About this property
Lighthouse - Heated Pool & Firepit! Near Amphitheatre, Historic Downtown, Beach
Our Lighthouse & Beach Retreat is located 5 minutes drive from the beach, 7 minutes drive from downtown St Augustine, and a short bike ride to the amphitheater, this 4 bedroom 2 baths beach-side home with a pool is close to everywhere you want to be. Terracotta tile throughout. The house has one large smart TV located in the living room and another tv in the master bedroom.
Centrally located to beach, amphitheater, lighthouse, downtown, and 312. Everything is within biking distance. Large L shaped lap pool, NOT fully screened. Great kid and pet friendly neighborhood. Older established street with lots of shade trees.
The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.
The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!
The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

It rained the entire time we were there (no lightening). The heated pool was amazing and saves the trip. The kids swam even when it was raining outside.

The house was clean and the perfect space. We loved the proximity to the amphitheater. The owners were communicative of any landscapers/pool people coming by and made everything easy. We hope to return again. Thanks so much!

Property was pet friendly. Some days leaves in the pool were a problem. All in all the property worked out for us. It was centrally, located and convenient to shopping, restaurants, and downtown areas.

Thank you again for choosing us for your stay! The pool is service twice per week by the pool tech, once to check chemicals and once to clean it. A net is provided to guests to remove anything that might fall into the pool between his visits.
House was awesome. Did not feel safe with front window that doesn't lock and only a single door handle for front door with a digital keypad. No way to lock a dead bolt from inside.

We are glad you enjoyed our home! The door does lock from the outside. We don't advertise the house as being childproof, if that was the concern about the lock. Guests are encouraged to bring anything required to childproof the house for their child. We weren't aware of any issues with a window lock, but will check it out.
When we walked in, we were very pleased! Everything was clean, and was as described on the site. Everything was working. Good location, close to the places we wanted to visit. Instructions very clear.

Nothing but great things to say about this property. My family used up all amenities from the pool, and the fire pit almost every single night. I 10/10 recommend this property. Amazing host, and property has everything you may need to enjoy your stay.

Very clean throughout. Floor plan is a little convoluted but that's from it being renovated, i think. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware, dishes, small appliances, etc. Quiet neighborhood. Only caveat, house echoes a bit from lack of absorbing material such as drapes, rugs and cushioned furniture. This is certainly not a problem but just thought I'd mention it. Will certainly stay again should the occasion arise.

The check-in process was simple. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Response from the host was automatic when I had a question. Peaceful neighborhood... Stores, beach all nearby... Sigh. The worst part was leaving lol. Can't wait to stay here again.

The house is in a peaceful neighborhood, minutes from the beach. There was plenty of room. The hosts were great and super responsive. Love St. Augustine and would recommend this place to stay. It's so much better than crowding into small hotel rooms.
We were able to ride our bikes from the house to different places near by that were good to visit such as Anastasia SP, the Lighthouse and bridge of Lions.

We had a wonderful stay. The inside of the home was clean, huge kitchen area for gathering. Perfect location for exploring.We had internet troubles and they were quick to respond with solutions ! Pool was very large and clean. The kids said it one of their favorite stays so far ! My only suggestion would be to give the pool area itself a pressure wash, but we understand how quick stuff grows in Florida :)
