Our condo is ready for a long or short term stay. When you walk into the kitchen, you will find every manner of small appliance that you'll need to cook for yourselves. The closet is stocked with games, puzzles, and books for your enjoyment. The TV in the master is "smart" so that you can use your Amazon Prime or Netflix if the cable choices aren't enough! Our wifi is upgraded to make working from your beach house easy. We continuously evaluate what we can add or change to make the unit even more suitable for the perfect holiday. Ambiance, view, and little extras that will help you relax and have more fun. Because that's what vacation should be- right? Relaxation and fun!
Bright, airy, comfortable, newly painted, and attractive, this two bedroom/two bath condo provides a relaxing retreat from the wear and tear of daily life. Lying in bed in the master bedroom or sitting on the couch in the living room, you will have a wide view of the Atlantic and be able to hear its restful music. (Isn’t there just something about listening to the waves that puts life’s troubles in perspective?) Polywood bistro table and Adirondack chairs, a two/three person glider, and a comfortable rocker on the generously sized, north-facing balcony furnish a shady retreat on which to sit and sip coffee or sodas while watching the kids in the pools, the dolphins play with each other, or the sea gulls chase the shrimp boats.
On rainy days, guests can watch DVD’s in either bedroom or in the living room. A large plasma TV hangs on the wall across from the bed in the master - a favorite feature for some of our guests. The living room also features a 42 inch plasma TV for your entertainment desires. The master & living room both have cable, of course. We keep a small collection of classic DVDs in case the cable goes out after a big storm, which rarely happens but we like to be prepared!
With a comfortable California King-Sized bed, the master is a haven. The bedside table even sports a charging station in the top drawer for all your electronic devices or your Cpap machine. Hopefully this will enable our guests to remember their cords better.
The master also has enough dressers and drawers for guests to put away all of their clothing, odds and ends. Hopefully this will enable you to unwind in a clean, uncluttered space so that your mind and spirit can rest and breathe during your time of respite. Other additions to keep our guests comfortable and happy are small fans for each bedroom so that those of you who always pack a fan for the white noise can leave one more thing at home.
The kitchen comes fully equipped with coffee maker, coffee grinder, French press, pod coffee maker, blender, mixer, crock pot, air fryer, waffle maker, egg cooker, rice cooker, stovetop Moka espresso maker, espresso cups, a milk frother, cookware, utensils, bakeware, glassware, a number of basic spices, starter coffee pods, tea bags, and creamer/sugar, dinner service and flatware for those who enjoy (gasp!) actually cooking on their holidays. (I do.) Thanksgiving and Christmas guests will even find a turkey roaster to prepare their holiday meals. We even have an electric kettle for our European friends.
You’ll also find a small laundry room inside the unit with washer/dryer/ironing board/iron for your convenience. Spacious closets allow you to unpack and put away the suitcases so you don’t spend your vacation tripping over STUFF! Each bath contains hand soap at the sink, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in each shower, toothbrushes and small toothpaste, and a hair blower. We try not to skimp and leave you without something you need, thus you can usually find laundry pods, trash bags both big and small, starter paper goods, and so on. I think you’d be hard pressed to find another condo this size and price that has so much available for you. Just bring your clothes and food! As hosts, we go stay ourselves occasionally just taking food and clothing to see if anything is lacking. It’s not! Our most common guest review is that we have EVERYTHING.
Beach chairs and fun, colourful beach towels are all provided so that you don’t have to pack the farm when you travel. Try the Turkish beach towels that dry quickly and don’t hold sand. Super luxurious and comfortable. We have also left a small collection of pastimes for your enjoyment. Boogie boards, beach toys, cutesie little things for kids to search for in the pool, kites, two beach umbrellas, fishing poles, bait buckets, ice chests, etc are also kept in the closet on the balcony. Our balcony closet also sports one of those cool and useful beach carts into which you can load all of the above mentioned items and roll it down to the beach on wide wheels that won't get bogged down in the sand! I'm not sure how many two bedroom condos provide so many great things for their guests and it makes us happy to be able to do so. Of course, it does happen that our guests forget what they brought and what was already in the condo, so sometimes those items walk away. Though we can’t promise they’re still there, all of these items were in the condo last time we visited. And, of course, all linens for bed and bath are provided- high thread count sheets and big fluffy towels add small touches that will make you more cozy and comfy. Due to fire codes, we are no longer able to provide a barbecue grill for our guests to use on the balcony. We apologize for the inconvenience.
If you admire any of our things, I’ll be happy to provide links for you to purchase them. We’ve experienced some heavy seasons of theft of the nice things we try to provide for our guests. Because of this, we’ve had to begin to keep an inventory that housekeeping checks after check out. Guests will be charged for the items that disappear. We hate this unpleasantness, but our finances can no longer support restocking items that are stolen at our own expense. We will add a $100 fee plus the cost of the appliance or linens to our VRBO claim if we discover theft. If you get home and realize you accidentally put a towel of ours in your luggage, please don’t worry, just email me and mail it back. Mistakes happen.
We are constantly upgrading our furnishings to keep the condo a bright and happy place to be. From the coverlets on the beds to the sofa in the living room, return guests are surprised by the new things they discover here each year.
The complex in which this condo is located, St. Augustine Beach and Tennis Condos, is an ocean front complex just 2/10 of a mile from the famous Oasis Grille. The wide beach is only 300 feet from the condo across a private, coded access boardwalk. It is 3/10 of a mile to Winn Dixie and half a mile to the Publix grocery store. The historic district is only five miles away; the pier 2 miles. A third floor unit with access to two elevators, luggage carts, and grocery baskets, it is easy entry and exit. It has a reputation for being family friendly rather than for attracting the party crowd, and the little courtyard is beautifully landscaped and inviting. You will find the complex clean, well maintained, and attractive with its two large pools.
Through no fault of ours, the twin bedroom has no cable. When the complex changed companies, they were not able to wire for that room. Guests can use the TV for videos or games.
If you are interested in our cleaning protocols, feel free to ask.
If the tax rate changes or if the cleaners change our cleaning price, we will adjust the fees accordingly. These things are out of our control.
Please give us a try! You won’t be disappointed! Read our reviews for proof!

About the host
Hosted by Pat Dexter
We were missionaries in China for 20 years and have a large family- 8 children, 16 grands so far! We love the Lord Jesus, God's Word, and His creation. It is our pleasure to serve Him together. We have our feet firmly planted in two continents with one foot in Asia and the other in America since we have one daughter adopted from China, three Asian daughters-in-law, an Asian son-in-law, and we are Americans. We've decided that until we get to Heaven our hearts will never be in just one place again!
Since returning from China in 2022, we’ve settled in Jacksonville where we are near our local family and church. We like being near enough to enjoy the condo and the beach ourselves on occasion and find it easier to handle small matters when necessary. Having had this little slice of Heaven for almost two decades now, we really do feel blessed to be able to share it with others. Our goal is to serve each person as if we were serving Christ Himself, and we’re honored that the reviews reflect that!

Why they chose this property
When our parents passed away a number of years ago, we found ourselves with no place to stay when we visited America, so we used our inheritances from them to purchase this home away from home. This particular condo captured us because of the wonderful view and the aesthetically pleasing recent renovations. It provides all the comforts of home for us when we got to come to the states and by renting it to guests between times, we were able to pay the high costs of maintaining it. We consider it a very special gift from our parents, who always took such good care of us and continue to do so even after they're gone, through this wonderful provision. This place is a haven for our family, as we hope it will be to our guests. Thus the name- Hope Haven. It is our prayer that each guest will leave with an increased level of hope and peace.
What makes this property unique
We love lying in the bed or sitting on the sofa and looking at/listening to the beautiful ocean. Seeing blue skies and the ocean every day is just wonderful after months of white/gray smog filled skies and city noises! You may take fresh air and clean smells for granted but we don't! We enjoy the comfortable furnishings which are attractive but uncluttered. Because the condo is our personal home away from home, we know what travellers need to make their stays easier and more convenient. Our kids love the wide open spaces, running on the strand, swimming in the pools,and enjoying God's creation. Our balcony furniture makes that space a joy and a pleasure! The condo itself and the entire complex is well maintained, which always makes our time there especially pleasant! We take great joy in outfitting our condo in such a way that our guests have everything they need to enjoy a beach vacation. This makes it a delightful place for US to stay in when we're in America as well, because we are so comfortable and provided for on every level! And it is in a location where walkers can take long walks on the beach without running into retaining walls. The pier is a 2 mile walk each way; Publix is 1 mile away; Winn Dixie is 3/10 of a mile away; and a restaurant is only 2/10 away. So we have loved being able to walk around without getting into the car. It brings us back to simpler times, perhaps!
