Walk to Beach with Private Pool, Balconies & Huge Lawn | Blocks to Dining

Walk or take your car to the ocean! This 3BR/2BA St. Augustine home is a 2-minute stroll to the beach, and you can park beside the sand just blocks away on Matanzas Avenue.

A sprawling, fully fenced backyard boasts a private pool, an expansive lawn for family games, and two separate decks — including a deck with a patio table for alfresco dining!

The house is strolling distance to restaurants, shops, groceries, and a local park with a kids' playground. Destination highlights are also a quick drive away, including St. Augustine's historic downtown area (a 10-minute drive).

Bringing a boat? Drive less than 10 minutes to launch your vessel at Palmetto Road Boat Ramp or Frank Butler West Boat Ramp.

LIVING AREA

A long and open living space full of natural light has a chilled, by-the-beach vibe. A pair of armchairs greet you on arrival in a chilled sitting area.

Just beyond, the main living area features another three armchairs and a cushion--filled sofa. In the evenings, kick back in front of the 56' wall-mounted TV.

KITCHEN & DINING

At the far end of the living space, an open kitchen has a central island to chop ingredients, a range of stainless steel appliances, and a granite kitchen bar that seats four.

Steps from the kitchen, a light wood dining table seats another six.

BED & BATH

In the stylish master bedroom, a king bed sits opposite a 56” TV. Enjoy direct access to the balcony and an en-suite bathroom with a double vanity and walk-in shower.

The plush second bedroom features a queen bed and a 56” TV. A family-friendly third bedroom is detailed with two twin beds and a fun Florida map. The guest bathroom with a tub/shower combination.

EXTRA AMENITIES & MORE DETAILS

OUTDOOR AREA

Plunge into a glittering private pool in your fully fenced backyard.

Sizzle lunch over the BBQ grill, or enjoy family games on the expansive lawn.

There's plenty of room to sip coffee on a furnished front balcony. On the back balcony, a four-person patio table offers a wonderful spot to dine alfresco.

THE LOCATION

While 5 minutes' drive away, the 1,600-acre Anastasia State Park boasts a 4-mile long white-sand beach, abundant wildlife, and opportunities for swimming, kayaking, and fishing.

Restaurants and shops are steps from the house, and there's a kids' park just blocks away. Family attractions include Marineland Dolphin Adventure (17-minute drive) and Anastasia Miniature Golf (7-minute drive).

Save time to explore St. Augustine's historic downtown (10-minute drive). Explore cobbled lanes, charming Spanish Colonial architecture, top-notch museums, and flit between numerous local shops and restaurants.

Family School Vacation

We absolutely loved the house. It is a 5 minute easy walk to the ocean. You can hear the ocean early in the morning from the front porch. Lots to do and places to eat close by. Pool was great and had a grill to bbq and nice yard that the kids played pass and the dogs loved to run around in. Yard completely fenced in which made it great for the dogs or if you have small children. The only thing that we would have made it more enjoyable is if there were stairs to get to the back yard from the back porch. It also would have been better if the garage door opened in the back yard to make playing ping pong easier when everyone is outside. Bathroom downstairs in the garage is so convenient when outside. Overall we loved the house and hope to return again soon!!

Great house, great location.

This place is great for teens and dogs. The pool was a blessing to have and the ping pong table was the highlight of all of our competitions. Great neighborhood, great walk to the beach all very safe. Furniture was durable for our service dog and other puppy. The carpenter bees were an issue but if you don't bug them they go away. We had a great time. Great house. Problems arose with the pool cleaning. That is wrong in the listing. It comes on Friday not Mondays. The lawn service really should have a window of 2 hours for the family to re arrange their daily pool time, pool hours, outside time etc... The management had no idea when the lawn service was coming which really made me mad. Otherwise, I would for surely recommend this house. Loved it and had a wonderful time.

Great for families

House was great for our short trip to St. Augustine. About 10-15 minutes from the historical area. The house was equipped with most needs ( a few more cleaning supplies and garbage bags would have been nice). The house was a few blocks from the ocean, straight shot from closest East West cross street bonus you can drive on the beach with the appropriate vehicle. The downstairs game room was great. We didn't use the pool, but the whole outdoor area is well equipped for the whole family. We would definitely rent this property again it was a quiet location but close enough to everything we wanted to do.

Amazing location and amenities!

This was a great stay. The house was exceptionally clean and furnished with an in-ground pool, fenced in yard and super close to the Butler Beach and a Cuban cafe for early morning coffee or a Mexican restaurant for some quick eats. Everything is supplied and in great shape. All you need are groceries, sun block and a fun attitude. There’s a great putt-putt course down the road and lots of places along the beach to swim and surf in, grab shells or sea glass, and walk the estuary. I’d recommend you bring your bikes if so inclined. I was trying to book again, but they’re already booked so if you see the week you want, grab it. This place was a real gem. I’m a single dad with two teens and a little dog and it was worth every mile and dollar to be here. We had the best time!!

Fantastic experience

After i spent time reading reviews i had low expectations. But vacasa must have taken the feedback and improved a few things because i thought the property was terrific! The house was very clean. It is decorated in a cute, beachy theme. It is the perfect size for 5 or 6 people. There is nothing wrong with the stairs and i didn’t encounter any bees like another reviewer. The kitchen is stocked with more than adequate dinnerware, utensils, large plastic cups with lids and straws to use at the pool, even salt and sweeteners for your coffee. I thought there was plenty cleaning supplies as opposed to another reviewer. It is a super easy walk to the beach. You have to cross a1a, but it is only two lane at this spot and there is an electronic crosswalk sign to make it easy and safe. There are a couple beach chairs and a cart to take to the beach. The beds are very comfortable- even the bottom mattress of the bunk beds (i didn’t sleep on the top one). A/c worked great, as did wifi. The pool is perfect. It’s true a little grass does get in it after the lawn service mows on thursdays, but it is very easy to use the pool skimmer to get it out in 2 minutes tops. When we contacted the management company via text we received immediate answers. Maybe other folks had a different experience than we did - but we couldn’t think of any constructive criticism- it’s just a great place!

Great Location but Bee-ware

First the positives: The house location is great, walkable to the beach and in a nice, family neighborhood. The size was just big enough for our small family with plenty of TVs (if everyone wants to watch something different) and great Wifi. It’s also great to have use of the beach caddy/chairs especially if you are not driving to the house for your vacation. Now, the negatives, that sadly outweigh the positives: The only access to the house is via old wooden stairs in desperate need of repair (not sure they would pass any code) that have been eaten away at by a swarm of carpenter bees. The deck in both the front & back are also old wood with swarming bees making the use of the outside sadly impossible. You have to dodge giant bees entering & leaving the front door and we didn't even get to enjoy the pool. Also, it should be noted that the game room in the garage is not accessible from inside the house. You have to go out the bee-infested front entry, down the precarious wooden stairs, unlock the side garage door, then open the back garage door. This is the only access to the backyard as well. There is no access to the pool/yard from the kitchen sliders/deck. Be aware that the bunk beds are incredibly squeaky and unsleep-able. Luckily our daughter was able to sleep in the Queen bed which was very comfortable. It would also be nice if they provided more garbage bags and cleaning supplies to keep your space clean. This is a long review, but I am hoping to help families plan.

Great shotgun style house with open floor plan. We loved our visit and the home was neat and clean. The only thing we had issues with is the microwave above the stove does not work so there was no vent for the stove and then there was were only 6 towels for five people for all week as they asked you not to wash them. Great place though and will look at staying again

Great house located in a quiet neighborhood with private pool

We had a great week at this rental. The listing was exactly as described on VRBO. We were within a few minutes walk to the beach access and loved having a fenced- in yard with a private pool. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to invest in a luggage lift off the back porch. Lugging everything up and down the steps, was the only draw back to this property. We would definitely stay here again.

We really enjoyed this house, Very with stocked with everything you need for a week long vacation. The pool was very nice, nice quiet neighborhood. Beach was a short distance away, we drove, because you can drive on the beach. This unit is close to some great restaurants, The Oasis was great, Safe Harbor was great, and Island Donuts was amazing, The Pizza At Romano's on the beach was the Best Pizza we have ever had, Bar none!.
