The house was just the right size for two friends, traveling together. This cottage was part of collection of homes in the historically African American residential community. Throughout the city of St. Augustine, the multi-cultural history is such a wonderful experience.
The cottage is located on a walkable location, but certainly some guests may need a car. Close to the Fountain of Youth and the Ridley’s Believe it or Not location.
The cottage has two bathrooms, one that had a smallish shower, the other had a large walk in shower, off the main/ king size bedroom. The smaller bathroom had a slight problem with the flush mechanism. Text to the VaCasa service line resulted in multiple texts back and forth. I was able to fix the flush mechanism good enough to get through rest of our stay, but the local manager did not reach out to us.
The kitchen was nice, with granite counter tops. The microwave above the stove did not work. There was a small counter top one, which worked for our needs. We ate out @ each meal, but the cottage would benefit from a larger working microwave.
The back courtyard looks very nice, but we didn’t use any of the amenities. There was a TV and nice looking grill and outdoor bar with bar top chairs.
The other component of this rental is there is another rental above the main bedroom. It is slightly confusing for renters who are upstairs and through the back gate. On two occasions, renters for the upstairs apartment tried our front door.
