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.

Excellent location to discover St Augustine
This was a great place to stay, close to the fort and many downtown attractions and restaurants. My only problem was the coffee maker didn't work, otherwise it was really a perfect place.

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.

Best Location Ever
We loved our weeklong stay at this home. The location could not have been better. It was very comfortable and we felt like we lived there. We loved sitting in the screened in porch to watch the birds and boats going by. We were able to walk to restaurants and activities in Old St. Augustine. The trolley station is right on the corner 2 blocks down. If you are coming to this area you really need to stay here. You will be pleased.
