About this property

CHARMING 2/2 COTTAGE 2 1/2 BLOCKS TO THE BEACH/PET FRIENDLY/ FREE<br>WI FI !

Quaint and comfortable: 2 bedroom and 2 bathroom cottage available for rent for your vacation or get-away. Over 1100 sq. ft. of living area. Master bedroom has a queen size bed and a small flat screen tv. Guest bedroom has 2 twin beds. Each bedroom as it's own bath. Covered front porch, with a swing and porch furniture. As well as a private, screened in back porch that has a small dining table and chairs for your enjoyment. The kitchen is fully equipped with cookware, a coffee maker, dishes and flatware. All linens are provided as well as several beach towels.
The Cracker House is not your typical Florida beach house, a friend of ours from North Carolina, has said that it's a 'Mountain Home at the Beach". While the Cracker House is certainly not upscale, we think you will find it clean, comfortable, charming and in a very quite neighborhood, with friendly neighbors.
There are 2 grocery stores, just a short drive south on AIA, as well as numerous restaurants within walking distance from our cottage, to enjoy, if you don't feel like cooking.

PLEASE NOTE … STARTING IN 2023…PLEASE PROVIDE A COPY OF YOUR PHOTO ID AFTER YOUR BOOKING HAS BEEN CONFIRMED/ACCEPTED. YOU CAN EITHER EMAIL OR TEXT IT TO ME, BUT I MUST RECEIVE IT WITHIN 48 HOURS OF ACCEPTANCE OF YOUR BOOKING.

Quiet little place
Enjoyed our stay very much. Wasn’t there much as we were out visiting our family that live local for the Christmas gatherings. One suggestion is to get smart TVs or fire sticks. All else was good. Had everything we needed to prep our dishes. Deffin recommend the area and the host. Thank you for allowing us to use your home during the holidays.

December Long Stay
We have just returned home from our 23 night stay at the Cracker House. It has a great location close to the beach, restaurants, groceries and attractions. The house itself is a time capsule from the 60s which gives it a funky vibe but means some modern comforts are lacking. Our long stay would have been improved with the addition of brighter lighting especially for reading, some firm, well constructed seating, a smart TV and a hotel quality mattress. Loved St Augustine in December and will recommend it to everyone.

Great location and amply stocked
Great, quiet location at the end of a no-outlet street 3 blocks from the beach. Easy to drive 2 blocks across A1A, park in a public lot, and then to carry beach things 1 more block and onto the beach. The house is amply stocked with all kitchen utensils and glasses/dishes, coffee maker with coffee, hygiene and detergent products. Very cozy and wonderfully decorated. We enjoyed our week here!

Never get tired...
3rd time we stay here and in 3 months we are staying again. We will continue to stay here whenever possible. This home has truly become our home away from home. We truly enjoy our stay each and every time we stay. From the well stocked kitchen, to the amenities, the privacy in the back yard, the swing in porch, the location is key. Just minutes to the beach and restaurants all within walking distance. Pat has truly become more than just a host, but a friend we can count on whenever we need her at our home away from home. She is easy to get a hold of and she has made the process of checking in and out a breeze. Did I mention we are coming back in November? lol , Pat, we can`t wait to come back in November. ( I did mention that we are coming back right), lol.

About the host

Hosted by Pat Parish

Host profile image
My husband Bill, and I bought the beach house in 2004, after visiting the area for over 30 years, we lucked across this little jewel...... We currently live in the mountains of Western North Carolina and hope to one day retire to St. Augustine Beach!! Life's a beach!!!

Why they chose this property

We visited the area for over 30 years prior to buying the cottage......Great beaches, antiques stores, good bike and walking trails, good music in the Summer at the pier and wonderful restaurants. We love riding our bikes into the historic district and looking at all the old houses. Which takes about 30 minutes by bike or 10 minutes by car.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with our home because of the way it sits back in the trees and is really pretty private. It's the 3rd house from the end, on a dead end street. We love to sit on the swing on the front porch!
