Charming 3/2 Cottage- Close to beach & Historic Downtown

Cottage on May – Newly listed!

Enjoy this historic 1935 home which has been recently renovated with brand new amenities.

Location – Location – Location. The Cottage on May is only 1.6 miles from Vilano Beach, a favorite spot for the locals. The Fountain of Youth and Old Jail are only a five-minute walk. Take a romantic stroll down the picturesque Magnolia Avenue, one of the most photographed streets in the USA. Historic downtown, St. George Street and the Castillo de San Marcos fort are a short 20-minute walk, only one mile. Restaurants, Antique Shops and many Boutiques are within walking distance. Don’t feel like walking? There are a couple of bicycles in the shed that you are welcome to use. Also available are beach chairs, beach umbrella and boogie boards.

This home is a three-bedroom split plan, allowing the adults a bit of privacy from other guests. The master bedroom has its own bath with shower. The guest bedrooms share another bath which has a tub. All bedrooms have Smart TV’s with complimentary Comcast programming. The home also has high speed internet with Wi-Fi throughout. Home has Central A/C and all bedrooms have ceiling fans.

The kitchen has been updated with new appliances, cabinetry and quartz countertops. The focal point of our kitchen is the original brick chimney once used for a wood burning stove. Neatly stowed away you will find all the necessary gadgets to accommodate your stay. Adjacent to the kitchen is the Mud Room, complete with large Washer, Dryer, sitting area and farm sink to rinse the sand off after a relaxing day at the beach.

The Living Room is a wonderful place to relax, complete with reading nook, fireplace and television. The gorgeous original wood floors add to the historic charm. Off the Living Room is a cozy Sunroom complete with seating area and writing desk. Looking out the front window, you will see the historic “Pink Castle” home which is a historic St. Augustine landmark.

What we love most about our home is the outdoor areas. The home is completely nestled beneath a canopy of stately oak trees which are draped with Spanish Moss. An outdoor dining area is set up under a beautiful pergola with string lights that set the mood. Enjoy some S’mores at the firepit chiminea. A new Weber gas grill is also available. The yard is plenty large enough for the young ones to play.

No issues with parking at this home. There are three spaces in the front driveway and two more in the rear driveway off San Carlos Avenue.

For your safety, the home has passed the fire department safety inspection. It is complete with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguisher, egress diagrams and emergency lighting.

We welcome you to the Cottage on May.

Beautiful holiday vacation

It was a real treat stain at the cottage on May. The house is very quaint and a real throwback to a different era. The property was spacious and the yard was fairly well maintained. A big plus for us were two bicycles that were available in the Back shed. We would definitely recommend this property.

Charming cottage and great location

My family and I just stayed this past weekend at this charming cottage and it did not disappoint. It was tastefully decorated, clean, and had all the necessary comforts of home readily available. There was an informative catalogue offered that provided some helpful local information if you weren’t familiar with the area. Perfect location to downtown, Anastasia Island, and all the places we were hoping to visit. The owners were very communicative and helpful. We would highly recommend this home and look forward To our next visit. ❤️

Cozy Cottage

We rented this cottage because it was not far from the historic areas and restaurants; however, when we arrived, the environment was so serene that we only went out to dinner once, and to the beach to watch the sunrise. This cottage is spacious, and in a very quiet neighborhood. The literature placed in the resting areas added such a homely touch. It was a treat to just sit on the enclosed porch reading or spend quality preparing dinner together in the kitchen We really enjoyed our stay there! Sabrina

Weekend Wedding Getaway

This home and property is amazing. I’ve stayed in various areas of St. Augustine and this was by far my favorite. The hosts have done an outstanding job stocking this home with literally everything you might need - even food for the wildlife. The decor is beautiful, with an especially lovely backyard great for morning coffee and outdoor dining. We had a very small wedding in the yard and it was magical. Very much appreciate all the hosts did to make it special. Will definitely stay here again.
