About this property

Heart of Old St. Augustine — Charm, Comfort, Hot Tub Oasis

Stay in the heart of historic St. Augustine at this charming 2-bedroom cottage located in the Abbott Tract Historic District, one of the city’s most beloved historic neighborhoods. Park your car and walk to everything—Castillo de San Marcos, St. George Street, the Colonial Quarter, restaurants, shops, museums, nightlife, and the waterfront are all just minutes away.

This beautifully updated cottage blends historic charm with modern comfort, featuring an open floor plan, stylish furnishings, a fully equipped kitchen, comfortable bedrooms, smart TVs, off-street parking, and access to a spacious shared outdoor yard and patio area.

Whether you are here for a romantic getaway, family trip, beach weekend, or historic St. Augustine adventure, this clean, comfortable, and well-maintained cottage places you right in the middle of it all.

The Space

The private bungalow features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room with a 50-inch Smart TV.

The home has been thoughtfully updated with waterproof faux-wood vinyl flooring, shutter-style window blinds, porcelain and tile bathrooms, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, and Smart TVs in the living room and bedrooms.

The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and utensils, making meal preparation easy during your stay. We also provide coffee, tea, and basic kitchen and bath essentials to help you settle in without an immediate grocery run.

Each of the 2 bedrooms features a cloud-like memory foam mattress dressed with crisp white linens, fluffy pillows, comforter, and duvet. The bathroom includes a full-size tub and shower combination, perfect for refreshing after a day exploring the Ancient City.

Outside, enjoy the expansive fenced yard with plenty of comfortable seating, lounge chairs, rocking chairs, umbrella tables, and shaded areas for relaxing. A brand-new dual-fuel BBQ grill is also available for guest use.

The cottage is part of a small five-home vacation rental community. The cottages share parking and outdoor common areas, but each home is private with its own entrance and porch overlooking Osceola Street. This setup is also ideal for larger family gatherings or groups who may wish to reserve multiple cottages.

It was very nice, defiantly would stay there again back yard with pool and hot tub was very nice cute indoor cottage will all the amenities. Only complaint is the gravel walkway to the unit needed to be graded off better to be smooth. The porches at the street were a little in disrepair. But really you use the back entrance with the pool. Otherwise close to old town and really enjoyed our stay

Location was excellent!! Easy walk to downtown St. Augustine for eating, shopping and touring! Neighborhood is so cute and walkable. Hosts were generous to allow our coonhound dog to accompany us on our trip! Pool and hot tub area were great, along with being fenced in for our pup to run around. Cottage was the perfect size for our family of 3 plus pup. Beds were comfortable! Only suggestion would be to update the couch to a more traditional one as the current one is more futon-like and not as comfortable for lounging during down-time.

Thank you, Kimberly, for your wonderful feedback! We're thrilled you enjoyed the location and your stay with your pup. We appreciate your suggestion about the couch and will certainly consider it. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Picturesque pet- friendly property within walking distance to the St. Augustine historic district. This was our second visit, and the owners are so kind. It was raining when we arrived, and the property owners walked out a spare umbrella out to my car. Will stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Whitman Vacations

Host profile image
My wife Traci and I love hosting because it gives us the opportunity to share one of our favorite places with guests from all over. We take pride in creating clean, comfortable, well-cared-for homes where guests can relax, reconnect, and enjoy everything St. Augustine has to offer.

We enjoy historic neighborhoods, great restaurants, beach days, walking through the city, and finding those small local spots that make a trip memorable. As hosts, we try to be available when needed while also giving guests the privacy and space to enjoy their stay.

Our goal is simple: provide a welcoming home base that feels easy, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared from the moment you arrive.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood because it captures everything we love about historic St. Augustine. It is charming, walkable, and full of character, with beautiful historic homes, quiet streets, and the feeling of being tucked into the heart of the city.

The location is hard to beat. Guests can walk to Castillo de San Marcos, St. George Street, the Colonial Quarter, restaurants, shops, museums, trolley stops, and the waterfront without needing to rely on a car. At the same time, the cottage feels peaceful and residential, which makes it a wonderful place to return to after a day of exploring.

We love that guests can experience the energy of downtown St. Augustine while still enjoying the comfort of a quaint historic neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

What makes this property special is the combination of historic charm, modern comfort, and an unbeatable walkable location. The cottage has the character guests hope for in St. Augustine, but with updated finishes, comfortable furnishings, Smart TVs, a fully equipped kitchen, off-street parking, and thoughtful touches throughout.

The outdoor space also makes the property stand out. Guests can relax in the fenced yard, enjoy the porch, gather around the outdoor seating areas, or cook on the BBQ grill after a day downtown or at the beach.

The cottage is part of a small five-home vacation rental community, which gives it a unique feel. Each cottage is private, but the shared outdoor spaces make it a great option for families, friends, or larger groups who may want to reserve multiple homes while still having their own separate space.
