Convenient Cozy Cottage

Easy walking distance to St. George Street, and many restaurants. Easy to load and unload car. Screened in porch for al fresco dining. Comfy bed and quiet bedroom. Tight bathroom, in that the toilet seat faces, and is close to, the pocket door.

Great Get-Away Cottage - A+ all around.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by our host, Kony the cat. Which was an added delight as Kony also checked on us the following day. The Cottage was Cute, Clean, Cozy, Comfortable, Convenient and Close to town. Walking distance to everything we wanted to do and see. Jim (the real host) responded quickly to emails to help plan our perfect get-away Birthday weekend. Can’t say enough good things about our stay. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Location!

The location could not be better. Once we checked in, we parked and didnt move the car. Easy walk to almost everywhere. The house is old, but comfy. Remember, that in an older house, you may feel a chill now and then and the wooden floors are cold in the morning. This is not a criticism, just an FYI if you've not lived in an older house before. The screened front porch was a nice outside space. Beautiful, historic town with so much to see and do, all within a short walk. Shopaholics (like me) will be in heaven; full buffet of boutique, art and antique shops. Will definitely plan to visit again. Could not see all in one trip.

Anniversary trip

The property is even better than it looks online. This unit is so comfortable and cozy and it was very clean with everything you could want or need. Decor and design is superb. The location cannot be beat as you truly do not need to drive to historic locations. The only time we drove was to go to Collage Restaurant because it was threatening rain. Jim was super to work with and we really appreciate his quick response to any questions we had. We enjoyed the peaceful screened in front porch in the evening along with the lovely lights in the garden. Thank you, Jim, for your hospitality and in making our 60th wedding anniversary stay perfect. We highly recommend Casa Tranquila if you are looking for a relaxing stay in St. Augustine. The Prydes

Location of property ideal. Unit more of a duplex than a cottage but very quiet, well equipped and comfortable. Though we hit a cold spell, we were nice and cozy inside. Parking in back is a bit tricky. Overall, an excellent stay and would go back again.cozy

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 into a vacation rental. Richard oversaw the design, furnishings and landscaping of the property. \

James and Richard were raised by their parents on La Gorce Island in Miami Beach. Our great late father was a real estate developer. Richard lived locally and James lives in West Palm Beach, FL.

Why they chose this property

My late great brother Richard was already living in St. Augustine at the time 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 as well as parking spaces for our guests. When we came across this location we knew this was the one. Thru much continued hard work we have transformed what was just a duplex which was very outdated to an updated Vacation rental while still trying to keep the old world ambiance about the place by 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.
