Great staycation spot in St Auggies
We went for a weekend during nights of lights this year. The layout and amenities of the cottage were excellent. The beds were comfortable and the location was just a short walk down to the center of town. This may just be our new home away from home.

Perfect Anniversary Trip
This was a perfect weekend get away for our anniversary. The property is in an ideal location for our trip. If you don’t have any mobility issues, a quick walk got us to all the restaurants and museums. The owners were friendly and quick to respond to our questions. Make sure you make time for breakfast at the nearby cafe named Sunday but get there early.

Amazing stay
We really enjoyed our stay. From the cottage, to the beautiful pool and grilling on the BBQ. All was perfect. We were close enough to town that we never used our car. We will be staying here again the next time we are in town. Thank you for a great stay

Amazing location!
My mother and I stayed here for a week and loved it! First, this is a quiet and cute cottage in the best location possible - you can walk everywhere, easily. The property is meticulously maintained, the pool was refreshing after a hot day, & the cottage was clean and comfortable. I recommend staying here - it’s close to everything and has everything you need for a vacation is provided.

Quiet, Comfortable, and Close to Everything!
Great place to stay, and a great find in St. Augustine! We could walk to pretty much everything we wanted to, with the exception of the beach. And after a day of walking through the downtown, we would unwind in the pool and hot tub. The provided guide book is extremely helpful and was a go-to for things to do and places to eat. We will definitely stay again!
