We Love ocean Gallery and have been coming here for years. Condo was clean and had lots of little extras that made it a nice comfortable stay. Host was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. First time being by lagoon instead of the pool and we loved the privacy and quietness it offered. Enjoyed our stay very much. Will definitely book this condo again.

Loved the spacious, spotless, very well equipped condo and its location near restaurants and grocery stores. The owner was very helpful with directions and had several extras that made our stay very pleasant (filters for the coffee pot, for example). Short walk to the sugar-sand beach.

Wonderful Experience
The townhome was very spacious and well equipped. We especially liked the view from the master bedroom lanai. It is a short walk to a lovely stretch of beach. The complex is quiet and the pool at the clubhouse was wonderful. Lee Anne was great about communicating with us. We are returning next year and would certainly recommend this townhouse.

This lovely home is thoughtfully decorated. Beautiful, wide and sandy beach is an invitation to long walks. Quiet nights and nearby restaurants offer a chance to restore mind and body. Nearby , the pool is glistening and private yet steps from the beach. Come, and be restored.

A Great Beach Place to Unwind with Friends
We have been coming to this condo for a number of years and always have a wonderful few days away together. We've developed favorite restaurants & shopping spots just short drives away, but the best parts of our stays are the time spent relaxing at the beautifully furnished and well-equipped condo, the walks on and time at the beach, and an afternoon or two at the pool when the beach is really hot! You won't be disappointed if you book Sand in My Shoes. It will be the best "sand" in your shoes! We're long-time girlfriends who work to set the time aside to be together--and the Ocean Gallery is our pick year after year. Enjoy!

Another Great Time!
We have enjoyed a great Girlfriends Getaway at Sand in My Shoes several times, and this year was another one of fun & making memories on the beach and in St. Augustine, while staying at Sand in My Shoes. The recent updates are great, and even though the high waves and even higher wind made our beach time a bit of a challenge, we had a wonderful & relaxing time together. Lee Anne is a thoughtful host, dedicated to making your time at her lovely condo a fun escape.

This condo was exceptionally well equipped and clean. The owner made special arrangements as we had many extra guests in town. The nicely stocked kitchen had all we needed so we didn't have to run to the store every 15 minutes for salt, pepper, spices, etc. Looking for an excuse to return!

All the comforts of home!
"Sand in my shoes" Felt like home from the first night. Everything was clean and well maintained. Having coffee in the enclosed lanai overlooking the lagoon was a great way to start the day. The beach is a short 3 minute walk away. The pools at Ocean Gallery were wonderful. Always well maintained. We cooked several meals in the kitchen and it has everything you could need. I highly recommend this property and cant wait till our next visit.

Another Great Girlfriends Getaway
Four of us returned again to Lee Anne's beautiful condo for a few days of relaxation and fun at the ocean, Ocean Gallery, and the St. Augustine area. We spend the majority of our time together at the beach, either walking or relaxing in chairs provided while we share the time together, at the condo, and also some time at the heated pool and poolside. Our plane had to be de-iced before our trip this year, so the warm sun and warm condo atmosphere were both most welcome. You will enjoy getting Sand in Your Shoes here, too!

Amazing experience!
What a beautiful property in such an excellent location. A very quick walk to the beach, we counted 500 or so steps! A 10 minute drive to Downtown and within easy distance to many great restaurants and ice cream shops! We were lucky enough to spend 6 weeks here. I was with my two sons ages 12 and 9, and they absolutely fell in love with the area, the sights and the culture. But especially the beach. Leanne was great and available whenever we needed her. The condo was spotless upon arrival and had everything we needed for a comfortable 6 week stay. We will definitely be back to visit!! Thanks again Leanne for sharing this treasure with us!

Great experience
I’ve stayed in several units in this complex and been in several others rented by friends and family - all in the oceanfront towers. While those stays have been fun due to views and proximity to the beach, the units themselves have been nothing special. By comparison, this townhouse is very clean and comfortable. Very well equipped, appointed and maintained. For instance, knives that actually cut, cookware, dishes and cutlery that don’t seem like they were bought at a grocery store, appliances that work well, comfortable beds, quality linens, etc. etc. it’s clear the owners take care of it and their guests have been responsible and respectful. This was by far the best unit I’ve been in in the complex. I also came to appreciate that it’s much quieter than the oceanfront towers with the rowdy pools and with much easier parking. Just all around an upgrade. Will definitely book again.

Nice rental and owner
This was probably my favorite St. Augustine rental of the three I have stayed at in the past few years. I like the quiet Ocean Gallery complex and felt very secure with the guard at the gate. The owner was very accommodating and responded quickly to my questions before the stay. The welcome basket and Christmas decorations were just some of the little details that made this place extra special. The downstairs common area was spacious with plenty of comfortable seating, a bathroom, and adequate lighting, and the beds upstairs were comfortable. My husband and I fought over the one sink in the master, but the shower and closet (yes, closet!) were roomy. The beach was a quick walk from the rental, once we figured out which gate to pass through between the other buildings in the complex. Parking was clearly marked with the rental number and even “guest” parking spots. I would definitely stay here again when I visit St. Augustine in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Lee Anne

Host profile image
I'm a true Floridian having been born and lived in the Tampa Bay area before moving to St. Augustine with my husband and children 30+ years ago. We raised our children in St. Augustine and love all the history. I enjoy having people enjoy the condo and area as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Ocean Gallery is a beautiful and friendly resort. Although my condo is not directly on the beach it is within a short minutes' walk to the boardwalk. It is a private gated walkway that takes you to the beautiful white sandy shore of the Atlantic Ocean. You can sit under one of the gazebos or on one of the benches along the walkway. It is so peaceful and relaxing.

If it's fitness you want, take a brisk morning's walk along the ocean's shore and enjoy beautiful sunrises and sunsets or enjoy the many amenities provided including a fitness room at the indoor/outdoor pool area among others. You can sit on the lanai upstairs or downstairs and enjoy looking at the lagoon with its fountain and watch the many birds and turtles who have made it their home.

What makes this property unique

It offers 24 hour security and the amenities can't be beat. During long term stays, it gives me the opportunity to meet new people and make new friends. For short term stays, you have all the privacy you want.
