About this property

Historic Downtown Home with Private Heated Pool! Walk to Everything!

This 1400+ square foot downtown home with 2 bedrooms and Jack and Jill bathrooms has everything you need for a wonderful St. Augustine stay! Built in 2008 it provides all of the modern conveniences you desire but the home design includes thoughtful touches throughout including stained glass doors, hardwood floors, granite countertops and shuttered windows. Best of all you can park your car and forget about it! Plus you can start and end your day with a swim in the new heated saline pool or just sit in the garden and enjoy the peaceful sound of fountain and birdsong. Everything you need for a great stay is provided!

Location: The home is situated in a wonderful walkable neighborhood between the famed Fort at Castillo De San Marcos and the Mission De Nombres just a few minutes walk from historical downtown St. Augustine so leave the car behind!

Layout: The first floor has an open floor plan overlooking the heated saline pool with LR, Full Kitchen and Dining Room space for 6-8. The Living Room has a wall hung 50 inch flat screen TV, original art and comfortable seating. The Kitchen has a full sized refrigerator and stove, DW, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster and garbage disposal. Kitchen is stocked with pots, pans, dish ware, utensils, etc.

Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms separated by a hallway, laundry area (with washer/dryer) and Jack and Jill bathrooms. A Jack and Jill bathroom is one that has 2 toilets, 2 sinks and a tub/shower that is shared. Each bedroom has a toilet and sink immediately available with 2 sets of locking pocket doors for privacy. The shared tub/shower is porcelain tiled and has a glass shower door.

Bedroom 1 has a Queen Sized bed with memory foam mattress, TV, French doors leading to the upper porch, sitting area and a large closet.

Bedroom 2 has 2 twin beds with memory foam mattresses (or we can combine to make a King), 3 walls of windows, a large closet and a set of antique french doors leading to a small balcony.

Outdoor features: This home has a private entrance. The back door leads to two patios. One for the pool and one for conversation and grilling (gas grill). It is also connected to the Cottage (not included) via a glassed in breezeway but is completely separate and closed off by 2 sets of locking doors. If you like this property but prefer more space you can rent the entire property (Main House and Cottage) under listing #607969. If less space is required you can also rent just the cottage under listing #587744. Either way we NEVER book more than 1 guest at a time so you will ALWAYS have the pool to yourselves.

Note: The pool is heated to 82 year round but when air temps are 55 or below the system will shut itself off to protect the heater. During winter it is best to plan on swimming later in the day when the pool will be warmer.

home away from home

we utilized both the house AND the cottage, and it was a perfect amount of space for the group that went. Home is in walking distance to EVEYRTHING, in a great neighborhood, well stocked and clean. The pool was the perfect size and the fact that there's a noise ordinance time made it so nice for resting and relaxing!! We now know where we WILL stay moving forward every time we go to St Augustine...

Great home in Historic St Augustine

This home was the perfect place to stay for our girls weekend in historic St Augustine. The house is perfectly clean and cared for, and is stocked with everything you need for a wonderful getaway. The grounds and pool are perfect for Florida, and we loved being able to walk to downtown. I would recommend this house for anyone looking to get immersed into St Augustine's culture and fun.

Comfortable & Beautiful

This home is absolutely wonderful! The decor, the pool, the location...everything was perfect for us! We truly loved walking through the quiet neighborhood and past the fort everyday to and from the historic district. The owner Pauline was super sweet and easy to communicate with. This rental is such a little gem!!

Very clean!

My husband, family, and I have stayed in St. Augustine many times. I have never found a rental that I have been happy with due to either location or cleanliness. This house was very clean and exceeded my expectations! It is also in a wonderful area close to the fort. The owners are also very sweet! I can't wait to come back and stay here again!

Wonderful Getaway

The house is completely charming, well maintained and immaculate. The location was also perfect, the mission, the fort and the old city were within easy walking distance. The month we spent there flowed by so quickly because it was just so comfortable. We found a wonderful fresh fish store on Anastasia Island (The Seafood Shop)which is the retail outlet of a large wholesale distributor. Get the kabobs left over from cutting the steaks. Very reasonably priced. Our thanks to Pauline. She is easy to work with and always responsive should any small problem arise.

Ideal for our needs

The property is well located - numerous attractions, shops, restaurants, and bars are within an easy walk. In addition, there are several great beaches within a reasonable drive (we particularly enjoyed visiting the Matanzes Inlet and Saint Augustine Beach - we rented a 4x4 Jeep and accessed the St Augustine Beach with our vehicle, which made it very convenient to grab lunch, drinks etc from our vehicle. ) The property itself was clean and delivered as advertised. The owner was responsive and provided a very detailed list of local recommendations, which we put to good use. She also provided bikes and s cooler for our use. The private pool was a blessing at the beginning and end of the day. I recommend this property.

Property was very nice and close to attractions. Neighborhood is not desirable.

The house was lovely and very well equipped. Pool and gardens were beautiful. Neighborhood was unsightly being reclaimed. For warning would have been appreciated. Would be helpful to label all the lights and fans. Also since the cottage was accessible a warning sign such as do not enter would be recommended. The bottle of wine was such a nice touch and was extremely welcoming. My friends and I had a blast.

Why they chose this property

There are certain neighborhoods in St. Augustine that we have always enjoyed strolling through. Historic Abbott Tract (our neighborhood) has always been at the top of the list. Snuggled in between the Fort and the Mission alongside the beautiful Matanzas Bay it's one the best bases for exploring the exciting and historic downtown core. So when we found this unique home (which is basically two homes connected) we knew right away that it was perfect for us. We felt it had the right blend of architecture (some old and some new) and we loved the layout and overall vibe. We added the heated saline pool right away because the lot was small and it seemed the best way to utilize the space. We were right-it's been a big hit ever since! But the best part is walking to everything. At night when you walk past the beautifully lit Castillo De San Marcos on your way to dinner you know that you are lucky indeed! We hope you find your time in our home and neighborhood special too.

What makes this property unique

This architect designed property is extremely unique in that you have a wonderful mesh of old and new. The 2 story portion built in 2006 connects via glassed in breezeway to the lovingly restored cottage built in 1875. Heart pine floors, plantation shutters and tropical colors bind these structures together yet the open floor plan allows for modern living and conveniences. We love how comfortable it is to live in this home. It's upscale but relaxed. It feels fresh yet you notice touches of age with original bead board ceilings, stained glass windows and antique doors. With tons of windows it seems always to be full of sunshine. Comfortable and cozy. The location is exceptional and the neighborhood vibe is one of community and diversity. Everybody knows everybody...and we love it that way.
