Best of all, complex is located right on St. Augustine Beach!

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!

Husband and I stayed 4 nights. Great vacation. The location was great. Easy access to the beach, a few steps away. Great restaurants nearby, lots to do. Downtown St. Augustine not far. David and Patti were great, made you feel welcomed. We are looking forward to booking another stay.

Disappointed

The owners seem like lovely people and communicated promptly when I had some water problems. Unfortunately we were disappointed with the outdated and poor condition of the furnishings. The couch is a dorm sized couch and sunken in. The condo is dark and a bit depressing. The location is convenient.

Primo beach access- if that’s your primary motivator.

Overall, acceptable, but not Excellent. Refurbished older unit. Rather small unit. In fact, be careful to not hit your elbows on counter while on the commode. We had to sweep the kitchen upon arrival due to sand being all over the floor. The tile grout throughout the unit is nasty dirty, black. The best aspect of this unit is its closeness to beach access, like steps away.
The sand in kitchen and the black dirty grout.

Wonderful stay

Great stay! We just left after 8 nights and are already looking to see if we can swing another trip before the end of summer. Location of condo is great, perfect for beach access with a 1 and 2 year old. The first night we had an issue with the mattress and the property manager showed up within 2 hrs on a holiday weekend with a replacement.Great restaurants nearby are A1A burrito works and Salt Life- ate at both twice! You can also rent beach chairs from drifters and they set them up on the beach right outside the unit.

Convenient Beach Access

Will definitely return to this very comfortable & clean condo.Best of all access to the beach is right out the patio door. The deck down to the beach is a very nice ramp with no steps. The convenience of this condo to the parking lot makes loading/unloading easy.There is no ocean view from the patio but bring your binoculars to watch the birds and turtles around the dunes from the patio. Loved it !!!

Perfect getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our stay. It was steps to the most amazing beach. You could walk, bike on hard sand and drive 4 x 4 vehicles on the beach. The condo had everything you need to cook meals, grocery stores nearby.The beds were comfortable. Great restaurants and attractions are close by. We would definitely stay here again!

Awesome hosts!!

This place was so clean as well as awesome location!!! We LOVED being able to take walks on the beach without having to fight for public parking just to get access! We also enjoyed being not far from downtown St. Augustine. If we needed anything, the owners, David and Patti, were so quick to respond. We hope to return soon and look to book them again!

We had a great time in St. Augustine, so much to do there. This St. Augustine Ocean & Racquet Club condo we rented was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed and walk out your door and right to the beach, which was very nice! Loved it! Can't wait to go back again.

You really couldn't ask for much more! Great location, airy and light decor, everything you need is furnished and just steps away from the ocean.

Everything worked out good. Had a couple hiccups when we arrived. The were taken care of imediately. Loved the location of this unit it was right at the beach. Beach was beautiful. Plan on going back next year. If i could make a couple request. Install ceiling fans in the bedrooms. Add a tv to the second bedroom. Update the tv in the living room to a smart tv. I could not use the service I use as I could not load the apps. SImple things add up.

Wonderful winter getaway

We had a great experience during our stay. St Augustine beach is beautiful, great for long walks, and the people (and dogs) are friendly. This condo was just enough for the two of us. Clean, well equipped and just a hop over the boardwalk to the beach. Enjoy the sounds of the surf right from the condo. Owners were easy to communicate with. Thank you for a great break from the Indiana winter blahs!
