Quaint Beach Cottage - Steps to Pier Park!

Beautiful 2/1 single-family home - covered patio and a (1) car garage. Recently updated as well as all new furnishings and located in the heart of St. Augustine Beach, just a few homes off the fishing pier and the beach. Fenced-in backyard / Pet Friendly. Wireless Internet!
Step into this open-concept, completely remodeled two-bedroom, one-bath, one-level home, designed with your comfort in mind. The beautiful kitchen with top-of-the-line appliances is perfect for preparing meals.

Immerse yourself in the charm of this delightful beach town, where there's something for everyone. Whether you're into surfing, swimming, paddleboarding, or simply sunbathing, the beach is your playground. And with the Pier Park just a walk away, you can enjoy the Wednesday Farmers Market, Wednesday night Music by The Sea Concert Series, Volleyball, Fishing, Boccie Ball, and a Splash Park at The Pier. Plus, there are great restaurants, shopping spots, and more within walking distance.

Just a few minutes from historic downtown Saint Augustine, there is plenty of food, shopping, and tourist sites. The Alligator Farm is also close by and boasts a new zip-lining experience. Historical ghost tours through the old city are always a favorite. Take a sightseeing cruise around the Matanzas Bay or a horse-drawn carriage tour, ride the trolley, climb the St. Augustine lighthouse, and explore the Castillo de San Marcos. There is even a Pirate cruise and a new Pirate and Treasure museum. Dine on the patio of A1A Ale overlooking the bay. Browse the many gift shops and art galleries along and around St. George Street. Check out the historical buildings, like the Oldest Wooden Schoolhouse. Rent a jet ski or a Segway. Do not forget the Fountain of Youth--take some bottled fountain water home to your "old" family and friends! The St. Augustine Outlet Mall is close. Play a round of gold at the World Golf Village. The gorgeous Cathedral Basilica of Saint Augustine was America's first parish. You can schedule a swim with the dolphins at Marineland, a few minutes south of the condo. There are many activities to keep you as busy as you want and a beautiful, relaxing place to be in between!

The home was in a great location with easy access to the beach, state park, and restaurants. It is a nice quiet neighborhood. The space was clean and had a lot of great amenities like a washer and dryer. We will definitely be back!

Loved the property! Everything was clean on arrival and entry instructions were easily understood. The location was wonderful and walking distance to many restaurants! The only complaints I have were the beach access being closed that was closest to the house and no TVs in the bedrooms. Both things weren’t big deals though. Will deff be back for another trip to St. Augustine!

Cute little cottage close to the beach & many great restaurants. Short drive in to St Augustine. My only suggestion is they could use some new outdoor furniture for the porch and lovely back patio.

This little cottage was clean and comfortable. This home could use some new living room furniture. Great location to dinning and the ocean. I had a couple of correspondences with the owner and Marty was quick to respond and answered all of my questions. Would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed our time at the beach cottage. It was conveniently located to many restaurants which were easy to walk to in the evening. As well as the beach and other shops. If you want to be able to park your car and get around definitely a great place to start.

Returning to visit friends a year after relocating north, Laughing Gull cottage was the perfect home away from home. The living room was roomy enough to host 2-3 visitors. The primary bedroom was very comfortable. The location near the beach and restaurants turned out to be extremely convenient. We are grateful to have discovered this cute cottage.

The house was a small but room enough for us.. But it was a good neighborhood and nobody bothered you. Really close to beach. Back patio was great to sit and relax. You felt alone because of privacy fence. Loved it because it was so close to beach and close to places to eat.

Very cute and clean house. Close to the beach with a paved walking path perfect for our dogs. Neighborhood very cute and clean. Only stayed a week wish it was longer. Only downfall are the beds. Both mattresses need replacing the master sags in the middle and hurt my back. We purchased a foam topper at walmart that helped otherwise it was perfect.

Nice house, clean, my only issue was that I found a cockroach on my second night staying there, even tho they said is normal in Florida. I had to clean a lot because I had my son who I could not let him crawl all the time. we end up leaving a day early.

We enjoyed 4 weeks at Laughing Gull Cottage very much. It is beautifully appointed with beach-themed wall hangings, furniture, kitchen utensils, pots and pans. Appliances (frig, stove and microwave) almost new. No dishwasher but nice sink and faucet for handwashing dishes. One of the bedrooms and the bathroom are very small but manageable. New blinds on the windows and lots of light make the cottage feel bigger than it is. The only downside was the bed and mattress in the small bedroom was uncomfortable and noisy. However, the close proximity to the beach helped to make up for it!

While this little beach house is cute and very close to the beach the beds are so miserably uncomfortable we really didn’t enjoy our stay. The TV remote didn’t work and we couldn’t adjust the volume, the kitchen is tiny, the bathroom is tiny and there’s a slight bug problem (but it is Florida). We could’ve dealt with all of that, but the beds!!! Medieval, creeky, torture devices designed to ruin your holiday! If they replace these then this place would be a great deal, but as is.....completely and utterly uncomfortable, vacation wrecking, mattresses of doom and gloom. Best avoided unless and until beds are replaced.

We came home a day early because the beds were so uncomfortable! I read the reviews for the house and noticed others had commented on the beds and I must confess I thought the reviews were someone who is high maintenance. Wow, was I wrong. Both beds are horrible! Our 14 year old son begged us to go home, a 14 year old boy… that should say something about the beds. I get some people like a firm or more soft mattress, but these beds must be very old or completely worn out! The location is great, and you can bring your dog. The kitchen is super small and does not have a dishwasher. The bathroom is also super small, but the location was important to us. If it wasn’t for the beds the home would be a nice place to stay. I messaged the property contact that we were leaving early and why…they responded “I have not received previous complaints of the beds and will take note of your email.” Odd response that multiple reviews have commented on the beds. I would not recommend this property.

Driveway was flooded on arrival with minimal rain. Dead bugs found on floor during entry. Instructions to load the dishwasher before you leave and there is not even a dishwasher in this unit. Very small. We had to leave for MANDATORY EVACUATION for Hurricane Milton and host will not refund or offer an alternate date for 4 unused nights.
