About this property

La Casa Caliente - Spa | Romantic Tiny Retreat Near Beaches & Old Town

Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of St. Augustine — a romantic and nature-infused escape that’s just minutes from both the historic downtown charm and the sandy shores of Florida’s most beloved beaches.

This uniquely designed tiny house getaway is full of warmth, charm, and thoughtful touches that make it feel like a dreamy boutique cottage tucked in the trees. Whether you're planning a romantic weekend, a girls’ trip, or a small family vacation, this peaceful property offers the perfect balance of intimacy, relaxation, and functionality, all in one unforgettable space.

✨ Outdoor Living at Its Best
Step outside to discover a truly expansive outdoor living space, where you’ll spend most of your time soaking up the Florida sunshine and cool evening breezes.

Massive 24' x 20' screened-in deck with high ceilings, exposed beams, and plenty of room to stretch out.

A bubbling hot tub right on the deck awaits you — the perfect way to unwind after a day exploring the town or relaxing at the beach.

The outdoor living room features a plush sectional, an electric fireplace, smart TV, and Bluetooth soundbar for cozy movie nights or your favorite playlists under the stars.

Outdoor dining area ideal for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or candlelit dinners.

A nearby fire pit under the open sky is great for roasting s’mores and sharing stories around the flames.

🛏️ Comfortable Sleeping for Up to 5
Inside the tiny home, you'll find smart use of space and cozy sleeping arrangements that cater to couples and small groups alike.

Two queen-sized loft beds, each with soft bedding and accessible by ladder.

A cozy reclining couch in the main area adds an extra sleeping option or a great spot for lounging.

While the home is compact, the open-concept design and outdoor areas create a spacious and inviting atmosphere.

🍳 Full Kitchen + Outdoor Shower
No need to sacrifice convenience here. The tiny house includes a well-stocked full kitchen, perfect for those who love to cook or prefer to eat in.

Fridge, stove, microwave, coffee maker, and all essential cookware and utensils provided.

Enjoy a romantic dinner or a casual breakfast without ever leaving the property.

After a day at the beach, rinse off in the private outdoor shower, surrounded by trees for a spa-like feel.

🐶 Pet-Friendly and Nature-Forward
We know pets are family. We welcome one well-behaved dog (with a one-time cleaning fee), and your pup will love the open space and fresh air as much as you will.

The tiny house is nestled among lush greenery, offering privacy and the feeling of being far away from the world — while you're actually just a few minutes from all the action.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy
This really is a cute space, and it’s got real potential! Be careful walking to the bathroom, as the floor is rotting/broken (?) and uneven underneath the runner rug. The beds and sofa inside are super comfy. The sectional outside is large, but with thin cushions it wasn’t great for lounging. We loved that Greg chopped some firewood for us to enjoy morning coffee by the fire, but the hot tub wasn’t warm so we missed out on a good soak! Great large lot to roam or play or have pets on. It felt safe and semi-secluded. Communication was either immediate or super slow, and I did ask multiple questions. None of my questions about early check-in or late departure were answered at all. Overall, 7/10!
