About this property

The ArtHouse: Where Industrial Charm Meets Creative Inspiration

Welcome to our one-of-a-kind accommodation option in Downtown St. Augustine! If you're looking for a unique and memorable stay, you've come to the right place. Our property has undergone a Peace, Love & Happiness-inspired renovation, and the results are truly extraordinary. We poured our love into every piece of this build.

As soon as you step inside, you'll be captivated by the artistry that went into creating this space. Local artisans poured their talent into crafting the handmade kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and out of state crafters handmade the beds and headboards. The centerpiece of the kitchen is an exquisite red cedar epoxy island countertop, a true work of art in itself, created by a local St. Augustine crew.

One of the most eye-catching features is the wall adorned with the renowned "Spread Love" graffiti and a stunning St. Augustine mural greeting you outside, which sets the tone for the entire space. This graffiti art not only adds a unique character to the property but also serves as a constant reminder of the positive vibes and love that permeates your stay here.

The outside space is appropriately named The Bamboo Garden. In the corner you'll find tall bamboo, with colorful bottle caps lining the ground underneath. A picnic table, games, and cafe lights lend to a peaceful break from touring the city.

But that's not all – we have an exclusive offer for our guests. You can now opt for a short-term membership at the nearby Serenata Beach Club in Ponte Vedra. This upscale oasis is a true gem, featuring three pools, a fitness center, an adults-only hot tub, and more, all designed for your relaxation and enjoyment. With guest memberships for a minimum of 7 days, you can combine the best of city and sand. Please note that these guest memberships do require an additional fee, and the club kindly requests a 2-week advance notice to arrange this experience for you.
****Current Beach Club rates - $500+tax for 1 week membership for up to 6 guests. There is a $200 up charge for the week before and after the following holidays (Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day). All membership arrangements are made solely between the guest and the beach club. We only offer their services to guests staying with us.

Our property is more than just a place to stay; it's an experience, a celebration of art, love, and positivity. We invite you to immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere we've created, and to explore the vibrant city of St. Augustine, knowing that you can always return to your peaceful and eclectic sanctuary. Peace, Love and happiness await you here, and we can't wait to share it with you.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE:
Need more space? In the front of the property we have a separate Vacation Rental. Separate parking and entrances, and no shared space. We welcome your friends or family to book our Artsy, 2 bed/2 bath Cottage that sleeps 4-6 guests! Guests will find 2 King en suites, with a twin over full Renovation Hardware bed in the second suite. A delightful screened in porch separates the two suites. In front, is a porch with 2 rocking chairs. Life is Good!

Peace, Love, & Hospitality
Wendy & David’s ArtHouse is hands down the best rental property we have ever stayed in (and we’ve stayed in many)! The space is a work of art, and conveys the vibe of St. Aug in all its meticulous detail. Privacy, cleanliness, comfortability, amenities, necessities were all above and beyond. The outdoor shower!!! I showered indoor only once during our 5 night stay, the indoor showers are gorgeous, but I loved looking up at the trees and hearing the birds while using the shower outdoors. Our daughter is a fine arts major at Flagler College, and brought her roommates by to see the place, they were in awe of the place. Needless to say we loved our stay, and will absolutely stay at The ArtHouse again. I fully intended to add a “love lock” to the entrance fence, and some artwork to the sign in book, but I ran out of time, (We were moving my daughter to a new house for next semester). Next time! Thank you Wendy & David :) Trent & Amanda

Such an amazing place!
The Art House is definitely our new go-to place to stay in St Augustine! It’s like a huge artists loft has been picked up out of a city and dropped into the middle of St Augustine. While it is artsy, it is done tastefully and feels comfortable and welcoming. We would have loved to pick the whole place up and take it with us to be our new home. It is just far enough outside of everything to be quiet, but close enough to walk everywhere. The place was immaculate, it smelled clean and didn’t stink of chemical air fresheners (which I’m allergic to) and the hosts are very responsive. We look forward to returning. Oh, if you hear a knocking on the window in the king bedroom, it’s a tufted titmouse. He came to visit every morning. Next time I think we will bring some black safflower seeds to treat him. 😊

Perfect in every way!
Our stay was priceless. The property was amazing and so fun. Our teenage boy, 9 year old daughter and my husband and I loved the decor. Every day you saw something new. The provided shampoo & conditioner was salon quality and the home was so well stocked. The location was great and walkable to old downtown, shops and restaurants. All around this is the best vacation rental I’ve had in years. The host was responsive and checked to ensure we had everything we needed!

Extraordinary experience
The Art House in St. Augustine was great!!! This has got to be the #1 VRBO in the city for any family or group that is coming to do the tourist thing. 1. In the house there was unique local art at every turn. Literally. The wall, the shower, the bed, the fridge… fun, fun, fun 2. It’s close to everything… we drove into town but if you want to save on parking you could easily walk. 3. Everything was as advertised. The hosts made you feel like a VIP without having ever run into them. All was clean and the supplies were extra. Great place all around. Zero regrets on picking the Art House. It was Extraordinary!

Coolest Rental Ever
This place was by far the cutest and coolest rental I have ever stayed at. Rented it for my friend's bachelorette weekend & everyone was obsessed. Plenty of space for a group of 5 and plenty of picture opportunities. On top of that, Wendy & David made sure we enjoyed our stay & the communication/check-in process was a breeze. I would stay here again & recommend it to anyone staying in St. Augustine!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and David

Host profile image
Wendy and David are entrepreneurs. By day they run a successful corporate team, building company, and by night and weekends, they run their passion project which is hosting guests in St. Augustine at three different vacation rentals. The ArtHouse is really special and creating it challenged all of Wendy's design skills and decorating with color. What would you do with an empty warehouse? It wasn't a question for us as we wanted to turn it into a funky, industrial, hippie-chic, vacation rental. You'll see a photo where we started with a cement floor and everything from there is architecturally designed, colorfully decorated, and furnished with fun and love. What's really fun for us is if you see any of the three guest houses, you'll see our favorite furniture, favorite designers, local artwork, and custom cabinets. What makes it really special is that people feel at home in these unique spaces and we really get a kick out of making people happy.

Why they chose this property

In front of The ArtHouse is Sanchez Suites our two-bedroom, two-bathroom dogtrot cottage, which we've been staying in on and off for the past year or so. It is a short-term rental when we're not there and guests love it. It is a relatively new house in the old city, and when we bought it, it came with the warehouse. We knew then, that was the special part of the property. We are three houses up from San Marco, across the street from the Fountain of Youth, and in walking distance to restaurants, shops, and historic downtown. What's not to love?

What makes this property unique

Everything! It is the most unique vacation rental in the city of Saint Augustine and the surrounding areas.
