Adventure Oasis

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

This newly completely renovated single-story 1950s bungalow in Davis Shores is perfect for weekend getaways, family vacations, or extended stays! Completely updated with new appliances and flooring, this bright island home is a wonderful venue to relax and experience the beauty and history of St. Augustine. The peaceful neighborhood is perfectly located between the lively historic district and the gorgeous beaches of Anastasia State Park.

Love to eat? The full kitchen is well-equipped with stainless steel appliances and utensils to handle any home cooking needs. A gourmet coffee bar is set up to greet you in the mornings and give you a great start to your day.

Enjoy the large fenced-in yard that's great for BBQ get-togethers from the grill, family fun days, games on the lawn, or a great escape for the family dog. You will love the privacy and beauty while relaxing from the outdoor dining, spacious outdoor couches, or a nap in the hammock! When you want to venture out a bit further, hop on the provided bikes and head over to explore the famous lighthouse and maritime museum. Take a short walk through the beautiful streets of Davis shores and over the Bridge of Lions to historic downtown for a day of exploring, shopping, or dining on the bay. If a trip to the beach is on the agenda, pick from the famous surfing beaches of Vilano or the beautiful white sand beaches on Cresent with calm seas and clear water just minutes away. For those who love to fish, walk just blocks to the bay or the Conch House Marina where you can dock your boat or hire a captain and his vessel for an adventure-filled fishing trip on the open seas or intercoastal waters.

When it's time for a relaxing evening at the house after a day of play, a great game room with a Tiki-bar, a game table (stocked up on board games), a movie room with 65" TV, and a game console with over 40 games for the kids await. For even more relaxation, soak in a bath under the stars in the luxurious, private, outdoor spa just off the primary bath!

Nice location and cute home

We enjoyed this home, it was spacious and nicely decorated. There were some setbacks that will keep us from returning. There was no flexibility on early check in. Zero exceptions (it was pouring rain and thunder storming so we sat out side the home and waited until four). Two of the tvs/remotes didn’t work. I was so excited there was a Nespresso machine… but no pods and nowhere near by that sells them. For the price of the home, my family was underwhelmed.

So pleased! We'll book it again!

This is the second year that ten relatives have gathered from New York, Arizona and North Dakota for Thanksgiving (in the same house). We'll most likely sign up for the same place again next year, since we've been very pleased with the size, layout and location. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything one needs to cook for a large group, as well as a BBQ on a very attractive patio. I especially liked the many comfortable seating areas throughout the house, where groups could gather or individuals could have some alone-time. The youngsters in our group enjoyed the supplies in the recreation room: games, ocean equipment, bikes, etc. Also, the overall decor was very pleasant, and we're looking forward to applying for this house again!

Absolutely amazing rental

This might be one of our favorite rentals ever. The check in info, the signage around the house (even a small sign in one bathroom letting us know the hot/cold handles were flipped from normal). Incredibly clean, great appliances, super close to the bridge and some great restaurants. We'll definitely be staying again in the future!

Great stay in St. Augustine

Great property, exactly as pictures. The home and yard are both very spacious. The neighborhood is wonderful and the location is so close to the downtown, it made going to shops and restaurants very easy. Communicating with the property manager was quite delayed which did make addressing questions or concerns challenging. However, would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Home

This is the second time we’ve stayed. The house is very pretty - it is decorated nicely and thoughtfully outfitted. The neighborhood is beautiful - close to both the state park and the historic old city. Responsive management. One of our favorite short term rental experiences.

Nicely done!

The home was super clean and nicely appointed. We loved the attention to details along with basket of snacks/water and basket for our dog! Little details such as bottled water and cute dove soaps for the bath were appreciated. The backyard was absolutely delightful. It was fenced for our dog, had a BBQ, fire pit, a spacious deck with nice patio furniture and outside spa!

Great Family House

House had everything we needed. The kitchen had several gadgets including a blender and instapot. There were beach toys, umbrella, chairs, a baby pool, icechest, and towels. Our days spent at the beach was great because of all the supplies provided. The house has beautiful decor as well. Finally there were several board and video games.

Great vacation property. Walking distance to historic St Augustine

The house was great! Lots of spaces to gather. Loved the outdoor tub! The back porch & yard were private & relaxing. Would not recommend for elderly or small children due to several different floor levels. There are some small items that could be added to ‘delight’ the guests: a refrigerator with filtered water (water quality in the house is not good for drinking), kitchen towels (there was only one), coffee beans (the youtube video about how to make coffee said there were beans but there weren’t any).
