Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2002

Peter and I found this cottage while visiting St Augustine in 2002. We were completely suduced by the setting beneath the Lighthouse. Our decision was cinched when we learned the home was built by the last Lighkeeper stationed in St Augustine. We began our restoration and finished just in time for Peter to be asked back to California for his work. We are able to spend part of the year at the cottage and really enjoy welcomeing our guests the rest of the time. We have welcomed people from all walks of life and from far and near. We hope we will one day welcome you too!

Why the Owner Chose St. Augustine

I mentioned briefly that we were excited about the idea of living next to the Lighthouse. As it turns out - the good people there are the best neighbors you can hope for. The Lighthouse sits on about 9 beautifully kept acres. We enjoy walking over and saying hello to the volunteers and staff whenever we are in town. Where else can you go where everyone is smiling and looking skyward. I strongly urge anyone who visits St Augustine to stop in to the Lighthouse and Museum and see what they are doing for the preservation of our maritime history. They have boat building programs and launches, treasure hunts, serious science and festivals. If you want to see the most spectacular views from the sea to The Ancient City this the way to do it only 219 steps. We love it. The Salt Run lagoon is another alluring feature, with a fishing pier, boat let-in, the boat moorings, all very peaceful. The water birds are just astounding.

    • We had a great stay over the 4th of July. We loved the Cottage, and are planning to come back next year. The Light House was wonderful to look at threw the trees at night. The cottage was very clean and peaceful.

    • We stayed in the this cottage in July for a few nights and it was wonderful!The house was adorable and clean. Very peaceful. It was great to walk our little dogs down the block out on the pier- it was beautiful even though it rained most of the time. We didnt get a chance to visit the lighthouse because it was closed for a majority of the trip due to lightning:( We hope to go back soon when we can stay longer.

    • My wife and I spent a week at this lovely cottage. We were so happy with the setting and location. The garden is just so relaxing and you can see the Lighthouse lit up at night from there. We went to the beach everyday and had family over in the evenings to barbeque and enjoy the gardens. Everything was great great great!

    • Thank you for providing such a comfortable, relaxing atmosphere for our weekend getaway. Our dogs loved chasing lizards and butterflies in the fenced garden!
