A dream beach vacation awaits at this quaint, modern cottage in St. Augustine, newly built in 2023. With the St. Augustine Historic District close by and the Atlantic Ocean within a short drive, you can spend your days strolling, sightseeing, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, jet skiing, and swimming to your heart's content. Tour the area and discover local attractions that include Castillo de San Marcos National Monument, Old Town Trolley Tours, St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, and the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, all within a six-mile radius.

Upon entry, you'll be met with a bright interior, lofty ceilings, and a cozy atmosphere throughout the well-appointed living area. Make yourself at home by resting on the plush furniture, streaming a movie marathon on the large TV, or serving brunch on the expansive patio. Prepare grand meals and beach picnic snacks in the open-concept kitchen, equipped with stainless steel appliances and a floating island breakfast bar. Both bedrooms are outfitted with soft beds and luxe linens to offer a wonderful night's rest from the day's adventures. A private washer/dryer is the ultimate convenience that makes this vacation house feel like a home.

Cute, Clean and Cozy

We drove down for a short trip to visit our son and his family. We were very impressed with this cottage. It was clean and inviting. The kitchen was stocked for our needs. It's close (but not too close) to things to do. It was a perfect (albeit too short) stay. We'll definitely be back.

Herring House

The inside of the house. The neighborhood, the yard, and the neighbors not good at all. If the grounds were better and in a better neighborhood it would have be perfect

Railroad noise all night

The house is clean and its stylish but you cannot sleep well because the railroad makes noises all day and night. You can even feel the tracks and the railroad siren all night long. Sadly, I will prefer not to stay tthere again.

St. Augustine Spring break

Beautiful, spacious, cottage environment with all the amenities. Comfortable beds, immaculately cleaned. Modern appliances. All you could ever ask for and then some. Would recommend this company and this location to anyone who wanted to be close to historical downtown St. Augustine without the noise normally associated with a hotel stay and save money while you are at it. Will definitely be looking for these types of properties for my next getaway.

The Blue Heron Cottage-St. Augustine, FL

When we first walked into the cottage we noticed how quaint it was. It was very refreshing to see how clean it was as well. The interior had a modern look that was clean and sleek. Even though we didn't bring our dogs, we noticed the thoughtfulness of the owner having dog beds in the cottage. It was a nice touch. All in all, my wife and I had a great stay at the Blue Heron Cottage. I would definitely recommend it. We helped my daughter get settled into her dorm at Flagler College. It was close to the college, and a lot of the historic locations. Great city.

Beautiful newer home

We loved the house. Almost brand new. Beautiful bathrooms and kitchen. Perfect for me, my husband and our 2 dogs. We were worried about the neighborhood, but it was fine. We walked every day and felt safe. There is a railroad track about a block away, but didnt bother us with noise. The place was very clean on arrival. The management company was great to work with. We did have mis-communication regarding pet fee. I thought it was taken care of, but about an hour after arrival they requested an additional 300. For our 2 dogs. I probably would have booked anyways with the extra cost, but after your checked in its hard to make any change. St Augustine was very touristy.
