Embrace the essence of coastal living in this classic 3 br home. Directly on the beach, this home features spectacular views and plenty of space to make lasting memories. The Space: Welcome to “Summer Breeze”. This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath town home sits right on the beach and is available for your next vacation. When you enter on the 2nd floor, you find yourself in the main living area. Here, you have a fully stocked kitchen, complete with stainless appliances, granite counter tops, and all of the cookware and dinnerware you could need. There’s even a wine cooler to keep your favorite vino just the right temperature. The dining and living area are an open room. The dining table seats 6 and there is stool seating for 4 at the breakfast bar. The living area features a comfy leather sofa, love seat and recliner. There is a powder room on this floor, with a sink and toilet. Off of the living area is an oceanfront balcony with seating. All of the bedrooms are upstairs. The primary bedroom has a king bed, TV, dresser, and an ocean front balcony. The primary bathroom has a step-in shower. The 2nd bedroom also has a king bed, TV, dresser, and access to the oceanfront balcony. The 3rd bedroom has a bunk bed, consisting of two full-over-full mattresses. There is also a TV in this bedroom. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms share a full bathroom with a shower/tub combination. There is a new overlook deck stationed on top of the dune. This is a great place to lay out and work on your tan, or enjoy some afternoon beverages as the sun sets. At the moment, St. Johns County is not allowing us to build any stairs through the dune to the beach, so you walk down the sand “ramp” that we have dug out. This may be difficult for those who have mobility issues, but doesn’t appear to be causing issues for most of our guests. Experience the beauty of sandy shores where you can swim, sunbathe, surf, paddleboard, and fish. Take leisurely walks along the beach to discover treasures like shark teeth, sand dollars, and sea glass. Explore Anastasia State Park for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, birdwatching, and picnicking in a stunning coastal setting. Discover the rich history of Historic St. Augustine by visiting landmarks like Castillo de San Marcos, St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, and the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. Stroll down St. George Street, a pedestrian only thoroughfare in the heart of the historic district, lined with charming shops, restaurants, galleries, and historic sites. Immerse yourself in the Gilded Age at the Lightner Museum, housed in a historic hotel, showcasing a diverse collection of art, antiques, and artifacts. Experience the thrill of getting up close to alligators, crocodiles, and exotic animals at St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, which also offers educational shows, zip lines, and exhibits of native Florida wildlife. Take a scenic short ferry ride to Fort Matanzas National Monument, a historic Spanish fort located on Rattlesnake Island. Learn about its role in protecting St. Augustine during the colonial period while enjoying views of the surrounding marshlands. Indulge in delicious cuisine at the many restaurants in St. Augustine, cafes, and eateries. From fresh seafood to international fare, there is something to satisfy every palate, including popular spots like 180 Vilano Grill and Pizza, Briskys BBQ, and Beaches at Vilano.

The location is absolutely unbeatable—right on the beach, making it so convenient to step outside and enjoy the ocean. The house is very clean, and the beds are super comfortable, which made for restful nights.While the home could use a little updating here and there, everything was functional, and it had a cozy charm. We did have an issue with the coffee maker, but the management was quick to respond and replaced it with a brand-new one right away—great service!Overall, we had a great time and would recommend it for anyone looking for a beachfront getaway. ##### Sandra H.

Its proximity to restaurants, stores, and downtown St. Augustine is also perfect. It appears that all the issues from previous posts had been addressed except the sliding door on the main level. I would also suggest a few additional updates such as the TVs, upstairs flooring, master bathroom shower door & sink, and the hot water heater. Overall I enjoyed my stay and would definitely stay here again. ##### Anthony P.

The outside was pretty tired looking though but tough to keep up being on the ocean. The door code did not work but we called property manager and that was quickly resolved. Need to show unit letter in address. We really loved the unit and location. ##### Sandra S.

Was unaware of this and when asked property manager she simply stated she didn’t have to tell me. Found a huge roach)palmetto bug. which is a roach)running across the bathroom. Windows weren’t cleaned. Had to clean them myself to enjoy the view. Other than that, wonderful location. ##### Vicki M.

Modern furnishings and well apponinted kitchen. Plenty of towels & linens. Phenomenal beachfront location with 2 beach view bedrooms with balconies and balcony off the dining area as well. This is a 2nd floor entrance with another flight from ground level down to beach. May not be suitable for those with mobility issues. The stairwell to the beach was under construction for the first few days of our stay, the oven needed cleaned (something in the bottom smoked up the place our first night there while heating a frozen pizza) and the windows could use regular cleaning...otherwise I would have rated 5 stars across the board. We loved the quiet location - which is only about 15 minutes to Historic St. Augustine. Check out instructions we're minimal and very reasonable. We are already planning a return trip! ##### Kelly F.

Location was good. Morning view and beach access great. ##### GayLynn L.

It was nice to be able to bring our dog and not stress over kennel service. We would absolutely recommend staying here again and to others. ##### Cathryn M.
