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.

For an extra touch of luxury, we can now offer our guests an optional short-term membership at the nearby Serenata Beach Club in Ponte Vedra. This upscale oasis includes three pools, a fitness center, an adults-only hot tub, and more, accommodating up to 6 guests. Guest memberships can be arranged for a minimum of 7 days (although you can access it as much or as little as you like within the 7 days), and you get to combine the best of city and sand. Please note that these guest memberships do require an additional fee, and the club kindly requests a 2-week advance notice to arrange this experience for you.
****Current Beach Club rates - $500+tax for 1 week membership for up to 6 guests. There is a $200 up charge for the week before and after the following holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day). All membership arrangements are made solely between the guest and the beach club. We only offer their services to guests staying with us.

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!!

Home away from home
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!!

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!

Perfection!
I just can’t say enough how perfect this home was for our first trip to St. Augustine. Perhaps if you’ve been there before, you may prefer to stay on the waterfront or elsewhere. However, for first timers, I cannot recommend a property more! For starters, the decor sparks pure joy! It’s everything you want in a beachy escape. For our little family (mom, dad, grandmother, 6-yo) it was beyond spacious with every amenity you can think of and a backyard fire pit oasis for post-long days out and about. Access to the pool and beach club was amazing. Yes, it’s a drive, but super easy and well worth it (kids pool was a hit, food was excellent, and beach access was so enjoyed). Overall, though, this home was just so perfectly situated. We could walk in town (as we did many days) for things like the pirate museum, wonderful restaurants, and the fort. And we could walk to the fountain of youth (and a great brunch spot - the RainTree Cafe) for a more low-key Sunday. It was an easy drive to the alligator farm and the pool/beach. Really just a treasure of a spot for any first-timer to st. Augustine. P.S. the hosts were lovely to communicate with!

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.

It could not have been more beautiful!!
We arrived on Friday the 26th. Could not get the A/C to work (our fault) so while we were at the wedding rehearsal meet and greet Wendy took care of everything and the house was nice and cool when we got back!! This place is beautiful and decorated beautifully!! Wendy was so accommodating and we had no other problems. I would highly recommend this place!! You can not go wrong! Comfortable in every way!! Thank you so very much for your hospitality!! Love Janet, Mary Kay and Frances!!! Many hugs!!$

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.
