Welcome to the San Rafael Beach Retreat! This house is located less than a five minute drive to the beach and very close to several local points of interest. There is plenty of room for the whole family to spread out!
The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought.
The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.
Per St Johns County regulations, only ten people are allowed per rental, not counting children 12-years-old or younger. That means this property is allowed up to 10 adults and the rest of the guests must be 12 and under.
If you have a large family and need a second location please inquire with the host about our other properties that are nearby.
The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.
We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

Smooth communication and check-in process. Lovely home with great outdoor space. Short drive to the beach, St George Street, and the Saturday farmer's market. Would 100% book again.

Thank you again for choosing us for your stay! We are so glad you enjoyed our home in St. Augustine and we hope to host you again.
The house was very clean, the layout of bedrooms was perfect and furnishings were comfortable. Our overall stay was very good. However, I would like to offer some feedback that hopefully you find helpful. In my mind it would take the overall assessment from very good to excellent. Providing individual hotel size soap and shampoo, no need for hair conditioner or lotions, would be preferred to one large bottle of shampoo in each bathroom. Towels were insufficient for 7 travelers--we only had 7 bath towels, 6 hand towels and 6 face cloths. Small plastic trash receptacles in each bedroom, seems like a basic need. When we arrived water was running into the pool, we looked for a shut off handle and none was apparent. We woke in the morning to see the pool very close to overflowing and the hose had come out of the pool and was flooding the patio because the water coming out of the hose was at a much faster rate than the night before. I did call the maintenance number and the gentleman who answered was very helpful.

We are glad this guest enjoyed her stay! We provide a large bottle of shampoo in each bathroom for guests, we don't provide the little travel ones as they are bad for the environment. Having a large bottle is a more sustainable choice. The towel count is provided in the amenity section of the listing as well as information we send at booking. If the count doesn't match when the guest arrives, then guests should reach out to us and we will have the cleaners fix the count. We are very responsive hosts and address guest requests quickly.
