Meals are easily prepared and served in the fully equipped kitchen, and popular Brisky's Barbecue is just a few steps away for quick southern take-out fare.

Visiting daughter
Enjoyed the cottage and bungalow. The back area was wonderful for our 2 dogs, it’s very secure. The only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5, is the lack of privacy from the window shades.

Vedder Cottage was very conveniently located near both the beach and historical St. Augustine. The owner was quick to respond to questions or concerns (The power went out briefly during a storm. )

The good/bad
The cottage was very nicely decorated and comfortable except for the master bedroom. It would be fine if they would put up better window coverings for nighttime privacy when a light is on. Easy fix but they haven't done it though others have mentioned it. . The sunroom and the yard were nice. Now, for the downside. There is constant noise of engines running from very early morning through late morning from a food service trucking site visible from the home. The side of the house is only 10' from a solid concrete wall, well camoflaged,which is the back of a Rodeway Inn. Shady characters. There are trains that run almost every half to one hour. The track is so close that the windows shake and it is very loud. I was embarrassed when our company came to visit mainly because of the location. Walking to the old town is really not possible because on highway with no good walking path. Parking a royal pain and expensive. Even though I thought the cottage was really nice I would not stay there again. The itrip management company was excellent!!! They took care of our needs right away.

Weekend getaway
Me and my family stayed here and it was a blast. We were able to take the dogs and it wasn’t far from the sites. The guest house was very cool and enjoyed the outdoor fire pit and lights. Can’t wait to go back.
