Unbeatable Location! Park+Walk to Historic Dntwn

Welcome to Casa Saragossa, a Historic 1918 Bungalow that has been lovingly updated and restored, right in the heart of downtown! This charming abode welcomes families and even furry friends, making it the perfect destination for your spring break vacation. We have hosted numerous groups visiting St. Augustine for special occasions like family reunions, weddings, bridal showers, or students at Flagler College.

If you need more space book our additional 1 bedroom apartment above the detached garage. Ask us how!

We accept up to two (2) small pets! There is a one time pet cleaning fee of $50 that is requested by our cleaners

The location couldn't be more ideal! Just a short, delightful .5 mile stroll takes you to historic St. Augustine, where cobblestone streets lead you to charming shops, delightful restaurants, and unique ice cream parlors. No more parking headaches, as you can now explore the city at your own pace.

Our bungalow, built in 1918, offers the perfect blend of old-world charm with Heart of Pine Floors and a fresh, contemporary look thanks to recent remodeling. With four dedicated parking spots, convenience is at your doorstep.

When you're not exploring downtown, you can head to our favorite beach, St. Augustine Beach, only 5 miles away. There's plenty of parking, public restrooms, and a plethora of amazing restaurants. Wednesdays boast a fantastic Farmer's Market, and in the summer, you can enjoy free Wednesday night outdoor concerts. The beach itself is perfect for sandcastle building and surfing, and we provide boogie boards, beach chairs, and towels. If you prefer, hop on our free bikes and cruise downtown in no time, including a special two-person bike for a unique experience.

While the beach is a treat, downtown St. Augustine offers an enchanting world of its own. Picture yourself strolling the charming streets at night, with twinkling lights and the melodious sounds of music filling the air. There's a wealth of great restaurants, fascinating history, and friendly people—all within walking distance from your doorstep. If you need suggestions, just ask for our list of recommended things to do and restaurants. The most difficult part of your trip is making the decision of where to enjoy your meals because of the plethora of options.

The Casa Saragossa bungalow is ideally located near the heart of the Historic District, just a few blocks from St. George Street's walking district. You'll be surrounded by other beautiful historic homes and quaint, tree-covered streets. The famous Castillo de San Marcos, historic churches, museums, and a treasure trove of restaurants, shops, bars, galleries, and antique shops are just a short walk away. Park your car and forget about it—you won't need it while exploring the wonders of St. Augustine.

Inside the Casa Saragossa, you'll find a beautifully refurbished vintage home with a mix of heritage and modern conveniences. You'll enjoy classic and crisp linens, soft towels, and a fully stocked kitchen to prepare delicious meals at home. Gather on the back porch for evening cookouts or watch a movie on the large screen TV in the family room. Wake up to the scent of fresh coffee as you admire the peaceful neighborhood from the front room.

With four bedrooms accommodating up to nine guests, including a king bedroom with an adjoining bathroom and shower, a queen bedroom connected to a full bath, and two single twin bedrooms, there's plenty of space for everyone.

The amenities at Casa Saragossa are designed to enhance your stay. Relax in the sunroom at the front of the house, enjoy outdoor dining on the porch at the rear, or bask in the sun on the open patio. Stay connected with WiFi, and make use of the washer and dryer during your stay.

As for proximity, the highlights of St. Augustine are all within walking distance. You can explore the charming downtown attractions, restaurants, trolley rides, wax museums, pirate ships, mini-golf, history, and endless fun at every corner. And if you feel like venturing out, Vilano Beach is just 2.6 miles away, and St. Augustine Beach is a mere 5.5 miles away.

St. Augustine is a city steeped in history, and you can explore its rich heritage by taking the Old City Trolley Tour or visiting the iconic Castillo San Marcos. Stroll down St. George Street, filled with local flair shops and restaurants, and you might even encounter pirates or Spanish conquistadors in period attire. As the day draws to a close, take a romantic walk along the waterfront, where the sunsets cast a magical glow over the picturesque Bridge of Lions.

When you choose Casa Saragossa, you'll have the entire home at your disposal. There's a small 1-bedroom apartment in the back, occupied by a long-term renter, but her space is separate, ensuring your privacy.

So, come and immerse yourself in this historical neighborhood adorned with renovated and restored houses. The quiet, shaded street is just a short walk away (only 982 steps, less than half a mile) from the vibrant historic district.

Parking is a breeze with 4 available spots in the driveway. Once you arrive at Casa Saragossa, you won't need to use your car again, as you can explore all of downtown by foot. However, you'll need a car to reach this fantastic destination, and from there, the magic of St. Augustine awaits you!

Not great
So, I’m actually amazed at these reviews after staying here myself. I can safely say this is one of the worst VRBO’s I’ve stayed in my whole life. Let’s start with the positives: good location and good parking. Upon arriving at 4:50pm (check in is 4pm), the cleaners were still in the house finishing the cleaning. The house was obviously cleaned, although my daughter did find a tampon under the bed. And the garbage situation outside was not great.Here were all of the things not working/not functioning while we were there:Kitchen window opened but then would not close.Master bath outlets don’t work and one light bulb is out.One of the luggage racks was really wobbly Never could get the fan or outlets to work in the front bedroom at all.Master sink and back bedroom/bath sink drains very slowly.One of the plastic pitchers we tried to use leaked in the fridge so we cleaned that up.Could never change the shower head options in the master.I didn’t sleep in the twin room, but my college-age daughter says it’s worse than her dorm twin bed so that can’t be good.Garbage was overflowing the whole time we were here out front of the house along the street. Then it didn't get picked up and the garbage folks moved all of the overflowing bins to the very front of the house. Very smelly and gross.Dishwasher isn’t secured in the kitchen (falls forward)I spoke to the owner to make him aware of things, but he didn't do anything about any of the issues while we were there.

Our stay included two couples and my 90 year old mother in law, the house was great. The location was perfect, we rented a golf cart and was able to see all the lights perfectly. We had everything we could possibly need and enjoyed our stay tremendously. Tim was very quick to respond to any issues that arose and our stay was seamless.

Christmas JOY
Perfect location. Great parking. Walking distance to all attractions and restaurants. Saragossa Street is part of the leg lamp district (Christmas Story reference) with its many twinkling lights, leg lamps and decorations during holiday season. The cottage is charming; fresh and vibrant colors throughout. It was perfect for our family of five with plenty of room to spread out, while also promoting togetherness with numerous areas to dine, play games, etc. We were able to bring our dogs, which is a great accommodation. St. Augustine is a very dog friendly town, so it made our stay complete.

Very Nice Place To Stay
This is a very nice place to stay while visiting St. Augustine. All the amenities you need are available including coffee for the morning! We stayed during the Christmas Night of Lights with another couple and found this to be a nice quiet neighborhood but still within walking distance of restaurants, shopping and the historical district. The check-in and check-out were very easy and our host was very responsive to all of our messages. We would definitely stay again.

Our stay was absolutely amazing. This was an absolute hidden gem as soon as you arrive you do not need your vehicle anymore. Everything is walking distance. There is plenty to do. The house was immaculate. Our family of 10 was there to celebrate to my birthday and or close friends 10 year anniversary We did rent the available apartment as well and it was perfect. You can not go wrong with this gem!

Great location for walking around historical sites.
Picked this Vrbo due to the location. We were able to easily walk (10 mins) to most all the places we wanted to go and not have to drive. The number of bedrooms and bathrooms worked out great for our group. The home is older and there is some visible areas that need some maintenance and some additional cleaning. Overall, for a few days of a trip, it worked for our family with adult children. Probably would not rent if I had younger kids who would be on the floor a lot.

Park your car and walk
Great vacation home! We spent the week with 6 adults, 1 teen and 1 dog. Parked the car and did not use it other than going to the grocery store and the beach. It was so nice to be able to walk to shops, museums and restaurants. There is so much to see and do that we easily filled a week and never ate in the same spot twice. The home was very comfortable and we had everything we needed. The bikes were great and we enjoyed taking the 4 person bike for a spin around town. Close enough to everything you need but far enough from downtown to enjoy the peace and quiet. Would love to return for another stay.
