About this house rental

Cottage on May – Newly listed!

Enjoy this historic 1935 home which has been recently renovated with brand new amenities.

Location – Location – Location. The Cottage on May is only 1.6 miles from Vilano Beach, a favorite spot for the locals. The Fountain of Youth and Old Jail are only a five-minute walk. Take a romantic stroll down the picturesque Magnolia Avenue, one of the most photographed streets in the USA. Historic downtown, St. George Street and the Castillo de San Marcos fort are a short 20-minute walk, only one mile. Restaurants, Antique Shops and many Boutiques are within walking distance. Don’t feel like walking? There are a couple of bicycles in the shed that you are welcome to use. Also available are beach chairs, beach umbrella and boogie boards.

This home is a three-bedroom split plan, allowing the adults a bit of privacy from other guests. The master bedroom has its own bath with shower. The guest bedrooms share another bath which has a tub. All bedrooms have Smart TV’s with complimentary Comcast programming. The home also has high speed internet with Wi-Fi throughout. Home has Central A/C and all bedrooms have ceiling fans.

The kitchen has been updated with new appliances, cabinetry and quartz countertops. The focal point of our kitchen is the original brick chimney once used for a wood burning stove. Neatly stowed away you will find all the necessary gadgets to accommodate your stay. Adjacent to the kitchen is the Mud Room, complete with large Washer, Dryer, sitting area and farm sink to rinse the sand off after a relaxing day at the beach.

The Living Room is a wonderful place to relax, complete with reading nook, fireplace and television. The gorgeous original wood floors add to the historic charm. Off the Living Room is a cozy Sunroom complete with seating area and writing desk. Looking out the front window, you will see the historic “Pink Castle” home which is a historic St. Augustine landmark.

What we love most about our home is the outdoor areas. The home is completely nestled beneath a canopy of stately oak trees which are draped with Spanish Moss. An outdoor dining area is set up under a beautiful pergola with string lights that set the mood. Enjoy some S’mores at the firepit chiminea. A new Weber gas grill is also available. The yard is plenty large enough for the young ones to play.

No issues with parking at this home. There are three spaces in the front driveway and two more in the rear driveway off San Carlos Avenue.

For your safety, the home has passed the fire department safety inspection. It is complete with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher, egress diagrams and emergency lighting.

We welcome you to the Cottage on May.

The house was charming and very clean. Location in the area was good for getting to the beach and to historic. The owners were very responsive to the one thing we needed adjusting. One suggestion would be a small single-serve coffee maker. Overall, we had a wonderful stay!

This house is such an amazing place to stay!! Myself and 6 other girls stayed here for my bachelorette weekend and this place was PERFECT!! The vibe was great for a girls trip and it had everything we needed! It was very spacious and very close to downtown and the beach!! We had such an amazing time staying here. The owner was very easy to reach and even sent us a sweet personalized gift for me and the girls!! I would very highly recommend this place for families, friends, or anyone!!

We rented this cottage because it was not far from the historic areas and restaurants; however, when we arrived, the environment was so serene that we only went out to dinner once, and to the beach to watch the sunrise. This cottage is spacious, and in a very quiet neighborhood. The literature placed in the resting areas added such a homely touch. It was a treat to just sit on the enclosed porch reading or spend quality preparing dinner together in the kitchen We really enjoyed our stay there! Sabrina

This home and property is amazing. I’ve stayed in various areas of St. Augustine and this was by far my favorite. The hosts have done an outstanding job stocking this home with literally everything you might need - even food for the wildlife. The decor is beautiful, with an especially lovely backyard great for morning coffee and outdoor dining. We had a very small wedding in the yard and it was magical. Very much appreciate all the hosts did to make it special. Will definitely stay here again.

When we stayed here, we were so close to everything we wanted to do, and the location is very walkable. And the house couldn’t be cuter! We had a couple of issues, and the hosts went above and beyond to resolve the situation. Everything you will need is in the cottage. All in all, it was a wonderful vacation!
