White Sands
Great house — super comfortable with plenty of space for everyone. The rooms are spacious, and there are enough restrooms for everyone to get ready at the same time. The kitchen is spacious and well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals for a group. The convenient beach access is a huge plus, and it's just a short walk to a fantastic ice cream shop — perfect for treating yourself after a long day at the beach.
We really enjoyed our stay in this beautiful and spacious home. Very clean and functional layout. We really enjoyed the kitchen space and dining space for a large group. Offering heated pool as an add on was a great plus. Great communication and response time with the management group!
This house worked great for our Thanksgiving family gathering of 11 people spanning 3 generations. Easy access to the beach was key and when the weather turned we enjoyed the protected pool and hot tub area. The third story main floor has a spacious and inclusive open floor plan with great decks and peeks of ocean views.
We loved this property. This was our second stay here and the house is great! Short walk to the beach, a nice pool, fun games downstairs, great sleeping arrangements, and large area for gathering in third floor.
Absolutely wonderful stay at White Sands Retreat!! Loved the location…short walk to the beach. Loved that every bedroom had an en-suite! Perfect for our needs.
The property exceeded all expectations. The location was a short walk from the beach and an easy drive to downtown. The best part was the view from the deck of the fireworks display at the beach on NYE!
This property was absolutely AMAZING! It was everything we could have ever hoped for and more. The location is perfect and there's so much space for everyone. We loved staying here and would highly recommend.
We had the BEST time. GREAT location to restaurants, beach, pool was fantastic! Would highly recommend to any large group of people. House is furnished very comfortably. Thanks again!
We had a great time here. Although there were a few issues with electricity and tv remotes, the hosts were able to get us what we needed quickly.

Lovely!
Perfect in every way! We looooooved the house! Clean, beautiful, roomy, and perfect location. It had everything we needed. It was a perfect stay for my family. The beach equipment was great and the walk to the beach was so easy. Would do it again. Highly Recommend
Beautiful home that was spotless, close to the beach and perfect for the family. Brought 9 adults down and wasn't disappointed. St. Augustine beach was close, not crowded and a pleasure to visit. All the rooms were well appointed with new appliances, kitchenware and very comfortable. Outside pool was clean, private and a nice break from the hot beach. Had a small issue with the refrigerator but owners were extremely accommodating and fixed issue immediately. Would definitely stay here again!
We had an absolutely amazing time at this home. Such a short walk to the beach. Within walking distance of many cool shops and restaurants!
The home is beautiful! Modern, clean, spacious, and comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked. Beds are so comfy. The elevator was so helpful for our family. The private pool is wonderful!
We can’t say enough great things about this property, the location, the owners, ect. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed!

Perfect home for a crowd!
This home is spectacular! The entire upper floor is a perfect space to host a large group for meals. The dining table seats 12 and there are 6 barstools. There is a large sectional couch and the space is totally open concept. The bedrooms and bathrooms are ample in size and comfort. Each bedroom is an en suite with a bathroom. The closets have organizers inside and have hangers. No detail was ignored in this home. The outdoor space is lovely - the pool was a perfect spot for gathering and enjoying the Florida weather. Just across the street from the beach and an easy 5 minute walk. This home is perfection! And the house managers are very responsive and helpful.
This property was perfect for us. We had 9 adults and 6 children and everyone was very comfortable. Having a bath for every bedroom and 2 dishwashers was the best! It is clean and well stocked with everything you need for the beach, the pool and the kitchen. So convenient to the beach. No problem for even the little ones to walk there and their favorite was the ice cream shop close by. Would definitely stay there again.
