Summary:
Charming Bungalow in Davis Shores, Close to downtown and Beach

The Space:
Experience the best of St. Augustine in this newly renovated coastal bungalow, perfectly situated in the highly sought-after Davis Shores neighborhood. Just a 10-minute stroll across the iconic Bridge of Lions, you’ll find yourself in the heart of historic downtown St. Augustine — or head the other way for a quick ride to pristine local beaches.

This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath retreat blends classic charm with modern comfort. The bright and airy open layout invites you to relax in the spacious living and dining area, perfect for family meals or evening game nights. The fully updated kitchen comes stocked with all the essentials to make home-cooked meals a breeze.

Step outside to your private backyard oasis — a tropical haven made for relaxation. Lounge on the sunny deck, unwind in the hammock under swaying palms, or cool off in the outdoor double shower after a day at the beach. As the sun sets, gather around the fire pit for s’mores and starlit conversations.

With plenty of driveway parking, a peaceful neighborhood setting, and an unbeatable location close to both downtown charm and coastal adventure, this bungalow is your perfect St. Augustine getaway.

Whether you’re here for a romantic escape, family fun, or a weekend of exploration, this Davis Shores gem offers the ideal blend of comfort, style, and location.

Great Location

We had a great time and enjoyed the walkability to local restaurants and old town. We drove to St. Augustine beach (short 7 minute drive with free parking) and really enjoyed the area there as well. The back covered patio gives a nice shady spot to sit outside without getting pounded by the sun. Would stay again.

Great St. Augustine stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Awesome. This place was perfect. Location was great. Easy walk to St. Augustine. The outside area makes it! Our pup loved the fenced in yard. Outside shower was amazing especially at night. And it was cool enough one night for the fire pit. Will definitely stay here again.

StAug Retreat

Checking in was not smooth and we never had a single source for messaging the host. Should we use the VRBO app, phone to an intermediate and unhelpful support number, or text? A single source of contact would have made the whole stay a lot smoother. Otherwise, the property and location are perfect!

Cool house in an awesome location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful stay and hope to come back! The house was perfect for the two of us and our pup. Backyard was wonderful. We loved the outdoor shower and fire pit. Also being able to walk just about anywhere we wanted to go. The neighborhood is very safe for walking your dog. Osprey Tacos, Meehan's Backyard and Fish Camp are a few of the places we would definitely recommend. Thank you Kelly for letting us enjoy this cute little oasis for the week.
