St. Augustine 3BR Retreat · 2 King Suites · Putting Green · 1 Mi. to Downtown
A bright, modern 3-bedroom home one mile from historic downtown St. Augustine. The backyard is the heart of it: a private putting green, a fire pit, and palm trees all around. Inside you'll find two king suites, a calm twin room, and an extra-large dining table with room for eight. It works just as well for three generations as it does for two families or a group of friends.
We welcome little ones: there's a pack'n'play, a booster seat, kids' dinnerware, and a stash of books and board games for slow evenings.
AT A GLANCE • Sleeps 8: two king suites, a twin room (2 twins) for kids or adults, and a queen sleeper • Private fenced backyard: putting green, fire pit, propane grill, corn toss • 92" dining table seats eight comfortably; fully stocked kitchen and coffee bar • For little ones: pack'n'play, booster seat, kids' dinnerware, children's books, board games • 1 mile to downtown; 12 to 15 minutes to the beach, with chairs, towels, umbrella, and cooler provided • A holiday favorite: Nights of Lights minutes away, and a 12-foot Christmas tree at home in season
SLEEPING & BATHS Two full bathrooms, one per floor.
Main floor: king suite with workspace, steps from the full bath with walk-in shower (it also serves the living area). Upstairs: a second king bedroom with 55" TV, the twin room in the same calm beach style as the rest of the house, and a full hall bath. The queen sleeper is downstairs. The layout splits naturally: grandparents or one couple on the main floor, everyone else up.
THE SPACES Two-story ceilings and wraparound windows keep the house light from morning to evening. A 65" TV in the living room, a record player with a small vinyl collection, a quiet yoga corner under the stairs, and a reading nook upstairs with a little library box. After the kids are down, the fire pit and the egg chair under the palms are all yours.
KITCHEN & COFFEE Fully stocked and organized so you can cook from day one. The coffee station has a Keurig Duo, a French press, a gooseneck kettle, Starbucks coffee, and teas. Kids' plates and utensils have their own drawer.
OUTDOOR LIVING The backyard is where La Costa shines. Putting contests for every generation, evenings around the fire pit, a swinging egg chair and hammock under the palms, and a grill steps away. Fully fenced, so toddlers and grandparents both wander freely.
LOCATION • 1 mile (4 to 6 minutes) to historic downtown: Castillo de San Marcos, St. George Street, Flagler College • 12 to 15 minutes to St. Augustine Beach and Anastasia State Park • Prime holiday base: Nights of Lights minutes away • Private driveway parking; skip the downtown parking hunt

This was such a wonderful place for us to host a small party for our daughter's graduation from Flagler. Our favorite part was the deck looking over the water. The kitchen was well-stocked, everything was clean and the host was very helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing this, and for choosing to stay with us. We’re delighted to hear the home felt beautiful and that everything came together so well for your visit. Creating a stay that feels effortless and thoughtfully cared for is always our goal.
We’d love to welcome you back whenever your travels bring you to St. Augustine.

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.

This is an amazing property!! The owners thought of everything! Wish we could have stayed more nights, but we were in St Augustine for only two days. Immaculate and comfortable for all 6 of us. We will definitely stay again if the opportunity arises!! Thank you Jon and Lola!
From the moment we walked in, we were all highly impressed with this lovely home! It truly had every detail down to perfection. If you're looking for an interior to please on every level, plus comfortable for 3 generations of family, and extra clean, this is exactly what you're looking for, trust me. You'll love staying here! We all did. Thank you to our gracious hosts, and for thinking of all the little details that truly made our stay special.

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.
