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 grill, 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!

Book your stay at this one-of-a-kind beach home today!

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.

Perfect Location

We loved the proximity to the beach, Pier, restaurants, even a Starbucks right across the street, The little cottage was perfect for the 2 of us. We enjoyed the patio with pool, as well as long walks on the beach. We would love to return.

Lovely little home

The house is nice and the back yard patio is very spacious. However the stove is still not fixed, the bathroom doors don't lock and the cabana has a hole in the roof. There's a few other maintenance issues. I made a call and they came right out the next morning.

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.

Our week at Anastasia Lodge Cabana

We loved the modern amenities and additions to this original and classic beach home at St. Augustine Beach. We were disappointed that we were unable to use the pool due to issues with the pool heat and the delay in repair of the pool heat. We were refunded the additional charges for pool heat though. The beach was a very short walk away and we were able to watch a SpaceX launch from the beach. There are also several restaurants within walking distance. Very convenient access to Old St. Augustine too.

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!

Great stay with two families

We stayed 3 days here with two families (4 adults, 3 young children) and it was a wonderful stay! The bungalow is small but enough space for privacy and shared spaces. The kids shared the sofa bed (there are two). The pool is small but enough to lounge and for us to do a few strokes. We used it at least twice a day. The kids loved it. Kitchen is ok- enough for us to do two pasta meals and a lot of restaurants that are walkable or short drive - lots of good food. Its noted the oven doesn't seal well (we didn't use it) and same with the freezer - it would sometimes pop open. Used stove. There are some beach supplies we used which was great. Location is at end of beach - walkable 1 block or drivable. It is close the city of St. Augustine - we went into the city twice too. Only wish was more towels, but they did have a washer dryer so it was fine. It was great for us for a low key relaxing beach stay.

Great House

We had a really great stay! However there are some quirks with the house. The third bedroom/cabana is more like a pool house/shed/storage. So it smelled like chlorine and moldy/wet. So it didn’t feel safe to sleep and breathe in. The other rooms were fine and with the pullout couches it worked to have nobody sleep in the pool house. The picture in the listing of the cabana is outdated - it’s just a stained/dirty futon. The pool and deck are really great, lots of outdoor seating and a quick walk to restaurants/beach. The oven door is broken (like others reviewed), so if you turn it on it takes forever to cook anything and heats the whole house. Overall I would still recommend the house I just wouldn’t plan on sleeping in the cabana or plan much cooking for meals.

Nice getaway

This cabana is charming- very cozy and quaint- has everything you need for a nice getaway. The house was fairly clean upon arrival but could have used a little more attention to detail- example- the soap used by a previous rental was still in the shower, some of the floor was grimy. The only situation is that the queen bed collapsed on our first night, and we had to sleep on a mattress on the floor for 6 nights because it could not be replaced immediately. However, the property association were great in communicating, checking it out, assisting, etc. Overall a great experience.

St. Augustine wedding

The home is amazing. We were there for my son’s wedding in town. The location is perfect. Beach is across the street, restaurants in walking distance, stores close by. The home description on your web site needs to be adjusted to show as a two bedroom. The third bedroom is not a bedroom. It is a pool house with a futon. The pool house smells of a strong chemical smell and dead ants keep reappearing on the futon daily. A human can not sleep in there for fear of health issues with the smell and ants biting them. We did count of that bedroom as a room and it was a problem with a bedroom not available. A member of our party had to sleep on the main living room couch. We had an infant and the room needed to be available during the night and early morning hours. With someone sleeping in living room it was difficult for my daughter to care for her baby and difficult for my son to sleep. For the next renter that should be adjusted to show two bedrooms. We really did enjoy the home. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. The back yard is so much fun. We enjoyed the pool. Thank you for renting to us for our mini vacation for my son’s wedding.

So so location

My boys and I spent 5 nights at this home. Location is good if you want to fish on the pier. This was a reunion trip for us and I had planned on cooking my kids favorites. We weren’t able to do much of that because the oven door did not close properly and heat escaped and the bottom of the oven wasn’t clean so it would smoke every time we tried to cook…sometimes to the point of setting off smoke detector. The daily pans were terrible…you really need to invest in a small-medium-large pan to do the basics. Two of the beds were comfortable but the others were dismal for an adult. And to top it off, the police were out two nights in a row dealing with unknown people hanging around for hours (we didn’t call police… neighbors did). We travel somewhere different every year… this was our most expensive nightly rate but the lowest quality.

House is great but…

The house is great as is the location but they are not very clear about the " heated pool “ or the "3rd" bedroom. The pool was cold and we were told that we should have given 72 hours notice for the heat to be turned on. It says this NOWHERE that I can find which means it is not clearly stated. The listing says HEATED pool. I asked for it to be turned on at that point but was refused, why? The 3rd bedroom is a sitting room of the other bedroom with a sleeper sofa, was not comfortable. Shouldn’t be listed as a bedroom without a bed in it. There is plenty of room so they should just put a bed in there. Other than that our stay was fun the place is old but well kept the backyard is very cool.
