Bright 1940s beach cottage with cabana plus private pool

Anastasia Lodge Cabana

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Kick back in this stylish vintage beach house, situated in the historic 1940s motor court right on scenic A1A, steps from the ocean! Anastasia Lodge Cabana is located on the Golden Mile of Old St. Augustine Beach, so this coastal haven is walking/biking distance to local restaurants and just a short drive to historic downtown.

The main home boasts two inviting bedrooms, and the third bedroom is a separate cabana out by the pool offering a futon bed and half bathroom. Additional amenties include a full kitchen, surf and paddle board, a plunge pool, and towels. A pool bath with an outdoor shower for beach days is located in the private courtyard. Just bring your suitcase and enjoy a calming retreat by the sea! You'll find cable TV and free WiFi here for all your entertainment needs. Central air-conditioning keeps everybody cool, and a private washer and dryer makes laundry easy.

This bright and airy jewel was deemed the Anastasia Lodge Cabana by local surfers and beach-goers due to its relaxed old-Florida appeal and ideal location, near the most gorgeous surfing beaches around. This historic cottage is located on the vast, non-driving part of the beach, across from the entrance to the beautiful Anastasia State Park; the views are absolutely pristine!

The State Park is full of nature and bird preserves. Your peaceful morning walks will go on for miles filled with endless natural beauty - it's a photographer's paradise! Peek out the living room windows towards the Anastasia State Park Beach Access just across the street, then walk out the front gate and stroll over to put your toes in the sand or have morning coffee at the famous FA's Cafe! FA is an old local surfer's term for First Access to the surf break/waves. This is a perfect spot for swimming, fishing, or watching local paddle boarders and surfers enjoying our salty St. Augustine lifestyle near the Pier.

Walk right across the street to the Wednesday morning oceanside farmer's market for local goodies or walk next door to Salt Life Food Shack for lunch with ocean views, just minutes to the downtown shopping & nightlife!

Family vacay

This property had everything we were looking for in a beach stay. Close to the beach and room for all of us. They were responsive when I had questions before and during our stay. My only suggestions to improve would be a new mattress in the guest bedroom and place some pot holders in the kitchen. Other than that it was perfect and we had the best time together as a family!

The house was extremely clean on arrival! The hosts had supplied toiletries in each bathroom and plenty of bath & beach towels. The pool area outside was excellent!! Comfy rocking chairs were under covered awnings and were so nice to sit out and enjoy morning coffee. The pool was absolutely refreshing and the cabana had extra floats and pool toys available for use. The only “issue” was that the freezer door would pop open whenever we would close the refrigerator doors so if you weren’t paying attention it could be a problem. I wish we had more sunny days to be able to enjoy the outdoors more but we made due and the close proximity of restaurants and the beach was great. Overall this trip was a 10/10 and we can’t wait to make this an annual trip!

Great beach cottage

This house is very cute and comfortable for a small family beach getaway. The outdoor pool area is very nice and provided a great way to cool down after the beach. Like others said, I would not recommend having someone sleep in the cabana room but both pull out couches inside were comfortable and great for additional sleeping areas. The oven issue has been fixed but we were unable to locate the grill. The location of the house is great! Very short walk to beach and restaurants and only 10 minutes from downtown Saint Augustine. Would definitely stay here again!

The house was clean except all of the air conditioning vents, all were dusty. The air conditioning unit in the family room shot out black particles. The freezer door would stick and not shut all of the way, starting to defrost popsicles. The pool was never cleaned, lots of sand in the bottom. Pool guy never came as stated in description.

Nice location

We stayed here for our annual family trip. Grandkids were very excited about the pool, however a lot of sand in the pool upon arrival and pool maintenance person never came as described in information on home, so remained a bit dirty thru stay. Air conditioning vents in ceilings were dirty and the unit in the family room shot out pieces of black stuff. Freezer door in need of repair, sticks open. We never saw the grill that was in the description, disappointing. The location was perfect , close to beach and restaurants, quick drive to downtown. Starbucks right across A1A in Embassy Suites a plus. Owner had everything needed for a fun beach day. Tall people, heads up toilets are very small. Overall the family enjoyed the trip. Just think it needs some maintenance.

Nice place but listing is misleading

The place overall is nice and is in a good location near the beach, Anastasia park, and restaurants. The listing had heated pool in the amenities but the pool was not heated which we were notified after we booked and were unable to get a refund. The listing also says 3BR/2.5BA, but it’s really 2BR/2BA. The pool cabana and beach equipment is unavailable to guests despite being in the pictures and advertised in the listing.

Our 2nd time here

To come back when you’re done visiting the beach just to get into the heated pool is the best feeling. The cleanliness has been top notch both visits, and the pool guy has come both times, so you know it is well maintained.

Darling Beach Cottage

This is our second time renting this property and we love it. Will definitely try to get it again when we come back to St Augustine. Darling Cottage that looks like the pictures, a short walk to the beach, awesome pool and comfortable mattresses (we slept great). Definitely our favorite place to stay (we come every year)

Lovely Beach Bungalow with an Incredible Location

We have loved our time at this amazing rental home. The beach is just steps away and the included surfboard was such a thoughtful touch. The backyard plunge pool was just what we needed with five kids ages 5 to 13. I highly recommend staying here and we can’t wait to come back!
