A clean beach front home with maximum sleep space ! This section of the beach does not allow cars so very safe for the littles to play in the sand. Kitchen has everything you need and a view from the family dining area.

Great house right on the beach that was very comfortable for our family of 8. Awesome amenities and felt like we had a private beach. The sunrises were spectacular! Very close to all attractions and historic St. Augustine. The property manager provided excellent communication and made sure we had everything we needed to make our trip very special.

The covered porch was the best part for our family! My parents were able to enjoy watching everyone from the shade. The location can’t be beat with everything close by. Having all towels, linens, beach chairs, and boogie boards provided made traveling from out of state easy. Host was a great communicator though out the stay. Would absolutely come here again.

This house was amazing. It has everything you need. Having the elevator was wonderful as it allowed my 94 year old mother to join us and enjoy all the spaces. The covered back patio was our favorite place. There was a wonderful breeze everyday we were there so we spent the evening just sitting enjoying looking at the beach. I could not recommend this place more!

Great 4th of July week Vacation with family

It’s a great property and the area is still relatively quiet. The beach is far enough away from the crowds that it feels private. The house and facilities are well maintained but could definitely use an update. The attentive and helpful host made up for any issues with deck furniture. We will definitely be back for another stay.

About the host

Hosted by Marla K.

Host profile image
As the name "Serenity Now" suggests, we are big fans of Seinfeld. We live for the belly ache laughter found with good friends while on vacation together. House boating, New Orleans, Cabo, African safaris and music festivals are our favorites. Whether it's a girls trip, guys trip or family vacation, travel is our number one guilty pleasure. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it must be clean, comfortable, offer good food, interesting sites and fun activities.

Why they chose this property

We searched all of Florida to find the perfect location. St. Augustine is eclectic, historic and young at heart. Flagler College contributes to the academic and artistic vibe. Old moss trees and spanish architecture make it beautiful. Great music festivals and concerts flow through the town. Farm/sea to table restaurants offer wonderful eateries. Golf, NASCAR, and football are nearby. Our beach is pristine with a long stretch of white sand that is practically private. The ocean behind our home is perfect for swimming, fishing, and offers a terrific break for boogie boarding and surfing without being dangerous for little kids.

What makes this property unique

We bought and remodeled this home to meet what we would want if we were renting a vacation home: space for the kids to hang out, an elevator to make life easy for the grandparents or those who can't walk stairs, a long covered porch perfect to shade the babies while allowing mom to be part of the action, enough sleeping space for multiple families, and a hot outdoor shower at sunset! Just walk down our back stairs and you are on the beach- NO long walk over dunes to get to the beach- ultra convenient!
