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.


CHECK-OUT PROCEDURE:
Guest will NOT be given a list of chores to complete at check-out. Simply lock the door and leave. Host prefers to take care of everything.

Great location, great private deck and front porch

Loved the cute, vaulted-ceiling house in historic neighborhood. Appreciate that it's not a cookie-cutter, suburban neighborhood, but one where "regular" people live. A few blocks from oldest house in St Augustine and a walkable lake. Thanks, Blake, for contributing to the vitality of the neighborhood. Very spacious. Would stay again.

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.
