The eclectic style and vibrant colors made my young kids feel right at home, and the wide variety of games kept everyone entertained. The upscale appliances and amenities were a hit with the adults and much appreciated. Being just a few blocks from Downtown was convenient, though you might still need to drive to reach King Street.

From the Mackenzie-Childs furnishings to all the conveniences of home - and then some - we had a lovely week at 6 Loring Street in St. Augustine!! My son and his darling girlfriend joined us for the long weekend. Separating two "master" bedrooms with nearby bathrooms was perfect for two adult couples. If we forgot any travel items, they were graciously provided. The backyard is enticing...and the home is lovely, conveniently located, and beautifully decorated in a modern artistic style. I aspire to be a "rich hippie," having retired a year ago - for me - this was fabulous. All that was missing was my darling, Mick Jagger!! Highly recommended for an enjoyable, artistic change of pace and doting hosts!! ##### Lisa S. Stayed 8 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brooke D. Mar 19, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfection! I just can’t say enough how perfect this home was for our first trip to St. Augustine. Perhaps if you’ve been there before, you may prefer to stay on the waterfront or elsewhere. However, for first timers, I cannot recommend a property more! For starters, the decor sparks pure joy! It’s everything you want in a beachy escape. For our little family (mom, dad, grandmother, 6-yo) it was beyond spacious with every amenity you can think of and a backyard fire pit oasis for post-long days out and about. Access to the pool and beach club was amazing. Yes, it’s a drive, but super easy and well worth it (kids pool was a hit, food was excellent, and beach access was so enjoyed). Overall, though, this home was just so perfectly situated. We could walk in town (as we did many days) for things like the pirate museum, wonderful restaurants, and the fort. And we could walk to the fountain of youth (and a great brunch spot - the RainTree Cafe) for a more low-key Sunday. It was an easy drive to the alligator farm and the pool/beach. Really just a treasure of a spot for any first-timer to st. Augustine. P.S. the hosts were lovely to communicate with! ##### Brooke D. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn K.

From the eclectic beachy artwork to the thoughtful extras tucked into every corner, it was clear the hosts poured love and care into every detail. We were welcomed with a bottle of San Sebastian wine, stamped postcards ready to send, and every amenity you could imagine—from beach towels and comfy beds to razors, deodorant, and even a sewing kit tucked into a decorative box in the bathroom.

The location was perfectly located close to all of the attractions but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to enjoy a quiet, relaxing stay. We can’t wait to stay here again next time we visit St. Augustine. ![The beach at sundown](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c757cd17-02ff-40e2-974a-ecba26cf3d17-1749242311978.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![The beach at sundown](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/7400444c-e25b-4ec9-8abf-fb2430362caa-1749242311248.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Lighthouse at sundown](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/76336b34-d404-4629-8709-b879ee716fcc-1749242311838.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Friendly Peacock at The Fountain of Youth](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9463ef9f-7473-4cd3-b276-5c76179283b3-1749242309805.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Robert B.

Everything was there that you needed. Easy walking distance to historic St Augustine. Very clean and things were labled for easy use. The hosts were very gracious. ##### Lisa B.

It was spacious and comfortable. The owners were extremely responsive to a couple of questions we had for them. They really thought of everything. Even supplies of often forgotten items were provided in the bathroom like toothpaste etc. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. Its just a short walk to the fort and St. George Street. We would definitely want to stay again. ##### Stephen H. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas F.

Wendy and David were marvelous hosts. The home was very clean and had more supplies and amenities than we could have anticipated. The decor was fun, charming and eclectic. The communication with our hosts was great. The home was a 10 to15 minute walk to historical St. Augustine. There was excellent on-site parking. We would highly recommend the Artisan Cottage to anyone visiting St. Augustine! ##### Thomas F.

We had a wonderful time staying at this property. Amazing location (St. George St. is only about 8-10 min walk!) and a beautiful home with all you could need. They provide all the essentials so you don't need to go out and buy little things you may have forgotten, including spices, foil, toothpaste, etc. My kids (9 and 12) loved playing cornhole outside and sitting by the firepit listening to music in the evening! We had an issue with the microwave where it ended up dying on our 3rd night. The owners responded SUPER quick and sent out a countertop one for us to use (within 1-2 hours!) until they could replace the over the stove one. Their response time is great and they're super easy to work with. I wish they owned properties in more locations :) lolWould 100% stay here again and recommend to anyone looking for a nice, quiet, but CLOSE property to downtown. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Mondrian South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Mondrian-South-Beach.h2190271.Hotel-Information) > > [W South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-W-South-Beach.h11881.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Resort Orlando at WALT DISNEY WORLD® Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Resort-Orlando-At-WALT-DISNEY-WORLD-Resort.h7374428.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Hard Rock Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Hard-Rock-Hotel.h485506.Hotel-Information) > > [Reunion Resort & Golf Club](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Reunion-Resort-Golf-Club.h992499.Hotel-Information) > > [Embassy Suites by Hilton Fort Lauderdale 17th Street](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Embassy-Suites-Ft-Lauderdale17th-Street.h11909.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Dockside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Dockside-Inn-Suites.h33770341.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando at Flamingo Crossings](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Orlando-Flamingo-Crossings.h58072517.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Endless Summer Resort - Surfside Inn and Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Endless-Summer-Resort-Surfside-Inn-And-Suites.h27522522.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-At-The-Entrance-To-Universal-Orlando.h5398.Hotel-Information) > > [B Ocean Resort Fort Lauderdale Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-B-Ocean-Resort.h5404.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal’s Loews Royal Pacific Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Loews-Royal-Pacific-Resort.h856706.Hotel-Information) > > [Universal's Cabana Bay Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Universals-Cabana-Bay-Beach-Resort.h5963292.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach House Fort Lauderdale, a Hilton Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Hilton-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h28591.Hotel-Information) > > [The Tides on Hollywood](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Tides-On-Hollywood.h44524455.Hotel-Information) > > [Loews Miami Beach Hotel – South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Loews-Miami-Beach-Hotel-South-Beach.h81223.Hotel-Information) > > [Fontainebleau Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Fontainebleau-Miami-Beach.h1190549.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Riu Plaza Miami Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Hotel-Riu-Plaza-Miami-Beach.h74574.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Points by Sheraton Orlando International Drive](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Four-Points-By-Sheraton-Orlando-International-Drive.h4262.Hotel-Information) > > [1 Hotel South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-1-Hotel-South-Beach.h1790087.Hotel-Information) > > [Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Margaritaville-Hollywood-Beach-Resort.h10005147.Hotel-Information) > > [Diplomat Beach Resort Hollywood, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Diplomat-Beach-Resort-Hollywood.h857779.Hotel-Information) > > [Moxy Miami South Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Miami-Hotels-Moxy-Miami-South-Beach.h55553829.Hotel-Information) > > [Walt Disney World Dolphin](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Walt-Disney-World-Dolphin.h12710.Hotel-Information) > > [The Westin Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-The-Westin-Fort-Lauderdale-Beach-Resort.h17159.Hotel-Information) > > [W Fort Lauderdale](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-W-Fort-Lauderdale.h2335216.Hotel-Information) > > [Fort Lauderdale Marriott Harbor Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Fort-Lauderdale-Marriott-Harbor-Beach-Resort-Spa.h21880.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake Resort by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Club-Vacations-At-Orange-Lake-Resort.h6315.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahama Bay Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Bahama-Bay-Resort.h1056615.Hotel-Information)
