About this property

Charming cottage near downtown and beach

The beaches are calling! Owl's Nest is your cozy, dog-friendly escape in St. Augustine. Our 3 bedroom, 2 bath home is conveniently located to all St. Augustine has to offer. We're a quick drive to St. Augustine Beach or Vilano Beach. After a day soaking in the sun, head downtown and try one of St. Augustine's amazing restaurants.

When you walk into the home you'll be welcomed by an open layout. Our living room features a comfortable couch and sleeper sofa where you can curl up with a good book or enjoy something on our 65" Roku television. Our dining area seats eight and is a great spot to fuel up for your day of exploring. Our kitchen features updated appliances and is fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, and silverware you need. We've got your coffee and tea covered! Brew a whole pot or a single cup in our coffee maker. Or, if you prefer a tea kettle, we have got you covered there as well. The dining area and living room make for an excellent gathering space.

The home has three bedrooms and a pull-out couch. The master suite features a queen bed and ensuite bathroom with a walk-in shower. There are two additional bedrooms in the home - a queen room and a room with a twin over-queen bunk. Our living room couch pulls out into a queen bed. An additional full bathroom features a combination tub/shower. Our home works well for a group of friends, three couples, or a family.

Out back, enjoy a relaxing afternoon in our covered outdoor space that features a couch and two chairs. Your furry friends will enjoy running around in our fully fenced-in backyard.

Owls Nest - The perfect place to stay

This home is only a few minutes from the heart of town. It is exceptionally clean and has everything you will need for your stay. We loved our time there and will definitely stay here again should we be in St Augustine.

Loved this property!

This cottage was immaculate and decorated very nicely. Plenty of room for 3 adults and our little dog. We LOVED the location, it was close to everything we wanted to do. Neighborhood was quiet and the sidewalks were nice for walking our dog. Our host was very nice and communicated with us well. Five stars!

Daughter's wedding

Drove down for our daughter's wedding. The venue was 10-15min away, so it was perfect. We were far enough away where we could have some time to ourselves but close enough to help as needed. The house was quiet and looked as though newly renovated. A sheriff lives across the street, so we definitely felt safe especially not knowing the area at all.

We were very pleased with the accommodations. All 3 of us were Senior citizens. The illumination on the front porch with unlocking the door was very poor especially since there were stairs also..

New, clean house

Very clean, well stocked house close to the historic district. Since we were a bit older, walking wasn’t always an option but we enjoyed Urban 40 across the street. Would recommend this to couples and families.

Mini Vacay with Friends

We really enjoyed our stay at the Owl's Nest! It was very clean with lovely decor. We loved being able to bring our little fur baby too. There were even doggie dishes for her. The beds were extremely comfortable and the street was quiet. The only negative for us personally was not having tv's in the bedrooms, however the tv in the living room was extra nice!

Amazing Stay! Quiet Cottage in St. Augustine

Everything was amazing. From communication with owners to easy check in and out process. Home was clean and had everything needed for a wonderful stay. All we need was our clothes and a quick run to the supermarket. Even our doggies had everything they needed. Our family truly enjoyed our stay in beautiful St. Augustine and this home made it very special for us. It’s close to everything. Thank you so much.

Great little house!

Went up with 2 other couples to see the Christmas lights in St Augustine! We were just a couple of miles from old town. House was clean and cozy. We wish that there were some games to play. Luckily we brought our own cards!

Great birthday girls trip!

We were very impressed our entire stay. We never cooked a meal, but everything you would need was there. We were basically coffee in the morning and a glass of wine at night, but the living/ family room was perfect to gather and enjoy the company of all. The open concept was very conversation friendly. Unfortunately it was way too cool to enjoy any of the user friendly outdoor spaces.

Thanksgiving holiday visit

This is a really nice place to stay, very comfortable, close to downtown St Augustine but quiet even during a busy holiday. The neighborhood is wonderful, and the house has all that we needed. We particularly loved the back porch, even after the cold front came through!

Nice house and great location!

My family enjoyed our stay. The owners were very accommodating and checked in to ensure we were enjoying our stay and to see if we needed anything. The house was very clean and well stocked. Also, location was great! 10-15 minute drive to everything we wanted to see (beaches, attractions, shopping and restaurants). Hope to visit again next year and stay here again!

The Owl’s Nest was a perfect place for us to stay and visit with family in St Augustine. The house was just like the description in the listing only better in my opinion. The owners were easy to communicate with and respond time was quick. I would highly recommend the Owl’s Nest to anyone looking for a great place to stay and visit Old Town. We will definitely look to stay here again.

Great weekend getaway

We had a really great weekend. The house is so cute and was perfect for our size family. Everyone had a great time and we all enjoyed siting on the back porch at night. So close to the shops in St Augustine. Thank you for an awesome weekend. We will definitely be back in the future.

Beautiful Home

The house has a lovely interior. Nice modern bathrooms and kitchen. Lots of towels. Soap, bath wash, shampoo, and conditioner dispensers (nice and eco-friendly). Cute front porch. Lots of parking. Big back yard that was great for our dogs. If you do bring a dog, make sure you have a leash to get them to the backyard (no direct access from inside the house). Near a marina with food truck area and close to downtown. Overall a great experience.
