I rented this place to celebrate my mom’s birthday. The property is so nice and a great size. Love the beach vibes it gives and it’s super clean. The pool was amazing, lots of space in the pool area. The neighborhood is quiet and clean. Also, it’s so close to downtown; literally a 5-7 min drive, which is perfect to Uber since the parking isn’t that great downtown. I loved it here and would absolutely book again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Great location and amenities

This was the perfect house for a long weekend. We were able to bike to the local amphitheater for a show and had a plenty of food options near by. Additionally, we brought our boat and used it for a day to see some local sites from the water. Finally, the house was well furnished with comfortable beds and a well-maintained pool. We'd definitely go back!

Kitchen dishwasher in need of repair

The location was fantastic. Parking was much better than expected. The biggest concern is the dishwasher and kitchen in need of repair. There was a lot of rust in the dishwasher.

Great home. Fantastic location.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The home was beautiful and comfortable and just the right size. The kids loved the pool and being across the street from the Conch House restaurant was a nice surprise. It felt private yet close to everything. No one wanted to leave! Can't wait to rent this house again.

Excellent Location

Our family had off shore fishing trips planned all weekend, being walking distance to the marina was exactly what we wanted. The pool offered a relaxing afternoon/evening after being out fishing all day. The Home was clean and had beyond our expectations of kitchen cookware available. We will definately book this Home again in the Future

Perfect Stay

The top attribute I need to mention about this property is the cleanliness. It was absolutely spotless inside and out. Very evident the owner's use the property themselves and care about it. The location was excellent, the kitchen was well-appointed, and we all loved the pool. Would definitely recommend.

Cute Historic House

The house is located in an area close to dining, the property is well kept Pool is older but fine to take a dip in. Had we stayed a day or two longer we would have had to go buy papergoods, as only one roll of TP per bathroom was provided. There was a white travel van that was parked in front of the property the entire stay and it freaked my kids out a little. Overall a great stay.

Great spot!

We had 4 adults and 2 kids and it was great for us. The house was clean and there was plenty of room for us all. I like that we were near downtown and lots of great restaurants but that the neighborhood is quiet. The master bathroom is kinda small but other than that no complaints.

Wonderful Vacation

Our group had the best of times, the pool was wonderful, beds were comfortable, all the necessities of home. I could hear the tunes from the Conch house while enjoying an evening at the pool (an added bonus). We will see you again next year, if available. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Great location!

We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend! We walked to a nice dinner at Conch House and walked to Juicy for some fantastic healthy breakfast bowls! Spent a day in the ancient city as well as Anastasia Island. The Saturday farmers market at the amphitheater was fun too. The house was very cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. We spent our last day lounging by the pool. Over all, a great experience!

it is adorable and very vintage. walking distance to down town and a short drive to the beach.

Good for families and has enough space to fit 6 people and the pool was a nice place to cool off in the evenings after a day spent at the beach. Walking distance to my favorite Mellow Mushroom so that was nice. Only negatives would be that the ac is weak when it is really hot out and the sprinkler system that kicks on at 4am is loud and smells very bad. Will rent it again in the cooler season since it is a fabulous location.

We Returned!

We stayed at this same property in June of 2017 and returned because of the pool, location, and being pet friendly. The home is very comfortable and the kitchen is equipped with everything you could need. We love being in a quiet neighborhood which is great for bike riding, walking, and dog walks. Having the Conch House restaurant within walking distance is an added bonus when you don't care to drive for a bite to eat. We love this cottage and would not hesitate to return for a 3rd time.

Month to Remember

We stayed in Costa Costera the month of February. The house in clean and cosy. The kitchen was supplied better than many rentals we have been at, although we would have liked a toaster. The backyard pool was our oasis. The home is in a great location as we were able to walk into St Augustine to avail ourselves of all it had to offer and we could ride bikes or drive to the beach. If you are looking for a nice spot to come home to after a day of sightseeing or beaching it, this is the place!
