The owner was always available if I had any questions. Loved how open and cute the home was decorated. House was in a quiet neighborhood and easy to get to everything. Would definitely stay here again

About the host
Hosted by Serafima Mehan
Hey there! I’m beach lover, sunset chaser, and your laid-back host. I believe every trip should feel easy and stress-free, so I’ve made my place cozy, clean, and full of good vibes. Come stay, unwind, and explore!
Why they chose this property
Why did you choose this neighborhood? I chose this neighborhood because it’s truly the best of both worlds. Coquina Ave sits in a quiet, friendly part of Anastasia Island, yet it’s just minutes from everything people love about St. Augustine. You’re close enough to bike or walk over the iconic Bridge of Lions into historic downtown, but still tucked away in a peaceful residential area that feels relaxing and safe.
What I enjoy most about the neighborhood I love the laid-back island vibe here — palm trees, coastal breezes, and neighbors who actually wave hello. I enjoy how close we are to the beaches, local shops, and hidden gems you won’t find in the tourist guides. In the evenings, the whole area feels calm and cozy, perfect for winding down after a day of exploring. It’s the kind of place where you can start your morning with a walk to the water and end it with a quiet sunset at home.
What makes this property unique
This home stands out because it blends the charm of St. Augustine with the relaxed feel of island living. The moment you arrive, you’re greeted with bright, open spaces, cozy coastal decor, and a layout that feels both welcoming and stylish. It’s designed for easy living — whether you’re sipping coffee on the patio, enjoying the peaceful neighborhood, or coming back from a day of exploring.
What truly makes it unique is the location. You’re just 3 minutes to historic downtown and 5 minutes to the beach — a rare mix that gives you quick access to everything without the noise or crowds. You can walk or bike over the Bridge of Lions, explore the city's charm, then return to a quiet, comfortable home that feels like your own private retreat.
It’s the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and coastal vibe — a hidden gem on Anastasia Island.
