Surfside Sunshine |5 - minute walk to the beach!
Escape to our serene surfside cottage! Where the beach is just steps away, as well as the intracoastal that offers breathtaking views of the sunset. Our cozy home offers direct beach access and a fully fenced yard for you and your dogs to enjoy. Spend your days relaxing outside on our expansive patio or cozy up in our reading nook. When you`re ready to explore, downtown St. Augustine is just a couple minutes drive away. Experience the perfect beach/downtown getaway at our charming sunny cottage.

Step inside to discover a meticulously updated interior and modern amenities throughout. The spacious living spaces are perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding with loved ones after a day in the sun. Prepare delicious meals in the welcoming kitchen featuring all your cooking needs.
For those seeking entertainment and dining options, look no further. With a plethora of restaurants, bars, and shops just a short distance away, you`ll never run out of ways to enjoy the vibrant beachside lifestyle. Some of our favorites - Pesca`s, enjoy their more upscale main dining room or head up to their rooftop bar for cocktails and small bites and enjoy the views. Beaches, sit at the marina and indulge in local seafood and good sushi. Caps on the water, perfect intracoastal views and great food and drinks (a locals favorite). Head downtown for many other options. For your grocery shopping needs Publix is 1/2 a mile away.

A small but optimized little room behind the fireplace is well appointed with a desk, for those times that work is needed and behind the desk is the reading nook and kids play corner. The screened in front porch is off the living room and has a cute bistro table, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee under the mature oak trees.
