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.

Love this little place! Very walkable to the historic downtown area of S.t Augustine. There's some outdoor seating options, and one area is very well shaded and a nice place to just enjoy an outside sit or cup of coffee. The host was very kind, and communicated very quickly. Will definitely be keeping this place in mind for future trips. Couldn't be a more perfect location for a solo traveler or a couple.

Exactly as described. The best thing about it is the location. Everything is in walking distance including a very good breakfast place right across the street. The only driving we did was to the beach and the Fountain of Youth, both of which had free parking.

Wonderful charming little cottage! It is small but comfortable and the interior is considered thoughtfully. I appreciate that the host provides lots of simple basics such as a Kuereg with coffee pods and all sorts of adsorted things one might forget to bring. Other places I have stayed were so bare minimum. The interior feels much bigger than it looks on the outside and was quite comfortable, even though it was unseasonably cold with below freezing temps! It's also in a convenient location a short walk to the visitor center and St George Street. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again.

My fiance and I stayed here for our 7th anniversary get away and it was beautiful. Not only was the cottage comfortable, our host Hillary was super fast to respond and oh so kind. It's extremely close to everything so you can just park your car and walk to almost everything. Hilary provided recommendations for what we were looking to experience as well and the cottage is full of brochures and maps! Definitely recommend!

My wife and our dogs stayed at Hilary’s rental for our anniversary weekend, and it was absolutely perfect. The space was cozy, spotless, and had everything we could possibly need, plus an incredibly convenient location that made getting around easy. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we were able to relax and enjoy every moment. Hilary was an outstanding host — incredibly accommodating, thoughtful, and went above and beyond to make sure our stay was comfortable. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again and already look forward to our next visit.

Tiny but clean and cozy. Location is a big plus. Very easy and straightforward checking in and checkout. Hostess is just a call or a message away. I would recommend for a single person or a couple in a short getaway.

The best attribute is Location to old town St Augustine . Only 2-3 blocks for the old town district. Parking is that a premium in St Augustine so having ample off street parking and an easy walk to town is fabulous. The cottage is just the right size for two people. I had all we needed for our stay. The Hostess was a great communicate and I will give our experience an A

A lovely little cottage! Lots of quaint accents with everything we needed for the weekend.We came to St Augustine for the Night of Lights and the cottage location so close to downtown was perfect.The only drawback to its location was the traffic noise. Otherwise, we were able to avoid the hassle of traffic and looking for parking.
Bathroom. Small and adequate.
Nice little kitchen.
Very comfortable bed.

Though small, the cottage was suitable for 2 people and our dog. The location was ideal for walking to the old city. At this time of the year it was very busy at night with traffic and people going to see the wonderful lights display. Tennis courts were also conveniently nearby. We had trouble with the Roku tv because it was unfamiliar to us. Hillary and Jeremy did their best to help and were available throughout our stay. We recommend this cottage for anyone wishing to see St. Augustine especially during the holiday season.
