Come! See for yourself: what a large, wide, gorgeous, pristine beach we have!
Location: St. Augustine Beach & Tennis Club, St. Augustine Beach, Florida North East, Florida, USA (Jacksonville Airport 45 mins; Daytona 45 mins; Disney 2 hrs)
Accommodations: Oceanfront Condominium, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths (Sleeps 4-6)
"Good Morning America"(on ABC News)stated in July 2008 that Saint Augustine is the the Nation's Oldest City and the place to go where people "feel as though they jetted across the Atlantic without breaking the bank."
Then again, US News and World Report (June, 2009)listed St. Augustine among the 'top 10 places in the country to live, work or retire'. Among the reasons given: Lots of fun things to do. Colonial charm. World class golfing. The Atlantic ocean -- and my unit is right on it, not a block away! Friendly place. Hometown feel. And other reasons too.
But don't just read about it. Come visit! Stay in an ocean condo unit.
CHECK OUT THE USER "COMMENTS" TOO(JUST ABOVE THE "RATES" SECTION OF THIS SITE). ONE RECENT RENTER WROTE:
"Wow! We had the most wonderful time this week. The weather was beautiful and your condo was perfect We have visited St. Augustine for several years and your "home" was truly a home away from home.

Overlooking our own very wide, clean beach, gardens, pools, and dunes. Look, listen and love it from your own private, third floor furnished balcony. Two large elevators for your convenience. Building has only 4 floors, so our view is superb).

We are directly on the beach, with very ample dunes joined by our own private boardwalk which spans from pool to beach. Note: We have TWO POOLS and a third KIDDIE POOL, all by the ocean. [Click the 'camera' at bottom of page for more pictures].
Dramatic coastline that changes from boulders on the north (popular with surfers) to fine sand on the south (popular with bathers). The sands widen as you head south; by the time you reach us, the beach is a wide expanse of virgin white sand.
'Old' Saint Augustine is 5 miles 'up the road' North of us. Crescent Beach is about 5 miles below us. As part of Florida's First Coast, we have a sandy place for you!
"Maison sur Mer" ("Home on the Sea") is the name I have chosen for my personal condo Unit. We are on the 3rd of four floors (with elevators) of the Saint Augustine Beach and Tennis Club.
We have a wide, clean and deep beach -- even quite pristine, with very little car traffic compared to other beaches.
THIS CONDO UNIT:
has been decorated as a home - my home!
We have two elevators for access, and wide parking spaces for renting guests. Walking time from bedroom to beach is less than a minute, depending on the speed of the elevators and the pace of your walk!]

Thank you for letting us stay AGAIN. What a refreshment for our lives in the middle of raising children for 40 years. We needed it! The weather was the best we have ever seen in our life-time of coming to Florida. No wonder people retire to Florida! Thanks again. Kaye and Doug Mahne *** See you next time!

Dear Father Noonan: Wow! We had a wonderful time this week. The weather was absolutely beautiful and your condo was perfect. We have visited St. Augistine for many years, and your 'home' was truly a home away from home. We loved all the personal touches. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We have made many wonderful memories this week. The Smiths, Winder, GA.

Father Noonan: Thank you for allowing our family to stay at your condo this week. It has been absolutely beautiful this week. We have enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the ocean. The kitchen was probably my favorite part of the unit. It was as if I were home and had all the dishes I needed and then some. Our daughters don't want to leave to go home, they had so much fun. They made some friends while we were here. Thanks again! Mark, Amy, Sydney and Sicily Cooper
