About this property

Charming home steps from the beach with enclosed yard and grill - dog-friendly

Beautifully appointed and minutes from the sand sits The Sandbox! Offering a serene Saint Augustine retreat for you and yours, this sun-filled home boasts an effortless indoor/outdoor living flow. Under the Florida sunshine, sit and sip in the enclosed backyard, complete with outdoor seating and a gas grill. When you'd prefer to explore the area, head for Fiesta Falls Miniature Golf, the St. Augustine Amphitheatre, Anastasia State Park, the St. Augustine Lighthouse, and St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park.

From the moment you walk inside, you'll feel right at home amidst high ceilings, plush furnishings, and tropical-themed mementos. While the chef of your group utilizes the kitchen's gleaming countertops and stainless steel appliances, you can tune into your favorite shows on the living room's Smart TV.

As comfortable as the last, the home's four bedrooms are places of pure peace with their high-quality linens, private TVs, and central air-conditioning. Additional interior perks include a Pack-N-Play, private washer/dryer, and internet access.

As the sun begins to set over paradise, head for the balcony where effortless yellow, pink, and orange hues can be relished.

Family Reunion Stay

Overall the impressions of the property was very enjoyable and very close to everything we needed, in our home away from home. The backyard was perfect for our furry family member. We were very thankful for the beach buggy and accessories in the outside beach box. The house was just beautiful and we would love to stay here again.

Great stay, close to the beach!

We visit SA frequently and like to try out different places. We loved this house! Very spacious and clean. Close proximity to the beach and communication with Candy was unparalleled. The only downfall is the proximity to the road and the noise from some of the bedrooms is easily heard. We would defiantly stay here again!

Annual family beach trip

Very nice house with well stocked kitchen and plenty of bathroom and beach towels. Bedrooms are nice sized and bathrooms are all double sinks. The location is good if you don’t mind a good walk. Fenced backyard was a plus! Lots of wonderful time spent with family.

Galand/Good Vacation

We very much enjoyed our stay in the Sandbox. The home was very clean and well appointed. It was very spacious for our family of seven and was an easy and short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the back porch especially in the early mornings and as shelter when we got stuck in the rain on the way back from the beach. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home with us, we would definitely stay again.

Moms weekend away

This place was clean, cute, and well maintained. The location to the beach was great, an easy walk. They provided a wagon and some camping chairs. Publix is 3 miles away and getting into and out of the historic part of St.Augustine was easy. The only downside was road noise, since the home is right off of A1A.

All good things

We had a great stay at Candy's property. It was nicely decorated, clean and had plenty of space. Though the weather didn't cooperate for our vacation, the property was only a short walk to the beach, and a quick drive into St. Augustine.

A disappointment

The house rules were NOT on the Vrbo site for how many cars to park. It was Not on the welcome package or the welcome printed package in the house. It was on a link in the first email I received from property manager, who never mention if don’t obey these rules you will have your stay cancelled and non refunded. Never does Vrbo. When we parked more than 4 cars, 2 on the city’s grass on the road -not on the property’s lawn, I admitted my mistake and hoped we could quickly adjust it. Instead the property manager was very angry, over talking my explanation, (eventually saying her contractor at the house was more important than the conversation with me). And without a warning or any grace told us to leave - canceled our reservation. I even asked to pay a fine over the mistake. But then oddly enough, she said we didn’t have to rush to get out - weird and confusing. Makes you wonderful if there was another booking for the next day. I will never use Vrbo again and I was share that with my network of family and friend. We as renters had no leverage and rights to meet a fair solution. In fact, whether the stay is for 2 days or 2 weeks, a third party allowing owners to decide a cancellation on the whim of a house rule for the whole totality of the stay, is arbitrary and greedy-dirty!

Response from VrboOwner on 27 November 2022
House rules were received by the guest and need to be acknowledged in order to book. Once booked VBRO automatically resends them. We have house rules and the town has laws concerning the number of cars parked which even override house rules. When we were alerted to this issue (by photos of a concerned neighbor) we contacted VBRO support. VBRO cancelled this reservation by one day. In the history of the house we never saw a need to do this. This violation could have resulted in pulling our transient rental license. We appreciate our guests and hope that they treat the property and county laws with respect.
