Island Charmer Davis Shores/Pets/Firepit/Walkable location
Step inside this charming home and feel your worries and cares melt away as the relaxing atmosphere envelopes you. A spacious living area assures comfort for all. The Retro feel of this home brings you back to a gentler space in time. Fabulous island location close drive to a variety to beaches and near enough for an easy stroll over the famous Bridge of Lions, straight into the downtown of our nation`s oldest City. Restaurants, shops or simply relaxing. All here, so nice!
Island Charmer has a wonderful layout. Enter through garage or front of home and both will land you right into the kitchen. So convenient for dropping off groceries and goodies! The kitchen is only slightly separated from the dining room so that entertaining and cooking have a separation, however the dining room has a nice coffee niche where the Keurig is set up and so you can make your afternoon or morning coffee without getting in the way of the cook! Drip coffee is in the kitchen, for whatever your preference may be! Happy hour happens here too as the other half of the coffee bar is set up for wine or cocktails. BYOB! This lovely home flows nicely into the living room with a very large TV great for watching your favorite sporting event or for cuddling up on the sofa for a great movie! Fireplace is just for ambiance and nostalgia but may not be lit, however the candles are actually electric so feel free to switch them on for a bit of a subtle glow! The adjoining room can be left open or closed off depending on how many guests you have or what they are doing, as the office desk and chair are there, as well as the sleep sofa. This makes for a nice 3rd bedroom if needed. Lots of windows for cheery morning light and a view of the lush foliage! The hallway behind leads to the guest bathroom, complete with tub shower, and you will find next to this the guest bedroom. At the end of the hall is the master bedroom, ensuite bathroom with shower. The home is cozy and quaint with plenty of room to relax and play. Everything is conveniently on one floor so no steps to contend with. The location is super convenient for walking or driving and is quiet and nice without the sound and bother of traffic. The perfect place to get away from it all while still being conveniently close. The yard is shaded in some parts, perfect for a restful afternoon with island breezes to enjoy, and has a nice fire pit for warmth or ambiance. It is fully fenced mostly for smaller dogs, and lush landscape gives a nice tropical feel.
New amenities include bucket golf, corn hole, connect four, Jenga, and a Spike Ball. For those into yoga, you`ll find two mats, two blocks, a belt, blanket, and small weights.
You are able to access all of this home save for a housekeeping/owner closet which will remain locked.
You will find plenty of parking in the driveway. Approximately 3-4 vehicles may be parked in the driveway depending upon the size of the automobiles. Island Charmer is located in Davis Shores -- a stunning neighborhood on the banks of the Matanzas River. and surrounded by water on 3 sides. Just across the Bridge of Lions is historic downtown St. Augustine. The State Park Beach is just a 2-3 minute drive away. Other public beaches are Vilano and St Augustine Beach, both about a 10 minute drive. All beaches are totally different from one another. Check them all out! There are all kinds of shops and restaurants close by and if you like to walk you are in luck because they are mostly all within a nice stroll away. However for site seeing, other than downtown, and shopping you will need a vehicle. For a relaxing and unforgettable vacation time, whether with family or just your best pup, Island Charmer is sure to please. Vacation time made simple and easy. Come and relax and enjoy. This is a place of no regrets!

Wonderful location, just what we were looking for.
Needed a place to stay for my son’s college graduation and a place to hold a get together afterwards. This was a quaint little house with a fenced yard that our dog loved (bigger dogs would likely be able to clear part of the shorter fence but it worked for our Bassett Hound). House was on the smaller side but had plenty of room for our sleeping party (6) and for the grad party we hosted of about 10 people. The location was fantastic as we were close to old town and also close to St. Augustine Beach area as well. The neighborhood was amazingly quiet and very safe, we felt completely comfortable walking our dog late at night or before dawn. Communication by the management company was outstanding. We had a small issue while we were there (not the fault of the host) and everything was communicated and taken care of quickly and pretty much painlessly. We would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

This small home has everything you need, and the location couldn't be any better. It sits within walking distance of almost everything. Our favorite was sitting out on the Pier at the Conch House with a cold adult beverage near the end of the day. It being pet friendly is just the icing on the cake. It's nice enough to enjoy sitting outside whether its for dinner or drinks and the fenced yard was just perfect for our two pups. This property is Highly Recommended by experienced VRBO travelers.

Very relaxing, plenty to do for every age. We went to the beach every morning, then excursion in the afternoon. We were a little concerned about not having a beach front view home but this house was in a very quiet neighborhood that we quickly forgot about the view. We would definitely stay at this property again.

Perfect Property
This property was perfect, it was Clean, Peaceful, and in an Excellent location. The neighborhood was very quiet and close enough to walk to downtown. We enjoyed our morning walks and runs in this area. The house had everything we needed including the most peaceful, fenced in background for our dog. You must eat at The Conch House, a very short walk from the property.

Very nice stay
We had a very nice stay here. The home was very clean and in a nice neighborhood. A short drive to the beach and within walking distance to the historic town. The beds were comfortable and the home seemed to have everything you would need other than beach chairs. It even had one bike for use which was nice due to the neighborhood being a perfect place for a bike ride. I would definitely rent from the proper group again if the opportunity arose. Thanks for a great stay!

Cute Little Bungalow Close to Downtown and Beaches
We enjoyed our stay at the bungalow! The pictures are accurate, but can’t convey the feel of the nice neighborhood, which was quiet and friendly. The house is a little over a block from the water (no beach access, but only a short drive to A1A and the beach). We arrived to a clean house. The memory foam bed in the master bedroom felt new and was very comfortable. There is no vent in the master bath, but the main bath has one. The washer & dryer are new, and all appliances worked properly. There is a toaster oven in the kitchen, not a toaster, but I had no problem making toast every morning. We had a wonderful stay and would book this again if available.
