Retro peace in paradise

We had 12 days at this fun and unique property. Staying there is like immersing into a wonderful retro museum. The house and its contents are true to the 60’s-70s. The house is very well equipped in the kitchen. It has lots of room for privacy. The big porch facing the ocean is a great place to relax and listen to the ocean. The beach is right there - beautiful beach, clean, with no cars. We walked for 5 hours total in one direction. The host, Renee, was very attentive and checked in with us by text several times. She explained the history of the house - former owners were shrimping magnates in the area. We saw reference to them in several museums we visited. We truly enjoyed our stay. The house itself was a part of our vacation - it’s that unique. Others have mentioned - the ice cream store “Cone Heads” just 1/2 a block away from the house is fabulous! We actively compared other ice cream stores in Saint Augustine. Cone Heads really is the best. So nice to have it so close to the property. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance too. Beachcombers was our favorite. We hope to return some time in the future. Thanks for sharing this great property with the VRBO community.

Great family beach vacation

We had a wonderful family time. Aloe and Renee were really nice, helpful, and very accommodating. Easy access to the beach was very nice. The extras were a plus. The beach cart was a lifesaver. The whole family thoroughly enjoyed playing croquet. The extra chairs were a blessing to the kids. Thank you

Excellent few days at the beachhouse.

The house is fantastic and has all the space and basic amenities you would want. There is a outdoor deck as well as an enclosed florida room type space upstairs. Close by many restaurants and shops/stores and about 15 mins from St. Augustine historical downtown. Ice cream place down the street as well. The hosts are very nice and very communicative. Highly recommend.

Beach Getaway!

This was the perfect beach house for our group. We had multiple families staying with us. A house away from the beach, down a dead end road leading to the beach access ramp. The host were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. We would highly recommend this house if you are looking for a fun beach vacation. Plenty of family things to do around the area within walking distance.

Fun beach weekend

Great visit to “grandma’s beach house.” The house itself is spacious enough for multiple families and has a perfect vintage beach aesthetic and nostalgic feel. The location was excellent- literally steps to get to the beach access. Beach was not busy and felt like our own private beach at times. Hoping to book this retro beach house again!

Wonderful St. Augustine Beach Home for Large Families

Perfect home for our family gathering including our fur family members.Sunroom and 2 floor living gave us just the right combination of togetherness and separation. Great location - quiet area of beach, pet friendly and easy access. Our host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and was very responsive... the history of this family home was a bonus.

Big house with history.

The decor is 70s which makes it feel a little out of date until you realize that is to make you wonder about the family who lived there in the 70s and had an influence over that area of Florida. Lots of rooms and everything you need and want is there. Best stocked kitchen I have seen in a while. We even found a garlic press.

With mere steps to the beach, this spacious house accommodated our family of ten perfectly. Much time was spent on the enclosed porch playing games, gathering for our meals, and hearing the waves of the ocean. We all wished our week there hadn’t gone so quickly.

Great house and VERY responsive Owner

Really enjoyed our stay at the Historical Shrimper's House. The layout of the house worked well for our large group of extended family. The Owner (Renee) was very responsive when we had an issue with the air conditioner, and she made sure the problem was resolved the same day we contacted her about the problem. We plan to return next year for another week-long stay.

Family Reunion at the beach

The beach is so close, you can hear the waves crashing. A luscious grass area to play games and grill. A sun porch more than spacious enough for all 12 of us to dine together and play games. A kitchen with space that allowed for several people in the kitchen at once, as well as, stainless steel pots and pans and plenty of fun dishes. The upstairs deck allowed us to secure our outdoor gear and enjoy shade and sun. We felt secluded but could walk a block or two to get ice cream or go shopping. The owners were amazing: easy to reach, turned us on to local thrift stores, provided local information about the area and beach. The house is well set up for enjoying your time at the beach and easy. Accessing St. Augustine was a short drive and full of activities to suit the interest of our family. We all would like to return in the future.
