About this property

The ArtHouse: Where Industrial Charm Meets Creative Inspiration

Welcome to our one-of-a-kind accommodation option in Downtown St. Augustine! If you're looking for a unique and memorable stay, you've come to the right place. Our property has undergone a Peace, Love & Happiness-inspired renovation, and the results are truly extraordinary. We poured our love into every piece of this build.

As soon as you step inside, you'll be captivated by the artistry that went into creating this space. Local artisans poured their talent into crafting the handmade kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and out of state crafters handmade the beds and headboards. The centerpiece of the kitchen is an exquisite red cedar epoxy island countertop, a true work of art in itself, created by a local St. Augustine crew.

One of the most eye-catching features is the wall adorned with the renowned "Spread Love" graffiti and a stunning St. Augustine mural greeting you outside, which sets the tone for the entire space. This graffiti art not only adds a unique character to the property but also serves as a constant reminder of the positive vibes and love that permeates your stay here.

The outside space is appropriately named The Bamboo Garden. In the corner you'll find tall bamboo, with colorful bottle caps lining the ground underneath. A picnic table, games, and cafe lights lend to a peaceful break from touring the city.

But that's not all – we have an exclusive offer for our guests. You can now opt for a short-term membership at the nearby Serenata Beach Club in Ponte Vedra. This upscale oasis is a true gem, featuring three pools, a fitness center, an adults-only hot tub, and more, all designed for your relaxation and enjoyment. With guest memberships for a minimum of 7 days, you can combine the best of city and sand. Please note that these guest memberships do require an additional fee, and the club kindly requests a 2-week advance notice to arrange this experience for you.
****Current Beach Club rates - $500+tax for 1 week membership for up to 6 guests. There is a $200 up charge for the week before and after the following holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day). All membership arrangements are made solely between the guest and the beach club. We only offer their services to guests staying with us.

Our property is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience, a celebration of art, love, and positivity. We invite you to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere we've created, and to explore the vibrant city of St. Augustine, knowing that you can always return to your peaceful and eclectic sanctuary. Peace, Love and happiness await you here, and we can't wait to share it with you.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
Need more space? In the front of the property we have a separate Vacation Rental. Separate parking and entrances, and no shared space. We welcome your friends or family to book our Artsy, 2 bed/2 bath Cottage that sleeps 4-6 guests! Guests will find 2 King en suites, with a twin over full Renovation Hardware bed in the second suite. A delightful screened in porch separates the two suites. In front, is a porch with 2 rocking chairs. Life is Good!

Amazing unique home and great hosts!
Amazing stay at this unique, artistic home! Everyone in our group was in such a great coming back to this house after our st. Augustine adventures. Would definitely recommend to any folks that enjoy creativity and a unique experience. It’s also extremely comfortable, clean and has everything you would need!

Not just an ArtHouse
This house certainly had amazing art- but it could also be described with words like love, peace, happiness, kindness- it exuded all things good! Everyday we stayed was like a treasure hunt- did you see the lamp made of cassette tapes or the faces in the bathroom tile? We loved every minute of it! Aside from all the joy, this home has so many thoughtful high end conveniences like sound machines in every room and little necessities in case you forgot something. They thought of everything down to designated makeup washcloths and it all worked perfectly together! Wendy and David clearly cut no corners when designing this space! We will 100% be back.

We love the Arthouse!! ❤️
My whole family loved the arthouse! It’s such a fun, energetic, colorful space, and done so tastefully that it’s a joy just to spend time there. We were all finding beautiful new details all week. It’s wonderfully spacious, with lots of room to spend time together, but also plenty of room to spread out and get some down time if all the family togetherness gets exhausting. It was perfect for us with our 4 kids ranging from 9-17 and with my father-in-law joining us as well. The location is awesome too: just a short drive to the beach, walking distance to lots of fun shops and places to eat, and a little bit longer walk or short drive to St Augustine’s historic sites. Also- I couldn’t have asked for better hosts. They were quick to respond to any questions or issues and even went above and beyond, letting me know we were welcome to take the beach chairs and cooler from the garage on our beach outings. If I could rate this place higher, I would!! Simply amazing!!

Peace, Love, & Hospitality
Wendy & David’s ArtHouse is hands down the best rental property we have ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in many)! The space is a work of art, and conveys the vibe of St. Aug in all its meticulous detail. Privacy, cleanliness, comfortability, amenities, necessities were all above and beyond. The outdoor shower!!! I showered indoor only once during our 5 night stay, the indoor showers are gorgeous, but I loved looking up at the trees and hearing the birds while using the shower outdoors. Our daughter is a fine arts major at Flagler College, and brought her roommates by to see the place, they were in awe of the place. Needless to say we loved our stay, and will absolutely stay at The ArtHouse again. I fully intended to add a “love lock” to the entrance fence, and some artwork to the sign in book, but I ran out of time, (We were moving my daughter to a new house for next semester). Next time! Thank you Wendy & David :) Trent & Amanda

Such an amazing place!
The Art House is definitely our new go-to place to stay in St Augustine! It’s like a huge artists loft has been picked up out of a city and dropped into the middle of St Augustine. While it is artsy, it is done tastefully and feels comfortable and welcoming. We would have loved to pick the whole place up and take it with us to be our new home. It is just far enough outside of everything to be quiet, but close enough to walk everywhere. The place was immaculate, it smelled clean and didn’t stink of chemical air fresheners (which I’m allergic to) and the hosts are very responsive. We look forward to returning. Oh, if you hear a knocking on the window in the king bedroom, it’s a tufted titmouse. He came to visit every morning. Next time I think we will bring some black safflower seeds to treat him. 😊

Perfect in every way!
Our stay was priceless. The property was amazing and so fun. Our teenage boy, 9 year old daughter and my husband and I loved the decor. Every day you saw something new. The provided shampoo & conditioner was salon quality and the home was so well stocked. The location was great and walkable to old downtown, shops and restaurants. All around this is the best vacation rental I’ve had in years. The host was responsive and checked to ensure we had everything we needed!

Extraordinary experience
The Art House in St. Augustine was great!!! This has got to be the #1 VRBO in the city for any family or group that is coming to do the tourist thing. 1. In the house there was unique local art at every turn. Literally. The wall, the shower, the bed, the fridge… fun, fun, fun 2. It’s close to everything… we drove into town but if you want to save on parking you could easily walk. 3. Everything was as advertised. The hosts made you feel like a VIP without having ever run into them. All was clean and the supplies were extra. Great place all around. Zero regrets on picking the Art House. It was Extraordinary!

Coolest Rental Ever
This place was by far the cutest and coolest rental I have ever stayed at. Rented it for my friend's bachelorette weekend & everyone was obsessed. Plenty of space for a group of 5 and plenty of picture opportunities. On top of that, Wendy & David made sure we enjoyed our stay & the communication/check-in process was a breeze. I would stay here again & recommend it to anyone staying in St. Augustine!

Fantastic
Our stay at The Art House was nothing short of spectacular. The hosts made our stay simple; they went above and beyond. Literally, all we needed to bring were toothbrushes and clothes. The house is a work of art; every hour we noticed more unique details. Spectacular. The neighborhood was quiet except for the local train on occasion. Beds are comfy, showers are big and lots of hot water. Kitchen is great. Felt very safe and secure. The location is awesome; a nice 10 minute walk to the heart of St. Augustine Old City. If our son decides to attend college in the area, we will be back!

Perfect Place
We loved staying at the ArtHouse! It was a very comfortable place to come back to after exploring St. Augustine for the day. We were always finding some new detail to enjoy in this unique place. The master bedroom was a great space for my parents with the private bath. The den space, with the VW bed, plus the other bedroom with the attatched bathroom, which also led to the hallway, gave the rest of us (2 parents & 2 teens) plenty of space to spread out. The living room was perfect with plenty of seating to hang out in the evenings to watch some sports and movies on the giant screen. And the coffee table is awesome! We mostly ate out, but the kitchen was nice in the morning for coffee & a quick breakfast and for leftovers for a late night snack. We loved being able to leave our car in the driveway and walk to the historic & tourist areas (especially during the busy Christmas season). When we did need to drive somewhere, it was still very convenient, whether to the grocery store or to Anastasia Island for some of the attractions over there. Our hosts checked in several times throughout our stay just to make sure everything was going well and if we needed anything. All was good. If we decide to vacation in area again, I will definitely check to see if the ArtHouse is available. I'll also be recommending it to all my friends if they plan on travelling to St. Augustine! Thank You!

Simply the best!
Where to begin? If this house were a person it would be the life of every party. The personality of the entire house is a whole vibe, one that you can’t truly appreciate until you see this place for yourself. Wendy and David accessorized the house with custom pieces from various artists and creators which makes a small business owner’s heart happy. There’s absolutely nothing generic about the masterpiece that exists in those four walls. Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better our gummies kicked in which intensified all of the colors of the house even more, especially those neon lights, and added extra laughs to the competitive game of scattergories - one of the many games they so nice and neatly displayed in a cute basket. The game of Twister was a hard no for our old joints. After intently studying the one of a kind coffee table with nostalgic candies in between the smooth resin material we finally convinced ourselves to hit the hay. While getting ready for bed I realized in my rush of packing that I’d forgotten my dental floss. I wasn’t bummed for too long though because right beside the sink was the cutest and well thought out display of name brand toothbrushes and toothpaste, miniature deodorants, face wipes, and lo and behold my favorite brand of dental floss. Big to the small, the Goldsteins thought of every single detail to make their guests’ visit one of the very best. By far, this is the coolest house I have ever seen. It wasn’t a stay it was an experience!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and David

Host profile image
Wendy and David are entrepreneurs. By day they run a successful corporate team, building company, and by night and weekends, they run their passion project which is hosting guests in St. Augustine at three different vacation rentals. The ArtHouse is really special and creating it challenged all of Wendy's design skills and decorating with color. What would you do with an empty warehouse? It wasn't a question for us as we wanted to turn it into a funky, industrial, hippie-chic, vacation rental. You'll see a photo where we started with a cement floor and everything from there is architecturally designed, colorfully decorated, and furnished with fun and love. What's really fun for us is if you see any of the three guest houses, you'll see our favorite furniture, favorite designers, local artwork, and custom cabinets. What makes it really special is that people feel at home in these unique spaces and we really get a kick out of making people happy.

Why they chose this property

In front of The ArtHouse is Sanchez Suites our two-bedroom, two-bathroom dogtrot cottage, which we've been staying in on and off for the past year or so. It is a short-term rental when we're not there and guests love it. It is a relatively new house in the old city, and when we bought it, it came with the warehouse. We knew then, that was the special part of the property. We are three houses up from San Marco, across the street from the Fountain of Youth, and in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and historic downtown. What's not to love?

What makes this property unique

Everything! It is the most unique vacation rental in the city of Saint Augustine and the surrounding areas.
