Welcome to Palmera St. Augustine, where the wide, sandy beach is a short walk from your door and a heated pool waits just inside the gate. It's a home built for families to be together and apart at the same time: two living rooms, four bedrooms with plush bedding (plus an optional fifth), and space for every generation to spread out. The home comes fully stocked, from the chef's kitchen to the beach gear, so your vacation starts the moment you arrive.
When the working members of the group need to check in, they can. The house has fiber-optic internet, several desks and comfortable chairs, and charging stations throughout. Everyone else can be off the clock: a big hammock, a fire pit, and a grill for the fresh catch. On rainy days, there's plenty to keep all ages busy, from arcade and board games, a poker table, Xbox, foosball, and karaoke, to a chef's kitchen for baking up something sweet with the kids.
LIVING & DINING The main living and dining area is open-concept and built for a group, with a large sectional sofa, a fireplace, a poker table, record player, and a 65" smart TV (Hulu, Disney, Prime Video, Roku, and local channels). A second living room has its own TV, fireplace, Bluetooth speaker, and karaoke, plus a quieter place to read. Between the two rooms, the family can have a loud game night and a calm retreat at the same time.
KITCHEN The kitchen has everything you need to cook for a full house: a Thermador induction cooktop, a convection microwave that doubles as a second oven, and a waffle and ice cream bar for treats. Coffee lovers have their pick of Keurig, drip, espresso, cappuccino, cold brew, French press, and pour-over. The butler's pantry holds a second full-size fridge, plenty of cabinet space, and a prep sink with extra counter for bigger meals.
LAUNDRY Also in the pantry: a full-size washer and dryer, drying rack, iron, steamer, and detergent.
BEDROOMS Every bedroom has cotton linens, a range of pillows, room-darkening shades, a fan, bedside charging, and a sound machine. The five bedrooms sleep up to 10 adults. Small children can also be accommodated on a pull-out sofa, toddler bed, and/or crib.
Bedroom 1 (King, en-suite): The primary suite has a king bed with a Casper mattress and Tempur-Pedic topper, a desk nook, a 50" smart TV, a walk-in closet, and a loveseat sitting area. The bathroom has a skylight, dual shower heads, a spa bench, on-demand hot water, and a European-style double vanity. A comfortable spot for grandparents or the booking couple.
Bedroom 2 (Office, 2 singles): Direct pool access, with an optional safety latch on the pool door, plus a proper workspace: a two-tier desk, whiteboard, 40" smart TV, Xbox, and a daybed with trundle that makes two twins when you need the beds.
Bedroom 3 (Queen): Direct pool access with a pool-door alarm, a Casper queen mattress and Tempur-Pedic topper, a 40" smart TV, makeup mirror, and custom closet.
Bedroom 4 (King): Set apart from the other rooms, next to the second living room, with pool access, a Casper king and Tempur-Pedic topper, desk, full-length mirror, and closet. A quiet spot to wind down, and a good choice for anyone who wants a little separation from the main bedrooms.
Bedroom 5 (Casita, King): A detached building off the back patio overlooking the outdoor dining area, with a Casper king and Tempur-Pedic topper, smart TV, fireplace, small desk, and its own heat and A/C. It's a favorite for teens and young adults who want their own space and don't mind that the bathroom is in the main house. Available by request, higher cleaning fee applies, so please confirm at time of booking.
BATHROOMS A tankless gas water heater means hot water on demand. Alongside the primary en-suite, there's a hall bathroom with a standup shower, spa bench, safety grab bar, skylight, and plenty of towels.
OUTDOORS The heated pool greets you as you enter the front gate, welcoming you to sink into a shaded cabana and listen to the palms swaying nearby. We heat it at no extra charge through the cooler months, so it's ready whenever you are. The home is stocked with pool towels so you can settle in the moment you arrive. Just beyond, the backyard is its own retreat: a grill, outdoor dining for twelve, a fire pit, and a hammock strung up for slow evenings. The beach is a short walk, and you'll find sand-free towels and blankets, an XL sun shade, chairs, a wheeled cooler, games, and a wagon to haul it all.
FITNESS Start the morning with yoga by the pool or keep up your strength with the free weights. The neighborhood is quiet, with two closed loops that naturally limit traffic, making it highly walkable and perfect for a stroll. You'll see friendly neighbors out walking their dogs throughout the day. Just at the neighborhood entrance you'll find a gym, a hot pilates studio, and bike rentals, with a sidewalk along A1A that runs more than five miles north for an easy, uninterrupted ride. E-bikes can also be delivered right to the house for free.
GETTING AROUND St. Augustine Beach and historic downtown are both a short drive, and Butler Beach, just across from the neighborhood, is open to 4x4s. Our closest beach access also has free beachfront parking, covered picnic tables, restrooms, and seasonal lifeguards. When you get back, a circular driveway plus a bonus pad fits up to 5 vehicles, or 3 to 4 cars with a small boat or RV.
PAWMENITIES We're a dog-friendly home and set up for it: crates, bowls, feeding mats, towels, blankets, poop bags, grooming tools, and pet-safe cleaners. If you don't have dogs or can't bring yours this trip, don't let our paw-friendly policy be a cause of concern. Our cleaning protocol is top notch, and we encourage you to check out our reviews or message us with any questions.

My family and I had a wonderful time on our vacation! I highly recommend this rental. The location was great and the host thought of everything, even had a waffle maker and fresh ground coffee and tea! The pool was relaxing and the backyard was cozy and safe for children and pets.
We loved our private little oasis! This property did not disappoint. Was perfect for our multi - generational vacation! We all loved the pool and home decor! The place was stocked with everything you could possibly need.We highly recommend this property and will definitely book a future visit.
This house definitely has everything you need! Fully stocked kitchen and bathroom. Everything was very clean and well thought out. The backyard isn’t as nice as the pictures, but the front pool area is super cute. The rooms were very comfortable, the master bedroom is huge, but the house itself is much smaller than we expected. Overall, it was a wonderful stay and we all had a great time. I would definitely stay here again!

Wow, thank you for the 5 stars! We're so glad you enjoyed the location, decor, and the pool mural. Congrats on the engagement!!
We had an amazing stay and would absolutely book again! The hosts were truly 5-star—thoughtful, responsive, and clearly dedicated to making guests feel welcome.The location was perfect, and the heated pool was such a great bonus. One of the biggest highlights for us was arriving late and still having snacks and even breakfast options ready to go—the waffle bar and coffee bar were such a thoughtful touch and made a huge difference after a long day of travel.Check-in was incredibly smooth and stress-free, which we really appreciated. The home was also very family-friendly, with plenty of games and accommodations for kids. As remote working parents, this setup was ideal and made balancing work and family time so much easier.Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming stay!
We all had such a great time. The location is perfect. The house has everything you need for a fantastic beach vacation. The pool was so conventient and super clean. Tracie was fabulous. Planning on going back next May. Great restaurants near by. Try the cuban place right near the house, yummy breakfast. You can drive on the beach and everywhere is pet friendly

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled you had such a great time and enjoyed the location, pool, and nearby spots.
This house was perfect for our family of 6, our 4 kids each had their own rooms and the owner allowed us to bring our pets. Close enough to the beach to walk but it was great that we could park on the beach and our pets were allowed on the beach as well since they are like our family. We had a great week, the house had everything we needed and we were sad that the week was over so quickly. The owner was very responsive to any questions or needs we had and we will likely book this property again!

We're so glad you enjoyed the easy beach access, we love it too! Come back soon :)
Tracie 's house is the best. The amenities are non ending. From the heated pool to the arcade games, foosball,and multiple big T V's, you can not ask for anything more.
The host is quick to respond to any questions and has helpful suggestions about the area.
The house was spotless inside and out and the neighborhood is beautiful. It took us 9 minutes to walk to the beach, but we had 2 slow dogs with us. I can highly recommend staying here.

About the host
Hosted by Tracie Fowler
As a frequent traveler, I know the difference between a place to stay and a place you never want to leave. That standard shapes how I host, right down to the smallest detail.
I'm drawn to slow travel and immersion in local culture. Great food, time in nature, and a slower pace are central to how I live, and I bring that same sense of calm into every home I host.
When I'm not hosting, you'll find me on the pickleball court with my husband, swimming laps, or spending time with our three dogs.
Why they chose this property
The neighborhood backs up to the Intracoastal Waterway and sits just across A1A from the Atlantic, so a lovely breeze carries through at nearly all hours. It's a tranquil, close-knit setting where neighbors are friendly and look after one another.
Days here move slowly. Take a leisurely walk or bike ride through the quiet streets, where children play outside and neighbors are out walking their dogs. If you didn't bring bikes, there's a rental right at the community entrance.
What makes this property unique
Palmera simply feels like vacation from the moment you arrive. The pool sits in a private front courtyard, fully enclosed by a six-foot privacy wall, so you're stepping into resort-style, private amenities before you even open the front door. The wall is wrapped in a custom 30-foot tropical mural designed by me and hand-painted by a local artist, complete with a roseate spoonbill in flight, so the courtyard feels like its own hidden oasis.
The floor plan is ideal for groups. The primary bedrooms sit on opposite ends of the house, and two living rooms flank the chef's kitchen, so everyone can be together while doing their own thing. It's easy to gather, and just as easy to find a quiet corner, without anyone feeling crowded.
