Perfect place for a St. Augustine getaway! The home was clean, cozy, and in an amazing location. Being able to walk to the beach and grab dinner from The Elkhouse Eatery just steps away was such a bonus — highly recommend stopping there!Quiet neighborhood, comfortable accommodations, and a great host. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to return soon.

Why they chose this property

We chose this neighborhood for its laid-back island atmosphere and unbeatable proximity to the beach. Located on Anastasia Island, the area around Costanero Road feels peaceful and residential, with palm-lined streets, ocean breezes, and a true coastal rhythm that instantly puts you at ease.

What we enjoy most is how easy it is to enjoy the outdoors—whether it’s walking to the beach, biking along the island, or catching a colorful sunrise or sunset nearby. You’re close to local dining and the charm of historic St. Augustine, yet tucked away enough to relax, unplug, and truly enjoy the slower pace of beach living.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home unique is its perfect blend of relaxed coastal living and thoughtful design in a peaceful Anastasia Island setting. Just moments from the beach, the property offers a true island escape while still being close to dining, attractions, and historic St. Augustine.

The home is designed for comfort and connection, with inviting indoor spaces, easy outdoor living, and details that make stays feel effortless. Whether you’re enjoying ocean breezes, unwinding after a beach day, or gathering with family and friends, this property stands out as a welcoming retreat that captures the best of laid-back coastal life.
