Tropical Winds - Heated Pool & Firepit! Walk to the Beach!
Prepared to be blown away by our Tropical Winds Beach Retreat! This 3 bedroom, 2 bath, beach cottage with a heated pool was recently constructed in 2021. With all new appliances and beautiful beach décor you will feel right at home in our beach paradise. Home also offers a large and spacious fenced in backyard. Located only a short walk to the beach with vehicular beach access right down the road. After a long day at the beach, cool off in your private pool or watch the sunset on the front porch. The master bedroom offers a king size bed with a private bathroom, bedrooms 2 and 3 offer queen size beds and a shared bath. The wind house offers high speed internet and smart TVs to keep you connected. Plenty of parking available to accommodate the whole family. If you have a large family and need a second location please inquire with the host about the sister property, The Tidal Paradise Beach Retreat, located right next door.
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!

This is our third time staying at this amazing property. It’s starting to feel like our home away from home. The location is perfect, the fenced in yard is amazing and the home is so comfortable. We will be back again soon!
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect location to enjoy St. Augustine area and have a nice quiet retreat in the evenings. Our pup loved the freedom of a yard and we were very comfortable. The home has everything we needed and the hosts were excellent communicating with us! Hope to come back with our 3 kids next time. So much in the area our kids would have enjoyed too!
Property was perfect for our needs - adults and children 8-12. Pool was nice sized and crystal clear. Big covered porch and well supplied kitchen. Our owner responded quickly. Good experience.
We had a great stsy here. So close to beach, restaurants and downtown. Big kitchen, nice recliners, and the pool was great. Nice big yard. Host was very nice. We would stay here again.
House is perfectly located on a dead street close enough to walk to the beach. If you don’t want to walk, no problem they have a great pool and huge back yard with a fire pit. Beds were very comfortable and house was clean and spacious. Check in and out was super easy and owners and property mgr on top of communication the whole stay. We will be back!
This is a wonderfull house and nice location. Close to beach. Clean, cumfy, great recliners. Yard is nice. Pool was great, love that it's heated. Comfortable beds. Great big kitchen. We would rent here again.
Overall great place! Everything worked and the house was clean and as advertised. The pool, fire pit and grill were great. The location is perfect…8-10 min walk to beach or drive on and haul all your stuff. Ramp is right across A1A. Host communication was excellent. Trip couldn’t have gone better accommodation wise.
This home was perfect for my family and I! The grandkids had fun in the pool and I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the back porch! Having a fenced yard for the pup was a plus!
The kitchen was stocked with all the cookware needed and there were plenty of towels and other necessities.
We will be back!
Great location and property was just as pictured in the listing. Nice quiet neighborhood for walking the dog. Easy drive to beach, restaurants and grocery stores. Our dog loved the fenced yard and we spent most of our time on the porch or in the pool. Communication with the owner was easy and helpful, and responses were quick.
We absolutely loved the location of the property!! Awesome and quiet neighborhood which is what we had in mind for the beach just a few blocks from the beach.
Then you can hop in the car and be in St Augustine in minutes. It was the perfect set up for our family and pet and loved the beach decor in the home. Very nice with an amazing pool and deck!
Arrived at a very nice house that was clean and well kept. It is located in a neighborhood that is well kept and we had a couple neighbors say hello and welcome us. We felt very safe there. The inside of the house was clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials that we would need to be comfortable. Furniture was nice and plenty of seating for large groups. The pool was clean and well serviced. I would definitely recommend staying here.
This property was beautiful!! In a quiet neighborhood, close to all essentials, especially the beach. We enjoyed the pool majority of our stay since the beach was so windy. Only problem was the pool itself didn't get as “heated” as we thought. All and all, this place has everything you need to have a perfect stay. Will definitely be booking here again in the future!!
Super close to beautiful beaches. Could ride bikes there. Drivable beach access as well as beach parking minutes away. Great pool. Covered porch with ceiling fan gave nice break from sun and heat and rain storms! Property was clean and comfortable. The primary bed was better than mine at home. Property manager was really friendly and super responsive.
Our family enjoyed this sweet space! The location was fantastic! Far enough from the chaos of the more crowded areas but still close and convenient to everything - we couldn't believe how perfect the location was! The house itself is set up very nice, well stocked and felt like home away from home for all of us! The pool was a welcome space to lounge at, as are the front and back deck areas. The fenced back yard made having our dog with us so enjoyable!
Thanks for sharing your home - we truly enjoyed our stay!
We rented this cozy house that was so Beautiful and Clean. We were pleasantly surprised that the house was like the photos but BETTER. We fell in love with it. We were 7 people and we were ALL VERY comfy and relaxed.
If you need somewhere to stay when visiting Florida this is definitely the place to be!
Tropical Winds House was way better than I expected for a rental near the beach. I have rented many houses at the beach and this was the best maintained one I have ever stayed at.
I am comparing this rental to rentals in the 10's of thousands for the week.
WAY WORTH IT. The location was perfect.
What a relaxing stay!!!! Loved where the property is located. Easy walk to beach. Nice clean and quiet neighborhood. Easy drive or bike ride to many places. The yard is fenced in. The covered deck and pool/patio area is perfect for relaxing. Fire pit and all charcoal grill. We loved it so much we extended our stay. The owner was quick to respond. E
We very much enjoyed this house and location near Butler Beach! The backyard is fully fenced and private, and the pool is lovely.
Our hosts, David & Patty were terrific and responded immediately to our questions/ issues.
The only drawback for us were the steep stairs leading into the house, otherwise everything was perfect for our stay.

We were so impressed with this house. The pictures ane the exact same as the house. It was the perfect size for our group. Being from Chicago this was the first time our dog got to have a real backyard and he had as much fun as we did. More than anything the location was the best. Butler Beach was about a 10 minute walk and the prettiest beach we went to. The entire neighborhood was beautiful. I would highly recommend staying here for your beach vacation and we can’t wait to come back!
Just the right amount of space for us. Plenty of parking. Fur babies loved the fenced in yard. We had a great time!Would suggest a hand rail to assist pool entry/departure and some type of labeling as far as water depth as far as safety features go.
