About this property
Tropical Winds - Heated Pool & Firepit! Walk to the Beach!
Prepared to be blown away by our Tropical Winds Beach Retreat! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, beach cottage with a heated pool was recently constructed in 2021. With all new appliances and beautiful beach décor you will feel right at home in our beach paradise. Home also offers a large and spacious fenced in backyard. Located only a short walk to the beach with vehicular beach access right down the road. After a long day at the beach, cool off in your private pool or watch the sunset on the front porch. The master bedroom offers a king size bed with a private bathroom, bedrooms 2 and 3 offer queen size beds and a shared bath. The wind house offers high speed internet and smart TVs to keep you connected. Plenty of parking available to accommodate the whole family. If you have a large family and need a second location please inquire with the host about the sister property, The Tidal Paradise Beach Retreat, located right next door.
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!
Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some.

All beds will be freshly made with the exception of the sofa bed. You will find the linens for it in the master closet.
The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated.
The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

Thank you again for choosing us for your stay! We are so glad you enjoyed our home in St. Augustine and we hope to host you again.
Just the right amount of space for us. Plenty of parking. Fur babies loved the fenced in yard. We had a great time!Would suggest a hand rail to assist pool entry/departure and some type of labeling as far as water depth as far as safety features go.

Absolutely lovely home. Very clean in a nice neighborhood for walking and not far from the beach. A nice pool and fenced in yard for our dogs. Close to grocery, pharmacy and restaurants. Downtown St Augustine about 25 min away. Other areas for dining and shopping about the same driving time. David and Jen replied to messages quickly. Thank you for hosting us.

We had a great time staying at this house. The house was clean, spacious, and had a nice little pool to enjoy as well. The house was just a quick drive to a drive-on beach access, so we were able to get to the beach in about 5 minutes. Overall, a great stay and would highly recommend!

We loved our stay at this location. Very quiet neighborhood with a pool and the beach less than a mile away. Downtown Saint Augustine is about 15 minutes away. Perfect spot for a quiet getaway.!
This is our third time staying at this amazing property. It’s starting to feel like our home away from home. The location is perfect, the fenced in yard is amazing and the home is so comfortable. We will be back again soon!

We loved our stay here! It was the perfect location to enjoy St. Augustine area and have a nice quiet retreat in the evenings. Our pup loved the freedom of a yard and we were very comfortable. The home has everything we needed and the hosts were excellent communicating with us! Hope to come back with our 3 kids next time. So much in the area our kids would have enjoyed too!

This property was fantastic! It was clean, spacious, quiet and perfect for a ladies week-long vacation! David was great! He checked on us upon arrival to make sure everything was satisfactory and when we had a question, he was very quick to respond. As far as we are concerned everything about our stay at Tropical Winds was perfect! We would definitely recommend this property if you want to be close enough to St Augustine to enjoy the city but far enough away to relax and enjoy your downtime. Five stars all the way around!

House is perfectly located on a dead street close enough to walk to the beach. If you don’t want to walk, no problem they have a great pool and huge back yard with a fire pit. Beds were very comfortable and house was clean and spacious. Check in and out was super easy and owners and property mgr on top of communication the whole stay. We will be back!
