The Ocean Gallery Condominium Resort is “the best address on the beach”, unmatched in size, beauty and amenities by any other complex in this area. Located on beautiful and quiet Anastasia Island, it resides on forty-two acres of beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens. Buildings and grounds are meticulously maintained. Half the units are unrented private homes, many with decorative gardens planted and maintained by the proud residents. Two beautiful boardwalks with attached gazebos offer access from the resort directly across the dunes - lined with sea oats and wildflowers - to a quarter-mile of white sand ocean beach. With 24-hour guarded entry, your security and privacy are assured.

Your vacation home at The Ocean Gallery is fully furnished. Extensive recent renovations include new furniture, appliances and lighting, serene “coastal” decor. Adjoining the large living room with cathedral ceiling, the screened patio overlooks a lagoon, with fountain and tropical water garden. The master bedroom suite, with queen-size bed, includes a vanity and dressing area, plus adjoining full bathroom. The second bedroom in the loft has two twin beds plus private bathroom. Ample closet space, upstairs and down. Cable tvs, wireless internet and stereo are included.

The clubhouse is just steps away, where you will find a 100-foot heated indoor-outdoor pool, available year-round; also a large jacuzzi, 2 saunas, gym, table tennis, restrooms and showers. Surrounding the pool are chaises for sun bathing, plus tables and chairs. A second pool is available in warm weather. Across from the clubhouse are four lighted tennis courts, two lighted racquetball courts, plus shuffleboard, and basketball. Child friendly: children love the pools and the beach, and there is also an onsite playground. Just want to relax? From your rocker on the patio, enjoy the view of the tropical water garden and listen to the fountain. Stroll around the grounds in the evening, or out to the beach. Watch for whales from the gazebos or the beach. Other wildlife is visible too, in the dunes as you cross the boardwalk to the beach, plus many species of birds, including a beautiful white egret that visits the water garden. There are excellent restaurants nearby, plus take-out and delivery services.

Golfers have discounted access to many nearby courses. Parasailing, jet skiing, deep sea fishing, boating, ecotours and bicycle rentals are also readily available nearby. Colorful farmers and crafts markets are held weekly, one with free entertainment from local musicians. Concerts and other cultural events occur regularly at venues in St. Augustine and other nearby cities. To discover St. Augustine’s Maritime Past, visit the Lighthouse and Museum; climb 219 steps to the top of the tower for a breathtaking panoramic view of the area. Directly across from the Lighthouse is located St. Augustine Alligator Farm - Zoological Park. See hundreds of rare and exotic birds, mammals, reptiles and 23 species of crocodilians. Across the Bridge of Lions is “oldest city” St. Augustine. Tour historic homes, the iconic Castillo de San Marcos, and the grand, gilded-age hotels and churches of Henry Flagler. Next to the cathedral is St. George street, lined with restaurants and other popular attractions. Nearby are art galleries, boutiques, night clubs, and much more. Highway 1, at the edge of town, is lined with shopping centers that include every major retailer, plus many other stores and restaurants.

  • We really enjoyed our stay at your condo. It was everything you told us it would be, and made for a really comfortable stay. Ocean Gallery is a lovely complex and very well maintained. We got lots of use out of the main pool and hot tub. I will recommend it to anyone I know who is thinking of visiting St.Augustine. We went down for a wedding at the Basilica downtown, with a reception at the OC White restaurant, which was really nice overlooking the river. We did a bit of beach stuff and I fished at Matanza Inlet and caught enough for supper on a couple of occasions. Other than that we did the tourist things in the Old Town and had an afternoon at Daytona Beach. Hope to visit again in the near future.

  • We would like to thank you for a really great time in your beach condo, it was a pity that we could only stay the five days. When we arrived late in the day, it was such a pleasure to find a lovely spacious apartment, very clean and beautifully furnished, we really felt like guests and not just renters. The Ocean Gallery was really easy to find, your directions were precise and the keys were waiting at the gate as arranged. We loved everything, the early morning walks on the beach and for the first few mornings watching the sun come up, lovely beaches (my favorite), playing in the sea had lots of fun with my daughter boarding (who says you can’t teach an old dog new tricks?). Visited St Augustine a few times, walking through the old streets was enchanting, a touch of the old world, quaint old buildings and friendly people. Day trip to Daytona: everything for teenagers, the heavy rain didn’t spoil the day, driving the coast is a pleasure in itself, always something new to look at. Did I forget to mention the spotlessly clean pool with the great spa? - very spoilt we were, often the only ones in. Spoilt also for choice when it comes to eating out, went to Oasis just down the road - great food good prices lots of TV’s!!! This was a great place to stay, just what we needed, a few days to chill out. Will put this in our book for must do again.

  • We very much enjoyed our stay at your condo. Amenities were great and it was a very relaxing time. My daughters and I spent most of our time at the beach and pool. The kids brought a laptop computer, so free internet access was much appreciated. My mom can't tolerate as much sun, but was quite content resting and watching TV. She brought some magazines to read, but I noticed you had a nice collection of books available as well. Any supplies we forgot to bring were readily available at the nearby Publix and Winn Dixie.

  • Thanks so much for allowing us to rent your condo. Our vacation was great! The kids mainly stayed at the pool and ocean. They also enjoyed the Lanai with its view of the lagoon. It was great having TVs in the rooms too. I truly appreciated the fact that you had blankets too! They were great for wrapping up and watching movies after a day in the water. You have a lovely condo and we did really enjoy our time there. Again, I thank you for renting it to us last week.

  • The whole family loved the condo, The kids immediately ran upstairs and the 5 year old yelled, "I'm In Heaven".. We laughed. It was the nicest condo we have ever rented, and we have told quite a few people about it. We both loved it all. Thanks for letting us rent your condo, and we hope that we can do it again next year, or maybe even for our Anniversary. Thank you so much, it meant a lot that you called us on Monday too.

  • The property is kept in really great shape and your unit was very nice. It was a perfect layout and with all the amenities included, which made it easier to pack for the long journey - the less that we had to bring with us! We loved the balcony overlooking the pond and spent many mornings starting the day with a cup of coffee and enjoying the view. We also truly appreciated your book collection, especially when the weather limited outside activity; we hadn't brought our own material, so it was invaluable! The children also found things to do, and particularly enjoyed the nearby clubhouse, with its swimming pool, hot tub, and other amusements. Owner and staff were very accomodating, and the neighbors were friendly. Some concerns: internet access was spotty, and we would also like to be able to do more outdoor cooking. With improvements promised in these areas (and the weather!), we look forward to returning in future.

  • My friends and I had a wonderful time in St. Augustine. The condo was great, as was the entire complex. We really enjoyed it and I am hoping in the future that I can book a trip for my family.
