About this property

Ocean Gallery “Butler Beach Bungalow”, a 1 bdrm coastal oasis

Bright, airy and beachy, our condo at Ocean Gallery pairs resort-style amenities with an exceptionally clean, stylish and comfortable condo. Perfect for a couple or one family, it sleeps up to 4 in beds (master bed sleeps 2; pullout sofa in living area sleeps 2 additional guests - perfect for kids).

Our 870 sq ft condo has everything you’ll ever need for a Florida beach getaway! With pool and lagoon view from the sunny lanai, and the beach just a short stroll from the condo, you’ll love this tropical escape.

You will have a contactless check-in. The condo is on the 2nd floor and you will share the open-air stairwell with only one other unit (no crowded elevators!). The complex is large and with the beach and multiple pools to choose from, it is a fantastic option for those looking to social distance during the pandemic.

Grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine and wander the beach barefoot soaking in the Florida sunshine and spectacular views.

Beautiful townhouse

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at Emily's place for the month of February. Everything was exactly as described in the listing, and we couldn’t have been happier. The home is beautifully furnished, well-maintained, and stocked with thoughtful starter supplies. The furniture and bedding were in excellent condition, and the bed was especially comfortable.One of our favorite parts of the stay was spending afternoons reading on the enclosed lanai, relaxing on the comfortable chaise loungers. The community is wonderfully maintained, and the heated 86-degree pool was a huge bonus. We also loved how friendly the residents were—there’s a great sense of community here, with daily morning pickleball meetups for those who want to join in.Overall, it was a truly enjoyable experience, and we would highly recommend Emily’s place to anyone looking for a relaxing and welcoming stay. Emily was an awesome host!

Best Condo Ever!!!!

From start to finish the experience staying in this condo was absolutely perfect! The condo is clean and the location is perfect! Not too close to the pool or beach to have foot traffic. The property is quiet and it was awesome to not have a lot of noise interfering with the vacation. Emily is the best host ever and an amazing communicator! We will definitely be back many more times!

A+ for BBB

Can't say enough good things about this location. Everything was as stated. Perfect for a couple's getaway. Great to have beach chairs, umbrella and a wagon to haul it down the short walk to the beautiful beach. King bed was very comfortable. Unit was smartly decorated and clean. We also enjoyed the lanai overlooking the pond. We hope it is available for our next trip.

Fantastic experience at Butler Beach!

Our family was fortunate enough to have recently spent a few nights in the Butler Beach condo. Our vacation time here was fantastic! The condo is tastefully decorated, comfortable and most importantly (in my opinion) super clean. Emily has the condo stocked with anything you could possibly need, which we really appreciated. We loved enjoying our morning coffee on the screened in porch area. Beach access was just a quick walk away which meant we were even able to enjoy a sunrise on the beach one morning. :). We really wish our stay would have lasted longer and would love to return in the future. Communication with Emily was efficient and pleasant right from the initial booking inquiry straight through to check out. Instructions on how to access the property and all the local amenities were communicated clearly. Everything about this booking was so easy. Thanks so much for such a great experience Emily! :)

A Home Away from Home

Emily’s condo is the most beautiful rental I’ve ever had in Ocean Gallery ! It is beautifully decorated , and so comfortable whether sitting on the lanai, the couch , at the breakfast counter or dreaming in the best mattress ever ! It was sparkling clean .. new pots, towels and so well supplied . I 100% give it 5+ stars and hope I will be lucky enough to rent it again

Spectacular

This unit was beautifully decorated and had everything you could possibly need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Everything was super clean and organized. There was no mismatched, odds and ends in the kitchen; full service Fiesta dinnerware. The hostess made us feel welcome and was very attentive. She even had a new Keurig shipped in when the old one died. The property was beautiful and we were constantly entertained by the wildlife around the lagoon right outside our balcony. The only slight downfall was that it was a good 5 minute walk to the beach carrying all the beach gear. Spectacular.

The Perfect Condo!

This was my first VRBO experience and I am BEYOND impressed. We enjoyed every single second of staying at Emily’s. She has literally thought of everything for your stay. My kids really enjoyed the toys she left for them and the adults enjoyed the beverages left for us! The decor is absolutely lovely and the setup is amazing. It was a short trip for us, but it was a great one! Thank you for everything, Emily! Can’t wait to come back!

Perfect little getaway

My husband and I and our two teenagers had a wonderful stay here. The owner was very easy to contact and quick to answer questions. We loved the little snacks and drinks left to welcome us. Most of my time spent in the house was on the lanai. So relaxing sitting out there and turtle watching. We did wish the hot tub right outside the condo was working but we just made our way over to the clubhouse pool when we wanted to sit in the hot tub. Overall we had a fantastic stay. So much to do in and around St Augustine that I wished I had more time just to enjoy the condo and beach! So much to do and so little time.

About the host

Hosted by Emily Albert

Host profile image
We are a family of 4 that loves traveling, going to the beach, and exploring new cities. When the pandemic hit and put a hold on all of our travel plans, we felt drawn to creating our own safe haven in one of our all time favorite cities, St. Augustine. We love opening our condo up to others when our family isn't using it, so they can build their own special memories there!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the Ocean Gallery community the first time we visited. The grounds are exceptionally beautiful and the amenities plenty (the large, sparkling Clubhouse pool is our favorite). The soft sand beach is an easy walk from the condo and we love chasing the waves, searching for shells, or watching the sun go down.

Ocean Gallery is easy walking distance to several restaurants and a short drive to the St. Augustine Beach community as well as the heart of historic St. Augustine. Between the beach feel of the local community and the historic vibe of downtown St. Augustine, it really has everything we could ever want. There is so much to do!
