About this property

Cobalt Cottage -- History at your doorstep

Fabulous Cobalt Cottage is located right in the heart of Historic St Augustine. While peacefully residential, you will be delighted to find shops and restaurants just a short stroll away. Downtown St Augustine is a vibrant area full of art galleries, many shops filled with locally made clothing and crafts, and a multitude of restaurants full of unique dishes whose tantalizing scents lure you inside. A pristine and charming home in a most perfect location. Come Visit!

Cobalt Cottage is tastefully remodeled inside and out. While everything is new, the charm of the historic district and the exquisite details in this home will make you believe that you have just stepped back into the 1800's. A most magnificent kitchen with large center island invites the most discerning of chefs and gives the family a fabulous place for friends to gather and enjoy. True hardwood floors. Italian leather recliners and sofa in the living room give a rich and comfortable presence and are wonderfully tempting to curl up and enjoy a lazy day. The Trolley passes in front of Cobalt Cottage and is enchanting to listen to the sounds of St Augustine as they pass by telling the history of our street and town. A stroll into commercial downtown exudes charm with the clip clop of the horses' hooves pulling a buggy. We invite you to discover our Nation's Oldest City in all its charm!

We hold nothing back and want for you to enjoy all of this home in all of its splendor. Welcome.

This home is in a charming neighborhood of historic makeovers, brand new modern homes and homes that have stayed exactly the same for years as they are passed down in the family. You are a very short walk to downtown and St George Street with all the shops and restaurants. Fabulous place to watch the Nights of Lights which is everyone's favorite time of year, mid November until end of January.

This home has 4 spaces for cars to park off street so you can bring a car, however it is totally walkable to everything downtown. Just over the bridge you will find Anastasia Island where you will enjoy our beautiful beaches. Downtown also has horse and buggy rides, red trolly and green trolly which take you to places downtown and also one of them will take you to the island.

While parking spaces downtown may be few and far between, at Cobalt Cottage you will find room to park 4 cars tandem on the side of the house. Also, the proximity to St George Street (please check it out), the marina and everything downtown is all within walking distance of this charming home.
You must be at least 25 years of age in order to make a reservation. The person who makes the reservation must occupy the residence for the duration of the reservation.

We rented this home for our daughter’s wedding weekend and it was absolutely perfect for our group of six adults and three children. The layout worked so well, with a master suite and 1.5 baths downstairs, plus three bedrooms and an additional bathroom upstairs. Everything we needed was provided, and the website clearly outlined exactly what was included.The location couldn’t have been better—walking distance to everything, which made it so convenient for our stay. The only small suggestion I’d make is to bring along a few extra paper towels, but otherwise everything was just right.We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this home to anyone looking for comfort, convenience, and a great location.

Great location that is walkable to all of downtown St. Augustine. It had a bright, spacious downstairs kitchen and living area. The bridal party stayed here for a wedding and it was very clean, big, and perfect for what we needed. However, the plumbing kept going in and out in the bathrooms and at one point, one of the two showers did not work in the house. I think this is just a current issue and can easily be resolved. Other than that, the place was great and I would recommend to others!

We visited St. Augustine for the weekend for my wife's birthday, and really enjoyed our stay at Cobalt Cottage. It was clean, very well maintained, and exactly as described by VRBO. It's also in a quaint & quiet neighborhood, close to everything. We intend to visit and stay there again.
