Shore Thing - gorgeous home with lots of space, one short block from the beach!

We have some exciting news! The owners are putting in a pool. Construction began on 4/28/2025. The backyard will be closed to guests until it’s complete. Construction of the pool will still take place when guests are staying at the home, workers may be present during the day and there may be some noise associated with the work being done.

Welcome to the Shore Thing Beach Retreat! This beautifully renovated home has 4 bedrooms. Upstairs you will find the kitchen, living room, and 2 bedrooms (both with a king bed). Our kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal for your family. You can relax on the comfortable sofas after a long day of exploring downtown or the beach. Downstairs there is one bedroom with two queen beds (and an en suite bathroom) and one king bedroom.

This property is located one block off the beach, with a short walk to the dune walkover. It's also not far from the historic downtown area.

The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

Block from beach

The house is a short walk to the beach and made for ease of an enjoyable beach day. Many restaurants, grocery stores, are all within 10 minutes and an easy drive. The house was comfortable and spacious for the group. The owners were responsive and kind during our stay. We would stay here again.

St. Augustine Summer Getaway

This is a super clean, beautiful property close to the beach. It has a great layout where our families all had plenty of room and privacy. It is convenient to lots of dining and shopping to suit anyone's needs. The host was very helpful with a notebook of their favorites and recommendations for dining, entertainment, etc. which we used throughout our stay. We hope to stay there again when we are in the area!
