With over 2000 square feet this 4 bedroom/3.5 bathroom home has everything you need for a fantastic St. Augustine stay. The main house built in 2008 and cottage in 1875 have all of the modern conveniences you desire. The home design includes thoughtful touches throughout including stained glass doors and windows, hardwood floors, granite countertops, shuttered windows and original local artwork throughout.
The property is situated in a wonderful walkable neighborhood between the famed Fort Castillo De San Marcos and the beautiful Mission De Nombres. Plus it's a short and pretty walk to all of the historical sites in downtown St. Augustine.

Interaction with Guests
While we prefer to give guests all of the privacy and space they desire if you need anything at all we have a local team including caretaker on hand and we are only a text or phone call away!
The Neighborhood
Situated near downtown and all of the action but a truly residential and quiet spot with lots of old trees and breezes from Matanzas Bay. You will see families, retirees and colorful long time residents. Our neighborhood has a nice mix of architecture and home values too. Simple cottages built as servants quarters across the street and million dollar waterfront properties 1 block over. It's a very desirable spot!
Getting around
You can easily walk to most of the things you will want to see. If you do need help you can take a pedicab, taxi, horse and carriage, Segway or our bikes. We are midway between 2 beaches and you can reach Vilano by car in 4 minutes and Anastasia by car in 6 minutes.

House was clean and suited our party of 8 perfectly. The two living areas were perfect for Sunday football (avid Steelers fan in one room and Jaguars fans in the other). We were in town for a wedding and loved that we could walk to the Lightner for it. Host was very responsive to all our questions.
Our out of town guests for a wedding loved this house! We also rented the property next door which made it so easy for family to interact. There was perfect space for everyone. Easy walk to downtown. More than enough off road parking. Definitely recommend!!
We enjoyed a wonderful week. This property was an ideal location to downtown shops and restaurants. We throughly enjoyed the pool, and the layout of the property gave two families room to breathe.
Our group of five women - affectionately known as The Hens - absolutely loved our stay! The house was beautiful, spotless, and so comfortable, with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway.The location was perfect - close to everything. We spent our days exploring and our evenings laughing together in the cozy living space playing games. It was truly the ideal spot for our girls’ trip.Thank you for being such a wonderful host and for sharing this lovely home. We are already talking about coming back next year.

What a wonderful review! You covered everything that someone might need to know, but most importantly, I love the fact that the Hens found it a great place to get together and catch up! ❤️ Welcome back anytime! ☺️
My sister had her wedding there so we rented the house for the weekend and that worked out great because it was close to ever thing.
Loved the stay and would stay there again.
The property was just perfect for our family. The location, size, cleanliness, and amenities could not have been better! We found Ms. Webb to be a wonderful property owner. Nothing but good memories of our stay!
We could not have asked for a more perfect place for our family to stay while in St. Augustine for a family wedding! It was close to downtown and the house was lovely, the owner very responsive and helpful! 5 stars all around!
We had a wonderful and very relaxing stay. The pool was great!! The house and the cottage were perfect for our family. All the amenities were great. We walked to town everyday and loved the quiet neighborhood.
We wish all VRBO's were this nice!

Thanks Ryan! Nice to hear it worked out for everyone. Hope to have you back sometime:-) Pauline
This was a perfect spot for our family-even the dog! Each couple had their own space-we were able to walk to everything. The host could not have been more accomodatig,
We chose the most perfect place for our annual girl's getaway. This location was within walking distance to downtown and so super cute. The entire stay was perfect. From the booking, to the check in process, to the detailed book for guest, to check out. Pauline was amazing to work with!

Great vacation
The houses were perfect in every way. The location was great and the rental was very nice. Pauline was super to deal with if you have any questions she got right back to you. If we come back to st. Augustine again we will surely stay here.

This large, well designed and easy-to-operate house is perfect for a comfortable and fully stocked place to relax in a large, clean pool after a day of exploring St. Augustine. Easy walk into town. Great host. Beautiful property. Be careful of parking if you have more than 3 cars!

Why they chose this property
There are certain neighborhoods in St. Augustine that we have always enjoyed strolling through. Historic Abbott Tract (our neighborhood) has always been at the top of the list. Snuggled in between the Fort and the Mission alongside the beautiful Matanzas Bay it's one the best bases for exploring the exciting and historic downtown core. So when we found this unique home (which is basically two homes connected) we knew right away that it was perfect for us. We felt it had the right blend of architecture (some old and some new) and we loved the layout and overall vibe. We added the heated saline pool right away because the lot was small and it seemed the best way to utilize the space. We were right-it's been a big hit ever since! But the best part is walking to everything. At night when you walk past the beautifully lit Castillo De San Marcos on your way to dinner you know that you are lucky indeed! We hope you find your time in our home and neighborhood special too.
What makes this property unique
This architect designed property is unique in that you have a wonderful mesh of old and new. The 2 story portion built in 2006 connects via glassed in breezeway to the lovingly restored cottage built in 1875. Heart pine floors, plantation shutters and tropical colors bind these structures together yet the open floor plan allows for modern living and conveniences. We love how comfortable it is to live in this home. It's upscale but relaxed. It feels fresh yet you notice touches of age with original bead board ceilings, stained glass windows and antique doors. With tons of windows it seems always to be full of sunshine. Comfortable and cozy. The location is exceptional and the neighborhood vibe is one of community and diversity. Everybody knows everybody...and we love it that way.
