About this property

Oceanfront home with a private huge pool!

The house is the only ocean front house that sits on a double lot with a huge private pool on the non-driving section of the beach. Built in 1936 the house embraces the history of Saint Augustine and old Florida Charm. Surrounding deck overlooking the pool and dunes. The house is constructed of local cypress wood and contains the original floors. Pets are welcome with a $200 pet fee.

Blue Dolphin Beach Front Cottage is situated on two ocean front lots on the Golden Mile of the non-driving section of St. Augustine Beach. The house is the only ocean front house with a pool on the island.
Situated on one lot is the oversized pool and pool deck on the other a charming 1936 beach cottage. The house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, plenty of parking, and a large wraparound deck with a grill and views of the pool and ocean in one. The oversized master bedroom boasts a full size private deck with 180 degrees of ocean front.
The property is managed by a local owner (not a remote landlord) so there are not layers of management, booking and service fees to pay or remote property monitoring cameras. The cottage and beach are also dog friendly.
So what do our guests say they love about blue dolphin:
- Direct on the ocean location ( not houses back)
- The enormous pool, with floats, beach wagon, beach chairs, kids beach toys
- The amazing sun rises of multiple colors, the daily spotting of breaching dolphins and whales during the winter time
- Walking distance to all the island’s best restaurants (seafood, barbecue, tacos, cafes, ice cream, boutique coffee shop, French bakery and robust night life)
- ten minute drive to The Nation’s Oldest City which is rich in history, charm and culture. Take part in the exploration of this amazing city which includes everything from a 17th century fortress to many 18th century buildings representing the historical richness of the city. There are so many choices of activities when you stay local at Blue Dolphin. – museums, fine shops and restaurants, galleries and a calendar packed with events all during the year.
-Over 50% book again for the following year.
-Family memories that last for years

Perfect combination of beach and pool activities for families or anyone! The house has a nice feel of old Florida with all the amenities one needs . Great walking to restaurants, coffee shops, etc. Brad is extremely responsive and helpful with any issue or request. Couldn’t ask for a better spot. The pool is as described, big and clean. There are plenty of floats, etc . The beach is your front yard, no problem at all to go back to the house if needed. Great sunrises . Everyone who came wants to return next year.

Fun family vacation

All 9 of us felt this vacation exceeded our expectations! The location was perfect. Our grandson loved having a park and splash pad nearby and the adults loved nightly walks for ice cream. The house has a fantastic pool area stocked with games and toys for all. Best of all, right on the beautiful beach!

We were able to book this beautiful house at the last minute for my son's 16th birthday. The boys had a great time at the beach surfing most of the day then hanging out in the pool! This property had all the boxes checked for us. Plus the host Brad is Awesome and super helpful! We will be staying again!!
