About this property
Charming 3BR/2BA Artisan Cottage, Heart of St. Augustine
Welcome to the charming Downtown St. Augustine Guest House, nestled in the heart of the historic city. Tucked away on a quaint, tree-lined street, our prime location is just a stone's throw from a delightful array of dining options, iconic historical sites, St. George Street's shopping district, the picturesque Bayfront, and all the city's attractions. You'll be pleased to know that Francis Field, where numerous festivals take place, is only a two-minute stroll away.
We've designed this sanctuary to be your perfect base for exploring the Old City. After a day of sightseeing, return to unwind and recharge in our serene retreat. The enclosed front, side, and backyard boast tropical lemon and orange fruit trees. Fancy a BBQ? Our private backyard comes complete with a gas grill, and a Bluetooth BOSE speaker is at your service for outdoor ambiance. We've even added a stone patio and fire pit, enhancing your home away from home.
Anticipating your every need has been our mission, and over the years, we've fine-tuned every detail. As VRBO Preferred Partners and SuperHosts, our unique home features artistic touches, including hand-painted Sticks furniture, Shoestring Creations headboards, and Mackenzie Child's decor throughout. We take pride in showcasing local art, particularly with a focus on mermaids, sea horses, and sea turtles, which lend our top vacation rental its captivating theme. When you stay with us, you'll have fun counting how many of each you can spot!
Conveniently situated just off San Marco Avenue, in St. Augustine's Uptown neighborhood, our location is surrounded by amazing restaurants and enticing shops, offering everything from clothing and home decor to vintage treasures. Within a quick walk, you'll discover Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, the Old Town Trolley, the majestic Fort, and the enchanting Bayfront. Plus, Vilano Beach is just a 5-10 minute drive away.
We're seriously passionate about hosting, and we've crafted a guest experience that you won't want to leave behind. We're confident that our house will capture your heart as it has ours, adorned with love, care, and the hope that you'll return time and again.
For those seeking extra space, consider one of our fantastic Guest Houses, situated near the Old Jail and the Fountain of Youth. With two distinctive homes on one property, including an Artsy Industrial renovated Warehouse, they offer an irresistible blend of love, art, and color. Book 1 or all 3!!

About the host
Hosted by Wendy and David
Wendy and I are professional entrepreneurs running TeamBonding, a fun and challenging corporate event company. We live most of the year outside of Boston in the town of Sharon, MA overlooking Lake Massapoag in our empty-nesting house. In 2021 we stayed in St Augustine from January through March in this house and we loved it so much, we bought another vacation rental just a few blocks away so we could come down more often.
We were busy in 2022 and early 2023 working on our dream reno project. We took an existing warehouse and turned it into an artsy industrial vacation rental. It's a combination of art and an industrial vibe!

Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because during a business trip to Amelia Island, we ventured on a one hour and fifteen-minute drive to St. Augustine while it was beautifully adorned for the Nights of Lights. We instantly fell in love with the town, and the fact that it was celebrating its 450th anniversary during our visit made it even more special. Before this trip, we were not even aware of the existence of St. Augustine. Intrigued by the charm and history of the place, we embarked on a house-hunting journey but couldn't find the right fit at first. Therefore, we decided to rent the Original St. Augustine Guest House on Hypolita Street until early 2020. Surprisingly, shortly after this rental, we stumbled upon and purchased the house on Loring Street, which we hold a deep affection for and are confident you will too.
What makes this property unique
This house boasts a unique and captivating charm that sets it apart. Tucked away on a hidden street just off San Marco, it's mere minutes from the bustling gate and the picturesque Bayfront. Nestled near Francis Field, this home offers the best of both worlds: it's conveniently close to all the attractions, yet it maintains an exclusive, secluded, and private ambiance. You'll find no need for your car, as the convenience of walking to nearby destinations awaits you.
Inside, this residence features an exceptional open layout, recently updated with the finest furnishings and appointments. It offers a spacious and modern living space, complete with three comfortable bedrooms. The real gem of this property is the backyard, featuring a firepit and BBQ, perfect for outdoor gatherings and relaxation.
