Soft winter light filters through the palms as you arrive, and the rhythm of the historic district sets an easy pace for your stay. Even in the cooler months, St. Augustine feels relaxed and inviting, with mild days for exploring on foot and quieter evenings to unwind at home. From the porch to the garden, this is a place where time slows and the city’s oldest stories surround you.
The Setting
Sunny Side Cottage is a preserved 1888 home tucked into St. Augustine’s historic district, just a short walk from downtown streets, Flagler College, and local landmarks. Original details like hardwood floors and a decorative fireplace reflect the home’s long history, while thoughtful updates make it comfortable for today’s travelers. The location allows you to step out and explore, then return to a calm retreat away from the bustle.
Living Spaces
Inside, the layout feels open and welcoming, with room to gather or spread out. The main living area features a comfortable sectional and TV, ideal for relaxed evenings after a day of sightseeing. A reading nook with built-in shelves offers a quiet corner to slow down, and a dedicated workspace with WiFi supports remote work or longer stays. Throughout the home, ceiling fans and air conditioning help maintain comfort year-round.
Kitchen and Dining
The kitchen is spacious and designed for shared meals, with full-size appliances and generous counter space. Whether you’re preparing breakfast before heading out or enjoying dinner together at the dining table, the space supports easy, unhurried routines. A dishwasher simplifies cleanup, making it just as suitable for short visits as extended stays.
Sleeping Arrangements
The home accommodates up to six guests across three bedrooms. Each bedroom is arranged for rest and privacy, with ample storage and fresh bed linens. Two bathrooms serve the home, with at least one featuring a bathtub for a relaxing soak after a full day of walking the city.
Outdoor Living
Winter evenings are especially pleasant outdoors here. The covered front porch, furnished with rocking chairs, invites you to sit back and watch the neighborhood go by. Out back, the private garden provides a quiet, enclosed space to enjoy cool morning air or unwind at dusk.
Practical Comforts
Self check-in via keypad allows for a smooth arrival, and off-street parking for two vehicles is available on the property. A washer and dryer add convenience, particularly for longer stays. The home has a private entrance, giving you a sense of independence throughout your visit.
