Cobalt Cottage -- History at your doorstep

Fabulous Cobalt Cottage is located right in the heart of Historic St Augustine. While peacefully residential, you will be delighted to find shops and restaurants just a short stroll away. Downtown St Augustine is a vibrant area full of art galleries, many shops filled with locally made clothing and crafts, and a multitude of restaurants full of unique dishes whose tantalizing scents lure you inside. A pristine and charming home in a most perfect location. Come Visit!

Cobalt Cottage is tastefully remodeled inside and out. While everything is new, the charm of the historic district and the exquisite details in this home will make you believe that you have just stepped back into the 1800's. A most magnificent kitchen with large center island invites the most discerning of chefs and gives the family a fabulous place for friends to gather and enjoy. True hardwood floors. Italian leather recliners and sofa in the living room give a rich and comfortable presence and are wonderfully tempting to curl up and enjoy a lazy day. The Trolley passes in front of Cobalt Cottage and is enchanting to listen to the sounds of St Augustine as they pass by telling the history of our street and town. A stroll into commercial downtown exudes charm with the clip clop of the horses' hooves pulling a buggy. We invite you to discover our Nation's Oldest City in all its charm!

We hold nothing back and want for you to enjoy all of this home in all of its splendor. Welcome.

This home is in a charming neighborhood of historic makeovers, brand new modern homes and homes that have stayed exactly the same for years as they are passed down in the family. You are a very short walk to downtown and St George Street with all the shops and restaurants. Fabulous place to watch the Nights of Lights which is everyone's favorite time of year, mid November until end of January.

This home has 4 spaces for cars to park off street so you can bring a car, however it is totally walkable to everything downtown. Just over the bridge you will find Anastasia Island where you will enjoy our beautiful beaches. Downtown also has horse and buggy rides, red trolly and green trolly which take you to places downtown and also one of them will take you to the island.

While parking spaces downtown may be few and far between, at Cobalt Cottage you will find room to park 4 cars tandem on the side of the house. Also, the proximity to St George Street (please check it out), the marina and everything downtown is all within walking distance of this charming home.
You must be at least 25 years of age in order to make a reservation. The person who makes the reservation must occupy the residence for the duration of the reservation.

Terrific Place and Location

Most everything was great, but you will be asked to do much of the cleaning before you leave. Otherwise, some pretty substantial "fines" will be assessed. Really enjoyed it, though. Thank you.

Great house, perfect location

We had a wonderful stay at Cobalt Cottage. The house is homey, spacious, very clean & in a quiet neighborhood that’s just a few minute walk to everything. You can tell the owners care about the guest experience & provide plenty of extra linens & supplies. The furniture is all very comfy & high quality (except the king bed in the master is oddly squeaky) and the kitchen has everything needed. The master bedroom is downstairs with French doors opening to the back porch. Then the other three bedrooms are upstairs with one bathroom to share. There’s also a half bath on the main level so there’s plenty of privacy for a large group. The management company was great- very responsive & made the stay easy. Thank you for a great stay!

Cobalt Cottage

The location of this house was perfect for us. We were participating in our son’s wedding at the Cathedral with a reception at the Lightner, both were a short walk. The house itself was nice with a large kitchen/great room and even came with a decorated Christmas tree! The downside of the rental was that it was through a management company. They originally listed the rental as pet friendly, but when we looked at the house rules sent after our booking, pets were not allowed. So, we had to cancel our plans to bring our dog. Additionally, we had trouble fully closing the blinds in one of the French doors in the master bedroom and a motion activated light on the back porch kept waking us up at night. We called the management company, they said they would get back to us, but they never did.

Attended the Song Writer’s Festival

The Cobalt cottage was a wonderful house to rent for 10 adults with great location to everything in downtown St Augustine. We walked everywhere no need for a golf cart at this location (other than your ability to walk). We had 4 cars and were able to park them all without any problems. The only reason I did not give 5 stars across the board was over the sleeping arrangements. The top 2 bunks were not fit for adults or young adults, would not put a person over 50lbs on them. We made it by 2 adults sleeping in the very comfortable recliners and comfortable reclining sofa. I have made the property aware of the beds and they are fixing the issues. It really is a wonderful house and location. Would definitely rent it again ( just may bring an air mattress for emergencies)

A cozy weekend getaway

I couldn’t have imagined a better house for my best friend’s bachelorette weekend! All of us couldn’t stop saying how perfect this house was! Also, the hosts were so hospitable and checked in to see how our stay was and if we needed anything. If anyone is looking for a house that is within walking distance to historic downtown st. augustine, look no further than the Cobalt Cottage!

St Augustine stay

My family was in St Augustine for a family wedding and we needed a house that was wheelchair accessible. The open floor plan, master bedroom downstairs, handicap accessible master shower, and entry ramp in back made this house perfect for our needs. Great location and lovely updated home. We were very comfortable.

Perfect House, Perfect Location

This house was adorable and spotless! The main area is way bigger than the pictures make it look. The bed in the master was a little creaky but the new upgrades more than made up for it. The location was super close to everything in downtown St. Augustine! A great spot for a larger group as it can accommodate quite a few guests and has ample parking.

Good with a few short comings

Nice property, centrally located, but few issues in the master bedroom made for restless nights. Specifically, misaligned blinds over a glass french bedroom door resulted in ambient light from a rear neighboring security light along with a ring floodlight cam installed over the rear patio spilling into the master bedroom at night. This was coupled with a mattress in the master bedroom that was very squeaky, subsequently being disruptive overnight when sleeping.
