About this property

Comfy classic 50’s Florida home close to beaches and downtown St. Augustine

Summary:
Our home is a Florida style house with oak floors, large fully-equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, 1 3/4 baths, open living/dining area, beautiful fenced backyard under a large magnolia and Spanish moss-draped live oak trees. The home is located in a quiet neighborhood approximately one mile to historic uptown St Augustine and two miles from downtown downtown St. Augustine, and is two miles from Vilano Beach and Porpoise Point

Details:
This Fullerwood Drive home is classic late 50’s Florida style house. The house is large and bright with a spacious feel. Well-placed windows provide pleasant views shaded by Spanish moss-draped live oak and magnolia trees on a double lot. The Fullerwood area is a quiet neighborhood one block from the marsh on the Intracoastal Waterway with sidewalks and friendly neighbors to complete this old Florida setting. The Fullerwood quarter is famous for its diversity of architecture and its history. The home has two bedrooms, 1 and ¾ baths and sleeps four comfortably.

The drive from the house to historic downtown St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, or to beautiful Vilano Beach is less than five minutes. Or you can take a 30 minute walk to downtown past famous historical locations, cool and unique souvenir and gift shops, live acoustic music and delicious dining.

Features of the house include oak floors, heart pine cabinetry in the fully equipped kitchen, a classic bright Florida room for cozy time, carport, large paver patio equipped with patio furniture, tiled front porch, and proximity to all of St. Augustine’s attractions.

The large master bedroom has its own tiled three-quarter bath and is furnished with queen-sized bed, lots of drawer and closet space, and view of the aloe garden and the hundred-year old live oak trees in the large fenced back yard.

The full bathroom access is in the hallway between the bedrooms. The bathroom has been restored to its 50’s glory of pink and grey tile with large deep tub/shower combination.

The second bedroom is pleasant and comfy furnished with a double bed and lots of drawer and closet space.

The house is decorated with a fun eclectic mixed styles of décor, including rustic American and art deco. The Florida room is bright and airy, perfect for your morning coffee or sunset cocktail. The large kitchen is completed by a mid-20th century style wood divider with a sun-filled breakfast nook. Listen to the morning mockingbirds and watch the many other types of songbirds feed while relaxing in the breakfast nook or on the patio.

St. Augustine is unique in its captivating “Ancient City” architecture spanning over 450 years. Horse-drawn carriages and motor trains give great tours of the city. Enjoy sunset sails, pirate ship cruises, beachcombing, surfing, parasailing, and beach sunrise and sunset viewing! Explore and enjoy all St. Augustine offers from a comfortable and peaceful home base.

Great home in a great location
This is our second stay here. The home is a ranch on a double lot so the back yard is big. We have 2 dogs and they loved the yard. The home is very well equipped and it’s a fantastic location. The neighborhood is beautiful and the neighbors are very friendly. Walking the dogs usually meant having a nice conversation with some neighbors. Overall it’s a great rental. The owners reply promptly to any questions.

Old Florida charm in perfectly-located cozy home
If your destination is St. Augustine, this gem of a bungalow is a perfect place to stay. We stayed here for about six weeks and it was comfortable and pleasant. The master bedroom has a supportive good mattress. The fully-fenced backyard is huge and beautiful - the photos do not do it justice. The owners Deanna and Chris were wonderful to communicate with. The Fullerwood neighbourhood is beautiful and it's just a quick hop in the car to go downtown to see the many historical sights or dine in wonderful restaurants. Also, the house is just a few minutes' drive to gorgeous Vilano Beach. If location is important to you, you can't beat staying at this quaint lovely home.

Cozy home in great location.

Great place to visit St. Augustine
We loved location and overall property. The owners were very easy to communicate with. We were close to many of the places we wanted to visit and had lovely visits and dinners with our granddaughter and her husband. St. Augustine is a lovely place we had not been to before, but I'm sure we will return.

About the host

Hosted by Deanna Koebnick

Host profile image
We are Chris and Deanna Koebnick, and we spend winters and summers in Steamboat Springs, Colorado as musicians and small business owners. I(Deanna) am originally from Florida, I graduated from Jacksonville University, and I have a graduate degree from the University of Colorado. Chris is from Minneapolis, MN and went to Hamlin University. We live an unconventional lifestyle as we are self-employed and spend a lot of time making music for a living in two states.

Why they chose this property

Chris and I chose to have a home in St. Augustine because it is an interesting, historical and magical place for us and a place we have been visiting and enjoying for many years. We have tried to anticipate anything guests may need during their stay in our home.We love the historic neighborhood and the location of the house, close to everything downtown and two miles from the beach yet a quiet place to relax after a day of St. Augustine fun. Friendly neighbors and sidewalks through the lovely neighborhood, known for its varied architecture and beautiful old live oaks and magnolias also add to the charm of our house, built in 1959. You can often hear mockingbirds and other song birds as you sip your morning coffee.

We are adventurers and as a semi-native of St. Augustine, I am collecting tidbits, stories and locations of hidden places worth exploring! We are hoping you enjoy our respite from the everyday hassles of life to take some time and explore all the wonderful things St. Augustine has to offer from our quiet shelter.

What makes this property unique

This property is within walking distance from downtown, a short and lovely ride to the Vilano Beach over the Vilano Bridge with spectacular views of Porpoise Point, the Atlantic, the Intercoastal Waterway, and downtown St. Augustine. The 50's home has the original oak floors, heart wood pine kitchen cabinets with a fifties-type divider between the kitchen and the breakfast nook. We fell in love with the beautiful live oaks and magnolias on the double lot, the comfy and quiet back yard, and the front porch where friendly neighbors wave from the sidewalks during morning and afternoon walks. The many birds that sing and visit the feeder are also quite enchanting. In short, we think you will find this charming property a roomy and comfy place for your escape to St. Augustine, the Ancient City.
