About this property

Captains Cottage

This is my home when it's not being rented out to guests.

It has two private bedrooms, one private bathroom and one shared full bathroom. My room will have some clothes in the closet/dresser but the guest room will not.

I try to leave a shelf in the fridge empty for my guests to use during their stay.

The condo is a 10 min. walk from the beach (intercostal side of A1A) and a 20 min. drive to all the attractions in St Augustine. Parking is free and available in the back.

I will provide check-in details a few days before you arrive.

Parking is located in the back of the condo building.

The house is in a quiet, safe and friendly neighborhood. For your added safety, security cameras are installed on the front and back porches.

St. Augustine Trip

Place was nice and joe was very responsive and helpful. Only complaints is the location showed it on the other side of a major road which added a lot of additional walking to get to the beach. Check in time on listing was 2pm so we arrived at 2pm to a delayed 3pm check in. Additionally the owner stopped by on multiple occasions which I found unprofessional. Either way would recommend also note the master is not a full bath and he lives there so fridge space will be limited.

Quiet comfortable home

Butler Beach is amazing and super close by. This home was quiet and comfortable with comfortable beds. I am a sensitive sleeper and it was super quiet! We loved it and would stay again. Close to downtown St Augustine too and many great restaurants.

Joe’s Place Offered a Good Stay

Our stay at Joe’s place was good. The neighbor in the 3 plex did make parking in back lot a little challenging but we managed. Was a great place for us four adults and our two dogs. Joe offered to assist with anything that would make our stay more enjoyable which was appreciated. Would have liked some closet or drawer space for our clothes in main bedroom but other than that all was good.

Peace and quiet

My best friend and I stayed here for a long weekend. It was just right! These beds are so comfortable! It was waking distance from anything we really needed. Check in and out was easy. We felt safe and it was an easy drive to the historic district. We could walk down to the beach quick too. I definitely recommend staying here!

Didn't Feel Comfortable

Although we were told that this was someone's home, there were too many reminders that we were IN someone else's home to feel comfortable staying there. There was one shelf in the refrigerator for us to use (the rest was the owner's food), there was a pair of shoes on the floor in the MBR, the back patio was loaded with lawn and other equipment, the kitchen shelves were filled with his items, etc. While none of this is necessarily bad, my wife and I felt like we were infringing on someone's home. We were supposed to stay for two nights, but left after one and spent $288 to stay at a hotel instead of staying here for the second night. It felt more like we were staying at a stranger's house than at a getaway place for the weekend. If you don't mind that, then you would be fine staying here, it just isn't for me. The owner, Joe, was responsive, but he quickly stated that we wouldn't be getting a refund for the second night even though I didn't ask for one.
