About this property

Waterfront home with dock, heated pool, & spectacular views- walk/bike downtown!

Our 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is located on Salt Run. We have a large back patio with outdoor dining and sitting area, 4 lounge chairs with umbrellas, firepit area, putting green with corn hole boards, outdoor ping pong table, a private heated pool, 3 kayaks, and a dock with floating dock for boat access. Fish, swim, kayak or paddleboard right off the dock or use one of our three kayaks to paddle across to Anastasia State Park and walk over to the ocean for an adventure. You can rent a boat (or bring your own) and tie it up at our dock during your stay. After a day of boating, touring the city, or visiting the beach, come back and take a dip in the pool. You can walk to a number of nearby restaurants and bars or even walk/bike to downtown St. Augustine to see the Fort and shop. We are a little less than a mile from the Bridge of Lions. Bring your bike (or use one of our 4) and explore Lighthouse Park and walk up to the top of the lighthouse for beautiful vistas. You are also biking distance to the Amphitheater for great concerts or check out the local Farmers Market there on Saturdays. Bring your camera and take pictures right off the back deck of numerous birds, dolphins, sea turtles and manatees. Collect oysters from across the Inlet or put our crab trap out and cook up some blue crab or your fresh catch for dinner in our fully equipped kitchen. Wake up and enjoy the splendor of the beautiful sunrises while having your morning coffee on the back deck. We welcome you to enjoy our little piece of paradise!
There is a smaller separate rental on the property but it does not share any amenities/spaces. The patio, pool, & dock are solely for main house guests.

Family time

Great place to spend time with family. The location was excellent. We enjoyed kayaking, ping pong and golf. The beds were comfortable. It was too cold to swim but we enjoyed the fire pit. The fireworks on the beach were amazing! We had beautiful views of the sunrise over the water. We hope to go back in the future.

We all were very impressed by the house and enjoyed our stay. Suggestions: The downstairs bathroom attached to the bedroom. Bite the bullett and redo the plumbing. It smelled bad on arrival but upon use was fine. Draining water caused noise indicating venting issues, which likely also cause the smell. Shower controls are off causing inability to have a coolish shower. It was virtually always on very warm.

Fantastic location with everything you need

Had a great stay here to celebrate parents 50th anniversary. Our group of 9 really enjoyed the area. Close to shops, beaches, and restaurants while still feeling secluded at the home. Lots to do and see. Pet friendly and extras included like bicycles, kayaks, beach chairs, etc. Janet (host) was very responsive to any questions and supplied us with all the necessary info. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous home with us!

Awesome family trip to St. Augustine

We stayed at this property with our grown children and grandchildren- 8 adults and 2 small children. The house is perfect! So much space for large groups. Janet went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. The location was great! We walked to downtown St Augustine and to the beach at the State Park. We also saw dolphins and sea turtles from the dock. We hope to return!!

Christmas in St Augistine

Great house for our family! We all wanted to be together at times and yet we wanted to all have our own spaces. The host had decorated a tree for us and had several holiday plaques and reminders of Christmas around. The kitchen was very well stocked. The drawbridge that had to be crossed to get into town goes up every 30 minutes or so and the wait to get across can be lengthy but otherwise, we had no difficulties.

The home was in a great location and the views and outdoor spaces were wonderful. We did have some issues with the AC which were not the owner’s fault and they were very responsive but still made our stay less than perfect. But again, the owner was very helpful and responsive.

Beautiful location with lots of amenities

Amazing location on the water with a dock and beautiful sunrises! The layout of the house was perfect for my family and extended family; we each had our own areas of the home as well as spacious living/dining areas for us all to congregate in. The deck was setup with plenty of chairs to enjoy the outside space, and the kids enjoyed use of the pool, putting green and fishing off the dock. The property had everything necessary for our vacation enjoyment! We loved walking to the Lighthouse and it was only a short drive into downtown St. Augustine. We hope to go back again!

Spectacular home with great amenities

Not only was the home spacious with plenty of seating and sleeping accommodations...but the outdoor area was just as inviting with pool, fire pit, dock, outdoor dining and casual seating area. Our family made lasting memories. We named the sea turtles that hung out by the dock, kayaked several times to the nearby Anastasia Island, and rode bikes to downtown St. Augustine several times. I recommend this spectacular home!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Mantooth

Host profile image
St. Augustine is a special place for my family and me. We have vacationed and visited here for many years. We hope to retire here but for now, we visit as often as we can and look forward to sharing the beauty and peace we have found here. I hope you enjoy as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

This property has a little bit of it all....a beautiful sunrise view over Salt Run, a view from the upstairs balcony of the ocean over Anastasia State Park, close enough to town to get there quick but far enough away to not be in the middle of the "hustle and bustle" it can sometimes be.

What makes this property unique

Walking distance to many nearby bars, restaurants, and shops on the island. Only 5 minutes by boat to the Inlet at Vilano. Nature lovers paradise! A little less than a mile from the Bridge of Lions - easy to bike or walk into town. Plenty of separate areas inside our home for multi-generational gathering or teenagers that want their own space. Onsite activites including putting green, corn hole, ping pong, pool, kayaking, or biking.
