Big & Bright! Downtown 4 BR house & Big Garden. Bikes, Boards & Beach supplies!
Located in the hip, laid back, eclectic "West King" area of downtown St Augustine, this large single story, 2200 sq ft house is the perfect home base to experience the historic city, sites, beaches, waterways & myriad of attractions of the area. This house is central and equidistant from the Vilano and St Augustine beaches, Golf, fishing spots, national parks, etc. No need to drive downtown, just open up our Sports Shed and take the bikes to historic downtown or if you're up for it, pedal further across the Lion's Bridge to Anastasia Island. Or, if you prefer paddling, you can take the kayaks for a quiet trip down the many surrounding waterways and marshes. We have fishing poles and a tackle box too. If you'd rather check out the many beautiful surrounding beaches take the beach wagon full of beach chairs, shade umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys and beach mats. We also have a longboard for surfing or SUP.
With an open layout, two sitting rooms, and a huge 6000 sq ft fenced in yard with BBQ, fire pit, outdoor dining table and basketball hoop, this eclectic 70s inspired house is perfect for fams & friends.

Nice Place To Stay
We enjoyed our stay there; it is just as advertised! Location was good for everything that we planned on doing. We didn't get a chance to use the bikes or other sporting equipment provided; but loved the spacious back yard, was so relaxing to sit out there to read or just bird watch! Would stay again!

Diamond in the rough
This reasonably priced gem is nestled nearby to parks and short drive to downtown St Augustine and beaches.
It has all the needed amenities to get by. They paid special attention functionality and open design. The backyard is fenced in and offers wide spaces. The fire pit is great and great outdoor seating. I'll admit the plumbing is quirky but overall we really enjoyed the stay comfortably.

Full Package
The host was awesome, communication was great, and being able to accommodate my request, that had nothing to do with the vacation home, WAS BEYOND WONDERFUL! It was really serene, we cooked smores around the fire in the back yard, the crew played basketball, and the adults were able to sit outside and just soak in the serenity. The house is decorated nice and extra items in home, to where you do not have to leave at all. We will be back.

Excellent Family Stay
We had an awesome time in St Augustine and our time in this home was fun and relaxing. My kids enjoyed riding the bikes and we had all the amenities we needed for a lovely stay. The owners were very responsive before, during, and after our stay.
We would absolutely stay here again and would recommend it highly to anyone visiting the area.
