The Red Cottage ~ 5min stroll to Fort, St. George St., Shops, Restaurants, etc.

In full disclosure The Red Cottage is a 100 year old structure, built from lumber salvaged after the 1914 fire. Now more than a hundred years later it has its quirks and flaws and very few level or straight lines but it's charm, warmth and persona are enchanting. The Red Cottage isn't for everybody. So with that said, if you’re hesitant the cottage may not be for you.

It is rustic, quaint, cozy and charming. It has recently been renovated and has all of the modern luxuries with a touch of its history. It has been converted to a one room sitting area/bedroom with a small kitchen and bathroom (shower only). The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig coffee machine multiple coffee pods, cream & sugar, a small refrigerator, stove, microwave, a toaster, and normal kitchen necessities. A flagstone patio offers outside seating. Free off-street parking with extra space for trailer/boat or a recreational vehicle is on the property.

The Cottage sits on the back of the property overlooking Castillo Drive, the entrance to the city. Francis Field, across the street, is the downtown event field/ dog park. The Cottage sleeps two comfortably with a large loft that sleeps two. I have to divulge, the loft is a steep ascent up a vertical ladder, so if you're considering this space you need to be agile. Less than 200 yards East is The Visitor Center and the trolley hub. The Fort and Saint George Street are 100 yards beyond. The Cottage sits on a large piece of property behind a turn-of-the-century Victorian home. The Cottage was also built around the turn of the century where Manuel Mendez rolled cigars until the mid 1930's. Short drives take you to the beautiful beaches of Anastasia State Park and St. Augustine Beach. On the way to the beach, stop by the Alligator Farm and the Historic St. Augustine Light House. For shopping, choose from area outlet malls, flea market, and several farmer's markets.

Safe travels and peace be with you.

Quick weekend getaway
Jeremy was accommodating to our needs of checking in after midnite. Warmly welcomed us at that hour and gave the grand cottage tour. Location was perfect to pop in and out of throughout the day while enjoying the town. Harry the cat patrolled the property throughout the night and enjoyed head scratches during the day. This was a perfect weekend for us. Thank you for making our weekend special.

Wonderful weekend getaway!
My partner and I were able to get away and enjoy a beautiful weekend in St. Augustine. The communication from the property team was great! We had suffered a storm the morning we were supposed to drive in and they allowed us to check in at a later time. We were so close to everything, we didn't have to drive all weekend! We walked to and from the city and were able to enjoy the city and all it's beautiful sites. I would definitely book again for another weekend getaway. (:

Weekend away
We chose this location because we were attending my son's wedding. We were able to walk to downtown which saved on parking. The patio area was a big hit for relaxing in the evenings.

Great Location
We’ve stayed here several times. Love seeing Barbara and Jeremy. Very hospitable. The house is more a studio which works well for us.

Decent
It was okay, little run down compared to pictures but overall good for the price. The shower is super small, so if you have long hair, you won’t be able to wash shampoo out of it. The toilet is on an odd platform, so it’s awkward to use. The owners are super nice and friendly. It’s a decent place to stay as a stop gap.

Convenient
The Red Cottage is an easy walk to St. George Street and all of the historical sights we were interested in seeing. The cottage itself is an eclectic array of furnishings. We are not 5 star accommodation seekers. So, the few quirks we encountered did not disturb us. Unfortunately my husband caught a cough due to cold, which curtailed our sight seeing. But, the good news is, Jeremy, the owner was kind enough to give him ibuprofen and cough drops to help him through. Remember folks, it's always an adventure when you rent a place sight unseen. Ejoy the ride!

Perfect location
This cute little room behind the house was perfect for what we needed. It was across the street from Florida Man Games (a venue that hosts many other festivals) and maybe 2-3 blocks from all the major st augustine historic district attractions. There is parking on site, which is huge for that area. The room itself is not the cleanest in the knooks and crannies but we're not picky about that sort of thing so the charm of it greatly outweighed the little things. Host was very involved and concerned for our comfort, thanks Jeremy! It's a tight squeeze and a good rental for 2, but we also made 4 work in the space with no issues. You really can't beat the location and the price! Excellent people watching capabilities.
