The Red Cottage ~ 5 min. stroll to Historic St. George Street - on site parking

In full disclosure the Red Cottage is a 125 year old structure, built from lumber salvaged after the 1914 fire. It was used by a native Spaniard, Manuel Menendez, where he rolled cigars until the mid 1930's. It has its quirks and flaws but it's decor, warmth and persona are enchanting. Incredibly convenient and very accessible this is perfect for you if you love vintage.

It was converted to a one room studio with a small kitchen and bathroom. Rustic, quaint, cozy and charming ~ it was recently renovated but still maintains a touch of its history. The kitchen is equipped with a Keurig coffee machine and pods, cream & sugar, a small refrigerator, microwave, toaster, and normal kitchen necessities. Please note per the pictures, the bathroom is small and the shower can be a bit tight. A flagstone patio offers outside seating. Free off-street parking is available with lots of extra space for trailer, boat or a recreational vehicle.

The Cottage sits on a large piece of property behind a turn-of-the-century Victorian home (the property owner's rental) overlooking Castillo Drive, the entrance to the city. Francis Field, across the street, is the downtown dog park/event field. Less than 200 yards East is The Visitor Center, and City Gates. Castillo de San Marco (the fort) and Saint George Street are just beyond. Short drives take you to the beautiful beaches of Villano, 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, St. George street offers many lovely boutiques, and gift shops. Or choose from area outlet malls, farmer's markets, antique stores, etc.

This little cottage is just too adorable! We loved it. The location was perfect. It faces Castillo Ave. It is a 7 to 15 minute walk to the important places! We didn't use the kitchen much other than to make coffee with plenty of KCups and the fixin's, but it is a full kitchen. The bed was perfectly firm! The temperature inside when we arrived was perfectly cool. The AC did have a struggle with the heat index of 110 - 115 for a couple days. But the owner made sure to get us a couple fans to help with that which was a good send! Hilary, was an awesome owner. Communication was perfect and caring! I highly recommend renting this little red cottage!

Myself and my girlfriend were in town to go to a concert and celebrate her birthday, was the perfect place for that, super close to the historic district full of food and shops and to the amphitheater where we went to the concert. The place is absolutely adorable and would definitely stay there again if we found ourselves back in the area
