Welcome to Portside, your sun-soaked, boho-inspired beach escape in St. Augustine. Just steps from the sand and 5 minutes from the heart of the nation's oldest city, this end-unit townhome offers a tropical, design-forward vibe that’s relaxed, playful, and totally unforgettable.
If you like the vibe of a breezy mix of sunshine, rattan, and sea air, this is it. Portside is just off the beach in St. Augustine Beach, a light-filled end-unit townhouse with an ocean view and that’s quiet and private. It’s not overly styled or trying too hard. It’s relaxed, colorful, and full of natural textures that make you feel like you’ve really arrived somewhere worth slowing down for.
Our sister property right across the driveway, Anchors Aweigh, is directly oceanfront and can be rented with Portside. Portside has a vibe of its own- brighter, vibrant, and a bit more funky. We know you'll love it too. If you have a larger group and want to rent 2 units to travel with family or a group of friends, book Portside and Anchors Aweigh together to give you a 4 bedroom, 4 bath combination with plenty of room to spread out and have fun gatherings paired with privacy. Message Kim with any questions, and check out the link for more information and lots of 5 star reviews! https://www.vrbo.com/3890258
Inside the Space:
Designed with a fresh coastal palette, rattan accents, and soft natural textures, Portside feels like a boutique resort tucked into the dunes. As an end unit, it’s filled with natural light and added privacy, and you’ll catch a beautiful ocean view from the windows and upstairs balcony.
The primary bedroom has a king bed and a private balcony where you can feel the breeze and spot the ocean in the distance. The second bedroom has 2 double beds and will have twin bunks added this winter, which works great for families or small groups. Both bedrooms have TVs, but don’t be surprised if you forget they’re even there.
The kitchen is boho chic with newer stainless appliances. It’s stocked with what you need to cook a nice meal, plus a few extras we like to keep around just in case. The open living and dining area is filled with light, thanks to the extra windows in this end unit. It’s the kind of space where you can stretch out, kick your shoes off, and not worry about anything for a while.
Easy, Elevated Living:
- Open-concept layout where the kitchen, dining, and living areas all flow together with coastal ease.
- Breezy patio and plush, grassy yard, perfect for morning yoga or happy hour.
- Only a two-minute walk to the sand. No car needed. Just grab the beach chairs or hop on one of the beach cruisers provided and go.
- Pull into the private garage and you’ll find everything you need: beach chairs, 2 beach cruiser bikes, beach umbrella, beach toys and games, and a grill.
- Full access to the washer and dryer so you're always fresh for the next adventure.
- Just a short stroll on the boardwalk to the sand!
The Neighborhood:
This isn’t just St. Augustine. It’s laid-back Anastasia Island and St. Augustine Beach, where every day starts with a salty breeze and ends with a sunset stroll. Enjoy the 2 refreshing pools in Ponce Landing. The pools are heated when seasonally appropriate. Local cafes, taco joints, and surf shops are all nearby, and downtown’s rich history is just 5 miles away. It’s the kind of spot where you can do a lot or do absolutely nothing, and either one feels like the right move.
Portside is pet friendly! One pet is allowed with an additional cleaning fee and agreement to the HOA pet rules for Ponce Landing. Please indicate you have 1 pet (under the number of adults and children) when booking, and owner will email pdf of the pet rules after guest provides email address when booking.
Portside is playful, peaceful, and full of personality. It's the perfect end-unit hideaway for dreamers, families, and design lovers alike. Portside is easygoing, sunlit, and quietly stylish. Come experience the brighter side of the beach. We know you'll feel right at home!
