About this house rental


Escape to the beach for the best vacation ever. 3 bdrm 2 bath private beach-side home is reminiscent of the rich history of the St Augustine and East Coast beach homes. It has been deeply remodeled for comfort and the most modern conveniences to help create a special vacation experience. And it is all on one level (one bedroom has four steps).
The Mermaid Cottage is located in a quiet, highly regarded and admired beach neighborhood with a laid-back atmosphere that allows you and your family to spend lots of time enjoying this nature filled beach location. Established in an eclectic mix of old Florida cottages and contemporary homes, it is just one block from one of the several deeded beach access walk-on boardwalks leading to one of the best beaches on the East Coast. It is on a full lot that runs from one street to another providing additional privacy, free parking and access. We are pet friendly and children love this cottage. (Remind them to count the mermaids and enter their count in the guest book.) There is a one time pet fee. Just include pets when telling us how many family members or friends.
There are several desk areas in this home to work or learn remotely. The WiFi is super fast fiber optic and extremely reliable and secure.
Relax listening to the ocean on the covered porch overlooking the completely fenced front yard or enjoy the backyard deck for grilling, entertaining, relaxing and sunning. In addition, there is an upper deck that is perfect for sunning, entertaining and enjoying the ocean breezes and views. You are an easy 3-minute stroll to the beach and less than a mile from the intra-coastal waterway and Windswept Beach Park with children’s playground and fitness track. You are 7 miles from historic downtown St. Augustine on A1A, 2 miles from the AMP and Marineland is just 10 miles south on A1A.
The open Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen floor plan allows The Mermaid Cottage to live big and easily all on one floor. The Living Room has a 46” HD satellite TV, two sofas (one is a queen size bed sofa). There is also a fully stocked desk area complete with printer. (Located by the slider door so you can listen to the ocean while you work.) All bedrooms have extremely comfortable beds. The MB has a king size bed and a 40” HD TV. The second bedroom has two twin beds with a kit to easily convert them to a king size bed. The third bedroom (which is actually a 2nd Master Bdrm) has a king bed, sitting area with love seat, HD TV and another desk area (perfect for conference calls or quieter work or school). The two master bedrooms are located on different ends of the house making it a great house for two couples or older children. All bedrooms have blackout drapes to help ensure a great nights sleep. Our home is fully equipped, very comfortable and very well decorated with lots of original art. A large, newly remodeled and fully equipped kitchen allows you to easily prepare meals at home when you choose.
We’ve provided lots of little extras to make your vacation memorable and the most fun.
We are very “hands on” with our property and make The Mermaid Cottage our home during the winter. The Pearl Cottage next door is often available to rent at the same time for larger family/friend gatherings at the beach. It provides another opportunity to vacation with friends and family and still have privacy. The two backyards can open to one another when rented together. The pearl listing number on VRBO is #726115. Please read our reviews. We work hard to maintain our homes and make sure that our guests have an enjoyable experience.
You will love the Mermaid Cottage and the beach and the neighborhood, feeling right at home immediately (we hear this over and over from our guests). Whether you are here to Work, Stay or Play, we want you to relax and enjoy our home and your St. Augustine vacation experience, create memories and return year after year.

We had a wonderful time while visiting St. Augustine Beach. The Mermaid Cottage was very cozy and clean, the neighborhood was quiet, and the weather was perfect. We had no issues and would highly recommend to others looking for a place to stay.

Although this seems like an odd lead in, they had all the light switches labeled. If you have ever been to an unlabeled house, you know the fun of trying to which switch is which. Kudos and thank you, to the hosts, for that. Mermaid Cottage challenges you to find the mermaids in the cottage. Plan to stay a week, to accomplish this, lol. The host(s) were wonderful and accomodating. And the listing tells you most everything you need to know about this home. Short walk to the beach, but note, the boardwalk to get there has stairs up and down. Only you know if that will be challenging for anyone in your party. You are close to St. Augustine city, nearby local eateries(too many to list). Head to the south and you will find unique places. You can swm with dolphins, at Marineland and enjoy the company of alligators at

The house was well stocked and the layout was perfect for our family. Plenty of towels and extra pillows/blankets. The beach was a very short walk away. We walked to the beach in the morning and at night with our 4 and 5 year old. The beach is not crowded at all. There was a tide pool that the kids loved. My in-laws and our nephew came on our second day there and they loved it as well. We are talking renting both houses next year. It's honestly our favorite place we have stayed in as a family!

The cottage was wonderful! Loved the garage for storing the beach equipment and the rooftop area was a plus! Short walk to the beach made it more delightful! Home was clean and a/c worked great! Host always responded within minutes! Will stay again!

I rented this house for my parents, my sister, and my brother and his two teens. I rented The Pearl next door for myself, my husband, my teens and their two friends. Everything was perfect! In fact, we never even needed to contact the owner for anything. This house fit everyone comfortably, and is in the perfect location - a quiet neighborhood with easy, quick access to the beach. I love that it’s not right in the hustle and bustle off of A1A near the pier (we’ve stayed in that area before and found the beach too crowded). This neighborhood is near a quieter part of the beach, but close enough to the busy part to make it easy to drive over their for the farmer’s market, Beachcomber, etc. The house itself is casual and comfortable. We spent a lot of time on the porch and looking at the plants in the gorgeous back yard. We appreciated the parking in the back and the front of the house. We kept the fence gate between the Mermaid and The Pearl open and just bopped back and forth between houses as necessary. If you have a bigger group, renting both houses was perfect- we could be together but also had our respective spaces if needed. All in all a fantastic vacation.
