About this property

Charming 3BR/2BA Artisan Cottage Walk to Historic St. Augustine + Fire Pit

OUR MOST POPULAR ST. AUGUSTINE GETAWAY

Our colorful 3BR/2BA Downtown St. Augustine Guest House is a guest favorite—and for good reason. It combines an incredible walk-to-everything location with a quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, a private tropical backyard, and one-of-a-kind artistic décor.

You’ll be close to the best of historic St. Augustine, yet tucked away from the crowds when you’re ready to relax.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!

Leave the car behind and explore the nation’s oldest city on foot. Francis Field—home to many of St. Augustine’s most popular festivals—is just a two-minute walk away.

Stroll to St. George Street, the Bayfront, Castillo de San Marcos, Ripley’s Believe It or Not, the Old Town Trolley, and some of our favorite restaurants, bars, galleries, shops, and historic attractions. When you’re ready for sand and surf, Vilano Beach is just a short drive away.

YOUR OWN PRIVATE BACKYARD RETREAT

After a day exploring the Old City, come home to your own peaceful escape. The enclosed front, side, and backyards are surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, including lemon and orange trees.

Fire up the gas grill, play your favorite music through the Bluetooth BOSE speaker, enjoy a drink on the stone patio, or gather around the fire pit and share stories beneath the St. Augustine sky.

A HOME WITH PERSONALITY

This is anything but a cookie-cutter vacation rental. Every room is filled with color, character, and creativity, including hand-painted Sticks furniture, Shoestring Creations headboards, Mackenzie-Childs décor, and artwork from local artists.

You may also notice our slight obsession with mermaids, seahorses, and sea turtles. See how many you can find during your stay!

We’ve spent years fine-tuning this home and thinking about the little details that make a vacation easier, more comfortable, and more memorable. We love hosting and want you to feel less like you’re staying in a rental and more like you’ve found your own special home in St. Augustine.

NEED MORE SPACE?

Traveling with extended family or friends? We offer two additional vacation rentals located together approximately five blocks away.

Choose the charming Sanchez Suites Guest House or the ArtHouse—an amazing 3BR/2BA industrial warehouse transformed into a joyful, art-filled vacation home showcasing local creativity.

Reserve one, two, or all three homes—perfect for groups who want to vacation together while still enjoying their own space and privacy.

Our most popular property fills quickly, especially during festivals and special events. Reserve your dates and discover why guests love calling this their St. Augustine home away from home.

We booked last minute and this house could not have been better. It's in an ideal location. The downtown area is very close but you still get the peace of a quiet neighborhood. The house was beautiful, clean and stocked with everything you'd need. The bathroom had spare items in case you forgot anything - the hosts really thought of everything. They also were very responsive and attentive during our stay. Everything was easy to locate and we could not have been happier. Would highly recommend this property!

Perfect experience. Every time I book a rental, I expect some discrepancy between the professional photos on the listing and the walk-in gander, but there was none. Everything was spotless; beautifully decorated; and inviting. If our family comes back to St. Augustine anytime soon, we hope to book this same place!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy and David

Host profile image
Wendy and I are lifelong entrepreneurs and the owners of TeamBonding, a corporate events company built around bringing people together through fun, creative, and challenging experiences.

Most of the year, we live in Sharon, Massachusetts, outside Boston, overlooking beautiful Lake Massapoag. In early 2021, we spent January through March at our Downtown St. Augustine Guest House and fell in love with the home, the neighborhood, and the city. We enjoyed it so much that we purchased another property just a few blocks away, giving us even more reasons to return.

In 2022 and early 2023, we took on our dream renovation project, transforming an industrial warehouse into the ArtHouse, a colorful and imaginative vacation rental filled with local art, handcrafted details, and plenty of personality.

We love creating memorable experiences, whether we’re bringing teams together through TeamBonding or welcoming guests to one of our St. Augustine homes. We hope you’ll love this city and this special house as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We first discovered St. Augustine almost by accident. During a business trip to Amelia Island, we made the one-hour-and-fifteen-minute drive to visit the city during Nights of Lights. The streets were beautifully decorated, and St. Augustine was celebrating its 450th anniversary, making our first visit especially memorable.

Before that trip, we had never even heard of St. Augustine. We immediately fell in love with its history, charm, and welcoming spirit and soon began searching for a home of our own. When we couldn’t find the right one, we rented the Original St. Augustine Guest House on Hypolita Street, where we continued enjoying the city until early 2020.

Not long afterward, we found and purchased our Loring Street home. We fell deeply in love with the house, its peaceful neighborhood, and its incredible location. It remains very special to us, and we’re confident you’ll love it too.

What makes this property unique

This home has a charm and personality all its own. Tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street just off San Marco Avenue, it feels peaceful and private while keeping you close to everything that makes St. Augustine special.

Francis Field is only a two-minute walk away and hosts many of the city’s most popular festivals and events. The historic City Gate, St. George Street, Castillo de San Marcos, and the Bayfront are also within walking distance.

Stroll to restaurants, bars, galleries, museums, shops, and attractions without worrying about driving or parking. The Old Town Trolley is nearby when you want to explore more of the city, and Vilano Beach is just a short drive away.

What makes this location so appealing is the balance. Spend the day enjoying the history and energy of downtown St. Augustine, then return to a quiet neighborhood where you can relax.

Inside, the home features a bright, open layout filled with colorful artwork, distinctive furnishings, and comfortable space for your group. Three inviting bedrooms and two full bathrooms make it a wonderful choice for families, couples, and friends.

The private backyard is one of the home’s most loved features. Surrounded by tropical landscaping, it offers several places to unwind. Grill dinner on the BBQ, enjoy coffee or drinks on the stone patio, play music through the Bluetooth BOSE speaker, or gather around the fire pit after a day of exploring.

Whether you’re visiting for the history, festivals, restaurants, beaches, or simply a relaxing getaway, this home gives you a memorable place to experience the best of St. Augustine.
