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!
Beach Access: There are 2 different accesses near the property. You can drive onto the beach at Dondanville Rd for a small fee if you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle (that access is a 25 min walk or 3 min drive) or you can park at Windswept Acres Park (4 minute drive) at Matanzas Ave and walk from there (also a driving access with a 4 wheel drive vehicle and fee).
Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house.
The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.
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.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fenced private yard.

The house was very clean. It was large and perfect for what we needed. The pool area was really nice. It was nice to have a heated pool. And it allowed my dog to come, which is a big plus for me. The property managers were exceptional at communication. The response was nearly immediate. Highly recommend this property.

This house was perfect for our family of 4 with our dog. We had more space than we even needed. The layout was great with lots of room and storage. The fenced in back yard with a heated pool was amazing and private. Our dog loved being out by the pool with us! The house is in a great location close to grocery stores, restaurants, beaches and a short drive to downtown St. Augustine. The host was very quick to respond when we had a question. We would definitely stay at this location again!

The house was comfortably furnished with everything the modern kitchen needs. Plenty of space and the outdoor pool area was everything we hoped for. The heated pool performed wonderfully even though the temperatures were extremely low in the days leading up to and at our check in date. We specifically were looking for a pool so we were very happy. There was clean and new looking patio furniture. Location was close to the beaches and that area was quiet with reasonable traffic. Our hosts were very responsive and communicative without being intrusive. A great stay!

Nice vacation stay in a historic Florida city
We stayed at this property a week ago, and had a delightful stay. It's in a safe, well-populated area, but the landscaping gives complete privacy, and the neighbors are quiet. The kitchen is well-stocked with high quality cookware -- even had 2 types of coffee makers, and an air fryer, crockpot, & charcoal grill we didn't even use. We stayed over Christmas & were able to make a scrumptious beef tenderloin dinner for 7 with no problem.The house has been well-maintained, and appeared to have been nicely remodeled & updated. The beds are comfortable & adequate, 4 king-sized beds plus 1 twin, plenty of linens & towels. The heated swimming pool was the crowning beauty -- the week we were there was on the cool side, but the pool was comfortably warmed, and the kids had a ball. There is plenty of seating around the living room & kitchen, and around & near the pool. There was 1 inner tube, so BYO pool toys. We had a problem with the TV the first day, but the manager gave a very prompt response, and we were able to follow simple directions & fix it ourselves. We were supplied with 3 dishwasher pods, and 3 laundry detergent pods. There were no guest soaps, so be sure to bring your own bath soap
