Great place to stay!
My husband & I try to take a trip every year for our anniversary. This was our first time to St Augustine & my favorite trip so far! The cottage was peaceful, clean, comfortable & full of charm. We enjoyed having coffee on the screened porch each morning. The location is excellent! No shortage of restaurants or activities within walking distance. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go! Many thanks to the host for sharing this property.

Wonderful Cottage
We were meeting friends in St.Augustine over Christmas. Found your wonderful cottage that worked out great. We parked our car and walked everywhere. It was quaint, cozy and private. Perfect for our stay. Great screened in porch. Our friends came over and we played games. Even though it was raining we were able to stay on the porch. Thank You Jim for sharing your wonderful cottage with us. Would definitely rent again.

About the host

Hosted by Jim Milloway

Host profile image
James is a realtor and a real estate investor. Together with his brother Richard they have developed this property in a vacation rental. Richard oversaw the design, furnishings and landscaping of the property. Richard lives in close proximity to the rental units and is usually on hand if there is an emergency.

James and Richard were raised on La Gorce Island in Miami Beach. Richard lives local and James in a Realtor in Palm Beach, FL.

Why they chose this property

My brother Richard was already living in St. Augustine and had fallen in love with the charm of the city and the people. We were looking for a property that we felt had a certain appeal about it along with parking spaces for our guests. When we came across this location we knew this was the one. Thru much continued hard work we transformed what was just a duplex that was very outdated to an updated Vacation rental while still trying to keep the old world ambiance about the place keeping the original floors (in the main living area) and high ceilings with ceiling fans.

What makes this property unique

We chose this property because the cottages sat behind the main house and in addition to that it offered parking in the rear. The first thing you will notice when you walk in are the 11 ft. high ceilings making the place seem very open. Prior to walking into the unit you enter thru a screened in Porch. With all the lush landscaping there is just a certain serenity that can't be described but must be EXPERIENCED.
