About this property

Sunny Side Cottage walkable to downtown w/ garden

Rocking chairs wait on the covered front porch of this 1888 historic home, shaded by palms and set in one of St. Augustine's most walkable neighborhoods. Step outside and centuries of character unfold around you - galleries, independent restaurants, and landmarks that make this city unlike anywhere else in Florida. Out back, a private garden offers a quiet retreat to start the morning slowly or wind down after a day spent exploring.

Living space
Original hardwood floors, a fireplace, and a crystal chandelier greet you the moment you walk through the door - details that speak to the home's age in the best possible way. Sink into the leather sectional for an evening with TV with Hulu, or settle into the reading nook with built-in bookshelves for something quieter. A dedicated workspace and Wifi keep you connected whenever the day calls for it.

Kitchen & dining
The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and eating with ease - refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and coffee maker, along with dishes and silverware for meals in. Pull up to the dining table for a leisurely breakfast before heading out or a relaxed dinner after a long day in the city.

Sleeping arrangements
Three bedrooms sleep up to six guests, each outfitted with bed linens, hangers, and storage space for settling in properly. Two bathrooms serve the home - one complete with a bathtub - and bathroom essentials are stocked and ready on arrival.

Outdoor living
The private backyard garden is a calm, shaded escape at any hour. The covered front porch extends your living space outdoors, giving you a spot to sit, slow down, and take in the neighborhood.

Comfort & convenience
Air conditioning, ceiling fans, and heating keep the home comfortable across every season. A washer and dryer make longer stays easy to manage, and self check-in via keypad means a flexible, stress-free arrival. The home has a private entrance and free parking on premises for up to two vehicles.

Location
Tucked into St. Augustine's historic district, you're within easy walking distance of Flagler College, local dining, independent shops, and the city's most storied landmarks. The Old City is practically at your doorstep - everything this remarkable destination has to offer is just a short stroll away.

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.

Lovely House

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 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.

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.

St Augustine visit

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

Close to Historic Downtown

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.

A Charmer

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.

Great Trip

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!

Great cottage in a great location

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!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. 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.
