Lighthouse - Heated Pool & Firepit! Near Amphitheatre, Historic Downtown, Beach
Our Lighthouse & Beach Retreat is located 5 minutes drive from the beach, 7 minutes drive from downtown St Augustine, and a short bike ride to the amphitheater, this 4 bedroom 2 baths beach-side home with a pool is close to everywhere you want to be. Terracotta tile throughout. The house has one large smart TV located in the living room and another tv in the master bedroom.
Centrally located to beach, amphitheater, lighthouse, downtown, and 312. Everything is within biking distance. Large L shaped lap pool, NOT fully screened. Great kid and pet friendly neighborhood. Older established street with lots of shade trees.
The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.
The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!
The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

When we walked in, we were very pleased! Everything was clean, and was as described on the site. Everything was working. Good location, close to the places we wanted to visit. Instructions very clear.
Absolutely PERFECT! Host were very quick to respond, the absolute best VRBO experience I have ever had. The house was very nice, clean, well equipped and perfect for a large group. I highly recommend this home and especially these host David & Patti.
Nothing but great things to say about this property. My family used up all amenities from the pool, and the fire pit almost every single night. I 10/10 recommend this property. Amazing host, and property has everything you may need to enjoy your stay.
The check-in process was simple. The home was clean and equipped with everything we needed. Response from the host was automatic when I had a question. Peaceful neighborhood... Stores, beach all nearby... Sigh. The worst part was leaving lol. Can't wait to stay here again.
We were able to ride our bikes from the house to different places near by that were good to visit such as Anastasia SP, the Lighthouse and bridge of Lions.
Perfect house for what we wanted, we were looking for a space where 3 generations of my family could hang out, swim, cook and enjoy each other's company! Kitchen was well stocked with cutlery and cookware, beds were extremely comfy, road was quiet and the hosts were responsive, would definitely stay again!
This house had everything we needed for the whole family. Plus it is located perfectly between historic downtown St. Augustine & St. Augustine Beach. We will definitely be renting again in the future.
This property was a great location and offerred everything you might need for a one week stay in St. Augustine, FL. Would recommend and stay at this location again.
Location is perfect. The house was spotless and had everything you could need. Communication is amazing and easy. Will definitely be staying there again next time we come back.
Great place! Pool is fantastic! Love the twin beds in with the king size beds. Our son loved being able to stay in the same room. Just few small things that were strange.. like telling us not to pee on the seat and the heated pool was apparently set to 85 but no way it was that warm. Great location. Next time we will stay when it’s warmer so we can use the pool more. We actually loved staying in at night cause the house was so perfect for us.
The property was great and exactly as listed. The layout and amenities were perfect for our trip. The host stayed in contact with us and made sure all was good. So close to all that we wanted to do while visiting St. Augustine. I would definitely stay here again, we had a fantastic time!
We enjoyed our stay very much. The house was large enough for all 10 of us . The 4 children had plenty of room to play and everyone loved the pool. Location was good close to both the beach and attractions downtown
This is a great property. It has a perfect location close to everything. The hosts were very responsive and easy to contact. The home was very clean and had plenty of room to spread out. We will definitely look into this place when we venture to St. Augustine again.
We loved our stay at David and Patti’s home in St Augustine. It was such a cute home and close to the beach! I loved the outdoor spaces, it was really cozy. The pool was a great size as well. There were king size beds in each room and they were actually COMFY! Probably the first time I’ve slept in a comfy bed at a rental. I’ll definitely be back! Thank you again! 😎 🏖️
Nice walk-in shower. Nice pool. Missed not having garbage disposer and ice/water thru refrigerator door but adequately
provisioned otherwise. Ten-minute drive to most attractions.
Convenient location that accommodates a variety of ages
We traveled with teenagers and another couple with a 9 year old. The king beds in every room made great sense for adults with littles who want them close by in a twin. The kitchen provides plenty of space to move around but the patio was the true hit! What a super gathering space!
Comfortable, quiet and clean location. Could use board games, cards , etc. for rainy days. Maybe a beach ball or floats. We all had a great time, I was impressed, location was perfect not centralized in the middle of busy St. Augustine but , yet close enough to attractions.
