Contact me for lots of insider local recommendations on what NOT to miss!
BEACHSIDE FUN IN THE SUN: Our beaches are unparalleled! We really know how to enjoy what nature has blessed us with here in our quaint little St. Augustine Beach. This home is situated across the street from the beach walkover on the other side of A1A which we can guide you to after booking confirmation. You can also drive to one of the public beach accesses to park and walk on.
TURN IT UP: Want to live on the edge? There are a couple of rental shops nearby where you can rent surfboards, paddle boards, snorkeling gear, you name it! 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 $99. This fee acts as insurance for minor damages and covers you up to a max of $1000 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.
Guest Access:
Entire space of this 4/3 home, pool deck and driveway is included in this rental. Please, make yourself at home.
This 4/3 is one side of a duplex. The other side of the duplex is not included in the rental. There may be guests occupying the other side of the duplex during your stay. They have their own parking area and entrance.
Pool and spa heat is offered at $350 per week or $60 a day. The spa can be heated year round. Pool heat is available only when the outdoor temperature is over 50 degrees (if under 50 degrees, we cannot guarantee the heater can maintain a swimmable temperature). The spa and pool cannot both be heated at the same time, only one or the other can be heated at a time (so if the pool is heating, the spa cannot be heated and vice versa).
The spa/hot tub is controlled virtually by the owner. Please let us know what time you would like to get in the spa (request 24 hours in advance) so we can begin pre-heating it for you. Once it reaches temp (99 degrees) the hot tub will run for 3 hours and then switch back to heating/circulating the pool to keep it from turning green.
Please do not go through the pool deck gate nearest the outdoor shower, that is a private area reserved for the guests in the other home.
You may hear the people renting the other side of the house occasionally through the walls.
For your security and the security of the property, there are cameras located throughout the exterior only areas of the home. There are no interior cameras on the property.
The Neighborhood:
Crescent Beach is a very eclectic local neighborhood! Feel like you are a true part of the St. Augustine community.
The boat ramp is right at the end of the street. Bring your boat and jet ski's along and drop them in just half a block away!!
Locally, we have several rental places where you can stock up on beach and water sports gear. Additionally, there is a service called Drifters that will come to the house to drop off bikes that you can rent at a daily rate.
A close and convenience restaurant a few minutes drive north is one of my all time favorites! - Back 40 A1A! You have to try the Chimmichurri Steak Quesadilla and Jerk Chicken Tacos!
Getting Around:
We recommend having a car to navigate around town. You can also rent bikes from Drifters bike rental delivery/pickup service.
Getting to the beach is safer now, with the safety crosswalk that was installed with stop light to stop oncoming car traffic, and allow your group to safely cross the street to the beach access.
Interaction with Guests:
I am here for you during your stay, but our level of interaction is up to you. I'm only a phone call/message away. You will be able to self checkin upon arrival.
