About this property

Charming Cottage In St. Augustine Historic District

After spending some time in St. Augustine, our family fell in love with the city and wanted our own piece of this historical gem. While we’d love to enjoy our charming cottage year round, “real life” calls in another state and we’ve decided to share it with others.
Located in historic downtown St. Augustine, close to the hustle and bustle, but nestled in a peaceful neighborhood called Lincolnville, this vacation rental is waiting for your arrival! Walk or bike to the fantastic attractions St. Augustine offers. For those who enjoy dining out, we are close to several lovely restaurants in the Lincolnville neighborhood.
This charming 3 bedroom/2 bath cottage provides our guests a retreat with a true neighborhood feel. With an open concept kitchen and living area, the cottage offers an airy and inviting space great for relaxing with family and friends.
There is plenty of storage space as each room has a closet and dresser and guests will find a spacious king sized bed in the master, two twin beds in the second bedroom, and a queen size bed in the third bedroom. Full-sized washer and dryer are provided as well. Families traveling with little ones will find a pack and play and high chair stored in the closet of the master bedroom. When not sightseeing or shopping in town, relax outdoors either on the front porch or on the private back patio where guests can grill and dine al fresco, or just kick back with a book.
For those who enjoy swimming there is a neighborhood pool (open Memorial Day through Labor Day) located just down the street from the cottage as well as a playground, basketball courts and walking paths.
This cute cottage is a great choice for those who want to explore historical St. Augustine without sacrificing the comforts of an inviting home.

My friend and I spent a weekend in Saint Augustine and this was the perfect place for us to spend two nights. We walked everywhere. It was very conveniently located and the house had everything we needed, include beach towels, and beach chairs.

Wonderful stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our time here. The house is prefessionally decorated, is in a quiet neighborhood, and is located approxilately 1 mile of downtown and restaurants. Meredith the owner and Angela the property manager could not have been nicer or more responsive to our inquiries. Overall it was a wonderful stay.

Great property, will visit again!

Clean, modern, and well-stocked with essentials. We also found it to be baby/toddler friendly inside. Backyard and porch are nice to have; we walked to breakfast a few times and also to downtown St Aug from the house. Cool neighborhood, close to everything. Thank you for providing a nice stay!

Mother daughter weekend getaway

There was 5 of us in our group and the house was perfect for us. Plenty of room and it was clean and comfortable. Everyone said they would stay there again. It was a quick easy Uber drive to downtown. The house had the all the amenities so if you forgot something they most likely had it there.

Biking Saint Augustine

This is a great property if you want to be close to the fort but not in the middle all the busy Christmas crowds! We biked through beautiful neighborhoods and were close to the Saint Augustine Distillery & Fish Camp Restaurant. The neighbors were very pleasant too. Thanks for a great staycation!

Misleading!

Have you ever been in a situation where you felt uneasy and scared? Well, that's how me and my elderly sisters felt when we pulled up to this so called charming cottage. It was dark and deserted looking on the street. I'll share pictures of the house and neighboring houses to show you what I mean. Immediately, I called the owner and explained to her that we didn't feel comfortable getting out of our car much less going in the house. She talked me into going in because she said it was a beautiful place. We went in but didn't feel the same way about her rental. We called back to say we were not going to stay there and she told us to contact VRBO to get our money back. VRBO informed me that the owner made the ultimate decision on getting my money back. She decided I didn't get anything back. I was even charged a cleaning fee and we never stayed at the house. Let this be a warning...if you rent a place and are scared to stay there the owner can keep your money. My advice... stay away from this one. See attached photos.

About the host

Hosted by Meredith Hoffmann

Host profile image
We are a German/American family of five who love to travel and enjoy the beach. Having lived in exotic places of the world such as Hawaii and Thailand, then to Birmingham, AL and currently Austin, TX. In the springtime, we spent a lot of time in St. Augustine when my husband was placed there temporarily for work. With three children ages 11 and under, we found St. Augustine to be a wonderful, family-friendly getaway and we wanted a piece of it.
