You may elect to increase your incidentals fee for more coverage ($99 for $1000, $149 for $1500, $199 for $2000 and so on and so forth). *IMPORTANT: Guests must report to us any damage that has taken place during their stay before checkout, otherwise the incidental fee coverage is null and void. In this case, we reserve the right to charge the full amount of repairing or replacing the damaged items to you. Your insurance coverage amount ($500, $1000, $1500, etc) is not the max that you are responsible for. If damages exist beyond your coverage amount we will document this with photos and professional estimates of repair, and bill you for the repairs or replacements.

Lovely Place, Very clean, close to every-things such as Fantastic Restaurants, Old Town, Groceries. Dani’s communication was Outstanding. Not sure when Acorn Tree dropping its Fruits. We stayed at Christmas Week, the Tree dropping Acorns all day and night. Fallen Acorns on Metal Roof so very loud, prevent a good night sleep. As clean as it is, this Place is not for People Allergic to Cat and Dog. My husband and I had terrible Allergy. Ended up stayed out in Hotel with Animal free Room for 2 days and Nights taking a break from Allergy.

We certainly appreciated the well stocked kitchen in the charming cottage. Both my husband and our friends travel with a small dog and they did great. We did not leave the dogs alone in the home and they behaved very well. A nice neighborhood to go for a walk with them a couple of times a day. Our friends from Jacksonville visited us for dinner one night and we had plenty of room and adequate serving plates and silverware to accommodate all six of us. Only thing missing was a gravy ladle. Our only recommendation would be for better toilet paper. I did fix the ice maker in the refrigerator, and hubby did work on putting the spline back in the bottom panels of both screen doors on the porch. He reinserted the spline on the sides but the bottom spline was missing on both doors. Should we return to St. Augustine we would certainly contact you again. Thank you for a wonderful 3 day stay to celebrate hubby's birthday.

What a lovely little cottage! Dani, the property manager, very informative and helpful. The cottage was very well equipped, I can’t think of anything that was missing! The location was centrally located, about a 10 minute drive to everything! We will definitely be back!

Review Of The HouseThe house was freshly renovated, very clean and seemed to suit our needs. This was my wife's and I first time coming to St Augustine and this place seemed like the perfect place to stay. A few things I wanted to point out about the property. The Master bedroom and the master bath struggled to keep cool during the day and kept hot at night. (for context, we stay from Aug 27- Sept 1 so I get its going be warm). The Mattresses, while a excellently sized king bed, were uncomfortable and in need of a box spring. The living area was very spacious, however, the furniture specifically the couch, was horrible. While stylish in nature, it's literally springs, cloth and wood. Not at all comfortable to sit on. When we arrived, there was a patch of black mold in the sun room (Danielle, owner, corrected this within a day) but still wanted to note. However the rest of the house was excellent. Kitchen, dining area, and living space were up to snuff. If the furniture was different, i'd say its an excellent space. While there was a hot tub available for use, my wife and I never used it due to the fact that there was a massive puddle on the cover of the hot tub that had indented it, making it very hard to open due to the weight of the water. I get storms are an every day occurrence in FL, but this was a damper on the stay. In short, the house did the job of providing a place to stay, however for long term use, certain changes are needed. 7.5/10

House was clean and well kept and comfortable. The small bathroom needs a grab bar in the tub and a non slip surface as the tub becomes very slippery when wet and when using the body wash/shampoo. It’s basically a bad accident waiting to happen.

We loved the Whimsical Cottage and location! Quiet neighborhood close to historical St Augustine old town and beaches. The house is so colorful and inviting with little touches like soap dispensers at every sink and showers, including shampoo and conditioner. Plenty of coffee and creamer to start off plus extras you need to do laundry, dishes and cook. Kitchen so well stocked! King size beds in each bedroom incredibly comfortable and plenty of dresser drawers to stay all month which we did! TVs in each bedroom and living room a real plus. Yard is well maintained and porches inviting. We didn’t use the outdoor hot tub but it was cleaned regularly. So much about the cottage shouts Welcome make yourself at home!
