Lovely Home

We visited for three nights and had a wonderful stay. You can’t beat the view that comes with the home being placed directly on the beach. The house is clean and the host was very friendly and gave several suggestions to make our girls trip the absolute best. I would highly recommend.

Family Weekend

I spent the weekend at this property with my wife and extended family to visit friends in the area and could not have been more pleased with the accommodations. The house was more than enough space for 8 of us and the location was perfect. We make this trip annually and I will definitely consider staying here again next year.

Wonderful Experience

We had a fantastic time during our stay. The home is situated on what feels like a private beach. The entire process was a breeze and my family loved our time at the home. Everything was clean and well-equipped. I highly recommend - the view alone is worth it. And you are incredibly close to St. Augustine and to a grocery store. Great for families - my children ages 2 and 5 loved it, and my parents were able to enjoy the mornings viewing the waves. It made our pre-Disney World beach experience perfect.

Family getaway

Great house!!!Elevator great for older family members. The area in back to the beach is alittle steep for older members, but just sitting on the deck and watching the waves is priceless. Everything is a close drive. Communication was easy and helpful. Would suggest to anyone and would come back again. Thank you!

Perfect for family vacation

We stayed here for a family vacation to the beach and had the best time. The house is right on the beach as pictured, beautiful view and so convenient when trying to do a beach day with kids. We saw dolphins from the porch several times and one evening a huge sea turtle on the beach. Short distance to downtown St Augustine and a Publix right down the road as well. Highly recommend this property!

Great Family Spring Break

Stayed for 1 week with 4 adults and 6 children 8 and under. The setup and space of the 2 story living arrangements were ideal for 2 families. The wrap around porch allowed excellent views of the beach, sunrise, and sunset. The location was great and allowed quick access to downtown St Augustine. Overall we were very pleased.

Summer 2024

This was one of the best places that we have stayed at. The property is well maintained and has a fantastic view. The beach front is just what we had hoped for. The host, Marla, exceeded all expectations that we had. Unfortunately part of our stay was during a tropical storm but Marla checked on us and kept us posted. Really made us feel safe and informed. We will be back in the future.

Perfect beach property

We had an amazing time! The house was great! Plenty of room for our two families. We had 4 adults and 5 kids. Having two king rooms is nice for multiple families. The house was well stocked and it was in a great location. We felt like we were on a private beach! We will definitely stay here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Marla K.

Host profile image
As the name "Serenity Now" suggests, we are big fans of Seinfeld. We live for the belly ache laughter found with good friends while on vacation together. House boating, New Orleans, Cabo, African safaris and music festivals are our favorites. Whether it's a girls trip, guys trip or family vacation, travel is our number one guilty pleasure. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it must be clean, comfortable, offer good food, interesting sites and fun activities.

Why they chose this property

We searched all of Florida to find the perfect location. St. Augustine is eclectic, historic and young at heart. Flagler College contributes to the academic and artistic vibe. Old moss trees and spanish architecture make it beautiful. Great music festivals and concerts flow through the town. Farm/sea to table restaurants offer wonderful eateries. Golf, NASCAR, and football are nearby. Our beach is pristine with a long stretch of white sand that is practically private. The ocean behind our home is perfect for swimming, fishing, and offers a terrific break for boogie boarding and surfing without being dangerous for little kids.

What makes this property unique

We bought and remodeled this home to meet what we would want if we were renting a vacation home: space for the kids to hang out, an elevator to make life easy for the grandparents or those who can't walk stairs, a long covered porch perfect to shade the babies while allowing mom to be part of the action, enough sleeping space for multiple families, and a hot outdoor shower at sunset! Just walk down our back stairs and you are on the beach- NO long walk over dunes to get to the beach- ultra convenient!
