About this property

Steps to the beach, heated pool with guest house and courtyard

Open floor plan vaulted 16' ceilings in the great room. ADDITIONAL NEWLY BUILT 2 BEDROOM IN-LAW SUITE detached from the house the house. 600 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath with full living room, dining and kitchenette with secondary private pergola through the glass garage doors. see pics and message for additional info. House sleeps 10 with the secondary home out back through the courtyard.

This open floor plan is great for entertaining and catching up with family and friends. Large fenced in yard with outdoor cooking area and Gazebo with 12 seat real teak table protected from the weather with the metal roof of the pergola. 250' from toes in the sand and waves of the pristine Atlantic ocean. Scrub oak canopy in the back yard offers plenty of shade for the hot summer days. The back yard faces South and the two story home blocks the frigid north winds this area can get in the fall, winter and spring making the back yard up to 15 degrees warmer in the cooler months. That aspect can make or break a trip if weather does not cooperate. Back inside the home you will notice the maple inspired laminate flooring throughout, that compliments the farmhouse dinner table with the "gather" sign calling for all to come, sit, eat, drink and create memories that will last long after your trip to this wonderful beach town and home. This home was just recently the personal home of a local builder/developer that built a new home for their growing family. The 2nd floor has a master bedroom and a 2nd bedroom and flex area overlooking the great room down stairs and a detached master bathroom with Jacuzzi corner tub, walk in shower and separate toilet room for both upstairs bedrooms. 3rd bedroom is downstairs off the great room with a full bath across the hall. There is a bonus sun room off the kitchen that is a great sitting room, play room or can be a 4th room for the 7th and 8th guests by utilizing the trundle bed couch and closing the French doors with full privacy blinds in the doors and pull down shades on the windows for full privacy. Large open fully equipped kitchen. The home is approx 50' to a county beach access that leads to the sand and rippling Atlantic ocean. 3 blocks west to the picturesque sunsets over the intracoastal waterway with all it has to offer with fishing, SUP'n, kayaking or simply a bottle of wine or a beer with family and friends. This home is self managed by us, the original designer, builder and habit-ants of the house since it was built 4 years ago. We have 2 others within 5 blocks of this home and are committed to maintaining these homes at the very highest level for our guests. This is a quiet street and we ask that a whisper volume only outside after 10pm.

4 cars maximum at the main house with additional parking at the guest house driveway one block south around bac.

Absolutely loved our stay!! It was a perfect place for all our friends and family to stay for my wedding weekend! The place was beautiful and clean and check in was a breeze! I absolutely loved how safe it was for my kids with the pool net up and there was actually a baby gate available for us to use that really came in handy! We also loved that it’s literally a 2 minute walk to the beach!! We will DEFINITELY be staying here again on our next St.Augustine trip!!

Great time with our family and grandparents. Super cute house. Close walk to the beach was nice since we normally stay right on the beach that it was so close still. Would recommend some curtains in front of the garage door that can be closed or opened for extra privacy. Everything was great though with the house, the close proximity to everything, and to the beach

Our stay was awesome. It was our daughter’s destination wedding at the Embassy Suites by Hilton. We had many places to stay but this home seemed extra special for our large family and it proved so. It was lovely and comfortable and the separate suite was a huge bonus. Jody was an excellent host just a message away if needed. When in the area we would definitely stay here again. From all our family, thank you, Jody

A Fun Place to Stay

The property was a fun place to stay, it was clean, lots of amenities (towels, kitchen supplies, shampoo, etc,), warm pool, casita, comfy beds, etc. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, a short drive to Cap’s Restaurant and the Reef’s Restaurant. Publix was a quick trip, too. We stayed 10 nights, so loved exploring St Augustine (a short drive away). It’s a great place to stay!

Perfect Family Home

Six adults and four kids, ranging in age from under 2 to 11, stayed at this lovely home near the beach for five glorious days. The layout of the main house allows for privacy and comfortable common space. But two amenities — the guest house and heated pool — made this an extra special place for a family reunion that included three generations. We’d return in a heartbeat.

Beautiful home for our wedding weekend!

We enjoyed time in this comfortable and well-equipped home during our son's wedding weekend. Beautiful inside and out with plenty of space to get comfortable, flexible bedroom options, and a heated pool for relaxing (even in January). The host was super responsive and the home lived up to the photos. Would definitely stay again if we come back to the St. Augustine area!
