3BR | 2 Bath | Outdoor Kitchen & Hot Tub | 2 blocks from the beach

This lovely and quaint Sea Turtle Coastal Cottage located between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intra-coastal waterway is just minutes from beautiful, historical downtown St. Augustine.


Relax in the 5 person Jacuzzi or just enjoy the sun on the paver deck. Make use of the fully equipped outdoor kitchen (gas grill, refrigerator, kitchen sink) and entertainment areas with family and friends. Or just enjoy the great outdoors. Don't want to cook, then look across the street at Caps on the Water, a long standing well liked local restaurant. Other local and well known restaurants are nearby.

Start your days with a stroll on the Beach (500 yards) and experience the new day as the Sun rises. Later, put the day to rest by the intra-coastal waterway (100 yards) for Sunset. Mother Nature has a way of painting the sky each day with colors and clouds that make for awesome pictures and smiles. (Disclaimer: Weather Permitting)
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

All that you need and more

Lynn went above and beyond offering everything that we hope for in a vacation home for our family of 6, including ample beach towels, chairs and toys, sunscreen, coffee, water bottles, and more. The outdoor space was amazing. We used the hot tub every night and had extended family over for a meal, all 11 of us seated around the outdoor table. Across the street is a truly superb restaurant. We appreciated this because there aren’t a lot of other restaurants nearby, without going into St Augustine. We did have one fun night in town, though parking was a challenge. Beach is pristine and a 9 minute walk or 4 minute golf cart ride away. Lynn promptly responded to us when we had questions. We hope to come back in the future!

Ideal Vacation Getaway

The property is as advertised. Everything has been thought of if you’re looking for a beach or coastal vacation. The home is well managed and maintained. I would highly recommend for any family looking for a place in the St. Augustine area as downtown historic district is very close and easy to get to.

Wonderful stay!

This property was well maintained and had everything that we needed for a great stay. We really enjoyed the hot tub and such easy access to the beach using the golf cart. Lynne was very accessible and answered any questions in a timely manner. She was professional and kind. The house was exceptionally clean and the kitchen well stocked. Such an enjoyable vacation and can’t wait to book this property again.

Comfortable and restful stay

We loved the sea turtle cottage! Location was fabulous for trips to historic St. Augustine, which was loads of fun, and the beautiful beach was just a short golf cart drive away. Amenities were top notch - plenty of beach chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, and toys for beach days, fully appointed kitchen, and fabulous back yard oasis. Loved the hot tub - wish we’d been able to use it more, but sunburn and a rainy day cut into hot tub time. We would recommend this cottage to anyone!

Magical sea turtle escape!

This property is perfect for families! Our family of 6 had a wonderful time. Close to the beach. All the amenities made it easy to enjoy hanging out at the house. Not to mention all the the details that the host puts into the house. Red flashlights so we can go see the sea turtles. Books and games for the kids. Many many more. We are already booking our spot for next year. Pictures do not do justice to how nice this place is.

Excellent stay (again!)

This is our second time staying in this house, first time with Lynne as the owner. Just as before the house is perfect and exceptionally clean. There were a few nice touches added since last time (new golf cart, landscaping, easier check in process, etc) which were very nice. I look forward to staying again very soon. Highly recommend this house for its location and being fully stocked with anything you could possibly need. Thank you Lynne!

Amazing Stay

Lynne was very attentive to every detail in the house! We had everything we needed and she even made sure to let us know about any service providers that would be on the property such as lawn service or spa service. The neighborhood was great and we enjoyed talking to one of the neighbors. The beach was really wonderful and was quiet which was perfect as we were traveling during Covid 19. The house had everything we needed and we would definitely book again if we find ourselves back in the St Augustine area!

We'll be back!

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at this lovely, comfortable cottage set among the live oak trees! The newly-added privacy fence made a secluded outdoor retreat, complete with hot tub, outdoor kitchen, comfortable seating - even a chiminea for a campfire. The Adirondack chairs on the front porch were a perfect place to read and watch the world go by. My husband and I walked for miles along the beach at low tide, along the trails at the nature preserve, and around the beautiful streets of historic St. Augustine. Just writing this review makes me want to head right back to the Sea Turtle cottage! Thank you, Lynne, for being such a responsive and thoughtful owner.

Truly a home away from home!

My family of 4 had an amazing stay! The location and home were perfect, with the beach a quick walk away from the house and all that St. Augustine has to offer only a short 5 minute car ride . The house layout, outdoor living space and easy access to top rated waterfront restaurants (Cap’s on the Water is literally 50 yards from this home). Lynne was more than responsive and accommodating to us for our stay and we cannot wait to book again. 5 stars across the board!
