Nestled along the tranquil shores of St. Augustine, Florida, this stunning 1930s historic cottage has been thoughtfully renovated to offer an elegant blend of old-world charm and modern luxury.

Step into a space where mid-century modern design and luxury finishes come together, creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication. The fully renovated kitchen, outfitted with premier appliances, will delight any cooking enthusiast as it offers sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. The large living room, complete with high ceilings, invites you to relax and enjoy the serene beauty of the surroundings.
Upstairs, the master bedroom features stunning views of the marsh and the Atlantic Ocean, making it the perfect spot to wake up and enjoy a cup of coffee while soaking in the natural beauty. The iconic 80-year-old door opens out onto the expansive rooftop deck, where you can bask in the sunrise views over the Atlantic Ocean and watch the sunset over the river—a truly magical experience.
The newly built dock invites you to immerse yourself in nature. The covered roof provides a view of the flourishing ecosystem, and the property’s peaceful ambiance encourages you to reconnect with nature. Down below, you’ll find the Balance & Clarity 7 spa, nestled under a lush oak canopy, offering a private and peaceful retreat. Whether you’re unwinding in the hot tub, enjoying a meal from the BBQ grill, or simply taking in the views from the rooftop, this cottage promises a stay like no other.
Located just a short walk from the beach and only three miles from the historic district of downtown St. Augustine, you’ll find the perfect balance between tranquility and convenience. This historic home, combined with modern amenities and breathtaking views, offers an unforgettable stay that redefines coastal living.

What we love about this stay
The rooftop deck is the whole reason you're here—set an alarm for sunrise, bring your coffee through that beautiful 80-year-old door, and watch the Atlantic light up. Then stay put for sunset, because from the same spot you'll see the river glow amber in the opposite direction. Few places give you both horizons like that. Cook at least one meal in the kitchen; the sight lines over the marsh while you're at the stove feel almost absurd. When the afternoon heat peaks, skip the beach and settle into the spa under the oak canopy instead—it's genuinely hidden and the shade makes it feel ten degrees cooler. Book this for two, not four; the intimacy of the cottage is what makes it sing.
