About this property

CHARMING 2/2 COTTAGE JUST A SHORT WALK TO THE BEACH/PET FRIENDLY/ WIFI

Quaint and comfortable: 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom cottage available for rent for your vacation or get-away. Over 1100 sq. ft. of living area. Master bedroom has a queen size bed and a small flat screen tv. Guest bedroom has 2 twin beds. Each bedroom as it's own bath. Covered front porch, with a swing and porch furniture. As well as a private, screened in back porch that has a small dining table and chairs for your enjoyment. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, a coffee maker, dishes and flatware. All linens are provided as well as several beach towels.
The Cracker House is not your typical Florida beach house, a friend of ours from North Carolina, has said that it's a 'Mountain Home at the Beach". While the Cracker House is certainly not upscale, we think you will find it clean, comfortable, charming and in a very quite neighborhood, with friendly neighbors.
There are 2 grocery stores, just a short drive south on AIA, as well as numerous restaurants within walking distance from our cottage, to enjoy, if you don't feel like cooking.

PLEASE NOTE … STARTING IN 2023…PLEASE PROVIDE A COPY OF YOUR PHOTO ID AFTER YOUR BOOKING HAS BEEN CONFIRMED/ACCEPTED. YOU CAN EITHER EMAIL OR TEXT IT TO ME, BUT I MUST RECEIVE IT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR BOOKING.
THANK YOU,
PAT PARISH

For anyone traveling with a dog, this cottage is in the perfect location. There is a walkway, St Augustine Parkette, that is a block from the cottage specifically for dog walking. The neighbors were super friendly and there are a lot of dogs to meet when you take your pet out for a stroll. The beach is only two blocks away, which is very convenient. The owner was easy to contact and helpful. I left some jewelry on the nightstand and she took care of getting it back to me.

Cozy cottage

The house was perfect for our stay. On a quiet street and a short walk to beach access and restaurants. Very comfortable for us (2) and nicely equipped. Not your typical beach bungalow but very nice, cozy and clean. Would highly recommend and would return!

Every time my wife and I stayed at this cottage is a great experience. Just a few minutes away from the beach and there are many restaurants to choose from. It's our 6th time staying at this house, it truly has become our home away from home. We love it. Thank you Pat for sharing your home with us.

Patricia’s beach bungalow is very charming and quaint. Although a little outdated, everything works and is comfortable. Basic cable is available but I read another review indicating that a Roku or fire stick would be useful so we brought ours and it worked on the TV in the living room.One thing to note, if you’re traveling with a dog, the back and front sides of the backyard are not fenced, this was not an issue for us as we walk our dogs a few times every day anyway and we brought them with us during the day. The beach is just a short walk away and is leashed dog friendly. There are multiple cafes, bars and restaurants within walking distance too. We loved our stay here and will book again if we find ourselves in St Augustine again in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Parish

Host profile image
My husband Bill, and I bought the beach house in 2004, after visiting the area for over 30 years, we lucked across this little jewel...... We currently live in the mountains of Western North Carolina and hope to one day retire to St. Augustine Beach!! Life's a beach!!!

Why they chose this property

We visited the area for over 30 years prior to buying the cottage......Great beaches, antiques stores, good bike and walking trails, good music in the Summer at the pier and wonderful restaurants. We love riding our bikes into the historic district and looking at all the old houses. Which takes about 30 minutes by bike or 10 minutes by car.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home because of the way it sits back in the trees and is really pretty private. It's the 3rd house from the end, on a dead end street. We love to sit on the swing on the front porch!
