Photos and Description of the St. Augustine vacation cottage rental
3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 6 - a fully equipped renovated bungalow

Christian’s Keep is a quaint, comfortable bungalow in the historic Lincolnville District of St. Augustine. Originally built in 1930, and fully renovated in 2007 by Christian Voelkel, Christian’s Keep provides a great respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life – nothing can beat the serenity and charm of this quiet neighborhood. Just a short distance (3/4 mile) to museums, shops, and restaurants on Saint George Street, our bungalow is convenient yet out-of-the-way enough to offer all the peace and quiet you need in a vacation getaway.

The practical three bedroom, 2 bath floor plan accommodates up to six overnight guests. The spacious living area, kitchen, and dining area provide a comfy 'home base' for you during your visit to St. Augustine – our nation’s oldest city.

Bedrooms: The practical 3 bedroom, 2 bath floor plan accommodates up to six overnight guests. The spacious living area, kitchen, and dining area provide a comfy 'home base' for you during your visit to St. Augustine – our nation’s oldest city.

The master suite is well equipped with a queen bed, a cozy reading area with a rocking chair and antique table, an inviting bathroom just through the double French doors, and a large tiled shower. The bedroom opens onto the back deck.

An antique double bed with a comfortable pillow-top mattress is the centerpiece of the guest bedroom. This room also has a large chest of drawers, bedside tables, and reading lamps.

The third 'bedroom' contains a futon which opens into a queen bed. This room can double as a separate 'playroom' for children.

Kitchen & Living Areas: The modern kitchen is fully equipped, providing you the opportunity to cook meals on-site, rather than having to spend lots of money going out for all of your meals. A large Charmglow gas grill is located on the back deck for grilling your favorite steak, fish, or whatever the chef has in mind.

The dining area seats four and the table can be pulled out to comfortably seat 6. Extra chairs are available in the antique drop-leaf game table in the large entry hallway.

Christian’s Keep also has a full sized washer and dryer located in the laundry area – we provide all of the comforts of home! Why settle for just a hotel or a 'bed and breakfast inn'?

Come Immerse yourself in southern charm in your own historic cottage on Twine Street.

Great Experience!

We have been to St. Augustine many times but this was the first time not staying on the the beach. And we loved it! The house is exactly as described and very clean. Our favorite part of the trip was riding the bicycles that came with the house. You could be at Flagler College within 5 minutes. We look forward to coming back in the future!

My husband and I took my parents on this vacation to St. Augustine. Christians keep was so accomodating and welcoming. We truly enjoyed our stay. The old city, shopping, restaurants, golf and beach are all very easy to get to. It was home away from home!

Last Christmas was my mother's first Christmas without my father, and we stayed at Christian's Keep with our 2 dogs for a week over the holiday. The owners made our stay extra special with a decorated tree, a lighted porch, and a wonderful basket of goodies. The cottage was comfortable and enjoyable. There were so many things to do in close proximity to the cottage, and we enjoyed them all. It was a great place to fully enjoy the holiday season, and could easily become a new tradition.

Great Family Time, Charming Home.

Our stay at Christian's Keep was a wonderful experience. Right from the moment I contacted the owner, I felt I was making the right choice. The owners were very nice and welcoming. I wanted a place where my family could spend time together, and share the beauty of St. Augustine. We were all pleasantly surprised when we drove up and saw the charm of the cottage. When we stepped in, we all smiled as we walked around and saw the warm details of the decor. The cottage was clean, cool and stocked with all you need to feel at home. The welcome basket with sweet treats, made us feel welcomed. The area is quiet and close to the center of town. We went bike riding, bikes available with the rental, and took walks in the early morning. I would recommend Christian's Keep to anyone who enjoys the comforts of home with the charm of a historic location.

This has got to be the best kept secret in vacation rentals. The price is right, the location is great, and the house is absolutely perfect. Everything worked well, it was very clean, and after reading the book about the history of the house you could almost feel a part of the neighborhood. Nothing St. Augustine "Spooky" about this house. We are already planning a return trip!
