Neighborhood overview:
The Lincolnville Historic District neighborhood is a friendly and welcoming residential community filled with charming architecture and personalities. You will find that the neighborhood is diverse with many interesting people of various backgrounds, and that they care about their community. There are several active and welcoming churches in the Lincolnville Historic District, one of which can be seen from the front of the cottage, so close that you can clearly hear the choir on Sunday from the porch. There are four (4) restaurants in the Lincolnville Historic District- The Blue Hen; the Ice Plant Bar; The Preserved; and Crave Food Truck. Lincolnville was a victim of redlining by the Federal Government and the private sector, the evidence of which still exists to this day. I encourage anyone who is not familiar with the practice of redlining to probe the subject. Bear in mind that St. Augustine is over 450 years old, and every neighborhood in Downtown St. Augustine has buildings that are in disrepair and could use a bit of work, including Lincolnville. If you don't wish see buildings that are architecturally contributing while perhaps in need of a little or a lot of work, then Lincolnville, or other neighborhoods Downtown, may not be the correct fit for you. Lincolnville in particular is experiencing a period of revitalization, so don't allow the derelict architecturally contributing buildings deter you from the rich history that the neighborhood and Downtown have to offer.

I live close to my rental property, and am available 24/7 to respond to any issues or concerns.

As your host, you can expect that I will NOT come onto the property unannounced. The only exception could be when I pull the trash and recycling carts to the street for collection. Trash is collected on Tuesday, and recycling on Friday. Usually I contact guests before I pull the carts, but sometimes I forget. Trash carts live in the side of the front yard.

If I need to do something such as cut the grass, water the plants, or retrieve something from the storage shed, I will contact the guest in advance. I don't wish to cause a disturbance, so if another time is better for you just let me know.

Wonderful house and location

Blake is a wonderful host. The photos don’t do the place justice. It feels far more spacious than the photos or square footage would indicate. We honeymooned here and it was perfect for us. Great for strolling about and cycling around the neighborhood and town, quiet and safe. Thank you!

Another Awesome Stay!!

The Shotgun House is where we love to stay when we visit St. Augustine. The house is in a great location, where you can park your car and walk to St. George St. in a matter of minutes. Fresh paint, exposed beams and duct work give an eclectic, updated look to a 1930's house that has all of the necessities. Owner Blake is just a call away and is very knowledgeable about the area, and he's always pleasant. We love our stays at this house!!

The host was amazing! The check-in process was very easy and everything was exactly as described. Directions were detailed and included everything we needed. We had a great get-away and didn’t have to worry about driving downtown because everything we wanted to do was within walking distance.

Cozy comfy cottage in good walking area

Stayed in this shotgun style St Augustine updated historic, 2 bedroom 2 bath house for 4 nights. Very comfortable home in quiet area in historic community. Just me and husband but would easily be comfortable for additional adults or kids. Fairly well equipped for a small house and had nice small garden in back with deck where we had breakfast. Recommend for 2 - 4 people and st Augustine is a fine city to visit. Owner very responsive and attentive to house details.

About the host

Hosted by Blake

Host profile image
Grew up on a farm in Charlottesville, Virginia. Graduated from Flagler College in 2012. I'm a full-time host who lives close to my rental.

Why they chose this property

I purchased and rehabilitated the house in 2009 while attending Flagler College, where I lived until 2015 when I converted the house to a vacation rental. My dad helped me rehabilitate the house and add the finishing touches. I literally love the house, as I don't plan to ever sell it, but rather pass it to my son Felix.

What makes this property unique

I'm available 24/7.
