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.

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!!

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!

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 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.

This place was awesome! Decor was very artsy featuring plenty of turtles and with a 9yo who loves turtles was perfect! Located close enough to walk everywhere. We never moved our truck the entire stay. Wendy and David included small amenities such as a stock of assorted coffees, welcoming bottle of wine, even toothpaste and toothpaste in case you had forgotten it. Also, hosts were very quick to respond to my questions. Rated this as a 5, but really should be 10!!

Beautifully Decorated and Very Comfy
We were very impressed from the time we drove up until we had picked out our bedrooms (all very spacious) I cannot think of anything that was not top notch. All appliances, furniture, dishes, etc were supplied and very nice. They added little ‘just in case’ supplies for us and they didn’t skimp with cheap paper towels or tissue. You could spend hours enjoying the art through out the house. I highly recommend it. We plan to return soon

We loved so many things about this property. Exceptionally clean, equipped, and well-kept, this was by far the best Vrbo property we have ever rented. Everything from the dishes to the linens was impressive. The backyard was gorgeous and we had so many laughs playing cornhole! I enjoyed sipping my morning coffee in the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Best of all, this house is within walking distance of antique shops, boutiques, St. George St., restaurants, ice cream, trolley tours, and so much more. We had a marvelous stay, and the owners were thoughtful, generous, and easy to communicate with.
