Cute Beach Cottage ~ Steps to Pier Park and the Beach ~ Great Value!

Just a few houses back from the sand and the St. Augustine Beach fishing pier, Laughing Gull Cottage is a single-level beach home built for the kind of trip where the water is a short walk away and the day stays uncomplicated. It is a freestanding cottage, not a unit in a building, so you get your own front door, your own yard, and a quiet spot to come back to between beach runs.

The floor plan is easy to live in. Two bedrooms sleep up to four: one holds a queen bed, the other a double. There is one full bathroom, plus a living room, a dining area, and a full kitchen, all spread across a single 700 square foot level with no stairs to manage. The kitchen is stocked for real cooking, with a full-size refrigerator, stove and oven, microwave, coffee maker, toaster, and the cookware, dishes, and utensils you need to put a meal together after a long afternoon outside.

Outdoors is part of the appeal. A covered patio gives you shade for morning coffee, the backyard is fully fenced, and a one-car garage means your boards, chairs, and sandy gear have somewhere to live between trips to the beach. Inside you will also find an in-home washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, cable and satellite TV, central air and heat, and linens and towels provided. The cottage is pet-friendly, and the fenced yard makes it an easy choice for travelers bringing a dog. Pets are welcome for an additional pet fee.

The setting is the draw. St. Augustine Beach Pier Park is close by, with volleyball, a splash park, the Wednesday farmers market, and the summer Music by the Sea concerts, and restaurants and shops sit within an easy walk. When you want a change of pace, historic downtown St. Augustine is a short drive for ghost tours, the old fort, and dinner along the bay.

Great visit tSt Augustine

Returning to visit friends a year after relocating north, Laughing Gull cottage was the perfect home away from home. The living room was roomy enough to host 2-3 visitors. The primary bedroom was very comfortable. The location near the beach and restaurants turned out to be extremely convenient. We are grateful to have discovered this cute cottage.
