About this property
Waterfront Retreat, Pool & Rooftop Deck - 2 Bed Cottage, Kitchen, Great Location
You've found your waterfront oasis tucked under the White Birds of Paradise! This spacious retreat was formerly a commercial art gallery. Two queen beds, one full bathroom & full kitchen make for comfortable living! You have a fenced path leading you down to the beautiful waters of Salt Run where a rooftop deck & saltwater in-ground pool invites you to relax and slow down. Less than a mile to downtown St. Augustine, a little over a mile to the Amphitheater and about 3 miles to the beach.
Downstairs you have a combined living space with a queen bed, L-shaped couch, and kitchen with bar seating. The kitchen has a two-burner gas stovetop, full-sized retro fridge/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, coffee pot, toaster & kettle.
Upstairs you have an A-frame hideaway! A comfortable queen bed, 2 office desks for remote working, and a bookshelf stocked with books and games for those (rare) rainy days. A dedicated, separate entrance to the upstairs bedroom makes it convenient for two couples.
You have a fenced path leading you down to the beautiful waters of Salt Run. Make your way up to the rooftop deck for some sunshine and incredible views while catching that awesome ocean breeze.
Time for a swim? In front of the waterside rooftop deck you'll find a large 15'x30' saltwater swimming pool. The pool has a large shallow-depth ledge perfect for relaxing or enjoying a book. The pool is available year-round & heated to 80-82 degrees.
The pool and rooftop deck are shared with one other vacation rental on this large property (more on that below).
Only a few blocks away, you have a full-service marina with lots of fishing charters and boat tour options.
Perfectly situated on a dead-end street just off the main boulevard. You are less than a mile to downtown St. Augustine, just a little over a mile to the Amphitheater, and about 3 miles to St. Augustine Beach. Additional nearby attractions include the Alligator Farm and St. Augustine Lighthouse, both within walking/biking distance or a very short drive.
Ready for the beach? Four nice quality beach chairs are provided with armrests and lay-flat functionality.
Parking is not an issue with two dedicated off-street parking spaces and fast wifi makes it easy to stay connected.
Washer & dryer is available for guests staying 4 nights or longer at no additional cost.
Other Things To Note: This is a large property spanning almost a 1/2 acre. There are three separate buildings on the property. Each building has its own dedicated parking, private entrance and share no common walls. The waterfront rooftop deck & pool is shared between all. There is a photo that gives a satellite view of the property layout.
The heated pool temperature will be 80-82 degrees. The pool heater cannot function when outside temperature drops below 48 degrees. Therefore during cold fronts the water may drop below our set temperature until the heater can kick back on.
Quiet hours are from 10pm to 8am and pool hours are from sunrise to sunset.
The dock that can be seen in the background of some photos is our neighbor's. Dock access is not available for guests.

Best choice we ever made! The Retreat is perfect for a couple (and occasional visitor). The grounds are as incredible as they look. Cabe and Brittany were especially responsive to our cold-snap needs and always responded quickly and goodnaturedly. Perfect stay on a delightful island in a sweet neighborhood.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and found the property a great fit for a couple. We’re always looking for ways to earn that full 5-star experience, so if there’s anything we could have done to make your visit even better, we’d love to hear your feedback through a direct message.
The space was really nice! The kitchen is really cute and the room upstairs is very spacious. The surrounding area was really quiet and relaxing. The hosts were very responsive and gave great detailed guides to all the things we needed.
This was the perfect location for us. It was close to the downtown area but also close to some great local spots. Having the pool access was a highlight to help us unwind in between exploring. When we ran into the host they were friendly and gave some great food recommendations. We loved staying here and will definitely be back!
We had a fantastic trip. The house was conveniently located near the amphitheater, delicious restaurants and the beach. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay!
Hi Jill - Thanks for staying with us! I'm so sorry to hear about your trouble accessing the pool and I really wish you would have reached out for help while you were staying. The pool is never locked but we do use a child-proof pool gate latch which is required by Florida law. If you were having trouble using it, we certainly could have guided you to opening the gate.
Beautiful property situated minutes from Anastasia State Park, the Lighthouse, Amp and Historic District. We loved sitting on the deck and soaking in the pool after a day at the beach.
Great stay! Cabe and Brittany have thought of everything, even bananas. Loved the location,- close to everything. The pool was clean, inviting, user friendly. We will be back of they will have us!
The vibes here are amazing. Super cute retreat in a wonderful location. My daughter loved the beach at Anastasia state park it was so close less than 2 mins and the miniature golf across the street was so fun for my 2 year old. We enjoyed it so much. Thank you Cabe & Brittany!
The property is absolutely perfect! Great location that is close to all the best Saint Augustine has to offer. Check in instructions were sent well before our stay and getting into the property was easy. Interior was well stocked and comfortable. We will definitely stay here again when we're in the area!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cute two floor unit. Small space downstairs, but very nicely appointed and functional. Upstairs open and airy. The saltwater pool was wonderful and the view from the pool or the back deck was very nice. Cabe was an excellent host and great communicator. We stayed for a 4 day weekend and it was great.
Great little place convenient to restaurants and the amphitheatre. A+ host. Very responsive.

About the host
Hosted by Cabe Nolan
My wife Brittany & I met at Flagler College in St. Augustine when we both attended. Since graduating, we've stayed in the Northeast Florida area between Jacksonville & St. Augustine. We love St. Augustine and all it has to offer.
Why they chose this property
When Brittany and I first moved in together after college, our first rental house was located on Salt Run and we always thought it was the best location in all of St. Augustine. Close to downtown, close to the beach, close to the amphitheater and not to mention on the water. When this house fell into our laps (Brittany is a realtor and scored us an off-market deal) we couldn't help but pull the trigger.
This property encompassed everything we love about St. Augustine. It's Old Florida feel with the aged cedar shake siding mixed with newer modern touches. It just felt perfect.
