Awesome location, 10 minutes to almost anything. A very clean, well stocked cottage. Very dog friendly, with everything you may need for your pup, including a large fenced in yard. It's a small cottage so be prepared to share space. But we had an excellent stay.

Visiting St Augustine for a wedding

The property fit our needs perfectly. It was convenient to have access to washer/dryer. It was close enough to walk into St Augustine (2 mi) and very convenient to one of the beaches. Not knowing how many friends or family may have needed a place to stay, having both a trundle bed and fold out couch provided options. It’s an older home but has all the necessities. It was perfect for our stay.

This place is super cute in a quiet residential neighborhood. Very clean and had everything we needed for the weekend. It is not a 20 min walk downtown as the listing says, more like 40+ mins. Even so, I would stay here again.
