Enjoy great proximity to all that St. Augustine has to offer while staying in this charming 1900's Water Street Cottage! Located 20 feet to the Matanzas River and within walking distance of the fort and all the downtown attractions, this home is cheerfully bright, and thoughtfully decorated. The Little Yellow Cottage has a relaxing layout with one king bedroom, 1 bedroom with a twin day bed, full kitchen, cheerful dining, cozy living space, large front porch, and fenced courtyard in the back. You will be enamored by the historic detail in the master bathroom and throughout the entire home! Every detail has been thought of! Enjoy the restored original hardwood floors, clean and cozy furniture, and retro/historic details. Cook "at home" in the fully stocked kitchen, and rest well with crisp white linens and soft bath towels which are provided for you. A morning cup of coffee in the private courtyard will taste great just before heading out to explore. Enjoy a glass of wine on the front porch in the evenings after taking a walk in this beautiful neighborhood or along the waterfront.

The convenience of the Little Yellow Cottage can't be beat! It is a 7-8 minute walk straight down Water Street to the Fort, the Visitor's Center and St. George Street, and all of the downtown area. Hop in your car or on your bike and Vilano Beach or Anastasia Island State Park is just a short 3 mile ride away along with the Ampitheatre, Alligator Farm, and St. Augustine Lighthouse. There an ecclectic mix of fun, antique shops, local great eateries and bars including Harry's Seafood Bar and Grille and St. Augustine Distillery.

Breathe in the warm, salty air as you enjoy a romantic walk along the waterfront as the sun sets, casting its final rays on the sparkling water, the drifting boats, and the picturesque Bridge of Lions. But don’t forget to make good use of the night by experiencing the Ghost train or Haunted House tour. Enjoy the endless variety of restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, art galleries and book stores just steps from your front door!

We absolutely adored our time at the yellow house. It was in a perfect location. Close to everything, walking distance to most. We felt so at home that we gave outcandy on Halloween. It was lovely. Clean, cared for, and the hosts were responsive.

Great little getaway
Our family spent 3 nights here while exploring St. Augustine. Location was amazing! 5 min walk to Castillo de San Marcos. 10 min walk to St George street. Oh, there’s an Old Town Trolly Tour stop 5 min walk away where you can ride around the historic downtown to get a feel for what’s around while getting a guided tour. Easy parking for 2 cars right in front of the house. Neighborhood is super quiet at night so you can sleep peacefully and wake up at your leisure. A great stay!

Sweet Location
This little cottage is in a perfect place in uptown. Close to everything within walking distance. Cottage is a bit tired and could use some simple updates and attention to detail by maintenance and housekeeping. Lovely outdoor area generally ignored by housekeepers. Bring some extra dishwasher soap, paper towels, and laundry soap as there are only enough for a very short stay.

Historic Lovely Yellow cottage
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Yellow Cottage on Waters! It is evident that the owners have put a lot of work into this historic home to bring it up to date with all the amenities you could ask for. The a/c worked very well, the main bath was very spacious, very nice kitchen with all new appliances working well. Full dining room and cozy living room decorated tastefully. The second bedroom was spacious and nicely decorated as well. The master bedroom had one of the most comfortable mattresses ever! We will definitely stay in this home on future visits!

We stayed here while we prepared to drop our son off at Flagler College. The location was a quick drive to his dorm and an easy walk to the Fort and Downtown area. It had a pleasant front porch for relaxing and all we needed to get through our weekend.

Family of 4 with 2 kids, 5 and 10. Shops and restaurants 10-15 min walk. The walk is mostly thru the nice neighborhood. We love to walk. Save on parking and get your steps in. You can walk to castillo San Marco! The house is old and we loved it. It has charm. It has more than what we needed. Laundry room is awesome but I didn’t do laundry on this trip. Everything was clean. Enough towels and cooking supplies. Trundle bed great for 2 kids. TV is smart so you can sign in to your streaming services. Here’s the best part…they give you deals for several attractions via Xplorie. After you book, you can call Xplorie people and book your attractions or just get your free one. The trolley has discounts too so don’t buy other attraction tickets so ahead of time. The house has games and my boys enjoyed chess and checkers nightly. Finally, the hosts are lovely and have excellent communication via app. We arrived 15 mins early and they confirmed the house was ready for us. I would book this house again!
