Mermaid Cottage – 3 BDR Charmer!

Summary:

Whether you're exploring the historical sites, lounging on the pristine beaches, or simply enjoying the welcoming Southern hospitality, St. Augustine invites you to create lasting memories in a destination where the past and present seamlessly intertwine.



The Space:

Mermaid Cottage offers the perfect blend of nostalgic mid-century aesthetics and contemporary comforts mixed with a little Mermaid charm., This enchanting 3-bedroom 2-bath home, just across the San Sebastian River from the city center, gladly welcomes you to this dynamic area where vibrant culture meets timeless beauty. A spacious and scenic backyard offers the peace and relaxation you’ve been looking forward to whether dining on a meal al fresco on the deck, gathering around the firepit under the stars, or taking a quiet afternoon nap in the hammock.

You’ll be within just a short drive or twenty-minute walk to the heart of downtown when you’re ready to get out and explore the wide variety of landmarks, shopping, dining, attractions, and festivals, all offering unique experiences to get to know this eclectic city and the locals within it. If you happen to be visiting during the months of November thru January, you won’t want to miss the Nights of Lights, a dazzling and award-winning holiday lights display that you can experience by foot, train, or trolley, or even a romantic horse-drawn carriage ride. Those sparkling white beaches Florida is well known for are a quick four-mile drive away, making day trips a literal breeze.

Inside the home, the magical interior’s unique charm seamlessly blends comfortable, contemporary furnishings with charming coastal-chic style, offering spaces designed as much for connectivity as they are for rejuvenation. Sink into plush living room sofa seating while you queue up that new movie you’ve been saving on the smart TV. An even cozier seating area is nearby, perfect for sipping your morning coffee while turning the pages of a good book. The well-stocked kitchen includes all the comforts of home to help you whip up an afternoon snack or full, family-style meal, showcasing stainless steel appliances and ample counter space and cabinetry for preparation and storage. The reverse osmosis water system will save you time and money as you opt for reusable water bottles to help keep you hydrated on the go. Dine together or host a family game night at the dining table, with enough seating for the whole crew.

Girls Weekend

We enjoyed our stay at the Mermaid Cottage. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The neighborhood is a transitional neighborhood so we felt a little nervous at first. The grass had not been cut when we were there but I am sure they have had rainy weather that prevented them from cutting it before we arrived. We will definitely consider staying here again if we are in the area.

Perfect for us!

The Mermaid cottage is a delightfully decorated home, exactly as described on line. Spacious, comfortable, tasteful and just beautiful! We appreciated initial paper product supplies, shampoos and soaps and the bonus was a more-than-adequate spice cabinet! And the coffee bar was so grand! We were not able to enjoy the gathering area outside due to the season’s intense heat but the patio served nicely for morning coffee. Easily 5+ stars and would love to stay again!

Disappointed- Moist and musty house!

The reviews on this cottage baffle me- is nobody going to mention the smell? We arrived at 11pm, and immediately upon opening the front door were hit with the smell of mustiness and it only got worse the further we walked into the house. The coral bedroom and the main bedroom with the queen bed had the least amount of smell, but the rest of the house just reeks. Our daughter has asthma along with bad allergies, so we knew we wouldn’t be able to stay. We all woke up the next morning stuffy, with puffy eyes and just feeling gross- we were out of there as soon as possible. The house is surface clean, but they have a serious mold issue somewhere. I understand that the house is in an older area- but they know there is moisture because there were 3 “moisture eliminator” traps that we saw in various rooms. Pros: well stocked, surface clean Cons: mold, moist and musty, located in a not so great neighborhood, which may not matter depending on how much time you spend in the house. I definitely wouldn’t have felt comfortable sitting out in the backyard at night

We all had a great time. Loved having a cool home to come to after a day of sightseeing and wedding activities. Private and welcoming. The only complaint is the mattress on the Hide abed. It was a "torture rack". The inquiry about the iron was addressed very quickly.

Hidden Gem

We stayed at The Mermaid Cottage while visiting St. Augustine. It was a lovely stay. The house is located close enough to anything you would need. Everything is just a short drive away. The owners had a binder full of so much helpful local information as well as their story on the journey of remodeling the house which we enjoyed. I cant wait to come back again and see what other transformations have taken place. I would love to see the large backyard transformed into a tropical oasis fitting of Florida. There's a lot of potential there. I loved the layout and decor of the cottage and I really felt like the owners had really thought of anything we may have needed during our stay. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and there was plenty of bedding and towels available for our family of 4. Thanks for helping to make our trip amazing. Hope to visit again soon!

Very uncomfortable

This property would not even be recommend to stay if you ask me. The location is not good at all, doesn’t feel safe at all. The AC broke after the first night and the temperature in the house reached to 95 degrees being summer in Florida. The owner was going to come install portable units at 4Pm that afternoon. We had to leave the location, we were on vacation in a house with unbearable heat. The Owner gave no apology, or any type of refund. Save your trip and stay somewhere else!
