Private Oasis-Heated Pool-Sleeps 10 - Top Amenities-Pet friendly-cozy

We’re so glad you’re considering a stay at our home! Hosting is something we truly enjoy, and we see it as an opportunity to share not just a comfortable place to rest, but also a bit of our story and the warmth of our community.

I’m a retired Health Care Administrator and a proud U.S. Marine veteran. My wife, Theresa, is a retired school teacher who was born and raised right here in this beautiful area of Florida. I grew up in Panama City, and together we’ve built a life filled with family, adventure, and a love for travel. Our journey even took us to Chile, where we lived for four years, exploring a new culture, building friendships, and deepening our appreciation for the beauty of hospitality and home.

Now that we are retired, we love welcoming guests to our property and helping them create their own memories. Our home is more than just a place to stay—it’s a private oasis designed for relaxation, fun, and connection. With a heated pool, spacious grounds, and thoughtful amenities, it’s the kind of place where families, friends, and groups can unwind and feel at home. One of our favorite touches is sharing fresh eggs from our hens—they’re a small but special way we hope to make your stay unique.

Theresa has a teacher’s heart, and you’ll notice her warmth and care in the little details we’ve included throughout the home. As for me, I enjoy making sure everything is in top shape and that our guests feel secure and at ease from the moment they arrive. Together, we strive to create an experience that not only meets expectations, but exceeds them.

We know how important it is to feel welcomed and cared for when traveling, and our hope is that you’ll feel like part of our extended family during your time here. Whether you’re visiting to explore the history and charm of St. Augustine, to relax by the pool, or to simply enjoy some peace and quiet, we look forward to being your hosts and making your stay truly memorable.

We chose this neighborhood because it perfectly blends the tranquility of country living with easy access to the rich history and charm of St. Augustine. Nestled on 2 acres of private, fully fenced land with a remote-controlled entrance gate, our home provides peace of mind and a sense of security, making it an ideal retreat for families, friends, and pets alike.

The location offers the best of both worlds. Just 20 minutes from the historic district of St. Augustine, you can enjoy world-class attractions, dining, and cultural experiences, yet return to the calm and privacy of your own oasis. We wanted a place where guests could truly relax without feeling rushed or crowded, and this neighborhood delivers that serenity.

Our property was chosen with families in mind. The heated private pool is perfect for leisurely afternoons, and the pool house provides a dedicated space for kids to watch TV, play games, or simply have a quiet spot to hang out. Pet owners will also appreciate that our fully fenced property allows their furry friends to roam safely while guests enjoy the pool or unwind on the porch.

We also wanted to offer a unique touch that brings a bit of farm-to-table charm to your stay. Our happy hens live in their own spacious chicken coop, allowing you to enjoy fresh eggs every morning during your visit. It’s these small but meaningful details that make a stay here feel truly special and memorable.

Ultimately, we chose this neighborhood because it offers safety, privacy, and the chance to experience both relaxation and adventure in one convenient location. It’s a place where guests can connect with nature, enjoy quality time with family, and make lasting memories, all while being just a short drive from one of Florida’s most historic and beloved cities. We hope every guest who stays here feels the same sense of comfort, joy, and peace that drew us to this area in the first place.
