Absolutely adorable both inside and out, this St. Augustine cottage is just the place to call home for an unforgettable vacation. Upon entering, you and your guests will immediately be smitten by the bright interior, stylish decor, and unique spiral staircase leading to the upper level. The vaulted ceilings throughout give this home away an airy feel that everyone will enjoy and the enclosed backyard will be just the place to sip an evening cocktail as the family dogs run around. After a full day of exploring the city, there will be no need to eat in town, as the chef of the group can easily whip up tasty meals in the fully equipped kitchen before everyone settles down for a movie night in the living area boasting a flatscreen TV.

What's nearby:
There will be no delay in getting right into the heart of the city, as this home away sits a block from the adorable shops and restaurants that line Highway A1A. When you want to venture out a bit, fun for the whole family awaits at Ripley's Believe It or Not! (half-mile), Castillo de San Marcos National Monument (three-fourths of a mile), the Lightner Museum (one-and-a-half miles), and Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park (half-mile) just to name a few. Plus, simply walking along the water of the Matanzas River will be a great way to use an afternoon, as a plethora of shops and attractions line the bank.

A hidden gem
This was such a cute find in St Augustine. I was concerned about the location before arriving, but it was just perfect. Centrally located and left very safe. Even met a couple neighbors. Perfect size with 2 bedrooms downstairs and a loft upstairs. Great basic kitchen supplies etc so we could stay in and cook. The backyard was great in the evening to sit and relax. My little dog enjoyed it and felt right at home. The backyard was a little small and might not have been entirely closed (maybe it was) but my little dog doesn’t roam so it was no concern. Would definitely visit again

The home was very clean when we arrived and was in a great location. Had all the basic amenities that are needed. We enjoyed our stay at this home and would consider coming back again. The parking is kind of tricky. You have to park on the curb in front of the house which can be a challenge if you’re driving a larger vehicle. Our only real complaint was that the neighbor across the street wasn’t very friendly. We parked in the driveway right beside of the house just to make sure we were at the right place and he yelled at us to let us know that that’s not our driveway and that we needed to move (which we did).

Lovely house, great location, horrible backyard
We thoroughly enjoyed this lovely home and the location. Very close to all the shops, restaurants and attractions. Not a bad drive to the beach and other activities as well. Also close to the grocery store. The wi-fi worked great and loved that it had a washer and dryer… a very cozy environment for two people. Unfortunately the only negative was the backyard. We brought our dog with us and we’re so looking forward to the fenced backyard to let him out in, but as soon as we looked out the back door, the backyard was very rundown and weedy. There was also a massive beehive with 100s of bees in the bottom of the tree. We could not utilize the backyard at all and that was one of the main reasons we rented this house for our dog. If we knew the backyard was like that we would definitely not have picked this place so some attention really needs to be given to the backyard. If you’re renting and want to leave your dog outside, this is not the place for you.

Amazing!!
Such an amazing home and a perfect location if you want to stay close to the town. Was a perfect middle point for the town and also Vilano beach. The home was amazing and had plenty of room for everyone, especially in the kitchen. The main bedroom was a little warmer compared the rest but still such an amazing stay!!

The house location to the is very good. We walked to the historical part of St.Augustine. Very centric the activity.shops and restaurants. The cleanliness of the home is NOT good. The front porch and back patio sitting area is horrible. Dirt and mold all in the back area. The house needs a good cleaning and outside wash. .

We loved the location of the cottage. Great amenities- wifi worked well, tub was great, and beds were comfy. Just make sure to read about street parking and do not have cars blocking a driveway.

Can beat the location
Lovey cottage walkable to all things in town. We enjoyed being so close we didn’t have to move our car. My doggo enjoyed it as much as the humans. The house is nice with firm beds and good AC. The backyard is badly in need of maintenance so we didn’t spend time there.

Emerald Estate Cottage was charming
We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the cottage, the quiet neighborhood and it was in walking distance to many activities. If you are looking for pizza there is a pizzeria the has subs, pasta, calzones and Stromboli’s. OMG, it may not look like a five star restaurant but it is, they deliver lots of pizza. We could walk from the cottage to most places we wanted to go. The beds were soft and comfortable.

This property was even better than expected! The location was perfect, everything was walkable, and the neighborhood was quaint and quite. The interior was very clean, well stocked with anything you could need, and bigger than anticipated! Perfect for our relaxing girls trip.

FANTASTIC holiday!
Property is just perfect for exploring St. Augustine! We saw all the highlights by walking everywhere. We enjoyed a modified Thanksgiving at the house and just loved using the back yard to hang out and read in the sunshine. Simply relaxing and wonderful!!!

i rcvd the check in process six hrs prior to arriving at property. of priority concern was the door code for entrance. if anything unusual had occurred enroute, could have put us in a delayed situation. entrance info needs to be sent days prior to guests' arrival.

Great location!
We enjoyed the walkability, historic character of the location and the fenced yard for our pup. As there were only two of us, the space was more than adequate. Two main level bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths (one ensuite). The stairs to the loft bedroom are very narrow and steep, with no upper bath facilities. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciate the inclusion of some beach chairs, towels and an umbrella with the property. Parking is tight and would be difficult for more than one car at a time.
