Charming Cottage-Wonderful Location

The cottage was beautifully furnished and very comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood. The location was so convenient - less than a mile from everything we wanted to see and do. We will definitely try to stay there the next time!

St Augustine vaca

This property was perfect for us! Staying in the historic district and then driving to beaches, etc is a great strategy for St. A. (Parking in town is nonexistent) This property has a private parking place, absolutely perfect. We’ll be back!!

What a cute home!

The property was clean and very well maintained with as many of the original features as possible (I believe it was built in the late 1920’s). It was very well appointed with everything we needed.The location was perfect, with a lake in front that provided a perfect walk for our dog. Easy access to shopping, restaurants and beaches made it very easy to do everything we wanted to do. 10/10 would stay here again.

We did not have pets but was still charged.Parking was difficult, spaces were too small for a truck. We had to find other parking. This was a very special occasion in St Augustine, a wedding for our daughter.I did not see the step off into the washroom/closet and fell. I feel this is very dangerous, because there was no warning to step down.I informed the manager the next day and have received no apologies. I went to urgent care and have seen the orthopedic doctor.I missed out on all the special celebrations because of the injuries to my ankle and wrist. This has made me feel so sad.Needless to say, I won’t recommend Casita 1860.

Response from VrboOwner on 31 Mar, 2026
We are sorry you experienced an issue at the cottage. This is the first time we have heard anything about this. However, the step is clearly visible, and we have never had any issues. Doors separate the two areas, and the floor colors differ. As for parking, we park a large SUV (Surburban) in the designated spot and have plenty of room. Your comment about a pet charge is very confusing. You did not inform us that you had a pet, and there were no pet charges to you. We hope your daughter had a wonderful day!

Old time charm

Property was amazing. Very well renovated. Close to town but not too close. My only suggestion was that you could put an overhead fan in the master bedroom to help with air flow.

We have stayed at 4 different places in IOP including 2 different condos in the same complex. This has been our absolute favorite! It has been kept up very well. Everything feels clean and updated and the decor is so cute! We felt right at home here. I always book our trips and my husband can't stop praising this place. We love it so much that we feel like we have found our place to come back to yearly! The hosts are lovely and clearly take pride in giving their guests a wonderful experience.

Nice cottage

The space of the house was set up nicely to accommodate a living room, dining room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and laundry room which all felt spacious. We felt comfortable for our stay, and were pleased by how well the kitchen was set up. Would definitely recommend, and would stay again. The only downside is the tight awkward parking spot, which is near the cottage, and a challenge for parking a pickup truck.
