City of Lights

Location of property ideal. Unit more of a duplex than a cottage but very quiet, well equipped and comfortable. Though we hit a cold spell, we were nice and cozy inside. Parking in back is a bit tricky. Overall, an excellent stay and would go back again.cozy

5 Star Rating!!

My best friend and I planned a trip to St Augustine, and found this wonderful cottage to stay in. It was very clean, comfortable and is a convenient location to Get to the tourist attractions and see the beautiful architecture from Spanish colonial Days. We highly recommend this cottage to future travelers.

Two Night Stay

The yellow cottage was very clean and comfortable. We parked the car upon arrival and didn't use it again until we left. The location is perfect for walking to the historic/shopping/restaurant district. We would certainly stay here again in the future.

Quaint Cozy Clean Historic Cottage

We had such a wonderful and peaceful stay in your cozy cottage . Although we only live a few hours away, in Titusville Florida, I felt like I was transported to another world. It is so quiet, charming and peaceful here but we have all the modern amenities – the very best of both worlds. Located on a beautiful quiet street!

Great place to stay!

My husband & I try to take a trip every year for our anniversary. This was our first time to St Augustine & my favorite trip so far! The cottage was peaceful, clean, comfortable & full of charm. We enjoyed having coffee on the screened porch each morning. The location is excellent! No shortage of restaurants or activities within walking distance. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go! Many thanks to the host for sharing this property.

Convenient St Augustine location

Well equipped, clean apartment in the historical uptown neighborhood. Very convenient to walk and avoid parking problems in the city. Nice enclosed porch & also outside seating. Host provides helpful information about the area in a notebook as well as brochures from a variety of locations.

Location!

The location could not be better. Once we checked in, we parked and didnt move the car. Easy walk to almost everywhere. The house is old, but comfy. Remember, that in an older house, you may feel a chill now and then and the wooden floors are cold in the morning. This is not a criticism, just an FYI if you've not lived in an older house before. The screened front porch was a nice outside space. Beautiful, historic town with so much to see and do, all within a short walk. Shopaholics (like me) will be in heaven; full buffet of boutique, art and antique shops. Will definitely plan to visit again. Could not see all in one trip.

Great Get-Away Cottage - A+ all around.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by our host, Kony the cat. Which was an added delight as Kony also checked on us the following day. The Cottage was Cute, Clean, Cozy, Comfortable, Convenient and Close to town. Walking distance to everything we wanted to do and see. Jim (the real host) responded quickly to emails to help plan our perfect get-away Birthday weekend. Can’t say enough good things about our stay. We highly recommend this place and would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful Cottage

We were meeting friends in St.Augustine over Christmas. Found your wonderful cottage that worked out great. We parked our car and walked everywhere. It was quaint, cozy and private. Perfect for our stay. Great screened in porch. Our friends came over and we played games. Even though it was raining we were able to stay on the porch. Thank You Jim for sharing your wonderful cottage with us. Would definitely rent again.

Perfectly located in a quiet area but walkable to everything

Everything was as described, kitchen was well equipped, bed was very comfortable. The enclosed porch for coffee and dining was our favorite part. Our only issue was with parking. There was debris from remodeling and a truck in the promised parking space, so we had to park our large vehicle on the street. We actually moved some of the debris ourselves the next day in order to get off the street. With that though, we would definitely consider renting here again.

Anniversary trip

The property is even better than it looks online. This unit is so comfortable and cozy and it was very clean with everything you could want or need. Decor and design is superb. The location cannot be beat as you truly do not need to drive to historic locations. The only time we drove was to go to Collage Restaurant because it was threatening rain. Jim was super to work with and we really appreciate his quick response to any questions we had. We enjoyed the peaceful screened in front porch in the evening along with the lovely lights in the garden. Thank you, Jim, for your hospitality and in making our 60th wedding anniversary stay perfect. We highly recommend Casa Tranquila if you are looking for a relaxing stay in St. Augustine. The Prydes

My husband and I just had an amazing 4 days at Casa Tranquila! Every detail about the property, furnishings, location, and amenities combined to give us a truly magical experience! Our host Jim couldn't have been more helpful and kind through the process! We loved every minute there. We would highly recommend this charming and cozy cottage for your next St. Augustine adventure!
