About this property
Sunburst Cottage Beachside
Come and enjoy our beautiful beach side vacation rental. Built in 1955 this Old Florida style home beautifully appointed and newly remodeled is fully furnished. The house is East of A1A Beach Blvd so there are no roads to cross. ( not Oceanfront but less than 50 yards form the beach.)
The many features include brand new appliances in the full kitchen, washer dryer, two large bedrooms, fireplace,central air and heat, a living room with two comfortable couches as well as a front porch which has a day bed and converts to two twin beds.
There are 1 1/2 baths as well as an outside hot and cold shower. The outdoor deck has a built in Hot Tub. It is on a section of Saint Augustine Beach that does not allow driving on the Beach so it is less crowded and more private. We do allow dogs and St Augustine Beach Beach is very dog friendly.
It is a short walk to the fishing pier and 14 cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. Downtown Saint Augustine is a short ten minute drive.
Everyone loves our house. It is close to the Beach and everything Saint Augustine has to offer.

We were happy to spend time at the beach and it was the perfect location, close to several bars, restaurants and beach. My only suggestion would be to purchase beach towels, there were none. If people were flying in they would be hard pressed. And I would upgrade some of the kitchen utensils otherwise we had a great time!
Would stay again. Very close to beach. Close to restaurant's and grocery stores. Over all very good.

Nice and clean near the beach.
Comfortable for the 4 of us, very home like with lots of kitchen supplies and many bath towels. Loved the private deck with hot tub and shower. Great place for meals.
This is our 4th time staying at Sunburst Cottage. It’s quiet and comfortable. Home has everything you need and then some. Very short walk to the beach and places to eat. Michael is great to communicate with and so nice. I definitely recommend staying at Sunburst Cottage.
Sunburst cottage is centrally located but the week we were there they were replenishing the beach. The fishing pier didn't reach the ocean and we had to walk down the outside of the beach to get to the ocean. Other then that it was a great stay.
This cottage has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxed vacation! Really enjoyed the hot tub! Great for pets too! Loved the privacy of the back patio. I would definitely recommend!
The Sunburst Cottage was excellent. The close location to the beach was perfect for me and my wife and our dog. You will find everything you need at the Sunburst. Michael is a pleasure to work with. We look forward to staying here on our next trip to St. Augustine.
This is an old school beach bungalow. Steps from the beach. Very well decorated. Some modern renovations- but overall still that small beach cottage feel. We absolutely fell in love with it. It was perfect for our family of 4 with dogs. We love the area and have established our go-to spots when not at the beach. Owners were very nice in our limited communications. Great cottage!
Lovely property. Private, quiet, spacious and comfortable. Fully equipped with everything you need, down to bikes, games, books etc. Steps to the beach without having to cross any roads. Large walled patio with sun and shade. Ample parking. We had a great time here.
We've stayed here twice now and its a wonderful home. Just a few houses away from the beach and abouy 10min drive from downtown st augustine. This house gives you a glimpse into what it would be like to live at the beach. 10/10 recommended
We enjoyed our stay in the Sunburst Cottage, nice clean and very close to everything we did. Look forward to the next time. Oh ps Beach was beautiful!!!!
This was our second time staying at Sunburst Cottage and we absolutely enjoy the location to the beach and the ability to walk to several restaurants, ice-cream shops and the farmers market on the pier. The enclosed back deck with the hot tub is nice for relaxing in the morning or evening and being able to let our pup run around and play. This trip we met some very nice locals that let our dog play with theirs on the beach. We are hoping to return in the future.

About the host
Hosted by Michael Pounds
This was originally our family home. When we moved to a larger home we kept it as a rental since it is so close to the beach. Twelve years ago we converted it to a short term vacation rental. We own two gift shops in downtown Saint Augustine so having a Vacation rental is a good fit for us since we are have been in the Tourism business for 40 years. We enjoy sharing our knowledge and experience of the area with our guests.
Why they chose this property
Our house has been in our family for many years. We take pride in our ownership. It is well maintained and everything works. I have stayed in many vacation rentals around the country for many years. I have been disappointed more often than not. I have tried to use my experience to make your stay more enjoyable. I keep the hot tub hot and the grill always has gas. If there are problems we get on top of it.
