We had an amazing time during Thanksgiving week. Being able to walk in a few minutes to the historic district made our staying just perfect.

A historical home with a lot of character. The kitchen was well equipped. The beds comfortable. The only negative was the overgrown landscaping.
Lovely traditional home with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the porches and easy walk to downtown!

This cottage was very comfortable and had lovely antique furniture and lamps. And sitting in the private backyard was nice and quiet. The location was a little farther from the Old Town than I thought. There were a few minor maintenance issues that needed attention, but overall a very nice cottage.
Great older style house with all amenities you need. Close to shopping district, and much larger inside than it looks. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for making our weekend so great.
We had a wonderful stay at Sunny Side Cottage; it was perfect for four adults and a child. I was initially worried about parking, but we had plenty of room with two mid-sized SUVs. The location is easily accessible, and walking to the historic portion of town was easy.

The house was a older home and inside was clean and had all we needed. The outside had a huge oak tree so the leaves were abundant, nothing a good blower couldn’t handle. We had our own parking space in the back alley which was great access to front and back of home was clear, and well lit. Was in walking distance to downtown st. Augustine.
We had a great time we donated 3 stemless
Wine
Glasses since they only had 1, but ample martini and flute glass. Kitchen well equipped.
We enjoyed the space and location of property. The house was clean with lots of amenities. Of concern, the yard was not maintained adequately and the air vents were dirty with a brown film that looked like mold. Also, the back door was difficult to close due to the large lock box. Just a few days of maintenance would transform this property making it comparable to the cost. Truly, Leslie

Reviewer Comments:
The house was centrally located at .3 miles from historic downtown. We were able to walk everywhere. Even though listed as pet-friendly, there was no sign of pets ever being in the house. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked. The only downside was arriving after dark and trying to locate the address with a flashlight. It would be nice for the outside lights to have been left on.

Thank you and thanks for letting us know. We'll make a point to leave the lights on.
We absolutely loved our time in Saint Augustine and this pleasant cottage. Our favorite spot was the rockers on the screened in back porch. We sat there at some point every day. This house has great gathering areas, a spacious front room and a big table in the kitchen. It’s an old house so there are necessarily some quirks but the overall charm definitely wins out. Another plus was the proximity to the downtown area. We were able to walk to 80% of our activities. The cleanliness left a little to be desired, but not a dealbreaker. It was surface clean and we took care of the rest. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and highly recommend you do.
We decided to see Nights of Lights the week before Christmas and booked this in July. We have never stayed at a VRBO before, but this was a great experience. St Augustine is fun to walk,so we had a safe neighborhood to walk to and from and leave our car parked. Lovely neighborhood, quiet and the old cottage was just the right size.The back porch and yard,which is fenced,is private with plants and trees. Will go back for sure, even in beach weather because its shady at the house too! There were 3 of us and we did not bring groceries or cook, but if you decide to do that,everything is there! We brought coffee,creamer and sugar for the mornings. Very comfy rooms/beds. Water good and pressure great! Just make sure you like to walk,bring good comfortable footwear! Its was a great 4 day Christmas Season getaway!
The house was as expected. It was clean and well stocked! The yard/garden is pretty over grown compared to the picture. We were given a code but not told we would have to enter through the back door. This is not a problem but would be nice if put in the check in instructions. There was alley parking but I have a large SUV and it was difficult to even get a compact car next to it just so you know! It was overall a very nice property!

Reviewer Comments:
We really enjoyed the property. My only complaint was the amount of 'glade plugins' that were placed throughout the house. I'm allergic, so we had to unplug them all for our stay. The central air worked fabulously, and we were very comfortable. The master tub is one that has been painted and is starting to show its wear. Even though the house is near a main road it was really quiet.
