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 4, 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 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!

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!

Perfect Weekend
I booked this place for my birthday weekend. My SO and I enjoyed our stay so much that we both decided to return and book again for our next long weekend trip to St. Augustine. The house was was perfect for what we needed and the hot tub was a plus! In addition to access to the beach which is less than a mile walk, circle K is around the corner and wonderful restaurants and shops nearby. There was an issue with the toilet and it was resolved quickly. Thank you.

Relaxing and peaceful getaway.
My husband and I went for an anniversary getaway and the property was incredibly peaceful and relaxing. We went on several hikes at Ft. Matanzas and Anastasia State Park. We found a Groupon for Red Frog McToads and had a fantastic server named Jennifer. We cooked the rest of our meals at the property as it was well stocked with kitchen equipment. The firepit and hot tub were a fantastic highlight to the weekend and the neighbors were welcoming and friendly. Although we did not bring any kids with us this property would be very welcoming to children of all ages. There is plenty of room for a family.

This house was exactly what we were looking for. The hot tub was great, in a private screen porch. Everything was as advertised. It was a short drive to restaurants and the beach, and about 15 minute drive to old town St Augustine.

Great place to stay in St Augustine Beach
My family and I came to St Augustine for a long weekend to see a concert at the The Amp and explore downtown. This property is away from the busy areas but so close to the beach, amphitheater, alligator farm and more, which is exactly what we were looking for! We had a small issue with the toilet upon check in, contacted the host who immediately remedied the situation. Great customer service! The hot tub was great on the screened in porch while there was a small storm blowing through in the evening. Highly recommend and will likely stay here again when we return to the area!

Very cute place to stay.
The beds were comfortable. We enjoyed our stay. I rented this place mainly for the hot tub and it was very dirty. There was sand all in the bottom and a brown film around the edges, especially when the jets were on. It accumulated on the sides. So I was bummed about that but it’s a cute little place to stay

Perfect beach house!
This is the perfect beach house. We checked into a very clean house and it is beautifully decorated with beach themes and beautiful blues and aquas. Everything felt light and airy and the furniture all looked clean and new. There was plenty of light in the kitchen and dining area so I'm not sure what happen in another review but we did not have any issues with lights or anything else. The house seems well maintained. We loved enjoying the close walk to the beach. It is less than a mile very flat short walk over to the beach. We were there in March and it was 70s and 80s out. We also loved enjoying the hot tub at night. We were just a couple so we only used the bedroom with the king bed but it was comfortable and we both slept well. The other bedroom looked really cute for 2 or 3 kids to sleep in. The back yard was amazing. Everything is so green and beautiful. There was a sweet smelling Jasmin plant that I could not get enough of. We cooked on the grill and ate dinner and drink wine outside by the fire pit. It was honestly our best vacation as a couple. Everything was just perfect.
