About this property

Mermaid Cottage – 3 BDR Charmer!

Summary:
Whether you're exploring the historical sites, lounging on the pristine beaches, or simply enjoying the welcoming Southern hospitality, St. Augustine invites you to create lasting memories in a destination where the past and present seamlessly intertwine.

The Space:
Mermaid Cottage offers the perfect blend of nostalgic mid-century aesthetics and contemporary comforts mixed with a little Mermaid charm., This enchanting 3-bedroom 2-bath home, just across the San Sebastian River from the city center, gladly welcomes you to this dynamic area where vibrant culture meets timeless beauty. A spacious and scenic backyard offers the peace and relaxation you’ve been looking forward to whether dining on a meal al fresco on the deck, gathering around the firepit under the stars, or taking a quiet afternoon nap in the hammock.
You’ll be within just a short drive or twenty-minute walk to the heart of downtown when you’re ready to get out and explore the wide variety of landmarks, shopping, dining, attractions, and festivals, all offering unique experiences to get to know this eclectic city and the locals within it. If you happen to be visiting during the months of November thru January, you won’t want to miss the Nights of Lights, a dazzling and award-winning holiday lights display that you can experience by foot, train, or trolley, or even a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride. Those sparkling white beaches Florida is well known for are a quick four-mile drive away, making day trips a literal breeze.
Inside the home, the magical interior’s unique charm seamlessly blends comfortable, contemporary furnishings with charming coastal-chic style, offering spaces designed as much for connectivity as they are for rejuvenation. Sink into plush living room sofa seating while you queue up that new movie you’ve been saving on the smart TV. An even cozier seating area is nearby, perfect for sipping your morning coffee while turning the pages of a good book. The well-stocked kitchen includes all the comforts of home to help you whip up an afternoon snack or full, family-style meal, showcasing stainless steel appliances and ample counter space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. The reverse osmosis water system will save you time and money as you opt for reusable water bottles to help keep you hydrated on the go. Dine together or host a family game night at the dining table, with enough seating for the whole crew.

This home comfortably sleeps 7 guests between 3 private bedrooms and a full-size sleeper sofa in the living room.

Bedroom #1 contains a queen size bed and full ensuite bathroom.

Bedroom #2 contains a full-size bed. Bedroom #3 contains a twin-size bed The home also includes an additional full guest bathroom.

Great location .

The house was nice and clean in a neighborhood of older homes. The location was very convenient to old downtown St Augustine. We had to cut our visit short due to the cornonviris situation but really enjoyed our stay.

It was very nice inside! Loved how it was decorated. The 3 of us were able to have our own bedrooms and enough room in the living room to sit around and visit.

A “home” away from “home”

It couldn’t have been nicer. Quaint, homey and so very welcoming. The Mermaid Cottage is exactly as described and more! Just can’t say enough good things. My sister and I we’re so pleased with our stay we are planning on going back.

Quaint little home

Mermaid cottage was a perfect spot for my family while staying in St Augustine; We would definitely choose to stay here again while in town. The home was very clean, comfortable and everything but beach towels were provided. It is just a short 8 min drive to the downtown area from the cottage.

Acceptable stay for family

There were a lot of positive things about this place. We loved the room and the location was close to everything. The only negatives were the chairs at the dining room table. They are cheap and one was broken when we arrived.

Fun Getaway!

loved the cottage, It has more charm than what the pictures on line showed. The kitchen was very well equipped and the baths had plenty of towels. We spent the evenings in the backyard which is huge. It would be nice if there were tv's in the bedrooms and there was a dishwasher. Nobody was thrilled with the microfiber sheets. Overall, the place was great and we would stay there again!

Very Cozy Cottage!

This home was very lovely. Owners were rapid to respond when rental third party company did not provide entry access code. Checked back with us to make sure we got in ok. This cottage is filled with very nice decorations. There's area in the home were there wasn't anything interesting to look at. Welcome hand written note on front table, complimentary gourmet coffee and other essentials. There were local attraction brochures and coupons. House was very clean and in order. If and when we go bract to St Augustine will seriously consider staying here again.

Lovely home!

Mermaid cottage was the perfect home for our Thanksgiving trip—the owners had even put up a Christmas tree and adorable Christmas decorations!! So fun! With two adults and four kids, everyone had their own comfortable space and lots of room to spread out. The home is exactly as pictured in the description, and there are so many little welcoming and beautiful details that make it such a cozy place to stay. House is fully stocked with everything you need and is a great central location. My only complaint is that it has a very strong musty smell, but we were so happy with the cottage that it is easily overlooked. Plus it is an older home in Florida, hard to avoid. The area is an older area of town, but was very quiet and the neighbors are super friendly!! We will definitely be coming back!

Peaceful

We enjoyed our stay except the kitchen area could use florescent lighting and the small bedroom could use some sort of fan it was very hot and me being the younger of the bunch took that room...we didn't like the shower heads! We loved your most beautiful bowls and plates, the skillets were great and the corning ware. Oh another thing the trees made a mess of our cars and there was no access to a hose to wash the stuff off...sorry but I am only telling you what I would like to hear so as to make things better for the next visitors! The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful and that was definitely a plus! Thank you David

Girls Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is a transitional neighborhood so we felt a little nervous at first. The grass had not been cut when we were there but I am sure they have had rainy weather that prevented them from cutting it before we arrived. We will definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area.

Perfect for us!

The Mermaid cottage is a delightfully decorated home, exactly as described on line. Spacious, comfortable, tasteful and just beautiful! We appreciated initial paper product supplies, shampoos and soaps and the bonus was a more-than-adequate spice cabinet! And the coffee bar was so grand! We were not able to enjoy the gathering area outside due to the season’s intense heat but the patio served nicely for morning coffee. Easily 5+ stars and would love to stay again!

Stellar St. Augustine Spot!

I truly enjoyed my stay at the Mermaid Cottage. It is in a quiet neighborhood with all of the thoughtful touches that are needed and wanted, away from home. The kitchen is ample, common spaces cozy and bedrooms above and beyond. It is also close to downtown and convenient for sight-seeing. I highly recommend this location for your next St. Augustine stay. I certainly hope I’ll return!!
