About this property

Boathouse Cottage, Historic District Pvt Pier 1 blk to Trolley & Fort

Entire Cottage, private pier and deck, water birds&sea life, kayaking and more.
Boathouse Cottage on the Bay is .01 to city gates

Our beautifully renovated Boat House/Carriage House is located on direct waterfront with ocean view of inlet and the bay/river in St Aug.property and between two National Shrines within a 10 minutes walk. The Shrine of Our Lady de la Leche at Mission de Dios is the oldest Marian Shrine in the US and was most recently elevated to a National Shrine by the US Conference of Catholic Bishops. The Greek Orthodox National Shrine St Photios is located about 10 minutes down on St George St. Walk the Bridge of Lions which is about 10 minutes walking through the fort green and along the bay front by the horse and carriages. Trolleys and Ripley's are 1 block away. Restaurants and town 5 to 10 minute walk. Relax on the screened covered patio and watch the soldiers load the cannons. Awesome!

Located at the water’s edge, this extraordinary 1920’s home once served as a working boathouse! And while it’s maritime charm still remains, the newly updated accommodations feature all the comforts of home.

Two beautifully appointed bedrooms and a comfortable queen sized pull-out couch in the spacious Florida Room serve as your sleeping options, accompanied by two full baths with your choice of a tub or shower.

Along with the fantastic Florida Room, you’ll find a delightful screened in porch that will have you kicking back to sip a cool beverage as you enjoy the parade of seagoing vessels that pass along your view of the waterway throughout the day.
However, it is truly the majesty of waking to the spectacular sunrise and closing the day bathed in the glow of the afternoon sunset that will have you know that you have chosen the ideal location for your getaway to St. Augustine!
There are dozens of wonderful restaurants in the city, however if it is homemade that you prefer, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen and new gas BBQ grill are at the ready for you to enjoy. You will also have access to everything from a combination gas range/electric oven, microwave, coffee maker, and dining/cooking/service ware to express your culinary expertise. The kitchen also features a washer/dryer so no need to overpack!

Native seagulls and pelicans love our private pier but they are more than happy to share it, so BYOK Bring Your Own Kayak or rent one locally. If you prefer a guided tour, there are many experts in town who want nothing more than to impart their wealth of knowledge with comprehensive tours of our marshes, waterways, and local sea life.

We have private parking for our guests so tuck away your keys and pack some comfortable shoes. Walking is a great way to get about town, with the heart of the city ten minutes away. There are also additional unique ways to traverse the cobblestone streets. You may opt to hail a romantic horse-drawn carriage or hop aboard an old fashioned trolley. The inexpensive pedi-cabs are also a fun experience.

The Castillo de San Marcos will be your neighbor to the south while in residence and is a “must see” (or hear) with it’s daily cannon firings! A day at the beach, galleries, iconic historic venues, antiquing, and plenty of shopping in the city or the outlet malls will have you ready to plan a return visit, so book now. Your warm welcome is waiting!

Fantastic quite cottage on waters edge
This was one of the best equipped cottages I’ve stayed in. It’s in a great location on the waters edge and within walking distance of all the attractions and restaurants. It was also very peaceful.

New Years in St Augustine
Location, location, location. This charming renovated property is the perfect place for your stay. On the water, private dock, screened porch, everything you could want. Your next door neighbor is the Castillo de San Marco. Inside is clean and roomy. Fully stocked with all kitchen essentials.

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION
Beautiful sunrises from this property not to mention right on the water. Easy walk to historic downtown. Beautiful view of the fort. Very private and quiet area. The cannons to go off every hr from the fort on the wkends from 10:30-3:30, so if you bring your fur baby and they do not like big booms be aware. It was nice to be in historic area yet be away from all the dowtown noise if needed. Home has everything you need for your stay. Highly recommend. Pictures do not do the home justice.

A peaceful escape, yet close to the fun of St. Augustine.
This property was just as described. It was clean and had everything you could possibly need. The location cannot be beat, everything in town is walkable and we rarely needed to use our car while we were there. When the hustle and bustle of downtown St. Augustine got to be too much, we walked back to the house, sat on the dock, and watched the birds and dolphins go by. We even saw a manatee swim by a few times. All in all, we had a fabulous time.

Tranquil Escape with Spectacular Views
From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a panorama of breathtaking scenery that seemed to stretch the horizon. As promised, the accommodations were exactly as depicted in the photos. One of the highlights of our stay was the unrivaled proximity to downtown, allowing us to explore Saint Augustine with ease.
