About this property

Mermaid Cottage – 3 BDR Charmer Just minutes from Downtown, Beaches!

Whether you're exploring the historical sites, lounging on the pristine beaches, or simply enjoying the welcoming Southern hospitality, St. Augustine invites you to create lasting memories in a destination where the past and present seamlessly intertwine. Mermaid Cottage offers the perfect blend of nostalgic mid-century aesthetics and contemporary comforts mixed with a little Mermaid charm., This enchanting 3-bedroom 2-bath home, just across the San Sebastian River from the city center, gladly welcomes you to this dynamic area where vibrant culture meets timeless beauty. A spacious and scenic backyard offers the peace and relaxation you’ve been looking forward to whether dining on a meal al fresco on the deck, gathering around the firepit under the stars, or taking a quiet afternoon nap in the hammock.
You’ll be within just a short drive or twenty-minute walk to the heart of downtown when you’re ready to get out and explore the wide variety of landmarks, shopping, dining, attractions, and festivals, all offering unique experiences to get to know this eclectic city and the locals within it. If you happen to be visiting during the months of November thru January, you won’t want to miss the Nights of Lights, a dazzling and award-winning holiday lights display that you can experience by foot, train, or trolley, or even a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride. Those sparkling white beaches Florida is well known for are a quick four-mile drive away, making day trips a literal breeze.
Inside the home, the magical interior’s unique charm seamlessly blends comfortable, contemporary furnishings with charming coastal-chic style, offering spaces designed as much for connectivity as they are for rejuvenation. Sink into plush living room sofa seating while you queue up that new movie you’ve been saving on the smart TV. An even cozier seating area is nearby, perfect for sipping your morning coffee while turning the pages of a good book. The well-stocked kitchen includes all the comforts of home to help you whip up an afternoon snack or full, family-style meal, showcasing stainless steel appliances and ample counter space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. The reverse osmosis water system will save you time and money as you opt for reusable water bottles to help keep you hydrated on the go. Dine together or host a family game night at the dining table, with enough seating for the whole crew.

Girls Weekend
We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is a transitional neighborhood so we felt a little nervous at first. The grass had not been cut when we were there but I am sure they have had rainy weather that prevented them from cutting it before we arrived. We will definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area.

Perfect for us!
The Mermaid cottage is a delightfully decorated home, exactly as described on line. Spacious, comfortable, tasteful and just beautiful! We appreciated initial paper product supplies, shampoos and soaps and the bonus was a more-than-adequate spice cabinet! And the coffee bar was so grand! We were not able to enjoy the gathering area outside due to the season’s intense heat but the patio served nicely for morning coffee. Easily 5+ stars and would love to stay again!

Stellar St. Augustine Spot!
I truly enjoyed my stay at the Mermaid Cottage. It is in a quiet neighborhood with all of the thoughtful touches that are needed and wanted, away from home. The kitchen is ample, common spaces cozy and bedrooms above and beyond. It is also close to downtown and convenient for sight-seeing. I highly recommend this location for your next St. Augustine stay. I certainly hope I’ll return!!

Very Cozy Cottage!
This home was very lovely. Owners were rapid to respond when rental third party company did not provide entry access code. Checked back with us to make sure we got in ok. This cottage is filled with very nice decorations. There's area in the home were there wasn't anything interesting to look at. Welcome hand written note on front table, complimentary gourmet coffee and other essentials. There were local attraction brochures and coupons. House was very clean and in order. If and when we go bract to St Augustine will seriously consider staying here again.

Disappointed- Moist and musty house!
The reviews on this cottage baffle me- is nobody going to mention the smell? We arrived at 11pm, and immediately upon opening the front door were hit with the smell of mustiness and it only got worse the further we walked into the house. The coral bedroom and the main bedroom with the queen bed had the least amount of smell, but the rest of the house just reeks. Our daughter has asthma along with bad allergies, so we knew we wouldn’t be able to stay. We all woke up the next morning stuffy, with puffy eyes and just feeling gross- we were out of there as soon as possible. The house is surface clean, but they have a serious mold issue somewhere. I understand that the house is in an older area- but they know there is moisture because there were 3 “moisture eliminator” traps that we saw in various rooms. Pros: well stocked, surface clean Cons: mold, moist and musty, located in a not so great neighborhood, which may not matter depending on how much time you spend in the house. I definitely wouldn’t have felt comfortable sitting out in the backyard at night

Florida Wedding
We all had a great time. Loved having a cool home to come to after a day of sightseeing and wedding activities. Private and welcoming. The only complaint is the mattress on the Hide abed. It was a "torture rack". The inquiry about the iron was addressed very quickly.

Very uncomfortable
This property would not even be recommend to stay if you ask me. The location is not good at all, doesn’t feel safe at all. The AC broke after the first night and the temperature in the house reached to 95 degrees being summer in Florida. The owner was going to come install portable units at 4Pm that afternoon. We had to leave the location, we were on vacation in a house with unbearable heat. The Owner gave no apology, or any type of refund. Save your trip and stay somewhere else!

Perfect location in Talkeetna
Provided everything we needed to enjoy our stay! Plenty of room for the family. It was extra hot during our stay and they delivered an extra fan without us asking! Fire pit to make s’mores, grill to bbq and just a shirt walk to downtown to enjoy the best tacos!

Awesome weekend
We came into town for our daughter’s wedding. We had a wonderful weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better stay. The Mermaid Cottage was way more than we expected. The house had plenty of room and was equipped with everything you need plus more. Enjoyed my morning coffee out back on the deck. Neighbor hood looks a little rough but it’s like that throughout St. Augustine. The neighbors were really nice. We loved our stay and would definitely be back more.

Exceptional Property and Exceptional Hosts
Our stay at Mermaid Cottage was so enjoyable, easily a 5 star rating. The cottage is spacious, comfortably furnished, the decorations are whimsical and very attractive. There are exceptionally thoughtful touches throughout: night lights in every room, knives that are sharp, pads of paper and pens, a very helpful welcome book, a more than generous pantry with supplies of every kind…and a yoga mat. The hosts were wonderfully responsive, replacing a toaster that stopped working the same day we reported it. The location is perfect, quiet and close to shops and highways. The hosts went above and beyond in every way — great stay!
