Overview
Fenced back yard, brand new, one block to beach, 2 bdrm, huge bathrm
Enjoy your best vacation ever. The Pearl is a beachside private home totally remodeled 2015. This small ocean jewel is a two bedroom, 1 bath home in a quiet, highly regarded and admired beach neighborhood with a laid back atmosphere, eclectic mix of old Florida cottages and contemporary homes just one block from one of the several deeded beach accesses...just walk on. It is on a full lot that runs from one street to another providing additional privacy and access and parking. We are pet friendly and children love this cottage. The furnished covered porch out front is a delight to relax on and listen to the ocean. The totally fenced backyard has a great party deck for grilling, entertaining, relaxing and sunning. You are just a short, easy 2 minute stroll to one of the best beaches on the East coast and an easy bike ride to the intra-coastal waterway public boat ramp and Windswept Beach Park. You are only 10 miles from Marineland and 15 minutes from historic downtown St. Augustine.
The open Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen floor plan allows The Pearl to live big and easily all on one floor. Both bedrooms have extremely comfortable Beds (we love comfort). The MB is a king size bed and the other bedroom has two twin beds with a kit to easily convert them to a king size bed. Also, one of the two sofas in the Living Room is a great Queen sized sofa bed. You can easily sleep up to 6 people. Our home is fully equipped, very comfortable and very well decorated. A comfortable and brand new stainless steel and granite modern kitchen allows you to easily prepare meals at home when you choose. Enjoy the 48“ flat screen LED HD satellite TV and free wi-fi. The Master Bedroom also has a TV. There’s even a desk if Mom or Dad need to do a “little” work while away or just write postcards. We’ve provided lots of little extras to make your vacation memorable and the most fun.
We are out of state owners but very “hands on” with our property visiting often and living in one of our three vacation homes in St. Augustine during the winter. We also own The Mermaid Cottage #408813 . The Mermaid Cottage and The Pearl are next door to each other and can be rented together for larger family/friend gatherings. Please read our great reviews on both homes . Local friends help us maintain this lovely home and are available immediately should you need assistance
You will love this small ocean jewel The Pearl, the beach and the neighborhood. You will feel right at home immediately. We want you to relax and enjoy our home and your St. Augustine vacation experience and return year after year. Special winter rates available months of Jan., Feb and March. June and July are weekly rentals only unless there is a period of less than 7 days available. Please inquire about rentals of less than 7 days during these months for consideration.

Deborah Reeves purchased this cottage in 2014
Why Deborah Reeves chose Saint Augustine
George and I love the beach. We were both raised on east coast beaches and although we love living in the mountains of NC, we missed the coast. We always dreamed of owning a beach house. We've spent many hours and dreams designing and redesigning the quintessential beach get-away. We believe that we have created that special place to retreat, relax and recharge....the perfect 'memory building' spot to share with family, grandchildren and friends.
Acquiring The Pearl gave us the opportunity to "save" one more of the original beach bungalows. So many of these are being torn down and replaced with large tall homes. They are beautiful but we had a fondness for the older style cottages that conjured up lots of childhood memories. It has been fun to restore them to be very modern and comfortable homes. And we are happy to be sharing it with you and your family and pets.
What makes this cottage unique
We love grabbing a beach chair and just walking the short distance to the beach ramp. The ramp is built over the dunes and we enjoy looking at the plantings and creatures that live in the dunes. The beach is one of the widest on the east coast and we are always awed by it. It's a casual beach which we find very relaxing. Pets are allowed on a leash and we enjoy watching people and their pets. We are so close to Dtwn St. Augustine , the oldest city in the U.S. It takes minutes to drive Dtwn and enjoy all the site seeing, shops, architecture, wonderful art and great dining. We are always passing ghost tours and one of these days we're going to take one. Our neighborhood is well known for gopher Tortoises. They live here and are federally protected as an endangered species. We have a burrow in our yard and it is always a treat to see them roaming the yard. And it is nothing to pass one on the road as you are taking a walk and of course we see them as we walk the boardwalk over the dunes.

The Pearl is simply darling!
My husband and I had a wonderful stay at The Pearl. It really is a darling little cottage! It is bright, airy and is the perfect beach retreat.
It has been completely renovated inside and out. The location is also perfect. It takes about 5 minutes and you are on the beach. No trudging through dunes etc... The boardwalk makes getting yourself and your stuff to the beach a breeze.
The kitchen is stocked, the bathroom is exceptional, linens are top quality, and beds are really comfy. The outdoor pavered area with grill and adirondacks is so inviting. We spent alot of time out there.
Our 1 year old Goldendoodle Ozzie had a great time too. The fenced back yard offered him a place to hang out and be off leash. The neighborhood is quiet. We went on several walks daily, no traffic or loud guests anywhere.
Deborah and George were very attentive before, during and after our stay. Excellent communication, response time and follow up.
The Pearl is really a little jewel! We will visit again soon.

Amazing Place!!!
Very cozy and well kept cottage near St. Augustine Beach. Has everything you need for a quick weekend getaway or for an extended stay. Just literally bring you clothes and food, nothing else is needed. This is our second stay at The Pearl and surely won’t be the last!!!
Pristine home close to the beach and historic sights
The property was clean and well taken care of. Large fenced in backyard for a dog. This home was perfect our trip, only a 5 minute walk to the beach and a short drive away from historic downtown St. Augustine. The owners are great, quick communications and plenty of information is given for your trip. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this home.
The Pearl is absolutely adorable!
This was our first visit to St. Augustine and were delighted with the house, the beach and the town! The Pearl is exquisitely decorated and well appointed. Location is great, 5 minute walk to beach, tons of great restaurants within a short drive. The beach and many restaurants are dog friendly- our pups also had a great time! Deborah is a pleasure to work with-very responsive. As a first time VRBO renter, we could not be happier with our experience and will definitely be coming back to the Pearl.
Great Family Home away from Home
A very comfortable, clean, open home away from home. Home is well maintained, furnishing are clean and comfortable as well, and modern. Has a backyard that is great for grilling out and relaxing with your family and pet, our dog loved being able to room around in the fenced in backyard after being on a leash at the beach. Location of this home is perfect, very quiet neighborhood, but just a very short walked down the street onto the beach and a short drive to many places in town. Enjoyed every minute of our stay, hope to return again, thank you for opening up your home so that we could have such a pleasant vacation. We highly recommend this home.
Loved it
Went for a long weekend with our daughter and 2 dogs. The house was great, the beach was clean and not that crowded for memorial weekend. We were far enough away for quiet and close enough to historic downtown to enjoy. Mrs Reeves was hands on and assisted us personally when we had questions. Looking forward to booking with them again.
Map
Conviently located just 7 miles from historic Old Towne St. Augustine. We highly recommend taking the trolly tour when you first visit. Ripley's Believe It or Not and The Fountain of Youth. Just 5 miles from the world famous Alligator Farm and Zip Line. We are only 10 miles from Marineland. And an easy 15 miles from the World Golf Hall of Fame.
