About this house rental
Come stay in one of Davis Shores’ original ranch style homes that is close to everything! Built in 1952, Cottage Avista has many of the original charms of yesterday still intact and is located on the only circle in North Davis Shores. A very small community with minimal traffic and extra privacy! You will enjoy the sights, sounds, and island breezes as you are so close to the bayfront and downtown!
This is the perfect sized home for a family vacation with a large remodeled, well appointed kitchen and two bedrooms (the master with a comfy king size bed and the second bedroom is queen sized). There is also a queen size sleeper sofa in the den.
Walk or bike over the bridge of Lions to explore the town. We have several bikes for our guests, however if staying in, enjoy a setting sun on the wrap around front porch. For home entertainment there is a 55” HD TV and strong Wi-Fi throughout the property. Kids can utilize the den, shut the pocket doors and enjoy their own HD TV as well. We allow our guests to use the new washer and dryer located inside the detached garage.
Whether going for walks downtown, planning a day at the beach, or just relaxing in St. Augustine the traditional way, Cottage Avista will have something for you! We look forward to hosting your stay.!

Great location. Close to downtown district as well as the beach. Host (Steve) was great to work with. Home had updated appliances and very comfortable bed.

He seemed very welcoming - taking the time to tell us about good places to eat and things to do. Prior to that, we didn't know anything about the Festival of Lights. We enjoyed his recommendation to visit the Fort and the Basilica.The house was very comfortable and well equipped. The backyard was very private and it was great to relax with our dog. She loved being able to run around the well maintained lawn. The house had one of the best kitchens!

The house was cute & had everything we needed for our stay. The backyard was very nice especially since we have a dog. We enjoyed playing darts in the garage. It was just a advertised. FYI - Bring your own drinking water (this isn't just for the house...restaurants too!) We would stay here again. Just as we were leaving a huge bald eagle landed in the big tree in the backyard!
