About this property

The ArtHouse: Where Industrial Charm Meets Creative Inspiration

Welcome to our one-of-a-kind accommodation option in Downtown St. Augustine! If you're looking for a unique and memorable stay, you've come to the right place. Our property has undergone a Peace, Love & Happiness-inspired renovation, and the results are truly extraordinary. We poured our love into every piece of this build.

As soon as you step inside, you'll be captivated by the artistry that went into creating this space. Local artisans poured their talent into crafting the handmade kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and out of state crafters handmade the beds and headboards. The centerpiece of the kitchen is an exquisite red cedar epoxy island countertop, a true work of art in itself, created by a local St. Augustine crew.

One of the most eye-catching features is the wall adorned with the renowned "Spread Love" graffiti and a stunning St. Augustine mural greeting you outside, which sets the tone for the entire space. This graffiti art not only adds a unique character to the property but also serves as a constant reminder of the positive vibes and love that permeates your stay here.

The outside space is appropriately named The Bamboo Garden. In the corner you'll find tall bamboo, with colorful bottle caps lining the ground underneath. A picnic table, games, and cafe lights lend to a peaceful break from touring the city.

Our property is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience, a celebration of art, love, and positivity. We invite you to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere we've created, and to explore the vibrant city of St. Augustine, knowing that you can always return to your peaceful and eclectic sanctuary. Peace, Love and happiness await you here, and we can't wait to share it with you.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

Need more space? In the front of the property we have a separate Vacation Rental. Separate parking and entrances, and no shared space. We welcome your friends or family to book our Artsy, 2 bed/2 bath Cottage that sleeps 4-6 guests! Guests will find 2 King en suites, plus an additional twin over full Renovation Hardware bunk bed in the second suite. A delightful screened in porch separates the two suites. In front, is a porch with 2 rocking chairs. Life is Good!

From the moment we walked into the “Love Shack, realized it was far, the best We have ever stayed.
Without a doubt, every square inch of the love shack kept us in awe. While being very artistically done, it was cozy and fun.

I am a little hippy lover at heart. I loved this place. It was so creative and decorated so well. Also felt like you have thought of every need a person could have from coffee creamer to chapstick and sun screen. Thanks for making the place super groovy and inviting. Definitely would stay again

Outstanding, the best place we’ve ever stayed!
Wow! I have no words to describe how amazing is this place, it’s like staying at a museum of art, love, music. We loved every little detail of the decoration. It’s so well equipped with all you need for a memorable stay, the kitchen has everything you need for making complete meals, and everything is brand new. I’d love to have the opportunity to come back, staying there is such a wonderful experience! Thanks Wendy & David for all the love you put in this place and sharing it with the guests!

THE ARTHOUSE: Perfection!
Our NYE holiday was amazing. The ‘Arthouse’ was so much more than expected; and the hosts could not have been more thoughtful or responsive - so many little, special details! We will definitely return if we are back in St. Augustine in the future. David and Wendy, thank you so very much!

Christmas in St. Augustine
We booked for four of us, but it turned out to only be 2.The Art House was way more room than we needed, but it was a great location and very comfortable and pleasant.We were in need of nothing...great king bed, shower, all linens, TV's in all rooms, coffee maker and toaster. The art work througout is amazing and lively. Highly recommend. We did have a problem with the combination lock. Whether to hit the checkmark or not hit it. Seemed instructions need review.

The Art House is the place to stay! This was a very special experience for all of us staying at the Art House! Every detail was exactly as listed and the colors were all bright and gave a happy feeling. Not far to walk to town so we didn’t have to drive to see the lights! The house is fully supplied with kitchen and bathroom items! Open floor plan so we could all be together! We will return to stay here soon! Not one complaint!

Birthday Celebration Weekend
Our family had a fantastic extended weekend at the ArtHouse in one of our very favorite places - St. Augustine! Having been there many times over the years, this by far was one of the best ever thanks to the extraordinarily fun and vibrant atmosphere of The ArtHouse. As others have noted, there was an intriguing surprise awaiting discovery around every corner. The kitchen and bathrooms are not only masterpieces, they are also stocked above and beyond. David and Wendy are quick to communicate and have a seamless process in place from check-in to check-out…and certainly all in between! They even took an extra step to display a “Happy Birthday” message for our daughter on the living room sign board that added to our family moment! We HIGHLY recommend The ArtHouse if you are looking for an extraordinarily unique family-experience atmosphere!

Blown away, such a fun place.
I booked the Art house for a weekend getaway with some buddies, and this place exceeded all our expectations. The online photos are stunning, but nothing compares to walking through the door and being instantly immersed in the inviting atmosphere. Every detail is thoughtfully designed to create a vibe that’s both cool and relaxing. The property itself is beautiful and conveniently located within walking distance of all the best spots in St. Augustine. We felt right at home, and it was the perfect backdrop for our adventures. I can’t recommend this place enough—definitely planning to return! 10 out of 10 stars!

We had a great time. This is the best rental we have ever booked! It was very clean and thoroughly stocked. Everyday we discovered something new! It was so much fun looking at the details and decor of the unit. It’s a very convenient safe location. We walked to coffee shops and stores were less than 1 mile. Would book there again!

Awesome Accommodations
As soon as we entered we were amazed with the artwork and attention to detail in every room. The location was perfect as we were close to restaurants, downtown, and the beach. If this wasn’t our first visit to St Augustine, I would’ve been content to spend more time relaxing at this property. However, I was overruled as my family had other thoughts of the beach, sightseeing, and shopping. We would definitely recommend this property as we have already begun discussing a return visit in the near future. Thank you, Wendy and David for sharing your property with us!

Quirky fun gem in the heart of St. Augustine
What a great stay we had in St. Augustine and the Art House. The place was absolutely adorably fun and quirky and immaculate when we arrived. Two girlfriends and myself stayed and had more than enough space. Would be perfect for a group of friends or several family members with the three large bedrooms. It did not have much of an outdoor area, if that's what you're looking for, but it wasn't a necessity for our trip. It was in a great location, just north of the downtown historic distance, which was within a walking area of 1 mile. It was a short 15 minute drive to several incredible beaches and attractions. The hosts were extremely responsive and even answered our texts later on the evening we arrived to insure we made it there and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and David

Host profile image
Wendy and David are entrepreneurs. By day they run a successful corporate team, building company, and by night and weekends, they run their passion project which is hosting guests in St. Augustine at three different vacation rentals. The ArtHouse is really special and creating it challenged all of Wendy's design skills and decorating with color. What would you do with an empty warehouse? It wasn't a question for us as we wanted to turn it into a funky, industrial, hippie-chic, vacation rental. You'll see a photo where we started with a cement floor and everything from there is architecturally designed, colorfully decorated, and furnished with fun and love. What's really fun for us is if you see any of the three guest houses, you'll see our favorite furniture, favorite designers, local artwork, and custom cabinets. What makes it really special is that people feel at home in these unique spaces and we really get a kick out of making people happy.

Why they chose this property

In front of The ArtHouse is Sanchez Suites our two-bedroom, two-bathroom dogtrot cottage, which we've been staying in on and off for the past year or so. It is a short-term rental when we're not there and guests love it. It is a relatively new house in the old city, and when we bought it, it came with the warehouse. We knew then, that was the special part of the property. We are three houses up from San Marco, across the street from the Fountain of Youth, and in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and historic downtown. What's not to love?

What makes this property unique

Everything! It is the most unique vacation rental in the city of Saint Augustine and the surrounding areas.
