About this property

“Steeped in History” Exquisite 1919 Craftsman

Revel in the comfort and tranquility of this luxurious coquina stone Craftsman that has been completely and beautifully renovated with all modern amenities.

Take a step back in time as you cross the threshold of Casa Coquina. The nine and a half foot ceilings make for a spacious and inviting grand entry. Wonderful large windows allow an abundance of natural light throughout. Architectural details and oak flooring are original to the home.

The charming living room with a wall mounted Samsung Smart TV, opens to a spacious dining area. To satisfy culinary desires, delight in the fully equipped chef's kitchen featuring a large center island and all hi-end appliances.

All three bedrooms have king size beds, fine linens, and wall mounted Samsung Smart TVs. Towels, soaps, and hairdryers are supplied in all bathrooms. A front load washer and dryer are conveniently located on the first level. All bedrooms have room darkening shades, bedside lamps with USB ports and ceiling fans. There is high speed internet and Wi-Fi throughout the property. Among the many modern amenities this home offers, are dual master suites.

An expansive and very private upper-level master suite has an adjoining luxury dressing room and ensuite bathroom with a jetted tub shower combo. The second master suite located on the main level includes an ensuite bathroom with a rain showerhead. Bedroom three on the main level is a guest bedroom that utilizes the adjacent full bathroom. Upon request the two XL twin beds in the guest bedroom can convert to a king bed.

The large front porch is the perfect spot to start the day with a cup of coffee or to relax with a cold beverage after a day of touring. In the afternoon South Street is the route frequently taken by horse drawn carriages. Nothing evokes the feeling of tranquility more than the sound of the carriages and horse hooves clopping down the street.

Equipped with a wet bar, the glass enclosed back porch overlooks a landscaped backyard, a three-hole putting green and Solo smokeless fire pit. For the grill master, there is large gas grill and dining table for six.

Casa Coquina is located on a shady street along the Freedom Trail in the eclectic and historic neighborhood of Lincolnville, which is within the boundaries of Saint Augustine's Historic District. Immerse yourself in the culture and heritage of the Nation's Oldest City. Downtown attractions and restaurants are just a short walk.

This was a great house for our family vacation in St. Augustine. There were 6 of us, all adults, and we all had plenty of room to spread out. The house is a beautiful old craftsman style house, with all the modern conveniences. We especially loved drinking coffee on the front porch and having contests on the putting green in the backyard. The house is in a quiet, friendly neighborhood and it's a couple minute drive or a 15-20 minute walk to the historic district. We would definitely stay here again!

The house was perfect for our girls' weekend. We each had our own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen was well-appointed, and perfect for our breakfasts and happy hours. We left our cars parked and Ubered downtown to avoid parking hassles and the house was perfectly located for that. The backyard area was comfortable and a very enjoyable place to gather on a breezy evening. The house is clean and the decor is warm and lovely.

We enjoyed our stay in Casa Coquina. The weather was unusual - very cold - but the house was cozy. The kitchen very well appointed and the beds comfortable. We enjoyed our walk to “night of lights” also.

Great home in St Augustine

The home was great, clean, updated and a great location. Stayed for a few days over the July 4th holiday. Home was about a mile walk to the bridge to watch the fireworks, so we didn't have to deal with parking issues. The home is in a great neighborhood that was nice for golf cart rides and walks. Close to all of the old town shopping and dining. Would stay there again.

Great house

This house was amazing. Immaculately clean and well stocked. It also had great personality. We used the front porch, backyard, the little putting green and fire pit. The backyard was private and comfortable - a great way to sit and relax at the end of the day. Until we took a tour in St. Augustine we didn't realize how walkable the property is to many places in St. Augustine. Despite a few minor hiccups the owner and property manager were pleasant and responsive. We appreciated their support. This property is a gem

The house was beautiful! The neighborhood it is in is just as gorgeous and very quiet. You will want for nothing. You can literally walk to so many places. Great reatsurants and attractions. The whole area is just wonderful. The property manager communicated with us often and made sure we had everything we needed. We are looking forward to going back very soon.

Excellent stay again

This was our second stay at this house and as before, our experience was excellent! Both of our trips have involved a concert at St Augustine Amphitheater; the drive is easy and short from this location. Checkin and out was seamless. Communication worked well. Perfect setup for 3 couples, two bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and one bathroom in hallway. Very nicely decorated, comfortable beds, kitchen and bathrooms supplied with everything we needed. Cannot speak to ease of walking to downtown area because we spent our free time at the house. Would definitely recommend this property and we would stay here again.

Wonderful VRBO

We rented property with 2 other couples. All six of us agree this was totally a 10 rating. Everything is exactly as the pictures show. Very clean, cozy, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved the fire pit out in the back yard which was beautifully landscaped. We will definitely rent this property in the future. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Beautiful home

This home far exceeded our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we knew we made a great choice. The home was beautifully decorated and clean. The beds and pillows were so comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals while we were in town. But the highlight was definitely the location and the backyard putting green. We played outside most of the time, grilling and enjoying the firepit. We also were able to walk to breakfast and dinner in the area. Highly recommend this home to anyone looking for a vacation in St Augustine.

Simply awesome!

Perfect spot for gathering and celebrating a birthday, including plenty of space for privacy for 3 couples, friends and family. Convenient to St Augustine Amphitheater for a concert one evening. Otherwise we didn’t want to leave as we were enjoying the many amenities… a fabulous front porch with lots of seating; a private backyard with firepit & surrounding seating, outdoor table & chairs, a 3 hole putting green. Our birthday boy is an avid golfer and we had lots fun with putting competitions. Great location, quiet neighborhood, beautifully/tastefully furnished, super clean, fully stocked, attention to details (i.e., pump liquid soap and Kleenex in all bathrooms etc). Highly recommend. Definitely plan to come back.
