Welcome to Salty C Cottage at the end of C Street, where awaits the cozy, casual Salty C. While you are here, this is your home. Experience the therapy of waking up and looking at the waves as they reflect the morning sun. Feel the cool ocean breeze and the hot sun. Dive into the sea, walk on the beach, or just sit on the porch. Relax and watch TV while looking at the ocean through the expansive glass windows. In the evenings, enjoy Salty C's library, games or just stargaze and dream.
We have preserved the casual cozy feeling of our Historic beach house while still giving you the convenience your deserve. There are modern HD flat screen TV's in every living room along with Blu-ray and DVD players for your convenience. Downstairs living room TV is ready for your gamer to simply hook in and go.

Walk to dinner! There are at least 4 restaurants within one block. Shops are also within walking distance. For those who need some pampering, there is a spa within a couple of blocks. The Surf Shop is a few blocks away and they rents surfboards and gives lessons, or if you like, stop in and take a Segway tour on the beach. All just a stroll away.The oldest and most romantic town of St Augustine is 10 minutes drive away. There is also a shuttle that takes you back and forth. Be prepared to feel like you have stepped back in time to a town somewhere in Spain. You can even take a carriage ride!
We want Salty C Cottage to become your beach home that you return to as a yearly tradition. A place where you have many great memories of carefree times with family and friends. To ensure that, we have one very important rule: When you step onto our driveway, please leave your troubles behind - relax and enjoy.

Wonderful location and close to so much
AMAZING time at Salty C. We will be back
We are so glad you had such a great time at Salty C. We look forward to seeing you and your family back again soon. Always welcome.
Spacious!
We loved the house, very spacious and clean! Everyone had their own room and having the extra kitchen and living space was a plus. The only thing that we would say was a negative is that you have to access each floor by going outside. Nevertheless, we had an amazing time and loved the house. Being able to walk to the beach was amazing!
We are so glad you had a wonderful time at Salty C. We also love that the beach is right there and easy to get to. We hope that there were many happy memories made during your stay.
We do have it clearly listed that there aren't any internal stairs in our description of the property but we will try and make this clearer for furture guests. The positive is that these stairs are covered incase of inclement weather.
We hope to see you and your family at Salty C again soon.
Great location.
We enjoyed our visit to St. Augustine Beach. The location was within walking distance to some restaurants. We loved Mango-Mangos. We ate there 3 times. Fantastic Coconut Shrimp! House was clean and very spacious for our large family.
Thank you so much for staying at Salty C.
We LOVE Mango-Mango as well and totally agree on how delicious the Coconut Shrimp is. We visit there more than we probable should.
We would like to also thank you and your family for treating our home like it was your own and going the extra mile to leave our home as you found it. (Having some of the towel washed and folded was a huge help the cleaning staff as well).
We hope to see you visit St Augustine again soon and hopfully you will keep Salty C in mind when you do.
Thanks Steve & Nikki
Large families won't be disappointed!🤗
My family came from multiple states to celebrate my sons wedding and we celebrated all week with family...in all there was 18 adults and 5 children. All were comfortable! Loads of fun brought own yard games and beach equipment ang grill. (Can rent these locally as well very reasonable prices). Has cable tv's but we really never had time for tv!
WOW! So glad you and your families all had a wonderful stay at Salty C. Sounds like you all had a blast and we hope all went smoothly with your son's wedding.
We hope to see you again soon.
Nearly perfect beach house!
Me and my family stayed at Salty C for a family vacation and we absolutely loved it! We are seriously considering returning in two years for our next family vacation, even though we've previously done each one in a different place. St. Augustine has so much to do and the beach is gorgeous - we feel like we barely scratched the surface!! Our only complaints would be: there was no grill, despite the Home Away page saying there is one, and the rule that grilling is not allowed. I understand the safety risk but everyone wants to grill at the beach. Additionally, some ceiling fans in the bedrooms would be nice since you aren't allowed to turn the thermostat below 72. They do provide multiple box fans but ceiling fans would be preferred. Even with those two minor issues, we would return again! Thank you for letting us stay!
Thank you so much for visiting Salty C in May and we would love to see you visit with us again in 2 years time. Thanks too for mentioning the minor issues that you had. In the past we did have had grills for our guests to use but found that they simply were not taken care of or cleaned so we removed them. We do mention in our description however that there is a company locally that will rent a BBQ on a weekly bases to our home. Bigbillsbeachstuff.com. I have made corrections to reflect this so other guests wont get confused. Thank you. On the fans, our home has low ceiling in the down stairs area of the house which prevents us from putting fans in them. However, this week we have replaced all the box fans with new oscilating pedestal fans for every room and we're sure that this will help circulate the air a little better. Thanks again for your great feedback, see you soon again at the Salty C!
My family and I had a wonderful time.
This was our first time to St. Augustine, and because I have a large family, we rented this beach property.
We loved being able to walk to the ocean front; it was beautiful. The house is very nice and has very good accommodations. We would certainly return again if we ever return to St. Augustine. As my son-in-law said to me, "This is the best vacation ever that we have taken as a family." That says it all.
We are so very happy to hear that you and your family has a wonderful time in St Augustine and at Salty C Cottage.
We hope to see you and your family back at Salty C should you visit the area again.
