About this property

Fall in love with St. Augustine! 3br2ba cottage - walk to downtown. Pet friendly

Spend fall and winter in St. Aug & experience the incredible Nights of Lights (within walking distance)! The Urban Cottage dates back 100+ years and was lovingly updated with modern conveniences while still maintaining its original charm. Walking distance to downtown St. Augustine and St. George Street and a short drive to the beach, the cottage is in the heart of the Ancient City and can be your home away from home while exploring.

The living area is bright and sunny with a smart TV and ample, cozy seating. Each bedroom has room darkening shades or curtains and brand new mattresses and beds. Bedroom 1 is large and has a comfortable queen size bed. There is also plenty of room to assemble the portable crib (located in the bedroom closet). Bedroom 2 has a comfortable queen size bed and a dedicated work space with desk and chair. These two bedrooms share one bathroom that has a shower / bear claw tub. Bedroom 3 is across the hall and has twin size beds. The room currently used as a dining space can be easily transformed into a 4th bedroom with a deluxe queen air mattress (and doors for privacy) - with the 2nd bathroom with a shower steps away.

The kitchen is updated and fully-stocked with a keurig coffee maker, drip coffee maker, hot tea kettle, toaster, crockpot, blender, Brita water pitcher, and more. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a room currently used as a dining space with seating for 6. The 2nd bathroom and shower are just off the kitchen. There is a full-size washer and dryer located off the kitchen.

You can enjoy your morning coffee on the large wraparound porch. The cottage also has a fully fenced in back yard for your pre-approved pets (up to 2). There is plenty of off-street parking: two cars can fit in the side driveway inside the gate and one car can fit in just in front of the gate.

Note: The cottage sits adjacent to a fairly busy street which means there will be urban hustle and traffic noice during certain times of the day. We provide a sound machine in the front bedroom and disposable earplugs. However, if you are a light sleeper or noise adverse, this cottage might not be for you.

Comfortable and convenient

It's about a 15-20 minute walk to downtown from this recently renovated house in a transitional neighborhood. It was clean and roomy and comfortable, and the host allowed free early check-in and responded quickly to a couple of random questions.

Great space, very communicative host

Yvonne was a great host! She was super accommodating and communicative with us throughout the entire process. Her house was beautiful and super clean and cute. Me and my six friends fit very comfortably in this house. The location is right next to a gas station if that makes you uncomfortable but it was roughly a 10 minute drive to the beach/pier and a mile walk to the downtown area. We really enjoyed our stay!

Adorable house with the most helpful hostess ever!

We stayed for a family wedding and the place was so adorable and just the right size for 5! Yvonne was so helpful answering questions and helping us with everything we needed. The only challenge was the location which is behind a gas station on a busier street. It was a bit loud, light sleepers could have trouble. Yvonne was a great hostess and accommodated all our changes and needs with ease! Would not hesitate to stay at a house of hers again!

Clean and spacious cottage

The cottage was perfect for our mini vacation in St. Augustine. There was 5 adults in our group and we had plenty of room. It would definitely sleep the 8 it is advertised. We appreciated the off street parking behind a gated fence. It is close to many area attractions. The house was well supplied with everything we needed to be fully functional. We wanted for nothing. The only thing i believe one needs to consider strongly is that you are close to the hwy and you will definitely hear busy street noise. This did not deter us from enjoying our stay.

Great gettaway - be prepared to drive or walk

The house is roomy, exceptionally clean, and just oh so nice. It is an old home but the kitchen and baths are new. Everything is nice and clean from the bedding to the silverware and there are lots of cute little touches. There is a train across the road which my children appreciated so much. It is a little bit of a walk to downtown but is totally doable. I think it took us about 15 minutes. I appreciate the water filter, the good knives, the coffee makers ( 2 types ), and the washing machine detergent. We would definitely go there again.

Was not a good location. Scary people in yard, drinking and smoking and wanting money.

We are 3 older people 83, 78, 76. Property was clean, had to call lady twice to get in, once in all the people in back yard starting hollering for money. We were scared and left. Called the lady and ask for refund, she did not want to talk to me. We had to stay in a motel for 7 days and she still will not talk to me about a refund. Very dis appointed. I would not recommend her or her place. We did not stay went to a motel for 7 days, went home early.

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne

Host profile image
My name is Yvonne and I am a new host. I grew up as an Air Force "brat," and joined the Air Force myself right after high school (& I am very proud to be the 4th generation in my family to have served). After 4 years of active duty, I went on to college and eventually law school, and I now work for a legal software company - which gives me flexibility to work virtually. I am a proud mom of three teenagers - and they helped me set up our second home in St. Augustine, which we use as a vacation rental. We live in Orlando full time, and we love coming up to St. Augustine whenever we can to enjoy downtown and the beaches.

Why they chose this property

I fell in love with St. Augustine in the fall of 2018, shortly after I moved to Florida from Colorado. I was chaperoning my son's 5th grade field trip and felt like I was in Europe and was in awe of the charm and history of St. Augustine. The beach is also close to downtown and very uncrowded. I made it my personal goal to have a home in this amazing city - and a few years later I found the quaint, historical cottage. My kids and I love spending time in the city - and I think you will, too!

What makes this property unique

The Urban Cottage is located just off US 1 (Ponce de Leon Boulevard) in a historic district of the West King Neighborhood. There is plenty of off-street parking: two cars can fit in the side driveway inside the gate and one card can fit in just in front of the gate. It's a short walk to downtown St. Augustine where you can enjoy all the city has to offer, or you can stroll 2-3 blocks north east and grab a craft brew at Bog Brewery, pizza at Old Time Pizza, or brunch at Buena Onda Cafe.

Headed to the beach? We're less than 15 minutes away. Take US 1 South, head over the 312 bridge towards the beaches and onto A1A to the St. Aug Pier, or continue a short drive down A1A and park at the numerous "public parking" spots (look for the green signs). Further down A1A at A-Street, you can drive on the beach (a 4x4 vehicle is strongly recommended).
