About this property

Ocean & Racquet - Ocean Front Just Steps to Silky Beach Sands! Ground Floor!

Enjoy ocean breezes as your relax in the living area and fall asleep to soothing ocean waves. The cozy master bedroom suite features an remodeled bathroom with step in shower. The guest room is tucked away at the front of the unit with easy access to an also remolded guest bathroom. Throughout the condo the tile flooring makes sweeping up the sand a breeze! The patio is great for entertaining with access to the building's lawn area.

Resort style amenities for you to enjoy such as: 2 no stair beach access points; 1 heated pool; 1 unheated pool; 4 lighted tennis courts; several fishing ponds to catch the BIG one; boccie court; shuffle board court and 5 heated spas to relax in; grills for an evening BBQ and so much more. Best of all, complex is located right on St. Augustine Beach!

The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

This property is not handicap accessible. Even though it is a ground floor unit there are a few steps to get into the property.

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you.

IMPORTANT: You MUST purchase a parking pass ($15) from the association's website AT LEAST 48 hours before arrival. If you do not register at least 48 hours in advance, Ocean & Racquet WILL charge you an additional $25 for late registration. If you will have a rental car, you can fill in the info with '1234' for now and the office will update it when you arrive. If you booked less than 48 hours before arrival, you will need to show proof to the office so they can waive the fee.

Service Animals: Pets are not allowed at our beach retreat. If you bring a pet, we will charge your damage deposit for a pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house and you will risk cancellation of your booking. You must let us know if you are bringing a service animal, it's important to let the cleaners know and the office of the condo.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

Made lots of good memories.

Surprising use of square footage updates were done beautifully and made our stay very enjoyable. Bathrooms are a little tight but beautifully done would highly recommend a stay. Kitchen could not have been better equipped Jacuzzis and heated pool or a big plus we look forward to staying again

Perfect getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. It was steps to the most amazing beach. You could walk, bike on hard sand and drive 4 x 4 vehicles on the beach. The condo had everything you need to cook meals, grocery stores nearby.The beds were comfortable. Great restaurants and attractions are close by. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome hosts!!

This place was so clean as well as awesome location!!! We LOVED being able to take walks on the beach without having to fight for public parking just to get access! We also enjoyed being not far from downtown St. Augustine. If we needed anything, the owners, David and Patti, were so quick to respond. We hope to return soon and look to book them again!

St. Augustine Beach

We had a great time in St. Augustine, so much to do there. This St. Augustine Ocean & Racquet Club condo we rented was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed and walk out your door and right to the beach, which was very nice! Loved it! Can't wait to go back again.

Perfect Beach Getaway

You really couldn't ask for much more! Great location, airy and light decor, everything you need is furnished and just steps away from the ocean. Our host checked in on us and was readily available when we had questions. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return for another beach weekend. Thank you!

Love this place!!!

Everything worked out good. Had a couple hiccups when we arrived. The were taken care of imediately. Loved the location of this unit it was right at the beach. Beach was beautiful. Plan on going back next year. If i could make a couple request. Install ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Add a tv to the second bedroom. Update the tv in the living room to a smart tv. I could not use the service I use as I could not load the apps. SImple things add up.

Wonderful winter getaway

We had a great experience during our stay. St Augustine beach is beautiful, great for long walks, and the people (and dogs) are friendly. This condo was just enough for the two of us. Clean, well equipped and just a hop over the boardwalk to the beach. Enjoy the sounds of the surf right from the condo. Owners were easy to communicate with. Thank you for a great break from the Indiana winter blahs!

Wedding stay

Was in town for a wedding. Was centrally located to everything not to far away from downtown either. It was a nice situated condo right on beach. The owners were very friendly and very helpful. Was older and needs some updating but worked very well for our stay and what we needed.

Beach condo

Although this condo and property is ideally located right by the beach, the unit needs a lot of attention. Washer/ dryer needs repair. King bed and pillows very stiff. Couch has no back support. Kitchen chairs sag. Toilet runs on. Living room light fixtures are sketchy. Our beach access code was incorrect and we got locked out onto the beach. Had to climb over the gate! Patio door lock mechanism came apart. Exterior key pad is not illuminated and difficult to see at. All the bath towels stink. We were expected to take out our own trash to the dumpster and start laundry before we left, even though we paid cleaning fee. Overall, this gated community appeared well cared for and clean.

Wonderful location & steps from the beach

Really enjoyed our stay. Nice & quiet. Easy 1st floor access to condo. Clean unit, comfortable furniture & lovely new kitchen. Only issue was other couple renting with us got locked out of returning from beach even with beach access code. Not sure what happened there. We just ran out & let them back on premises

Great time

We had a great time in St Augustine and enjoyed the condo very much! 50 steps to the walkway that is then just a few more for full ocean views. When sitting on the patio you could hear the ocean! Great contact with owners - we had an issue the main water line broke (nothing the owner could prevent) Owner was immediately answered when I let him know that there was no water and was very quick to find out it the main. All was fixed within about 1.5 hours with great contact
