About this property

💲Historic Lady💲 Renovated-Half Mile Walk to DT-Beach 3 Mi-Optional Guesthouse

THE HISTORIC LADY - NEWLY RENOVATE in 2016 with 3 Bedrooms & 4 Baths (Sleeps 6 - 10) with optional ROMANTIC GUESTHOUSE - 1 Bedroom 1 Bath (Sleeps 2 - 4) rented separately. Easy half mile walk to all the Historic Sights and Restaurants in Downtown St Augustine. You'll feel like you are back in time. Strolling Old World Walking Streets. Romantic Lighting. Outdoor Music filling the air. Forget your car. Here everyone "Walks". Yet you are only 3 miles to Vilano Beach or 5 miles to the St Aug Beach Pier. We provide Beach Chairs, Towels & Boogie Boards. Combining the "Beach" with the "Romantic Old World" this is truly the "Best of Both Worlds!". If you need more space, check out all 6 of my other Downtown homes and 5 Direct Oceanfront homes at the end of this listing.

You will fall in love with this Classic 1920 Home from Henry Flagler's original Model Land Company. It has been lovingly restored in 2016 (my me) to Better than New. Original Heart of Pine Floors throughout. Everything else NEW but in "Old Style" with Marble Baths, Ship Lap wall and cool gray colors.

KITCHEN - New White Shaker Kitchen with lots of Glass. Popular Gray Granite Counters. All Stainless appliance + Gas Stove. Two Islands. One with a Microwave "Drawer." I had never seen one before and just fell in love. The other wraps around the Fireplace and opens onto the central Greatroom/Dining area. And my favorite, the Ship Lap walls that tie it all together.

2 GREATROOMS - Designed for flexibility there are actually 2 Greatrooms. Each with Wall Mounted Big Screen TVs. The second Greatroom with Grand Piano is accessed thru French Doors which can left open or closed to convert it into a Downstairs 5th Bedroom with Queen Leather Sleeper Sofa. There is easy access to the 1st Floor bath with amazing $7,000 Soaking Tub, marble floors and vanity top.

3 BEDROOMS - Upstairs there are 3 Bedrooms + a Sleeping Porch & 3 more Baths. Each with TV and Wireless Internet.

Bedroom 1- King Bed with Private Bath. Includes small Outdoor "Romeo" Patio. Barn Door leads to Bath with Marble Floors and Shower & 2 Marble Vanities.

Bedroom 2 - King Bed + Twin Daybed with easy access to Hall Bath with Marble floors, Vanity and Shower.

Bedroom 3 - Queen Bed with French doors to Sleeping Porch with Twin Daybed & Bath with Claw Foot Tub.

OUTDOOR DINING - Outdoor private Paver Patio with Dining and String Lights

OUTDOOR GRILL - Gas Grill on Covered Patio.

LAUNDRY - Washer Dryer off the Kitchen.

OPTIONAL GUESTHOUSE - Need more space? Rent the ROMANTIC GETAWAY located in back - 1 Bedroom + 1 Bath + Sleeper Sofa (Sleeps 2 - 4). Same hardwood floors. Same NEW White Kitchen, same Marble Bath. Just Smaller with Vaulted open Rafter Ceiling. Charming. See https://www.vrbo.com/4079442ha?

Stayed for a wedding with 3 couples and the house was plenty big and had enough bathrooms! Great kitchen and living space however I wish the couch was a little larger, updated for everyone to comfortably sit around. However the kitchen table is right there which provides lots of seating

Very nice house

The house was very clean. Close enough to the shops that we walked a lot. Beds were comfortable. The only thing I would add would be a hand held faucet in the bathrooms that only had a tub. That way couples wouldn’t have to share a shower. We loved the chairs out front and spent a lot of down time out there.

Wonderful Stay at Historic Lady

We stayed at the property with 2 other couples to celebrate my husband's 59th Birthday for a long weekend in St Augustine. It was the perfect place with an ideal location that was an easy walking distance to great restaurants, distilleries, breweries and attractions. The house was clean, suitable for a larger group with beautifully updated kitchen and bathrooms.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Bayles

Host profile image
My name is Linda Bayles. I have been a Realtor in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area ranking in the Top 1% of Agents since 1998. In 2005 I walked into a 1926 beach cottage direct oceanfront on St Augustine Beach and knew I had found my calling. I wanted to 'Create' a vacation space for Families. Large extended families. A place were Cousins, Grandmothers, Uncles and Aunts can comfortably come together to reconnect and enjoy each other away from the demands of the outside world. I come from a large family of 5 children as does my husband, Brad. Some of my fondest memories are when we all got together to just 'hang out' for 3 or 4 days. The little ones always come up with a 'play'. The adults always congregate in the Kitchen passing down the 'Family Recipes' to the next generation and playing Games. We are a big Game playing family. Specifically Rummikub. We start them at 5 and My Mother is still going at 95. If you have never played, you must. I make sure there is one in each house. Once you are hooked and have one of your own, I hope you will think of your St Augustine stay every time you play.

So I bought that 1926 Craftsman, gutted it and turned it into The Chautauqua which sleeps 21. It has been a rewarding success. In 2011, my Father expanded the tradition and bought 4 homes on one Oceanfront compound on 9th Street. We could not believe our luck and spent the next year remodeling them into The Seaside Cottages. We started renting them in June of 2012. The Best part is not only the homes but the BEACH. There are only 18 streets on the “Best Beach” - No cars. No Catwalk. The ocean right at your door. Great Restaurants within walking distance. Amazing.

And then I discovered the charm of Downtown St Augustine. At night it is like strolling in an old European City. So in 2016 I decide to moved Downtown and renovated 4 more Downtown Vacation Rentals. Ranging from 1 to 4 Bedrooms all walking distance of St George Street, the Center of Historic Downtown and all the Restaurants, Sights and Music and only 2 blocks from each other. Great for Downtown Weddings with the Bride taking one house and the Groom the other.

My Goal is to provide the best vacation spot possible. I hope you will stay with us and create memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Feel free to call me any time day or night.

Always at your service,

Linda Bayles
Florida Home Realty & Mortgage

PS: I am also a Realtor. I work primarily as a Single Agent. There are not many of us out there. Most Realtors work as neutral Transaction Agents. You can google 'Buyers Agent' to get an overview of the difference. I think it is big. Just ask yourself the question, Would I want the other sides Attorney to represent me too? That's it in a nut shell but the amazing thing is, unlike Attorneys, it does not cost you anything to have your OWN Realtor representing just YOUR interest. We are all paid by the Seller. So .... I would love to help if you are thinking about buying or selling in the area. Just call and I will send photos of what's available. Once here I would love to give you a tour of the area and take you "shopping". We can see about 4 per hour and you have me as long as it takes.
