Great spot for our extended family weekend trip

From grandparents down to the youngest member of our family (13) this was a great spot! Plenty of room for everyone (we rented the sister property next door too - the Historic Lady), plenty of (beautiful) bathrooms, plenty of gathering spaces, nice kitchen, great location. We did the very short walk to downtown many times. Lots of space and privacy for all of our different family members between the two houses. We were busy going to family wedding events so didn't really have time to use the outdoor spaces or go to the beach or anything like that. The host was very responsive and helpful! These houses are in a very pretty and safe neighborhood. I think we all know that real estate photos often distort the dimensions, the only real surprise was the Romantic Getaway cottage is much smaller inside than the photos suggest, but that did not impact our stay at all.

Quiet but close to town

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a short weekend trip and loved it! We were in easy walking distance of everything we wanted to see, but were able to relax in bed and watch TV with dinner there as well. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe. The appliances are all nice and the bed and bathroom were very clean. My only minor complaint was the fan in the living room did not work because the remote was either broke or the battery was dead. The move in/move out instructions were easy and didn’t require huge overhaul cleaning. We would stay here again and would recommend it for no more than one adult couple.

About the host

Hosted by Linda Bayles

My name is Linda Bayles. I have been a Realtor in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area ranking in the Top 1% of Agents since 1998. In 2005 I walked into a 1926 beach cottage direct oceanfront on St Augustine Beach and knew I had found my calling. I wanted to 'Create' a vacation space for Families. Large extended families. A place were Cousins, Grandmothers, Uncles and Aunts can comfortably come together to reconnect and enjoy each other away from the demands of the outside world. I come from a large family of 5 children as does my husband, Brad. Some of my fondest memories are when we all got together to just 'hang out' for 3 or 4 days. The little ones always come up with a 'play'. The adults always congregate in the Kitchen passing down the 'Family Recipes' to the next generation and playing Games. We are a big Game playing family. Specifically Rummikub. We start them at 5 and My Mother is still going at 95. If you have never played, you must. I make sure there is one in each house. Once you are hooked and have one of your own, I hope you will think of your St Augustine stay every time you play.

So I bought that 1926 Craftsman, gutted it and turned it into The Chautauqua which sleeps 21. It has been a rewarding success. In 2011, my Father expanded the tradition and bought 4 homes on one Oceanfront compound on 9th Street. We could not believe our luck and spent the next year remodeling them into The Seaside Cottages. We started renting them in June of 2012. The Best part is not only the homes but the BEACH. There are only 18 streets on the “Best Beach” - No cars. No Catwalk. The ocean right at your door. Great Restaurants within walking distance. Amazing.

And then I discovered the charm of Downtown St Augustine. At night it is like strolling in an old European City. So in 2016 I decide to moved Downtown and renovated 4 more Downtown Vacation Rentals. Ranging from 1 to 4 Bedrooms all walking distance of St George Street, the Center of Historic Downtown and all the Restaurants, Sights and Music and only 2 blocks from each other. Great for Downtown Weddings with the Bride taking one house and the Groom the other.

My Goal is to provide the best vacation spot possible. I hope you will stay with us and create memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Feel free to call me any time day or night at 904.465.3852.

Always at your service,

Linda Bayles

PS: I am also a Realtor. I work primarily as a Single Agent. There are not many of us out there. Most Realtors work as neutral Transaction Agents. You can google 'Buyers Agent' to get an overview of the difference. I think it is big. Just ask yourself the question, Would I want the other sides Attorney to represent me too? That's it in a nut shell but the amazing thing is, unlike Attorneys, it does not cost you anything to have your OWN Realtor representing just YOUR interest. We are all paid by the Seller. So .... I would love to help if you are thinking about buying or selling in the area. Just call and I will send photos of what's available. Once here I would love to give you a tour of the area and take you "shopping". We can see about 4 per hour and you have me as long as it takes.
