The Space
THE SKINNY: This 4 bedroom home is situated a block from A1A, steps from the sand, water and boat ramp! The garage has been converted to an insane UV light reactive game room with vintage arcade games, pool/ping-pong table/lawn games, ring darts and Smart TV! Amazing morning sun is available in gobs on the pool patio. At the end of the block is the public boat launch into the intracoastal waterway, where you can glide up and down the main channel for picturesque views of St. Augustine, go fishing, or drop your anchor and take it all in!
The pool is heated and so is the attached spa. (Heat is $60/day or $350/wk) There are two raised patio areas facing the intracoastal, 1 covered and 1 uncovered. An electric grill is on site for grilling and the 3rd floor patio has lots of space for dining outdoors with water views! The 2nd floor covered patio is decked out with comfy patio furniture in the shade. Our brand new lounge furniture on the pool patio is perfect for the whole group to enjoy, plus a propane fire pit to boot for evening hang outs! 3 sun lounge chairs are perfectly positioned to soak up the rays. Enjoy your coffee in the shade or a drink in the sun! We can't wait to host you.

LAUNDRY SERVICE: We have laundry machines in the house but on vacation, it's up to you if you want to do laundry at all! If you would like to partake, our brand new commercial laundromat The Queen's Laundry is offering pick up and drop off wash-dry-fold service to the St. Augustine area. The cost is per pound and they will work out payment with you directly. They simply ask for 1 day's advanced notice for a pickup request and a 24 hour turnaround time for completing and returning your laundry.
SECURITY DEPOSIT: In lieu of a traditional security deposit charge or authorization hold for a large sum, we will instead charge a one-time non-refundable incidentals fee to your stay of $149. This fee acts as insurance for minor damages and covers you up to a max of $1500 of damage. You may elect to increase your incidentals fee for more coverage ($99 for $1000, $149 for $1500, $199 for $2000 and so on and so forth). *IMPORTANT: Guests must report to us any damage that has taken place during their stay before checkout, otherwise the incidental fee coverage is null and void. In this case, we reserve the right to charge the full amount of repairing or replacing the damaged items to you. Your insurance coverage amount ($500, $1000, $1500, etc) is not the max that you are responsible for. If damages exist beyond your coverage amount we will document this with photos and professional estimates of repair, and bill you for the repairs or replacements.

A close and convenience restaurant a few minutes drive north is one of my all time favorites! - Back 40 A1A! You have to try the Chimmichurri Steak Quesadilla and Jerk Chicken Tacos!
