About the host
Hosted by Mike & Karyn Carter
Your hosts, Mike & Karyn Carter, purchased their beach getaway "C-Scape" in Seawatch Condos in 2019. Mike is a real estate broker, property rehabber, and real estate investor for the past 33 years and Karyn is a professional photographer. They have 3 adult children, Josh, Dalton, and Alexa, along with 2 border collies, Scout and Daisy. Mike & Karyn were extremely fortunate to be the 2nd owners of this property, having purchased the property from the very first buyer in the building from 1984. Being the prime unit in the building with its top floor location, center of the building, and directly overlooking the pool and the ocean, plus being only 3 steps off the elevator, the unit had incredible potential as a family vacation spot and short-term rental for guests. Since the property was needing complete renovation from the somewhat dated 1980's decor & furnishings, Mike & Karyn put their renovation and design vision to work to create a fabulous, modern 2nd home to share with their guests. From ceilings to floors and everything in between, the property has been completely updated with the most popular finishes and neutral colors throughout, with a "beachy-coastal" feel for relaxation. By removing a somewhat restricting wall in the kitchen, removing the old-style cabinet soffits, adding taller craftsman cabinets in bright white, and creating a unique coffee bar, the entire kitchen took on a whole new look, while opening it up to the dining room. By utilizing pure white interior walls and trim, the space feels so much more open than before and provides a much lighter and brighter environment. The rustic dining room table & chairs, shiplap accent wall, ivory canvas sofa, dark blue accent chair, light gray ceramic plank flooring, and seafoam & turquoise linens all add to the "beachy" feel of the home. Mike & Karyn have created a wonderful, relaxing getaway that they plan to share with their extended family and vacation guests throughout the years.
Why they chose this property
Having previously owned a single-family, oceanfront home 7 miles north of Seawatch in South Ponte Vedra Beach, and being battered by hurricanes repeatedly, Mike and his elder brother decided to divest from that property due to its storm exposure, and Mike decided to reinvest in a much more low-maintenance property in Seawatch. The community is slightly further off the beach than his prior property in S. Ponte Vedra, yet still direct oceanfront without the need for seawall protection, and much closer to the conveniences of Publix, local restaurants, boat rentals, and downtown St. Augustine. "C-Scape" is much more of a turn-key property, with shared risk of storm exposure, shared maintenance cost with 26 other homeowners, plus the added amenities of the swimming pool, tennis court, beach walk-over, covered parking and ample guest parking. Reasonable HOA dues and a smaller condominium community are additional benefits, as well as being a quieter environment, away from the touristy and "Spring-Breaker" communities in other areas of St. Augustine. The property is just 35 minutes from the Carter's primary residence in NW St. Johns County, so it's any easy trip for daily use and for servicing the needs of their guests as needed.
What makes this property unique
The unique benefits of this community are the large community pool, tennis/pickleball court, beach walk-over, building elevator, less populated beach, covered parking & ample guest parking, and convenient proximity to grocery, restaurants, and downtown St. Augustine. As far as our unit itself, the completely renovated interior, large 13 x 13 covered balcony, split-bedroom floor plan, and top floor/center-of-building location just off the elevator, with panoramic views of the pool and beach are all unique and desirable features for our guest's enjoyment.
