Luxury Tiny Home with Private Hot Tub — 3 Miles to Historic St. Augustine

THE SHORT VERSION

Three hundred and sixty square feet, and every one of them yours. A queen bed under a peaked ceiling, a private spa nobody else shares, a fire pit out in the pines, and the oldest city in America three miles down the road.

INSIDE — 200 SQUARE FEET, ONE BEAUTIFUL ROOM

A queen bed made up in fresh linens. A love seat that pulls out to a single. A kitchenette with a butcher-block counter, refrigerator and freezer, microwave, coffee maker, real dishes and wine glasses — the coffee is on us. Counter seating with stools. Smart TV and sound system. Fast Wi-Fi and a proper place to work, if you must. Air conditioning, heat and a ceiling fan. A full bathroom with a step-in shower waits behind a sliding barn door.

OUTSIDE — 160 SQUARE FEET UNDER COVER, AND THE YARD BEYOND

Your own hot tub, held at 90 degrees, private to this home and shared with no one. A covered lanai with outdoor dining, lounge seating and a daybed built for the long middle of an afternoon — all of it usable straight through a Florida shower. An open deck for the sun. A fire pit in the yard with a bundle of firewood waiting beside it. Beach chairs and towels by the door, yours to borrow.

HOW IT FEELS

Coffee on the lanai while the light comes through the pines. The afternoon in the spa. Dinner downtown, and the fire lit when you get back. Small on purpose — the kind of small where everything you need is within arm's reach and nothing else is asking for your attention.

THE LAYOUT

A studio, and a romantic one. The queen and the pull-out love seat share the same open room, which is exactly what makes it feel like a retreat for two rather than a house. Three can sleep here when the three are close. For a couple it is generous.

WHAT IT IS FOR

Anniversaries. Elopement weekends. The first trip away after a long year. A week of quiet work somewhere beautiful. Two people who want the door shut and the spa on.

WHERE IT IS

Three miles from historic downtown St. Augustine, about ten minutes from the beach. From mid-November through January the Nights of Lights run downtown, and this is a very good place to come home to afterward.

ABOUT YOUR HOST

I am Greg. I spent my Navy career on submarines, which is reasonable training for making a small space work hard and feel good doing it. Eight-plus years hosting on this property. I answer my own messages, usually fast, and I would far rather you text me than be stuck.
