Welcome to your St. Augustine beach retreat — a bright, clean, coastal-style 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom stay designed for couples, remote workers, snowbirds, and guests who want an easy Florida getaway.
The home gives you the comfort of a private retreat with the bonus of a heated outdoor pool. The pool is shared with our sister unit, but each unit has its own separately fenced backyard, so you still have your own defined outdoor space to relax, dine, or enjoy time with your pet.
☆☆ OUTDOOR SPACE & POOL ☆☆
Step outside and enjoy Florida living with access to the heated pool, lounge chairs, patio seating, outdoor dining area, and BBQ grill.
Please note: the pool is shared with the sister unit. This is not a private pool. However, each unit has its own separately fenced backyard, giving guests a clearer sense of personal outdoor space while still enjoying the shared pool amenity.
This setup works well for couples, small families, pet owners, and guests who want pool access without paying private-pool pricing.
☆☆ BEDROOM ☆☆
The bedroom features a king bed, ceiling fan, TV, clothing storage, bed linens, and extra pillows and blankets. It's designed to be simple, comfortable, and restful after a beach day or night out downtown.
☆☆ LIVING ROOM & DINING ☆☆
The living area includes a comfortable sofa, smart TV, and an open layout connecting the lounge, dining area, and kitchen. The dining table gives you a casual spot for meals, coffee, laptop time, or planning your St. Augustine itinerary.
☆☆ KITCHEN ☆☆
The full kitchen is practical and well equipped for easy meals at home. You'll have a stove, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker, kettle, blender, cooking basics, dishes, silverware, wine glasses, baking sheet, and children's dinnerware.
Whether you're making breakfast before the beach or reheating leftovers from downtown, the kitchen has the basics covered.
☆☆ BATHROOM ☆☆
The bathroom includes a shower with hot water, hair dryer, shampoo, conditioner, body soap, shower gel, cleaning products, and essentials provided for your stay.
☆☆ WORK & EXTRA COMFORTS ☆☆
For remote workers or longer stays, the home includes fast WiFi, a dedicated workspace, smart TV, heating, air conditioning, ceiling fan, iron, hangers, and access to an in-building washer and dryer.
Families will also find helpful extras such as beach essentials, Pack 'n Play, high chair, and board games.
☆☆ LOCATION ☆☆
You'll be well positioned for a relaxed St. Augustine stay:
✔ Short drive to Vilano Beach and nearby beaches ✔ Minutes from Historic Downtown St. Augustine and St. George Street ✔ Convenient to the Night of Lights area during the season ✔ Close to Anastasia Island beaches, St. Augustine Municipal Marina, and Anastasia State Park ✔ Near Fort Mose Historic State Park, local museums, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences
This location is a strong fit if you want beach time, historic sightseeing, dining, and downtime by the pool all in one trip.
☆☆ GOOD TO KNOW ☆☆
The heated pool is a shared amenity with the sister unit. Each unit has its own separately fenced backyard, but the pool area itself is shared.
This home is pet-friendly, subject to the listed pet policy, conditions, and fees.
Self check-in makes arrival simple, and one free parking space is available on premises.
☆☆ NEED MORE SPACE? ☆☆
Traveling with friends or family? Ask us about booking the sister unit as well. It's a great option if you want nearby space for a larger group while still keeping separate sleeping areas and fenced outdoor spaces.
We'd love to host your St. Augustine stay and help you enjoy an easy beach-and-downtown getaway with pool access, a king bed, and comfortable coastal style.

Last minute booking, paid in full.
After we arrived, they told us we didn’t pay enough! We had to pay more to get the code because of their miscalculation . Also had to answer multiple questions about who we are, why we are there, and had to write to them that we will not have any party’s. Kind of ridiculous. Nicest house on the block.. Barking dogs started at 7:30 a.m.~ all day!

We do have a pet fee, it's disclosed you didn’t want to pay. Sorry you didn’t get to bring your dog for free- no miscalculation. Yes, we need to ask questions to screen bad guest and take care of our property. Don’t bring the barking dog.
The original pics we saw had an outdoor grill. When we got there there wasn’t one. They only clean the pool once a week (on fridays). We got there on a Monday and the pool was filthy by Monday morning because of storms. BUT the owner did go,out of her way and had it cleaned earlier. If you plan to work remotely here, DO NOT!!! The service would come and go all the time. The smart TV was an issue too. We know how to stream but the tv and service went out in the middle of the NCAA final 4:(. Loud neighbors! Someone also tried to get in the front door in the middle of the day. I would not recommend the area for children.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’d like to clarify a few points about it:
The grill is stored to protect it from weather damage but is always available for guest use. Had you requested it, we'd have gladly clarified it.
While our standard cleaning schedule is once a week (typically Fridays), we’re always happy to arrange additional cleanings when unexpected weather events occur—just as we did during your stay. We appreciate your patience and are glad we could resolve this quickly for you.
In regards to internet. We understand how frustrating a temporary outage can be. However, as explained to you, this was due to an area-wide AT&T outage, and we shared updates with you as soon as we received them. In regards to the other reports you had about internet, we were able to confirm that the service was functioning normally during your stay via speed tests that we also shared with you.
Finally, we’ve reviewed our security footage and found no evidence of anyone approaching the door. The neighboring unit was occupied by guests with excellent reviews, and the property is in a family-friendly area. That said, it is also important to point out that we remind all guests that this property has a sister unit with which they share the pool area to make sure everyone knows what to expect.
We take all feedback seriously and will use it to improve. Thank you again for taking the time to share.
Adorable property, comfortable, clean and you couldn't ask for a more convenient location to Historic St. Augustine.The pool was perfect for the weather, made the hot days very refreshing.Will definitely be staying here again.
