Pelican - Pool and Heated Spa, Walk to the Beach!

New and cozy one bedroom downstairs unit by the beach. House is located at the end of a quiet street with no through traffic. This unit is located less than one minute walk to the beach in the heart of Butler Beach in St. Augustine. Wonderful neighborhood with quick access to Publix supermarket and other shops and restaurants. Pool is accessible to our guests year-round and is heated 9 months of the year (not heated Dec - Feb). Downtown St. Augustine is only a 10 minute drive away.

This apartment is located on the first floor of a new three story house. Owners occupy part of the first floor and all of the second and third floors. The house sits on a hill, which you will need to walk up from where you park. Please ask us about it if you have mobility limitations. We allow our guests to use the pool and try to give them their space. Of course sometimes we do use our own pool! The hot tub is heated on demand and our guests may use the hot tub once at no charge. After that we have a fee.

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill.

Butler Beach, where this house is located, is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the northeast of Florida. It’s an expansive white powder beach! You’ll find fisherman, bikers when the tide recedes, walkers, surfers, kite boarders, shell gatherers, and of course sun bathers! St. Augustine city center, only 10 minutes north, is the most ancient, gorgeous city in Florida...and America for that matter! It hosts restaurants, stunning historic churches, some of the finest art galleries and a myriad of chic boutique shops. The first Friday of every month features an Art Walk, where some galleries even serve refreshments and stay open in the evening. As you walk cobble stone streets you have opportunity to explore history all around you, often hearing church bells. You can sight see through horse and buggy or trolley tours, or just shop til you drop! You will want to return year after year!

We have two beach chairs available for use at the property. 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.

Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.

We do not heat the hot tub during tropical storms or hurricanes. 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.

Great place!
loved this place. Very quiet and clean. Just a short walk to the beach and not far from all the shopping and restaurant's. The host is very easy to reach and responds quickly. I also loved the shower:) Nothing worse than wanting a good shower after a day at beach and having wimpy water pressure. This is not the case here. I would definitely stay here again.

Empty nester getaway
This was the perfect location for a couple of empty nesters who no longer have to haul a wagon full of toys to the beach. We loved the house, the decor, the location...everything. The hosts were appropriately communicative. It gave us a good balance of proximity to the beach and to historic St. Augustine. We hope to return next year.

Cozy, Comfortable and Great Location
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very comfortable, well stocked and clean. Proximity to the beach was great and we were close to everything you need - grocery stores, retaurants, coffee and donut places. The owners were very helpful and easy to contact. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you!

Everything about this property is perfect, and David and Patti were excellent! The house was clean and well-stocked, with everything we needed for our short trip to St. Augustine. The beach is a very short walk from the home. We will be using this house again in the future.

Great getaway!
We had a wonderful time at this property. Owners were very helpful with checkin/checkout processes. Just enough space for our family of 4. Enjoyed private deck and lots of pool time each day. Short walk to beach which was wonderful to come back for lunch, pool and rest time. Private pool was a great perk after beach time! Only a 5 min drive to A1A beach area and 10-15 min drive to St Augustine. We love the location as it was off of populated beach area which allowed for more privacy. Owners were respectful of our family on property as well! Would highly recommend for a getaway or small family vaca!

Nice apartment
We had a short stay at this apartment but enjoyed the time we were there. The apartment was very clean however it could use a little refreshing. What concerned us the most was the driveway which was steep. Plus, parking at the bottom of the driveway made loading and unloading difficult. I would be afraid to walk on the driveway on a rainy day. The kitchen was stocked nicely with dishes and spices if cooking is in your plans. The beach is only a couple of blocks away which is great for those vacation plans that include the beach. The “rules” of the apartment were appropriate but the multiple signs in the apartment were distracting to the decor. All in all, this is a nice apartment and anyone who rents it should be pleased.

The property was in a great location for us because we enjoyed our frequent walks on the beach, drives to local state parks, and visits to the historic city. The unit had most everything we needed for a month long stay and the bed was very comfortable. The private deck space was nice too.

Lovely apartment
The apartment was so cute, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked. The bed was especially comfortable. We weren't thrilled with the location, but that's just our personal opinion. We would have preferred being a little closer to restaurants, other activities, and Old St Augustine. The nearby beach was beautiful, but the rainy weather kept us inside a lot. Owners were very helpful and friendly.

Wonderful place to stay!
Met expectations. Thoroughly enjoyed the property, it was very clean. Plenty of room for my spouse and me. The location was good and it didn’t take long to get to the restaurants 5 minutes or downtown 10 minutes. Walking to the beach was pretty good. The public access was down a sandy path was a little difficult. The pool was beautiful. I mentioned that the water was freezing. They said it was 82 degrees and they had just went swimming. So I got my confidence up and put my foot in. This time I was going in and see if I could get used to the temperature of the water. And yes, it didn’t take long to get used to the water and the temperature was fine. It’s just a little chilly when you first get in. Be careful with the steep driveway. So remember if you have a bum knee you will need to drive up the hill and get out then the driver will park at the bottom. Owner’s mention it the information on line that they can help. My husband and me are so thankful to the owners. Can’t say enough about them. Our car engine blew and had to junket and then find another car to buy. David helped talking it over and finding the help we needed. Perfect Place to stay!!
