Heart of Historic St. Augustine Coastal Retreat

  • Summary:

    Located in the heart of historic Lincolnville, this home places you just a short 12-minute walk from Downtown St. Augustine’s restaurants, bars, shops, museums, waterfront, and iconic historic attractions. Enjoy the convenience of being close to the energy of downtown while staying in a charming residential neighborhood known for its history, character, and quiet local feel.



    The Space:

    Why You’ll Love It

    Prime Location: Just a 12‑minute stroll to the heart of Downtown, where cobblestone streets lead to vibrant bars, acclaimed restaurants, and the city’s most iconic sights.

    Stylish Comfort: 2 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and airy open spaces designed for both relaxation and connection.

    Parking for two vehicles

    Seamless support from Whitman Vacations — we respect your privacy but are always just a message away.



    The Neighborhood:

    Lincolnville is more than a district — it’s a living story. Once the principal historic Black neighborhood of St. Augustine, it remains a cultural cornerstone, blending African American heritage, Civil Rights history, and modern vibrancy. Today, you’ll find boutique inns, local gems like Cornerstone Café, and the buzz of Dog Rose Eats just steps away.



    Getting Around:

    Walkability: The home is just a 12‑minute stroll into Historic Downtown St. Augustine — perfect for exploring cobblestone streets, shops, bars, and restaurants without needing a car.

    Biking: 2 (two) bikes are provided and additional rentals are available nearby, and cycling is a fun way to discover Lincolnville’s Victorian architecture and waterfront views.

    Rideshare & Taxis: Uber, Lyft, and local taxi services operate throughout the city for quick trips to beaches or attractions.

    Public Transit: The Sun Trolley and local shuttles connect key areas of St. Augustine, including the historic district and beaches.

    Driving: Parking for two standard‑size vehicles is provided at the property. Downtown parking lots and garages are also available if you prefer to drive.

    Sightseeing Tours: Hop‑on, hop‑off trolleys and guided tours are a popular way to experience the Oldest City without worrying about navigation.



    Other Things to Note:

    Pets Welcome (with approval): We love furry friends! A $85 pet fee applies and helps us keep the home fresh for all guests.

    Sunset Views: Don’t miss the west‑facing deck — it’s one of the best spots in Lincolnville to watch the San Sebastian River glow at dusk.



    Neighborhood Respect: Lincolnville is a historic and residential district. Please be mindful of neighbors and the community’s character.

This place was awesome for our stay in St Augustine. Being able to have to dogs with us while we were so close to the college and downtown area (walking distance) and having the beach be within driving distance was the reason we booked this place and it delivered. Next time we visit St Augustine, we will definitely look to book this place again. Thank you!!

Great location and amenities. We stayed for nights of lights and were able to go walking distance to the historic district (2 miles). The only thing to be aware of in the house is that the windows don’t have shades or curtains and you can completely see your neighbors at night and they can see you in all locations of the house. The house was clean and the host were attentive when our door code was not working at check in. Would recommend.
