Come away to relax in Saint Augustine.
If you demand comfort, quality and convenience in the places you stay, we will meet your expectations. This is our second home and we want it to be an enjoyable place for everyone to visit.
Equipped with everything you will need for your stay, there is no hurry to rush out to buy coffee for your first morning as all basic food supplies are already there. Both bathrooms have shower products and first aid items, so you can languish restfully in the kingsize bed, enjoy a pleasurable, unhurried coffee on the peaceful lanai and plan your first day in the sunshine.
We are located in a private cul-de-sac in Royal Saint Augustine, a very quiet and appealing development that has its own golf course, children's playground (currently being renovated)and country club. It is only 10 minutes from Historic Downtown Saint Augustine and 10 minutes from Vilano Beach. We recommend an early morning stroll, combined with shelling and dolphin watching. You can drive your car on and in our opinion it's the best beach in the area!
Although our spacious and inviting one-story home, sleeps six comfortably (king, queen and futon), we thought it important that the dining area seats eight, so an occasional friend could dine. All furniture and accessories are of good quality and taste! There is 46" HCD TV with Comcast Digital cable and separate DVD player and the en-suite with double walk-in shower has hairdryer & GHD straightening/curling irons. Our home has WiFi so you can keep in touch via your iphone or laptop.
A perfect, year-round climate with sun-kissed days, balmy nights and quiet, uncrowded picturesque sand beaches are what draws visitors to historic Saint Augustine, America's oldest city with 50+ historic sites, points of interest and unique shops. We're sure you'll enjoy your time here.
There are two well-kept playgrounds close by, one of which has a carousel, our daughter's favorite! We are a 5 minute drive from the designer outlet malls and to the intra-coastal waterway for launching of boats and kayaks, fabulous sunsets and various excellent recreation and dining activities. (There's 2 kayaks in our 2 car garage, you can use.)
And after all this - collapse in our private decked area, with seating and a bistro set, there's a small grill for barbecuing and a fire pit for flame gazing whilst drinking champagne (of course!). You can even roast marshmallows on it! Complete with outside citronella candles, this is a lovely way to end a fun filled day.

Why the Owner Chose St. Augustine
We bought our home "Away2relax" because we love Saint Augustine.
Having close friends who live in Jacksonville, we have visited the area for many years.
We chose Royal Saint Augustine as it was convenient to everywhere and a very friendly neighborhood.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love that it is only 10 minutes away from town, 10 minutes to Vilano beach - a very special place and close to the outlet malls with easy access to the I95. Our home is very tranquil and has a very private deck and lanai. We know that you will enjoy visiting!

great place to stay in St Augustine

We stayed between Dec 26th and the 30th and had a great time. The house is clean, nice and has all needed amenities. Highly recommended for everyone. I traveled with my teenage daughters and also with my oldest daughter (who is pregnant) and her husband, we all felt right at home and were very happy to stay at this beautiful home. The internet is a nice plus!

Thanksgiving 2011

This property is in excellent condition. The house is very well kept. Usually we do not rent anything with carpeting. I am not sure how it escaped me but the house is carpeted. My kids have chronic allergies and usually cannot stay anywhere with carpeting. The carpet was extremely clean, we had no allergy outbreaks. The entire house is well equipped: bedding, towels and the kitchen. We enjoyed our stay over Thanksgiving weekend. Staying in the house gave us the opportunity to be secluded from the hustle and bustle of the very busy St Augustine historic district and the streets and traffic around the bed and breakfast inns. The house, as represented by the pictures, is nestled within a golfing community and is surrounded by trees and shrubbery. There is even a fire pit on the deck in the backyard for nights when you just want to stay in and relax. The drive to most attractions is between 10 and 15 minutes. Publix is just around the corner. I totally recommend this property to anyone looking for a family vacation in St. Augustine. I plan to return.

We stayed for 5 weeks while we waited for our new house to be finished, and it was really nice to have such a nice place to call "home" in between homes! It is decorated beautifully, and the beach theme is very relaxing. It's close to the beach, downtown, shopping, and sight seeing, which allowed us to explore our new town with ease. It was very clean and well maintained, and all of the information provided about the area was extremely helpful and interesting. Si and Juli have been very accomodating, and my family and I really appreciate it!

The home was exactly as it was advertised. It was clean, comfortable, and not far from the sights we wanted to see. The neighbors were very friendly and welcoming to their neighborhood. There were six of us staying in the home and we had plenty of room. I would recommend this home in a heart beat.

This was the perfect beach get-away. Very rarely do you get honest advertisement, but this home was just like they said it was. The house was clean and well stocked. I have 2 young boys and it very kid friendly. It's in a quiet neighborhood where we felt safe and very much at home! The grocery store is very close by which is a big plus in my book! Vilano beach is amazing in the early mornings. Thank you so much for our wonderful stay!

Wonderful property in St. Augustine

Excellent place to stay in St. Augustine..close to downtown and the beach! Homey and inviting with all the necessities of home. I loved that there was space to put down when we weren't touring the area. The boys loved watching movies at these times and when we took in the sights, we were close by and could easily go to the house to change and head back into town. The first time my boys were at the beach, my youngest burying himself in the sand! Walking the beach was fun and I found many seashells to bring home as a reminder of the trip. Thank you guys so much for making our stay such a wonderful experience!

We loved this rental! It was just close enough to see the sights but off the trail enough to relax. The property and neighborhood were clean and our pup loved meeting the other neighborhood dogs. The owners are personable and made the overall experience that much more enjoyable. Looking forward to our next trip to the Atlantic :)

Comfortable home that made it easy to relax. Close to downtown St. Augustine and beaches. Well stocked house which means show up with your clothes and personal items and you are all set to enjoy your vacation. Having a garage to park our vehicle in is always a plus.
