The property was clean and had everything advertised on the listing. We especially appreciated the walkability to downtown St.Augustine! The weather was unseasonably cold, so we’d love to return to enjoy the pool/hot tub sometime in the future.

We absolutely loved this little cottage. It was spotlessly clean and the beds were so comfy. We did use the hot tub one evening and it felt amazing. Having parking on the property is a huge plus. The neighborhood is perfect to walk most everywhere and felt very safe. This was our first trip to St Augustine and we are hoping to go back. We would definitely stay here again.

Saint Augustine getaway
What a fantastic little cottage in a great location. This was perfect for the wife and I. Very easy and timely communication with property owners, check in was a breeze, the place had everything you may need and was very clean and organized. Having the pool and jacuzzi was also great right outside your door. We had a great trip and staying here was a great choice. Will defiantly look at staying here again when in Saint Augustine.

Uptown Cottage
The cottage was lovely and within walking distance to the historic district. It was great to wake up in the morning, take our dog for a walk through the neighborhood and over to the fort, spend the day sightseeing or at the beach (short drive away), then have a dip in the pool. The beds were the most comfortable we’ve ever had on a vacation. We loved staying here!

Cutest little cottage
My Bestie and I had a wonderful time in this cute cottage. The space was great, the pool and hot tub were also a wonderful amenity. We enjoyed walking downtown and all the wonderful food. The beds were very comfortable, the couch was not as comfortable as we would have liked, and wasn’t the same couch pictured. Not a huge deal we laid in the comfy beds and watched movies. Perfect girls trip! Can’t wait to come back!

St. Augustine Gem
We loved our stay here! We were here for 5 weeks and loved every minute! Our adorable little cottage had almost everything we needed (like all long-term VRBO stays, we had to pick up a couple of things specific to us)! Traci and Dante were very responsive to any problems that came up - it's great that they're right there on the property. We could walk almost everywhere in historic St. Augustine, which we loved! The best part was the pool and the hot tub! There are only 4 rental cottages, so there was plenty of room to enjoy them! We hope to return!!

Perfect!
We loved our stay here. The little houses are super cute and clean/stylish. It was a short walk to almost all of the major attractions- which was perfect because parking was tough to find. The house was in a quaint area with shops and restaurants and a friendly atmosphere. And we used the pool/hot tub daily. The hosts were friendly and accommodating. I hope to eventually come back. Thank you!!

This was a perfect weekend get away for our anniversary. The property is in an ideal location for our trip. If you don’t have any mobility issues, a quick walk got us to all the restaurants and museums. The owners were friendly and quick to respond to our questions. Make sure you make time for breakfast at the nearby cafe named Sunday but get there early.

This great little cottage is perfectly situated within walking distance to Mission Nobre de Dios and the Old Trolley Depot. We were able to walk to the depot and ride the trolley everywhere, so nice! In St Augustine, location and walking distance is everything! The cottage itself was super clean and the beds were really nice. Saved us a bundle on food having a full kitchen! Neighborhood was quiet and felt safe. We will definitely come back!
