About this property
Big & Bright! Downtown 4 BR house & Big Garden. Bikes, Boards & Beach supplies!
Located in the hip, laid back, eclectic "West King" area of downtown St Augustine, this large single story, 2200 sq ft house is the perfect home base to experience the historic city, sites, beaches, waterways & myriad of attractions of the area. This house is central and equidistant from the Vilano and St Augustine beaches, Golf, fishing spots, national parks, etc. No need to drive downtown, just open up our Sports Shed and take the bikes to historic downtown or if you're up for it, pedal further across the Lion's Bridge to Anastasia Island. Or, if you prefer paddling, you can take the kayaks for a quiet trip down the many surrounding waterways and marshes. We have fishing poles and a tackle box too. If you'd rather check out the many beautiful surrounding beaches take the beach wagon full of beach chairs, shade umbrellas, boogie boards, sand toys and beach mats. We also have a longboard for surfing or SUP.
With an open layout, two sitting rooms, and a huge 6000 sq ft fenced in yard with BBQ, fire pit, outdoor dining table and basketball hoop, this eclectic 70s inspired house is perfect for fams & friends.
Security cams face parking area and front entrance only.
Large TV in living room. 2 bedrooms have TVs and 2 bedrooms DO NOT have TVs.
One bedroom is accessible only through its adjoining bathroom. See floor plan in the pics for details.
IMPORTANT INFO: Rates are dependent on size of group. Please indicate guest count for accurate pricing . If your guest count changes please update reservation on the details page of your booking prior to arrival. As per St Augustine city Short Term Rental Ordinance the max guest count is the number of bedrooms x 2 (infants and toddlers not included) Due to risk to our permit, if any unreported guests show up, we charge a $350 fee per undisclosed guest per day, so please be accurate.

About the host
Hosted by Michelle & Barry
We work a lot but when we are not working we love to travel and stay in unique and quirky places off the beaten path. We've been hosting our two houses in Los Angeles for over a decade but when we took a trip to St. Augustine we loved it so much that we immediately decided to sell our guest properties and move here. Our favorite part of the city is the up and coming area known as West King.
We hope you enjoy the house and area as much as we do! Please let us know if you have any questions about us or our homes.

Why they chose this property
We love this neighborhood because it's laid back, less dense and has much bigger lots than the historic district but is only a few mins away from the center by bike or car. In this hood you will see a mix of old typical Florida cracker shacks right next to perfectly restored victorians and ultra modern dwellings. With a huge steady stream of young people and families relocating to this part of St. Augustine from all over the country, the residents are equally diverse .The West King businesses are small, independent and locally owned and the vibe is authentic, and more "youthful", than the more touristed parts of the Ancient City.
What makes this property unique
The house is big and sunny with a lot of windows and an open floor plan perfect for families and small groups. We decorated it with an eye towards a vintage 70s suburban vibe. Its funky, has a huge yard to enjoy the outdoors with a basketball hoop, bbq, tables and chairs and a fire pit to gather around in the evening. Best of all there is a sports shed with bikes and kayaks, fishing gear, boogie boards, surfboard, long board as well as a wagon full of beach supplies so that guests can really make the most of this amazing area.
Each room has closet and desk space. There are two bathrooms. One with a shower and the other with tub shower combo.
Please note that one bedroom is accessible via the bathroom, please see floorplan in the photos.
