaker and garbage disposal. We provide coffee and tea and stock your kitchen with a few snacks to make sure you never go hungry!

Bedroom 1 is a Queen bed with walk in shower and glass door. Bedroom 2 has a Queen bed with a full sized tub and shower with glass shower screen. It also has a wall hung TV. We provide wonderful memory foam beds and high end linens in both bedrooms for a great sleep!

Cottage has a private entrance and front porch which overlooks the pool. It is technically connected to the main house via a 12 foot long glassed in breezeway but is otherwise a completely separate structure and the two homes are further closed off by 2 sets of locking doors.

If you like our location but prefer more space you may consider renting the Main House instead (listing #604638). You may also rent the entire property (Main House and Cottage). See listing #607969. Remember: whether you rent the Main House or the Cottage we NEVER book more than 1 guest at a time so you will ALWAYS have the pool to yourselves.

Other Details: Cottage also has CHA, hardwood floors throughout, shuttered windows, stained glass windows, and custom porcelain tiled baths. There is 1 adult bike (with helmet/lock) in the bike shed by the driveway.

Important to Note

No events, gatherings, visitors, pets (unless approved by owner), smoking, parties, disruptions or other disregard of lease terms can occur or terms of rental are void and immediate eviction will be enforced. Persons other than those specified in the booking are not allowed in/on the property unless approved by us in advance. If you would like to have a visitor please coordinate with us in advance. Please let us know who, when and for how long you expect your guest. Parking will also need to be coordinated as we have limited space.

There are ceiling fans in every room of the property but we ask that you turn them off when leaving the house for extended periods. Keep doors closed at all times...it's FL so we don't want Lizards, bugs or Snakes wandering in.

Note: the pool is heated to 82 year round but when air temps are below 55 the system will shut itself off to avoid damaging the heater. During the Winter guests should plan to swim later in the day.

External security cameras in use. This is for your protection and protection of the property. Video recordings occur incrementally. Video are routinely deleted by the system and would only be shared with law enforcement as needed. External cameras overlook the parking area and the front porch of the Cottage including a portion of the pool area.

There are NO REFUNDS for EARLY DEPARTURES EXCEPT AS PROVIDED HEREIN. Owner will make a “best effort” to re-rent the property. If the Owner is able to successfully re-rent the reserved period, the Owner will refund the total rental payment less a $100 servicing fee. Guest may obtain a “Cancel for Any Reason” policy through a third party. Guest ASSUMES THE RISK.

Relaxing stay
Very cute cottage. Neighborhood was peaceful and relaxing. We parked our car upon arrival and didn’t start it again till the day we left. Everything we wanted to see and do was a short walk away. The house was clean and comfortable and the private pool was so nice! Would definitely stay here again should we return to St. Augustine.

Loved our cute cottage. Smallish rooms but very comfortable including a full kitchen. Pool area was great and the water temperature was perfect for lounging on the floats that were provided. Short walks to historic areas, great restaurants…everything that we were looking for.

Cottage Cutie
Wonderful property. The cottage is even better than the pictures. Stayed with my mother, my nephew and his fiance and we all agreed that the cottage had such a cozy, warm and inviting feel. The pool area was great. As hot as it was, we spent every afternoon in the pool. Location was nice. Short walk to the trolley stop and lots of good restaurants and shopping nearby. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks Pauline.

Great place within walking distance of downtown
This was the perfect place for our family of 4 and small dog. Just a couple blocks away from the fort and St George street. Lots of great small shops close by also along with Ripley’s and trolley stops. Cottage was good size for us and included everything we needed. Pool was perfect for kids when we got back from walking. Thanks for the stay!

Oasis in St Augustine
Outstanding home with everything you need for a great vacation. Pauline is exceptional when it comes to VRBO hosts; communication and assistance is above and beyond! Home was clean and beds were wonderful. It's a short walk to downtown and all it has to offer. We especially enjoyed the pool; we stayed in it for hours on end.

Perfect locale
Our stay in St Augustine was made perfect by this rental. It is removed just enough from the hustle and bustle of the area but also close enough to walk safely to attractions and downtown. The cottage was clean and the pool was great to have as well. Checking in and out was a breeze. We all agreed we will return to St Augustine and stay again at this rental in the future.

Perfect location
The property lived up to pictures and description. We were within walking distance for many main attractions. The location was close to visitor center and there we could hop on trolley to see more locations. We could also watch our favorite shows by streaming. We also loved the pool with floats provided for relaxing.

Cousins’ Getaway
My cousin and I came to St Augustine for the first time. This rental was perfect - we loved the decor, having 2 bedrooms and baths, and best of all - the private pool!! We’d sight-see and shop and come back to swim/relax in the pool. Then it was wine-time and time to go out for dinner. It’s not super close to the historic area but certainly walkable.

Amazing!!
This place is the ideal place to stay while visiting St. Augustine. Within walking distance to all attractions. The neighborhood is quiet & peaceful. My daughter and I stayed in the cottage. Well kept and clean. Beautiful hard wood floors. Our hostess Pauline made sure we had everything we needed. I would highly recommend staying here.
