About this cottage rental

-THE ARTIST COTTAGE

ENTIRE ENCHANTING ARTIST BEACH COTTAGE, 100 FT. TO THE SEA, FENCED & PRIVATE

We fell in love with this enchanting cottage because of its vintage quality and location, 100 ft. to the sea.. It is a sweet old cottage that we have totally renovated. (Hey!!! We’ve added a duckless air system!!! No more window units!!! Nice and cold and quiet!!!)

You walk out the door and within steps you are at the sea.

Old St. Augustine is about 10 minutes away. Great nightlife and lots of fun shopping, dining and historical sightseeing!

This is an old fashioned 1930's beach cottage with lots of privacy and it is totally fenced in. We've hired a talented gardener/ designer who uses Florida native beach flowers and grasses to create a casual shore setting.

Come and relax at our 1930’s totally renovated cottage by the sea. We've decorated it with charming vintage finds. Including chandeliers that light up the patio area at night creating a magical setting for romance and family fun.
We love sitting on the deck at night feeling the breezes off the ocean.
Immerse yourself in the world of Old Florida, the way it used to be. Grab your coffee and watch the miracle of a sunrise as the dolphins play and the pelicans fly overhead. Sometimes you will see a couple of the locals fishing and it's fun to check if they "got lucky" yet. It's so peaceful walking along our quiet beach to the inlet where you can see the old St Augustine lighthouse on the other shore and other historical sites.

Many activities are available at the beach...parasailing, fishing, kayaking, boating. Why not sail on the pirate ship “Black Raven' If you sail on Wednesday it docks at Aunt Kate’s restaurant for a delicious seafood dinner. We also love walking to our local restaurants for lunch or dinner. You can walk to our beautiful pier which you can fish from too.

Feel like visiting the 16th century? A short ride over the bridge and you are in ancient St. Augustine. The oldest settlement and fort in the USA.

Explore the historical sites and enjoy the family owned restaurants. Take a tour. Either a trolley or a romantic horse and carriage ride.

Many art galleries and events. We have brochures at the cottage.

Fall asleep to the sound of the surf and the swaying palm trees in our hammock on the deck. Yes you can see the ocean from our deck.

We are located between the Intercoastal and the sea!

Enjoy!
Carolyn and Jim Covert

We loved our stay at the cottage! The house was perfect, cute and stocked with everything you need. It’s super close to the beach, Publix, and downtown. Carolyn was a wonderful host! She was responsive and made sure we were comfortable our whole stay. We will definitely be staying here on our next trip to St. Augustine!

We absolutely loved staying here! We really enjoyed all the outdoor areas. The fenced in yard was an added bonus traveling with our pup! The house was very clean and the quirky vintage decorations were fun! The reading nook was so nice. We will be back!

Very convenient steps away from pristine beach. The cottage is near Publix and has all you need to cook or barbecue. We enjoy the roof top with some water view and cool breezes. Plenty of room for our dog to enjoy fully fenced. We go back every year.

Just as the description. This cottage is larger than it looks from the outside, with plenty of room for 4. It's decorated in a kitschy, fun way with a plethora of interesting items. Very complete with absolutely everything you might need to have a great time at the beach. The property is very private and has plenty of spaces to enjoy the outdoors including a screened in porch. Very close to the beach with a short walk up the block to the path. The only issue we had was the noise from A1A, which is a small price to pay to be that close to the beach and certainly not under the control of the hosts, just be aware you will hear some traffic. The AC was great and even needed to be turned up a little or it made you too cold.

We have stayed here twice. Great place for a dog who loves the beach as it’s only steps away. Outdoor shower makes it possible for furry friends to get clean. Totally private fenced in patio that surrounds the cottage on 3 sides making it safe to let your dog out. It’s definitely a “beachy” place and comfortable for humans as well!

Overall, a good visit. The kitchen was especially cluttered for my taste. It was hard to locate most things and not much work space because of the counter clutter. Beds were just OK. Loved the location for access to downtown. Lots to do in St. Augustine!!
