Mermaid Cottage Near Historic St Augustine

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.

Beautiful little home perfect for our family vacation. The host was very responsive. Loved the backyard for the kids to play! suggestion: some window seals had mold on them and the room where the water heater is in smells very moldy as well which perhaps might to be looked at and could be a reason why the house had this wired odor. Loved the stay and would come back!
