About this property

💲DIRECT OCEANFRONT Romantic Cottage💲 Best Beach - Walk to Restaurants - Downtown only 5 Miles

DIRECT OCEANFRONT COTTAGE - Explore this Romantic Oceanfront Cottage located just 5 miles from Historic Downtown St Augustine on the "Best Section" of beach. Loads of restaurants & activities within Walking Distance. No long catwalks. No Cars allowed on the Beach. Just waves & powder white sand steps from your door. Totally renovated in 2012 with Top-of-the-Line finishes. Choose from 4 Cottages ranging 1 to 5 Bedrooms for any size group. Cottage 4 is our most intimate sleeping 2 to 5. It looks like it came right out of Pottery Barn. Crisp White Linens. Bead board walls. Cool Marble Floors. I feel sure after one night, you will agree "It doesn't get any better than this".

Check out the WALK THRU Videos under the Floor Plan Tab. It is the best way to get a feel of the house. Just use your mouse to walk thru. I think you will love it. And here is a new Birdseye Video so you can see how all the Cottages fit together and how close they are to the sea and the Resaturants: CLICK HERE




2 PATIOS - First thing you will notice is the Outdoor Space and the murmur of the Surf. Sunbathe on the grassy Oceanfront lawn. Enjoy Happy Hour under the Trellis Oceanside Patio. Or Grill on the Private Fenced Courtyard in front. The Grill is both Gas (provide) or Charcoal so you have your choice and comes with a large Outdoor Dining Table.



Marble GREAT ROOM - The huge 8' Picture Windows is designed to bring the outside indoors. Cool Marble floors throughout. Soft Blues. White Bead board. You never forget you are at the Beach! For your entertainment, we added a Big Screen TV with Comcast and Streaming Video so you can share You Tube Videos or Netflix (if you have an account).



INDOOR & OUTDOOR DINING - There are both indoor and outdoor options. Inside is a unique "Cafeteria" table with swivel seats. Great for meals or games. My family loves games and Rummikub is our favorite. We play from 5 to 95 and find it one of the few games where you actually have to think. I hope it becomes a tradition in your family and that you will remember your stay at Seaside Cottages each time you play it.



GOURMET KITCHEN - White Shaker Kitchen & Stainless Appliances plus a new "Leather" finish Granite Countertops. I hope you love it as much as I do. The Kitchen is fully equipped with Pottery Barn dishes, glasses and all the pot, pans and utensils you'll need to create a gourmet meal. I hope you'll enjoy cooking so much you save enough money to stay another night!



OCEANFRONT MASTER - The Master Bedroom is accessed thru lovely Glass Spa Doors. With giant 8' window it has spectacular morning sunrises and 42" TV. There is a King Bed and private bath with Shower, Oval Mirrored Medicine cabinet and Waterfall Faucet.



EXTRA SLEEPING - If you need more room, the Leather Sofa in the Greatroom folds out into a comfortable Queen with a half bath next door. Plus the Daybed is a full Twin Mattress so we comfortably sleep 5.



OUTDOOR SHOWER There is a private Outdoor Shower with hot and cold water. Beach Chairs, Towels and Boogie Boards as well.



PARKING for 2 Cars

LAUNDRY Located behind Cottage 1 and Shared with Cottage 1

NEED MORE SPACE? - Check out 3 more Oceanfront homes on this same Oceanfront lot ranging from 1 to 5 Bedrooms located at 2 9th Street. If you book all 4 Cottages it can sleep 35. Plus I have another large Oceanfront 7 Bedroom 6.5 Bath home just 9 streets south at 2 1st Lane that can sleep up to 21. And Downtown I have 7 Options. You can see them all on my website LindasBeach.com or see the single listings below. They are clustered together to accommodate large gatherings or wedding guests. Often the Husband's side can take one group of homes and wife's the other. Everyone is close but not too close. Just send my website to all your friends and guest and they can be sure they have booked near each other and the action. Makes choosing your Vacation Rental easy.

Perfect beach bungalow!

We had the most amazing stay here! The house was perfect for my partner and I. The beach access was just steps away from our door, and the house had everything we needed for a beach day (chairs, beach towels, etc). We watched the sunrise from bed every morning - it was absolutely gorgeous! We cannot wait to come back!!!!

Cute little cottage right on the beach

Found this place rather last minute and we’re SO pleased! Clean, as described, steps from the beach and walkable to a few points of interest and plenty places to eat. Easy to take the trolley or drive over to St Augustine proper, as well. We had a great time, hope to book again for our next trip to the area!

Magical time

The cottage was comfortable, with a well-equipped kitchen, in a quiet location. We could just walk out the door and onto the beach for mikes if walking every day. Groceries and places for food are so close and easy. A gem.

The best location!

Cute little beach cottage was perfect for my husband and I getting away for Christmas weekend. Location was phenomenal being just steps to the sand. Nice little veranda looking at the dune was nice place to sit out to get out of the wind. Kitchen was small but had everything you need. Was very nice to have the grill outside and a private seating area in front as well. Property is older but well maintained, clean, and the baths and kitchen were updated. Also close to plenty of restaurants and shops all within walking distance. Great communication for check in. Would recommend staying at Linda’s properties!

Anniversary Vacation

The house is a cute little place, perfect for a couple, not sure it would be comfortable with more than that. We got to watch the bunnies playing, we saw a tortoise in the dunes, very old and large turtle. Tons of little lizards running around as well as the bird life. We even had a racer snake come up to see what we were doing. He ran off quickly though. Our only thing was that we wished we could have seen the actual beach and not just the dunes unless we walked down the walkway (which is right next to the house).

We were pleasantly surprised by the tropical paradise feel the cottage had with the natural landscaping and abundance of birds of paradise flowers. An absolute dream. The cottage stayed cool, the bed was 5 star resort level comfortable, and the outdoor table and chairs gave us everything we needed. The street was silent, and we star gazed easily. The giant window facing the sand dunes from the bed makes for a perfect sunrise wake up. The walk from the front door to feet in the water was maybe 3 min. There was an extra natural nature element to this area that just made it so secluded and less commercial. Eveyrhing we needed in the kitchen and bathrooms. Thankful for plenty of beach towels. We will be making this a seasonal stop!

About the host

Hosted by Linda Bayles

Host profile image
My name is Linda Bayles. I have been a Realtor in the Jacksonville/St Augustine area ranking in the Top 1% of Agents since 1998. In 2005 I walked into a 1926 beach cottage direct oceanfront on St Augustine Beach and knew I had found my calling. I wanted to 'Create' a vacation space for Families. Large extended families. A place were Cousins, Grandmothers, Uncles and Aunts can comfortably come together to reconnect and enjoy each other away from the demands of the outside world. I come from a large family of 5 children as does my husband, Brad. Some of my fondest memories are when we all got together to just 'hang out' for 3 or 4 days. The little ones always come up with a 'play'. The adults always congregate in the Kitchen passing down the 'Family Recipes' to the next generation and playing Games. We are a big Game playing family. Specifically Rummikub. We start them at 5 and My Mother is still going at 95. If you have never played, you must. I make sure there is one in each house. Once you are hooked and have one of your own, I hope you will think of your St Augustine stay every time you play.

So I bought that 1926 Craftsman, gutted it and turned it into The Chautauqua which sleeps 21. It has been a rewarding success. In 2011, my Father expanded the tradition and bought 4 homes on one Oceanfront compound on 9th Street. We could not believe our luck and spent the next year remodeling them into The Seaside Cottages. We started renting them in June of 2012. The Best part is not only the homes but the BEACH. There are only 18 streets on the “Best Beach” - No cars. No Catwalk. The ocean right at your door. Everything within walking distance.

In 2016 I moved to Downtown St Augustine and added 4 more Downtown Homes walking distance of St George Street, the Center of Historic Downtown and all the Restaurants, Sights and Music. It is absolutely charming at night. You will feel you are strolling an old European City. A must see.

I hope you will stay with us and create memories you will cherish for a lifetime. Feel free to call me any time day or night at 904.465.3852.

PS: I am also a Realtor. I work primarily as a Single Agent. There are not many of us out there. Most Realtors work as neutral Transaction Agents. You can google 'Buyers Agent' to get an overview of the difference. I think it is big. Just ask yourself the question, Would I want the other sides Attorney to represent me too? That's it in a nut shell but the amazing thing is, unlike Attorneys, it does not cost you anything to have your OWN Realtor representing just YOUR interest. We are all paid by the Seller. So .... I would love to help if you are thinking about buying or selling in the area. Just call and I will send photos of what's available. Once here I would love to give you a tour of the area and take you "shopping". We can see about 4 per hour and you have me as long as it takes.
