About this property
Family Beach Escape w/ Private Pool|Downtown St. A
Summary:
Modern two-story beach house just steps from downtown St. Augustine’s top spots. This family-friendly getaway features a private pool, surf-inspired décor, and easy walkability to the Fountain of Youth Park, Magnolia Avenue eateries and 5 minutes from Vilano beach. Four cozy bedrooms and high-end baths make it a retreat where parents and kids both feel spoiled. Spend your days exploring historic streets and your evenings splashing by the pool under the stars.
The Space:
Step inside your sun-filled two-story beach escape, where the bright surf-inspired décor and gentle coastal palette whisper of warm summers, salt-air breezes, and laughter shared poolside. Imagine mornings sipping coffee on the patio while the kids dive into the private pool; afternoons wandering cobblestone streets of America’s oldest city; evenings grilling under string lights by the pool as the orange glow of sunset lingers.
On the main floor, the open-plan living area welcomes with plentiful windows that frame glimpses of the pool and palm-framed sky. A sofa nest beckons for story-time, board games, or cinematic nights. The adjacent dining table invites family breakfasts or evening feasts after exploring downtown. Behind the surf-board art and beachy prints you’ll find thoughtful touches to keep you comfy during your trip.
Venture upstairs to discover four restful bedrooms designed to cradle everyone from hip teens to grandparents in comfort. Crisp white linens, soft coastal textures, and little accents like sea-creature hooks and tropical prints create a calm yet playful tone. Each room promises a restful night so the next day’s adventure begins fresh.
Outside, the private pool becomes the scene–a turquoise canvas for cannonballs, pool floats, cool cocktails, and starlit swims. The fenced yard means peace of mind for parents, and the loungers invite slow afternoons while kids splash and explore. With the home just around the corner from Magnolia Ave, you’re free to stroll to charming cafés, ice cream shops, historic sites and vibrant streets after your poolside recharge.
From sunrise beach walks to sunset burgers, home-base feels like a resort yet sits in the heart of walkable downtown St. Augustine—an effortless blend of adventure and ease. Bring your flip-flops, board games, families large or small, and let this home be the place where you reconnect, recharge, and rediscover why beach memories last a lifetime.
Guest Access:
You’ll have full exclusive access to the entire house and private pool—no shared spaces. Use of parking for 3 vehicles is included. We’ll provide self-check-in instructions so you arrive without fuss. Feel free to use the kitchen, laundry, and dining spaces as your own—everything is designed for families to relax and feel at home.
The Neighborhood:
You’re tucked just off Magnolia Avenue in downtown St. Augustine—one of the city’s most charming and walkable neighborhoods. Magnolia, often described as “one of the 10 most photogenic streets in America,” adds a postcard-perfect pulse to your getaway.
Walk a few minutes to the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park for a historic morning stroll, or wander into the heart of town where cobbled lanes, boutique shops, family-friendly restaurants and ice cream stops await.
The nearby beaches, marinas and kayak launches make water-play effortless. Whether you’re chasing paddle-board sunsets or exploring historic forts, this location gives you both central convenience and coastal ease.
Getting Around:
Because you’re centrally located, many of St. Augustine’s major attractions are within walking distance. You’ll find yourself leaving the car more often than you expect. For farther excursions (beach outings, state parks) your rental car or rideshare will make short work of it. The local hop-on/hop-off Old Town Trolley Tours stops throughout downtown offer fun and easy access to over 100 points of interest.
Parking is available onsite so you can park up to 3 vehicles upon arrival and treat each day like a walkable vacation. For families, having the home as a base means the pool, kitchen and calm end-of-day wrap-up happen effortlessly without extra travel.
Other Things to Note:
Furry friends are welcome for a fee of $100 per pet.
Any cancellation refund issued will be less the cost of payment processing fees incurred (these are typically 4%, but vary by booking platform). Because payment processing fees are incurred at the time the reservation is made and are not refunded by the payment processor, we must subtract this amount from any refund that we issue.
We require both a waiver and ID upload prior to receiving check-in instructions. You are welcome to request the waiver terms prior to booking if interested.
