About this property

Charming 2BR Uptown Cottage - Artsy & Vibrant!

Imagine your St. Augustine escape at our charming short-term rental, where the essence of adventure meets the comfort of home. This modern cottage is a whimsical blend of artistry, uniqueness, and practicality.

Step inside, and you'll find an abundance of space for relaxation both indoors and in the inviting outdoor areas. What sets our cottage apart is its two master suites, thoughtfully separated by an enchanting screened-in porch. This feature allows couples, families, or friends traveling together to relish their own private spaces. The main house boasts a studio king en suite, while the Studio Suite showcases a splendid king bed (complete with a Purple mattress), a twin-over-full adult bunk bed from Restoration Hardware, a brand-new bathroom, and even its own convenient coffee bar, microwave, and mini fridge.

The walls adorned with local artwork create a sense of waking up in an art gallery, while the vaulted wood ceilings and tiled floors provide a cozy backdrop for an eclectic array of artisan furniture, including pieces from Sticks, Shoestring Creations, David Marsh, Restoration Hardware, Mackenzie Childs, and more.

Embrace modern living with the latest in technology, such as three top-of-the-line TVs, a Sonos wireless music system, and Smart Home automation throughout.

Outside, the property is guarded by the majestic Amazing Love Tree, lending an air of ancient enchantment. The tree swing, a favorite spot for daydreaming, is just one of the many delightful spots awaiting your discovery.

As designated VRBO Premier Hosts, we take your St. Augustine retreat seriously. We love hearing from our guests that we've thought of everything, and we aim to make your stay as extraordinary as our own experiences here.

Sanchez Suites offers the perfect Uptown location. Just a short walk away from renowned landmarks like Ponce de Leon, the Fountain of Youth, the Old Jail, and Ripley’s Believe It or Not. Amazing restaurants, clothing, home and furniture shops line the street as you walk towards town. For the culinary and shopping enthusiasts, a quick trolley ride down the street will take you to some of St. Augustine's finest establishments.

Perfect location and wonderful hosts

This location was perfect for a quick walk to the trolly stop if you want to explore St. Augustine. The location is also a nice quiet street. The hosts make the space feel like home. The spare room was perfect for our teens and the porch was a great place to spend time as a family and play board games. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Perfect for 2 couples

So cool for 2 couples to have their own totally separate quarters and meet together in the middle in the screened in breezeway for happy hour. Clean, charming decor, really quiet, and easy walk to St. George Street, downtown attractions and restaurants. Would happily stay here again.

Really perfect in every way!

This was a quick trip with friends to see the St Augustine Night of Lights. Our friends stay at a hotel that was only 2 blocks away so the location was perfect. We were able to walk to everything. The home was perfect for us as we were traveling with one of our adult sons. His room was in the studio connected to the main house by a beautifully screened area. David and Wendy were very responsive and have taken great care to provide everything we needed. Wendy has excellent taste and the Artsy theme is really fun. I highly recommend this home when visiting St. Augustine!

St. Augustine getaway.

If you are looking for a wonderful place to stay, look no further. This home is beautiful. Minutes from all attractions yet a quiet place to relax in the evenings. The beds were very comfortable. The bathrooms were wonderful and very modern. The entire house was spotless and offered all the little extras you would need in both the kitchen and bathrooms. I would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Saint Augustine

The property was exactly as described. Dave and Wendy provided all the amenities we needed and were quick to answer any questions we had. The location is convenient. What I loved was that the 2 couples in our party had very private areas to be in. Tha screened porch is awesome!

Choose this place!

I am one of those people that will spend weeks looking for a place and will often feel overwhelmed by the choices and anxiety over if it will be a good choice. If this is you too, then book this place. Truly the perfect location to historic downtown but also a close drive to anything you might need. Neighborhood was quiet, the porch is amazing and the separation of the two bedrooms is really unique. Lastly, the owners are amazing. Great communicators and truly willing to go above and beyond. I also appreciated them being open to feedback! You wont regret staying here!!!

Great family weekend

Lots of space for us to be together and then we all had our private retreats when we had about enough (IYKYK). My sister and her family rented the Art House behind this rental and my kids had the bunk room. It’s was such a close walk to the Fountain of Youth and we did the trolley from there ALL OVER. I did a lot of cooking here. They have everything you need to make family meals and snacks (aside from groceries, of course). There are two Publix that are close. I’ve already ordered the blender they have there. Loved it. We played a bunch of games - the variety of games is fantastic. Every comfort and concern was considered in the amenities and design. Decor is ADORABLE - everything is gorgeous here. If you want to visit St. Augustine and there’s a lot of you - choose this place. You won’t regret it.

Great place

Renting this property was simple and not much communication was needed. The property is everything you see and some more. So much attention to detail. The art, the games, all the areas to relax and take advantage of vacation with family. This place is great for small families or groups. Would definitely return if I come back to St. Augustine.

The best host we’ve ever had. Extremely helpful and warm. The house literally has everything. I mean even big ice cubes for bourbon. They thought of everything. The house is so fun. My son loved all the shells around the house and the beds were super comfy. We wanted to stay longer. It was wonderful :)

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and David

Host profile image
Wendy and David have been married for 33 years, work together running a Global Team Building company, and have 3 children, Samantha, Baylee, and Tyler. They were the inspiration and the beneficiaries of their Short Term Rental in Sharon, MA which helped to pay for college tuition for all three children. The first St. Augustine Guest House was right in the heart of the historic district and then they were hooked. Wendy has an amazing talent for decorating and yes, shopping and David loves smart technology, and together they have created the most unique vacation rentals you'll ever see. Seeing guests happy and loving their homes and their time in St. Augustine is why they do what they do.

Why they chose this property

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, David and Wendy had two guest houses and although they loved the one in the historic district, they had to let it go so they focused all their energy on their downtown guest house on Loring and their guests continued to love it. While they were living in St. Augustine in early 2021, this house went for sale and they toured it and bought it in April. This house is so fun, so well located that they know you'll love it. Sanchez Suites is a mix of love, art, and color. In early 2023, the warehouse behind the house will be a new industrial vacation rental.

What makes this property unique

Interior offers stunning tile flooring, vaulted ceilings, gorgeous cabinets, granite, and all appliances. The full bath has jetted tub and a separate shower in the main house. This house is truly one-of-a-kind with a 16 x 20 separate king studio ensuite with a brand new bathroom off the fully enclosed screened porch. It's like 2 spaces in 1! New wireless Sonos speakers were added this year!
