About this property

Historic Downtown Home with Heated Pool and Cottage! Walk to Everything!

With over 2000 square feet this 4 bedroom/3.5 bathroom home has everything you need for a fantastic St. Augustine stay. The main house built in 2008 and cottage in 1875 have all of the modern conveniences you desire. The home design includes thoughtful touches throughout including stained glass doors and windows, hardwood floors, granite countertops, shuttered windows and original local artwork throughout.

The property is situated in a wonderful walkable neighborhood between the famed Fort Castillo De San Marcos and the beautiful Mission De Nombres. Plus it's a short and pretty walk to all of the historical sites in downtown St. Augustine.

Main House:

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 50 inch wall hung flat screen TV. Kitchen has full size refrigerator and stove, DW, microwave, coffeemaker and garbage disposal.

Second Floor:

Upstairs you will find 2 bedrooms separated by a hallway, laundry area and Jack and Jill bathrooms. Bedroom 1 has a Queen Size bed, TV, French doors to the upper porch and a large closet. Bedroom 2 has 2 comfy twin beds (or we can combine to make a King). It is also connected to the cottage via a glassed in breezeway but is completely separate and can be closed off by 2 sets of locking doors.

Pink Cottage:

It's like having another house! It has a full kitchen, open floor Living Space with original art, wall hung TV and Breakfast Bar seating for 3.

There are 2 bedrooms and each has it's own bathroom. Both rooms have Queen Beds and superior memory foam mattresses and linens. The Queen bedroom with tub/shower also has a wall hung TV.

Guest Access

Wifi, 1 adult bike/helmet and lock, beach umbrella, cooler, gas grill and heated saline pool.

Interaction with Guests

While we prefer to give guests all of the privacy and space they desire if you need anything at all we have a local team including caretaker on hand and we are only a text or phone call away!

The Neighborhood

Situated near downtown and all of the action but a truly residential and quiet spot with lots of old trees and breezes from Matanzas Bay. You will see families, retirees and colorful long time residents. Our neighborhood has a nice mix of architecture and home values too. Simple cottages built as servants quarters across the street and million dollar waterfront properties 1 block over. It's a very desirable spot!

Getting around

You can easily walk to most of the things you will want to see. If you do need help you can take a pedicab, taxi, horse and carriage, Segway or our bikes. We are midway between 2 beaches and you can reach Vilano by car in 4 minutes and Anastasia by car in 6 minutes.

St. Augustine Gem

My two sisters, two friends, and mom stayed at this wonderful place for a 50th birthday girls weekend. We had a wonderful time. The place was very clean and had everything we could ever need. We made coffee every morning, did a puzzle, and played some games (all provided). It is a 10-20 minute walk to all the tours we did near St. George Street. Great location. Communication was great with the property owner. Very friendly. We couldn’t have had a better stay. I am very thankful for the wonderful experience.

Just Perfect!

This was a perfect place for our family to stay. My son, his wife, and their baby stayed in the main house. My other adult son, my husband and I stayed in the cottage. Both spaces were large so there was more than enough room. The location couldn’t have been better. We walked everywhere except the beach. I wish we could have stayed longer!

The property was very nice and met our expectations. We had a great visit with our friends. The only issues were small. Several lamps didn’t work. A check of them all would be good. The pocket door on the second cottage bedroom was broken. On the whole, a very nice stay.

About the host

Mom and Realtor

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 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.
