About this property
Paradise by the River - Relax in Style Near the Beach! Pool and Heated Spa
Welcome to the Paradise by the River Beach Retreat!
This is coastal living at its finest! This beautifully renovated house is just a short 3 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) to the closest beach access. Kick back and relax in this calm and stylish space. This beautifully furnished home offers a brand new kitchen and bathrooms, a comfortable open floor plan and plentiful natural light inside.
Our living area contains ultra-comfortable couches and chairs that will instill in you a sense of peace and serenity that might encourage you to spend a family night in, watching movies and sharing a bowl of popcorn.
With an island, plenty of space, and all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you could wish for, the kitchen at Riverview is so well-appointed that you might be tempted to cook a big meal for the family. If you are wanting to eat out St. Augustine is the place to be for foodies! Ask us for our favorite recommendations.
Vaulted ceilings in the family room gives this generous room an even loftier feel while relaxing after a lovely day at the beach! The slider opens to an extended Florida room, perfect for entertaining or just enjoying beach life! Outside the home is surrounded by a canopy of mature oaks and a peaceful backyard.
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!

We had a fantastic stay at this beach house! The location was perfect—a quick drive to the beach—and the house itself suited all our needs. It was extremely clean, the kitchen was extremely well stocked, truly had everything we needed and more. We used the pool and hot tub daily, and the fast WiFi and strong air conditioning made everything extra comfortable. Communication with the host was excellent—quick, helpful, and easy. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again!

We come to St Augustine every year if we can for a girls trip. This year we stayed at Paradise by the River. Lovely home, great communication, awesome pool and hot tub. The home was clean, bright, and airy. Amenities were just as described. Easy access to the beach or downtown. All in all an excellent trip!

We stayed just a few days to get away and relax. This home was perfect, offering a pool and hot tub to relax around the house. We were just a short walk from the beach and 10 minutes from Historic St Augustine.
This house was wonderful. The host were amazing and the communication was superb. This place had everything we needed to create a worry free and amazing vacation. Thank you

We had a great experience overall and truly enjoyed our stay. I’m giving 4 stars only because the listing described the property as a “short walk” to the beach, which was a bit misleading—especially with three young children (ages 3–9) in tow. However, we were able to drive and had convenient access nearby, which made up for it. Everything else about the stay was excellent.

Thank you again for choosing us for your stay! The home is about a 15 minute walk from the closest beach access. This is stated in our listing description.
This quiet neighborhood and location was everything we wanted and had plenty of space. The large kitchen and open floor plan was great. The pool and Hot tub was extremely well kept and made this stay even better. We will definitely be returning again.

We were so thankful we found this great spot! The pool was perfect for our group of six including the two kids! We loved having two living rooms and the freedom of plenty of space! Location was great with close proximity to restaurants and beach access. We used Crescent Beach parking lot access which was not even 5 minutes down the road. Beds were ok and everything was incredibly stocked - towels, kitchen, laundry room etc. Great communication and postings around the house too! Neighborhood was quiet and safe.

The house was exactly as we expected and it had everything that we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked and the appliances were modern and in great working order. All the beds were comfortable. The pool and hot tub were wonderful, I only wish we could have adjusted the temperature of the hot tub. It was a great stay and there was plenty of room for the kids to run around and play outside.

My daughters and I stayed for a long weekend. I thought the home was even nicer than portrayed on the VRBO app. The neighborhood was lovely. It was large, comfortable and well equipped. Was one of the nicest VRBOs we have stayed in.
