The Space:
THE SKINNY: This nautical nest is a 4 bedroom home situated in uptown historic St. Augustine, a convenient and equally charming and attraction-filled extension of historic downtown St. Augustine. The home itself is steps from the legendary Fountain of Youth and is located on the world famous highly photographed oak canopy on Magnolia Street. Our town's best attractions, restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Enjoy a cozy night in front of the electric fireplace over board games like Jenga, heat up the charcoal grill for an at home-meal and let the kids climb all over the play set in the fenced in backyard! This house is spacious, with lots of room on the 1st floor for family or group gatherings around the dining table and kitchen bar. The open kitchen is fully loaded to allow you to entertain your whole group with ease. Lounge outdoors in the front yard and soak up some sun, or head out and explore the Fountain of Youth, which is just steps away on Magnolia Ave! Live peacock sightings are common on this street, under the shady canopy of the oak trees. Walkable to all of the downtown City of St. Augustine attractions - no need to drive! The nearby beach access in Vilano Beach is such a convenience, as well as a Publix grocery store, boat rentals, and many other fantastic nearby attractions and activities.
THE PROXIMITY: Most of my favorite local hot spots in this part of town are within a 5-10 minute walk of the front door! To name a few: "Smoked. Southern BBQ", Juniper Market, Sunday, Scoops, DOS coffee, Oddbirds Cafe, and walking down Magnolia Street to take in the gorgeous turn-of-the-century homes and oak canopy. Nearby attractions include the Fountain of Youth (also an excellent event venue for your wedding) and The Old Jail, plus the Red Train Trolley and the Old Towne Trolley both have pickup spots close by! To the east just a few minutes drive is Vilano Beach, an absolute gem of a beach location with an art deco themed grocery and shopping district. This home is drive-able within 35 minutes north to the best parts of prime Ponte Vedra for golf and shopping. To the south of St. Augustine is a highly popular area of Palm Coast, with aquatic attraction Marineland (a great place to indulge in outdoor fun) as well as golf at The Hammock (another hot spot for golfers) and the drop dead gorgeous preserve of Washington Oaks State Park, a must-visit! US1 and A1A are our main commercial corridors, equipped with shopping, groceries and restaurants of all kinds. This home is less than 5 minutes from Publix grocery store.

Deep sea fishing charters and boat rentals are also available in multiple places throughout town. Delivery bike rentals available via a local company. Contact me for recommendations.
LAUNDRY SERVICE: We have laundry machines in the house but on vacation, it's up to you if you want to do laundry at all! If you would like to partake, our brand new commercial laundromat The Queen's Laundry is offering pick up and drop off wash-dry-fold service to the St. Augustine area. The cost is per pound and they will work out payment with you directly. They simply ask for 1 day's advanced notice for a pickup request and a 24 hour turnaround time for completing and returning your laundry. Ask us for more information!
SECURITY DEPOSIT: In lieu of a traditional security deposit charge or authorization hold for a large sum, we will instead charge a one-time non-refundable incidentals fee to your stay of $149. This fee acts as insurance for minor damages and covers you up to a max of $1500 of damage. You may elect to increase your incidentals fee for more coverage ($99 for $1000, $149 for $1500, $199 for $2000 and so on and so forth). *IMPORTANT: Guests must report to us any damage that has taken place during their stay before checkout, otherwise the incidental fee coverage is null and void. In this case, we reserve the right to charge the full amount of repairing or replacing the damaged items to you. Your insurance coverage amount ($500, $1000, $1500, etc) is not the max that you are responsible for. If damages exist beyond your coverage amount we will document this with photos and professional estimates of repair, and bill you for the repairs or replacements.
