Waterfront Retreat, Pool & Rooftop Deck - 2 Bed Cottage, Kitchen, Great Location

You've found your waterfront oasis tucked under the White Birds of Paradise! This spacious retreat was formerly a commercial art gallery. Two queen beds, one full bathroom & full kitchen make for comfortable living! You have a fenced path leading you down to the beautiful waters of Salt Run where a rooftop deck & salt water in-ground pool invites you to relax and slow down. Less than a mile to downtown St. Augustine, a little over a mile to the Amphitheater and about 3 miles to the beach.

Downstairs you have a combined living space with a queen bed, L-shaped couch and kitchen with bar seating. The kitchen has a two burner gas stovetop, full-sized retro fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee pot, toaster & kettle.

Upstairs you have an A-frame hideaway! A comfortable queen bed, 2 office desks for remote working and a bookshelf stocked with books and games for those (rare) rainy days. A dedicated, separate entrance to the upstairs bedroom makes it convenient for two couples.

You have a fenced path leading you down to the beautiful waters of Salt Run. Make your way up to the rooftop deck for some sunshine and incredible views while catching that awesome ocean breeze.

Time for a swim? In front of the waterside rooftop deck you'll find a large 15'x30' salt water swimming pool. The pool has a large shallow-depth ledge perfect for relaxing or enjoying a book. The pool is available year-round & heated to 80-82 degrees.

The pool and rooftop deck are shared with one other vacation rental on this large property (more on that below).

Only a few blocks away, you have a full-service marina with lots of fishing charters and boat tour options.

Perfectly situated on a dead-end street just off the main boulevard. You are less than a mile to downtown St. Augustine, just a little over a mile to the Amphitheater and about 3 miles to St. Augustine Beach. Additional nearby attractions include the Alligator Farm and St. Augustine Lighthouse, both within walking/biking distance or a very short drive.

Parking is not an issue with two dedicated off-street parking spaces and fast wifi makes it easy to stay connected.

Washer & dryer is available for guests staying 4 nights or longer at no additional cost.

Other Things To Note:
This is a large property spanning almost a 1/2 acre. There are three separate buildings on the property. Each building has its own dedicated parking, private entrance and share no common walls. The waterfront rooftop deck & pool is shared between all. There is a photo that gives a satellite view of the property layout.

The heated pool temperature will be 80-82 degrees. The pool heater cannot function when outside temperature drops below 48 degrees. Therefore during cold fronts the water may drop below our set temperature until the heater can kick back on.

The dock that can be seen in the background of some photos is our neighbor's. Dock access is not available for guests.

St. Augustine gem
The location of this property is awesome, between the beach and the historic district. The view from the outside deck and pool area is beautiful, and the pool is wonderful. It is shared with another unit, but we only had people in the other unit for 1 day of our stay. The unit we stayed in is small, but it was all my husband and I needed, and it is nicely done. We could have used an oven one day (which it doesn’t have), but overall the unit was great for us. The only other problem is that parking when you get to the historic district is rather limited, since we did have to drive to get there, but we managed to find spots each day. The hosts sent a guidebook which had all the information you need for getting around, and places to visit and eat which was perfect for us.

Slice of Heaven
Absolutely LOVED the place. So nicely decorated and appointed. I stayed with my 12 and 13 year olds. We enjoyed the pool - the owner even turned on a bubble machine for us to make it extra special. We woke up early on the last day to watch the sun rise from the rooftop deck. We will be back ❤️

Beautiful Place With Everything You Could Want!
We loved staying here for my husband's birthday trip. The Retreat came with all the amenities we could hope for. We enjoyed a dip in the pool and the views from the rooftop deck. It was a short drive into St Augustine and there are grocery stores and plenty of restaurants close by as well. The hosts are awesome- super responsive and even went the extra mile to ship us back two jackets we accidentally left behind. I would highly recommend this place!

It's an easy walk to city center (over the bridge) and the neighborhood was good. Didn't get all of the instructions on how to get in until we arrived, but it worked out. The property is a little smaller than it seems on the listing but for 2 nights, it was fine.

Wonderful 3 Day Stay
Absolutely lovely! Checks all the boxes for the things that are important to us when traveling: Super clean, good shower, very comfortable bed/ bedding, good internet connection, easy check in…and there was much more, as well as many thoughtful touches. We loved the rooftop deck with a beautiful view of the intracoastal waterway and swam in the heated saltwater pool. The quiet location suited us and downtown St Augustine was just a hop- skip over the bridge. We would definitely come back.

What a darling cottage! The Retreat is the perfect name for this cozy off the beaten path unit. The views were so calming and relaxing we hated to leave. Pedaling on bikes we were able to ride into town and explore or head south and enjoy Anastasia State Park. Would certainly love to visit again!

Dreamy Cottage Getaway with great pool and convenient location
Brittany and Cabe were friendly and very responsive to communication. The space was well thought out and well decorated. The cottage made a great home base for our family vacation in St. Augustine - short drive to beaches, short drive to downtown, walking distance to good restaurants and their pool was amazing! Would recommend highly.

Found this hidden gem after searching for several hours. This property not only was right on the water for those great views and scenery but had such a nice pool for relaxing. Very close to the city but far enough away for relaxing. It truly was a wonderful place to stay. We are excited to go back and enjoy the place again.

A 2day get away
This was a very enjoyable stay in a perfect location. We brought our ebikes and explored during the first part of the day, then cooled off in the new salt water pool. We slept great. It was furnished with many extra creature comforts. The hosts really thought of everything. Their restaurant reccomendations were spot on. Mojos tacos was excellent. Try the arepas and the strawberry hibiscus kombucha.
