Southern Star Coastal Retreat
Your dream beach vacation begins here. Welcome to Southern Star Coastal Retreat, an oceanfront escape designed for families and friends to relax, reconnect, and make memories. With its cheerful coastal wallpaper, charming shiplap accents, and breezy private balcony, this retreat captures the essence of St. Augustine's laid-back seaside lifestyle. Sip your morning coffee as you watch the sun rise over the Atlantic, then step right outside to sink your toes in the sand—the beach is just steps from your door.
Inside Your Retreat
After a sun-soaked day by the shore, come home to a spacious living area perfect for unwinding together. Stream your favorite shows on the flatscreen TV, connect with loved ones using free WiFi, or gather for a family game night. The fully equipped kitchen makes dining a breeze—whether you're preparing a fresh seafood feast or just mixing up cocktails before sunset on the balcony.
Resort Amenities
This community offers everything you need for a memorable getaway. Enjoy direct beach access, sparkling shared pools, tennis and basketball courts, and a playground where the little ones can burn off some energy. There's something for everyone—whether you're lounging in the sun, playing a quick match, or exploring the nearby trails.
Why We Love It
This home instantly makes you feel at ease. The ocean views from the balcony, the sound of waves drifting in, and the ease of walking barefoot to the shore make every stay unforgettable. It's the perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm, with resort-style amenities that keep everyone happy—whether lounging by the pool, playing tennis, or exploring St. Augustine's rich history nearby.
