About this property

Romantic Getaway Dntwn! Stroll to Night of Lights!

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 summer vacation. We have hosted numerous groups visiting St. Augustine for special occasions like family reunions, weddings, bridal showers, or visiting loved ones at Flagler College.

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.

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 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 one quaint bedroom and a queen size bed, a living space connected to the kitchen with full size appliances and a full bathroom, this apartment is the perfect size for a couple traveling together. St Augustine is the perfect romantic town to get away to celebrate an anniversary or honeymoon!

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 a reserved space just for you 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!
There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a Smart television is provided for your entertainment. The bathroom has a shower and a hair dryer.
