Sunburst Cottage Beachside

Come and enjoy our beautiful beach side vacation rental. Built in 1955 this Old Florida style home beautifully appointed and newly remodeled is fully furnished. The house is East of A1A Beach Blvd so there are no roads to cross. ( not Oceanfront but less than 50 yards form the beach.)

The many features include brand new appliances in the full kitchen, washer dryer, two large bedrooms, fireplace,central air and heat, a living room with two comfortable couches as well as a front porch which has a day bed and converts to two twin beds.

There are 1 1/2 baths as well as an outside hot and cold shower. The outdoor deck has a built in Hot Tub. It is on a section of Saint Augustine Beach that does not allow driving on the Beach so it is less crowded and more private. We do allow dogs and St Augustine Beach Beach is very dog friendly.

It is a short walk to the fishing pier and 14 cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. Downtown Saint Augustine is a short ten minute drive.

Everyone loves our house. It is close to the Beach and everything Saint Augustine has to offer.

Spring getaway!

We were happy to spend time at the beach and it was the perfect location, close to several bars, restaurants and beach. My only suggestion would be to purchase beach towels, there were none. If people were flying in they would be hard pressed. And I would upgrade some of the kitchen utensils otherwise we had a great time!

Another Great Stay

This is our 4th time staying at Sunburst Cottage. It’s quiet and comfortable. Home has everything you need and then some. Very short walk to the beach and places to eat. Michael is great to communicate with and so nice. I definitely recommend staying at Sunburst Cottage.

The Sunburst Cottage was excellent. The close location to the beach was perfect for me and my wife and our dog. You will find everything you need at the Sunburst. Michael is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to staying here on our next trip to St. Augustine.

Lovely property. Private, quiet, spacious and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything you need, down to bikes, games, books etc. Steps to the beach without having to cross any roads. Large walled patio with sun and shade. Ample parking. We had a great time here.

A genuine home away from home

We've stayed here twice now and its a wonderful home. Just a few houses away from the beach and abouy 10min drive from downtown st augustine. This house gives you a glimpse into what it would be like to live at the beach. 10/10 recommended

Sunburst

This is an old school beach bungalow. Steps from the beach. Very well decorated. Some modern renovations- but overall still that small beach cottage feel. We absolutely fell in love with it. It was perfect for our family of 4 with dogs. We love the area and have established our go-to spots when not at the beach. Owners were very nice in our limited communications. Great cottage!

Great Location but ...

Sunburst cottage is centrally located but the week we were there they were replenishing the beach. The fishing pier didn't reach the ocean and we had to walk down the outside of the beach to get to the ocean. Other then that it was a great stay.

Did not disappoint.

This was our second time staying at Sunburst Cottage and we absolutely enjoy the location to the beach and the ability to walk to several restaurants, ice-cream shops and the farmers market on the pier. The enclosed back deck with the hot tub is nice for relaxing in the morning or evening and being able to let our pup run around and play. This trip we met some very nice locals that let our dog play with theirs on the beach. We are hoping to return in the future.

Perfect little home

We love coming to St Augustine as often as we can and have stayed at several places, this home was great. We were able to bring our dog, who loves to go on vacation. We were within walking distance of several restaurants and close enough to the pier to walk to for the market on Wednesday. Michael was easy to reach and a pleasure to work with. Thank you for the use of your property.

Another wonderful vacation

Just finished my fourth stay at the Sunburst Cottage! My whole family (even our dog) loves the place. The owners are great and the house has everything you need. It is so close to the beach, great restaurants and we love the farmers market on Wednesdays. Being from the west coast, we really enjoy visiting the Atlantic. We started renting the house because my daughter attends Flagler College and this way we could all vacation together. Even though she graduates next year, I am confident we will continue to rent every year! Thanks, Michael, for another wonderful vacation!

Beautiful, as advertised

Sunburst Cottage has a great location (about 300 feet or so to the beach), and was just as the photos depicted. It was equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay and provides a lot of privacy despite being so close to the beach and a number of restaurants. Renting was performed very professionally with a minimum of paperwork, and the property was clean with everything in working order. This really was a great place for a week and I expect to return - maybe next July. If you are there in the Summer, don't miss the Wednesday evening concert and inexpensive/great dinner provided at the pavilion just a few blocks north - nice vibe. If you like soft sand, beautiful sunrises, quiet, and comfort, then this is the place. Just don't tell everybody.
