About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Shore Thing - gorgeous home with lots of space, one short block from the beach!

Welcome to the Shore Thing Beach Retreat! This beautifully renovated home has 4 bedrooms. Upstairs you will find the kitchen, living room, and 2 bedrooms (both with a king bed). Our kitchen is well equipped with everything you need to cook a meal for your family. You can relax on the comfortable sofas after a long day of exploring downtown or the beach. Downstairs there is one bedroom with two queen beds (and an en suite bathroom) and one king bedroom.

This property is located one block off the beach, with a short walk to the dune walkover. It's also not far from the historic downtown area.

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!

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

Wonderful property
Beautiful property perfectly situated a block away from the beach. The only thing that would have made it perfect would have been a Pool.

Perfect for our family
House was even better than the listing. Our toddler loved the back porch and we didn’t have to worry about stairs. Everything we needed in the kitchen. We are a picky group about beds and pillows, all were excellent. One of our best ever rentals.

Clean comfortable home almost on the beach
We thoroughly enjoyed our 4-night stay in this house approximately a five minute walk from the beach. Very comfortable in walking the quiet neighborhood each day. Close to birding/historical/beach activities in the area. House was clean and temperature comfortable. Great wi-fi, well stocked kitchen for cooking, great bed, large TV with good channel selection. Parking on site was ample and the property owners kept in contact with us before/during/after the visit to ensure we were enjoying our stay. We would definitely stay at this location again.

Great Birthday Get Away
The home was adorable and a short two block walk to a beautiful beach. We had 8 adults in our party and there was plenty of room for everyone. For 8 adults we could have used a few more towels and a little surprised shampoo/conditioner/soap - bodywash weren't included in the showers, but otherwise we had everything we needed.
