About this property
Steps to the beach, heated pool with guest house and courtyard
Open floor plan vaulted 16' ceilings in the great room. ADDITIONAL NEWLY BUILT 2 BEDROOM IN-LAW SUITE detached from the house the house. 600 sq ft, 2 bedroom, 1 bath with full living room, dining and kitchenette with secondary private pergola through the glass garage doors. see pics and message for additional info. House sleeps 10 with the secondary home out back through the courtyard.
This open floor plan is great for entertaining and catching up with family and friends. Large fenced in yard with outdoor cooking area and Gazebo with 12 seat real teak table protected from the weather with the metal roof of the pergola. 250' from toes in the sand and waves of the pristine Atlantic ocean. Scrub oak canopy in the back yard offers plenty of shade for the hot summer days. The back yard faces South and the two story home blocks the frigid north winds this area can get in the fall, winter and spring making the back yard up to 15 degrees warmer in the cooler months. That aspect can make or break a trip if weather does not cooperate. Back inside the home you will notice the maple inspired laminate flooring throughout, that compliments the farmhouse dinner table with the "gather" sign calling for all to come, sit, eat, drink and create memories that will last long after your trip to this wonderful beach town and home. This home was just recently the personal home of a local builder/developer that built a new home for their growing family. The 2nd floor has a master bedroom and a 2nd bedroom and flex area overlooking the great room down stairs and a detached master bathroom with Jacuzzi corner tub, walk in shower and separate toilet room for both upstairs bedrooms. 3rd bedroom is downstairs off the great room with a full bath across the hall. There is a bonus sun room off the kitchen that is a great sitting room, play room or can be a 4th room for the 7th and 8th guests by utilizing the trundle bed couch and closing the French doors with full privacy blinds in the doors and pull down shades on the windows for full privacy. Large open fully equipped kitchen. The home is approx 50' to a county beach access that leads to the sand and rippling Atlantic ocean. 3 blocks west to the picturesque sunsets over the intracoastal waterway with all it has to offer with fishing, SUP'n, kayaking or simply a bottle of wine or a beer with family and friends. This home is self managed by us, the original designer, builder and habit-ants of the house since it was built 4 years ago. We have 2 others within 5 blocks of this home and are committed to maintaining these homes at the very highest level for our guests. This is a quiet street and we ask that a whisper volume only outside after 10pm.
4 cars maximum at the main house with additional parking at the guest house driveway one block south around bac.

This house met all our needs for our family that ranged in age 1-18 for kids! Easy access to the beach and getting to town. Very relaxing, we enjoyed our stay!
The property was a fun place to stay, it was clean, lots of amenities (towels, kitchen supplies, shampoo, etc,), warm pool, casita, comfy beds, etc. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach, a short drive to Cap’s Restaurant and the Reef’s Restaurant. Publix was a quick trip, too. We stayed 10 nights, so loved exploring St Augustine (a short drive away). It’s a great place to stay!
We had family come in from New York who wanted to see the beach and also had never been to St Augustine. The location was perfect and having the guest house where my sister with littles was able to stay was perfect!
Property was exactly as described . It was a good size, nicely furnished, and very comfortable. The separate living space was a nice touch and added privacy. The pool was wonderful.
This was the perfect property for a "multi-aged" family. The 30 somethings stayed in the guest house while the children, parents and grandparents stayed in the main house.Conveniently located near grocery stores and restaurants. Also close to Old Town St. Augustine.
Just as advertised! Beautiful house with all the amenities. In-law suite was perfect for our grads. The outside pool area was relaxing. Wi definitely stay again next trip to St. Augustine.
We enjoyed time in this comfortable and well-equipped home during our son's wedding weekend. Beautiful inside and out with plenty of space to get comfortable, flexible bedroom options, and a heated pool for relaxing (even in January). The host was super responsive and the home lived up to the photos. Would definitely stay again if we come back to the St. Augustine area!
Six adults and four kids, ranging in age from under 2 to 11, stayed at this lovely home near the beach for five glorious days. The layout of the main house allows for privacy and comfortable common space. But two amenities — the guest house and heated pool — made this an extra special place for a family reunion that included three generations. We’d return in a heartbeat.
Every time I said to myself, "Oh, I wonder if they have this (insert item)", the answer was always "yes". Incredibly comfortable. A true home away from home.
We had a great stay at his property and would go back in a heartbeat. The house and hosts made everything so convenient, even the quick hassle free walk to the beach! We brought some extended family who loved using the guest house. Weather was great and the pool was just right. Thank you!
This was our first experience traveling with three generations. The house was perfect for our needs. The separate apartment gave each family personal space for the week. The kitchen was nicely appointed. Beds were comfy. The pool was great - loved the large "shelf" areas for little ones to swim and play without getting in over their heads. The shed contained so many pool toys and beach items to make our time at both places enjoyable. The very short walk to the beach was fantastic as we could run little ones back to the bathroom in no time! Nice, quiet neighborhood and beach.
My family and I enjoyed staying at your beautiful property while awaiting our daughter’s wedding in St. Augustine. The house was very clean and had everything we needed with extras!! All the beds were comfortable and inviting. The bathrooms were super nice and fresh. Even with the not so good weather we were still able to enjoy the pool and grill outside. The mother-in-law suite was also a plus providing extra room and privacy for my daughter and her small family of 4. I will recommend this property to other family and friends. Thanks for being great hosts!

This was my first experience with renting a property through VRBO. This property provided a wonderful home away from home for our entire family. Our hosts provided a very clean and well supplied home. Grandparents, adult children and grandkids all enjoyed the heated pool everyday. We utilized the beach toys and chairs, the child’s infant high hair, portable crib and safety gates. The ease of walking to the beach and also walking to beautiful sunsets and nearby happy hours were definite positives. I can not say enough about how awesome this property is and we hope to return in the future! Thank you to Jess and Jody for your attention to details and for providing such a clean and welcoming home.
We’ve stayed at many Vrbo & air B&B houses & this was one of the BEST. Spotless, all the necessities thoughtfully provided (soap, detergent, fully stocked kitchen, beach chairs, even a baby gate for the stairs & a safety net around the pool…) Our group was me, my husband, our 20’s daughters, 2 year old grandson, & my in-laws including my wheelchair-bound father in law.Everything was perfect for every age group. The pool was great & my grandson loved the beach toys. The decor was beautiful, the bedrooms were so comfortable, the bathrooms were luxurious…. We never got to use the guesthouse but if we had had one more couple that would have been perfect. We only had a few days in St Augustine this time but, as it’s one of our favorite getaways, we hope to stay here next time we come down!
Such a a great mini vacation and celebration of my 50th birthday. Comfortable beds and linens. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. The walk to the beach was delightful, although if bringing a lot of gear I would suggest driving to a public parking spot as it could get tiresome for some people. Great pool and although we didn’t cook much there were plenty of pots and pans and spices to whip up some meals. Kitchen was fully stocked. The cottage out back was a nice respite from the main house. We all had a great time and felt very much at home away from home. The host Jodi was available immediately if I had any questions at all. 5 stars. Can’t wait to go back again! Thank you for having us.
House is gorgeous and the in-law suite was absolutely perfect especially since my parents came! They had their own peace and quiet when they wanted to turn in early. You can't get a better location as there is a trail to the side of the property to get to the beach across the street! Best of both worlds -pool and beach-exactly what we wanted! Great outdoor space for grilling and hanging out. Best sleep of our lives! Mattresses were super comfortable. The only thing I would change (for us personally) is having the pull out couch in the house instead of the in law suite. In law suite should just be for 2 people in my opinion. My son had to sleep on the couch because we ran out of beds in the house...overall should we come back with everyone we will be booking this house again! Little more than we usually would spend for a place but we all had a great time! Owners were amazing when we had to reach them and answered us immediately.
Absolutely loved our stay!! It was a perfect place for all our friends and family to stay for my wedding weekend! The place was beautiful and clean and check in was a breeze! I absolutely loved how safe it was for my kids with the pool net up and there was actually a baby gate available for us to use that really came in handy! We also loved that it’s literally a 2 minute walk to the beach!! We will DEFINITELY be staying here again on our next St.Augustine trip!!
This place was absolutely adorable. My teenager loved celebrating her 13th birthday in St Augustine. We really hope to stay here again, but definitely longer stay next time. We had everything we needed.
Hosts were lovely and responsive. House was perfect for our multi- generation needs. The three grand children used the pool daily. The walk to the beach was short and fun! We had a great vacation!
Our stay was awesome. It was our daughter’s destination wedding at the Embassy Suites by Hilton. We had many places to stay but this home seemed extra special for our large family and it proved so. It was lovely and comfortable and the separate suite was a huge bonus. Jody was an excellent host just a message away if needed. When in the area we would definitely stay here again. From all our family, thank you, Jody
