This property made my dad's 82nd birthday celebration extremely special for our family. Not only was the home and its decor spacious and stunning (exceeding the lovely pictures online), the hosts and property manager were incredibly accommodating. The location could not have been better, as it is right between the beach and historic downtown St. Augustine. It was one of our favorite stays ever. :)

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, spacious, and had so many amenities and extra supplies that made our trip easy and comfortable. The beds were very cozy, and the location was perfect—close to downtown but still quiet and relaxing. The hosts were professional and kind, even when my daughter accidentally broke a lamp. Everything was handled smoothly and with understanding. We would absolutely love to come back and stay again if they’ll have us!

Wow! This home was beautiful and comfy! Best sleeping beds our adult family has ever slept on. We all joked that we were getting new mattresses when we got home. Quiet neighborhood. Great host, with quick and easy communication. The house was stocked with several convenient items. Such a great location to downtown. I highly recommend this place!

Wonderful home. Better in person than the pictures and that is saying a lot. We did not really interact with the property manager. Did not need to. Charming outdoor area. Great location. Minutes from the Bridge of Lions! We hope to be back. Highly recommend!

40th Birthday

Our son's 40th birthday celebration was held in St. Augustine, and we needed a "home away from home" for the weekend. The Cottage Over the Bridge was perfect. When you walk in, there is a beauty and comfort that I have not seen in other rentals. The owners paid such attention to detail, in the layout, decor and amenities. It was a pleasure to stay in this lovely home.

Great Stay

I have stayed in many vacation rentals and this was by far the best house I have ever rented. It was very well remodeled and the decor was amazing. This house had everything we needed and then some. It truly felt like a home away from home. Next time I’m in St. Augustine I definitely hope to be able to rent this house again.

Lovely Cottage!

Beautiful home! Wonderful “beach vibe”! New decor throughout. Big living/dining/kitchen area. Plenty of room for our family of eight. Home was stocked with everything you need. Relaxing patio areas in front and back. Quiet neighborhood, but close and convenient to everything. Paul and Jenni were wonderful hosts. Highly recommended!

Delightful

1 week holiday stay Christmas thru New Years!Nicely remodeled home in great location . Easy to access historic downtown plus the beaches. House well equipped and nicely remodeled. large living area. Large dining table. Spacious kitchen. Bedrooms close together but very comfortable.Linens and towels were very nice. Little extras from owner really was above and beyond. I would definitely recommend booking. Historic St Augustine is busy during the holidays… so traffic is tough, but if you are not opposed to walking off your meals, restaurants and downtown are definitely doable by foot…especially when the weather is so nice .

Great place and convenient location

I came with friends from high school whom I had not seen for some time. The house was recently remodeled and a great spot. Everything was comfortable and it’s very convenient to downtown St Augustine… just be mindful of the traffic backing up to cross the bridge. Beaches were just as convenient. If couples are coming, just know the walls are very thin in the bedrooms! You can hear everything in the other rooms - talking, coughing, etc. Otherwise we had a great stay and the hosts were very communicative.

What a pleasant surprise!

This rental was very nice. The reno they did was very professional and nicely done. Comfortable, lovely decor, very clean. Comfy beds, plenty of towels, easy checkin. We did have to put tape on the floor to remind us of the step down into the living room. Would rent again. PS…it took us 3 days to find the garage! Ha!! (Inside joke)

A Dream Vacation Home - Unforgettable Stay!

We recently stayed at this VRBO property for our vacation, and it exceeded all of our expectations! From the moment we booked, the communication with the host was exceptional. They were responsive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making our stay as comfortable as possible. The home was spacious, impeccably clean, and tastefully decorated with modern amenities. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it a breeze to prepare meals for our family. We especially enjoyed the outdoor living space, complete with a patio, barbecue, and fire pit – perfect for evening gatherings. One of the highlights of our stay was the close proximity to local attractions, shopping, and dining options. The host provided a comprehensive guidebook that helped us explore the area and discover hidden gems. We were able to enjoy a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure throughout our vacation. The attention to detail at this property was truly impressive. From the high-quality linens and towels to an unexpected backyard companion, it was clear that the host wanted to make our experience memorable. In summary, our stay at this VRBO property was nothing short of amazing. It felt like a home away from home, and we cannot wait to return. We wholeheartedly recommend this property to anyone looking for an unforgettable vacation experience.
