About this property

Serene 2-level home with WiFi & deck - walk to beach, 1 dog welcome

  • If you're looking for a cozy retreat by the water where the whole family (and even the dog,) can have a fantastic time, consider this spacious, four-bedroom home in a quiet, residential neighborhood. You'll be just minutes from shopping, restaurants, and pristine, sandy beaches.

    Conveniently located right off the A1A, only eight miles from the heart of St. Augustine, this comfortable getaway sits just a few blocks from the beach for fun-filled days of sun, surf, and sand. Less than two miles up the road, there are several restaurants, local shops, and even a couple supermarkets if you need to stock up during your stay. Visit beautiful St. Augustine where you can walk the ramparts of the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, the Castillo de San Marcos, experience three centuries of local history in the Colonial Quarter, and climb the 219 steps of the St. Augustine Lighthouse.

    Back at your home away from home, save some money and prepare meals in your full kitchen or relax outside and enjoy the ocean breezes from your second-story deck. Playa House is a two story rental with the main living quarters on the 2nd floor. The 1st and 2nd floors are connected by outside stairs.

    If you're planning a family vacation along Florida's Atlantic Coast, reserve this spacious home today.

    The rental is on both levels, 1 & 2. The 1st and 2nd floors are connected only from the outside, not inside.

Has good bones….

The reviews from previous guests are pretty accurate. The house itself has potential however it needs a good DEEP cleaning, some fresh paint and updating. The furniture is definitely either handmade or bought at yard sales. The porch really needs attention. The stairs that wrap around the front porch has one step the is short and steep. We called it the death trap. We just used the stairs that went straight down from the back porch. We could not access the bottom living area with the code given to us. We had to call and at the end had to get a physical key. The options for beds were good in the form of if you like hard or soft mattress. The second floor bedrooms were much warmer than the bottom rooms. And yes you have to go outside everytime to access the bottom area. The kitchen cookware needs to replaced. Most of the pans were close to falling apart at the handle. The dishwasher struggled to work. Unless you were physically holding the door closed until it gain suction, it would stop running. The upstairs bathroom has a bathtub however it didn’t drain properly and you were standing in water. The downstairs bathroom is in need of repair for the shower. The shower pan is definitely in need of attention, you can feel it move as you are moving. The TVs were very small and limited channels. There were no grill cleaning utensils that we could locate. Overall to be clear, this would be great for college students or young adults. We are experienced rental professionals.

The dining area was very spacious, and the kitchen was large enough to prepare meals comfortably, which worked great for our group. The rooms were clean overall, and the bathrooms, while on the smaller side, were well maintained.One thing to note is that one of the downstairs bedrooms does not have a traditional door—it uses a curtain—and it also houses the washer and dryer, so it can feel a bit like a laundry space rather than a fully private bedroom.Also, beach chairs are not provided, so I’d recommend bringing your own if you’re planning to spend time by the water.

Everything was great! The kitchen had everything you needed and more. I am a cook & baker, and there was everything I needed in the kitchen, from gadgets to baking pans, pots, and an abundance of dishes, silverware and glasses. Located only a couple houses from the beach, this was the perfect place for our family getaway. Check-in was fast & easy and communication was great.

We stayed in this house as a short summer vacation to celebrate graduation and birthdays. It was the perfect space for what we needed. They kids had their own space and it was just a short walk to the beach. We had a few minor maintenance issues which were dealt with in a timely fashion with pleasure.
