THE FEELING
La Costa is bright, open, and intentionally peaceful. Clean lines, natural light, and airy coastal design create a sense of ease throughout the home. The two-story ceiling and wraparound windows in the kitchen and dining area fill the space with sunlight from morning through evening — a detail guests consistently fall in love with.

This is a home where mornings feel unhurried and evenings invite you to linger.

It’s a space made for connection, laughter, and quiet moments under the stars.

Come and go with ease, without the congestion of downtown living.



A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES, SHARED WITH CARE
To keep the home comfortable for all guests, pets are not permitted due to severe owner allergies. This allows us to maintain a clean, welcoming environment for everyone.

The home is intended for relaxed stays rather than parties or events. The primary booking guest must be 21 or older.

Exterior cameras monitor entry points only for safety and insurance purposes. There are no cameras in private areas, and we kindly ask that they not be touched or tampered with.



ABOUT SUNSHINE ESCAPES ST. AUGUSTINE
La Costa is part of the Sunshine Escapes St. Augustine collection — homes known for thoughtful design, professional cleaning, and a hosting style that prioritizes comfort, clarity, and genuine care. We believe great stays feel effortless, not over-managed.



If you’re looking for a modern, light-filled home with a peaceful energy, tropical outdoor space, and a location that lets you experience St. Augustine at your own pace, La Costa is ready to welcome you.

Amazing home!

We loved the house! Everything was beautifully curated! We would have loved for the yard to have been mowed because our kids really wanted to use the backyard. Overall, an incredible house with plenty to do all around, and SO close to the beach! Will absolutely stay again.

The perfect home away from home

In a tight neighborhood but the property and house itself was spectacular! Spacious, clean, essentials were easy it find and use. Bedrooms were comfortable. Backyard was a cool, private, cozy place to hang out. We had a very comfortable stay. Communicating with owners was great. They are very helpful and respond quickly.

We went for the Nights of Lights and this home accommodated us perfectly. The home itself is stunning. So well built and decorated! They thought of everything and labeled it all clearly. The backyard was great! Loved that they kept it decorated for Christmas into January. We took some beautiful family pictures. Would highly recommend!

Incredibly thoughtful. Everything you could ask for.

I’ve stayed at several 5 star rentals but none so thought through. Amazing that nothing you could ask for was omitted. There was even an evacuation map of the house posted! I highly recommend this home. The beds were very comfortable, the house light filled yet private. We enjoyed the Starbucks keurig coffee and appreciated the recommendations of what to do and where to eat. I give this home 5.5 stars.
