Sand Pail Beach Cottage 3/2.5 +loft & heated pool

Your family will be close to everything when you stay at this centrally-located cottage. Just steps to the non-driving section of the beach and a stones throw to coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream, bike rentals and surf shops. The house has a large heated pool and outdoor seating for family with barbecue.

Two year old home, very private (fenced in yard), 5 houses from the non-driving section of the beach, with a private heated pool. We also have the same exact house located directly across the street (Sand Dollar Beach Cottage). Specialty coffee shop at corner, bike rentals, restaurants and shops a few blocks away. 3 miles from downtown!
What our guests say they love the most about the house:
- The design and decor of the house- simple, clean, and everything a family needs
- the heated private pool
- never having to drive, one block away is a boutique coffee shop (Kuckbarros), bike rentals for a ride on the beach, taco shop, surf shop (Pit surf shop), ice cream shop (cone heads), bathing suit shop (sunshine), barbecue restaurant (Jacks), seafood restaurant (high tides), ocean front restaurant (beachcombers) and more!
- Beach chairs, umbrellas, and wagon to take to the award-winning beach
- being able to take your furry friend on vacation and better yet, enjoy the beach.

We live on the island and are happy to help guests with questions

This house is absolutely perfect! Our family of 6 were extremely comfortable. Very short walk to the beach at the end of the road, and the beach wagon and umbrellas were a nice surprise. Having the private heated pool was awesome, as we didn't have to worry about anyone else around our teenage girls. Do not miss eating at Mango Mango's - the food was outstanding.

Family vacation

This home is in a prime location!!! i was extremely happy with the pool, the privacy was a plus, our trip to the beach was less than a 3 minute walk, the restaurants are fairly close by especially, Kookaburra which is literally right next door (their coffee does not disappoint/dog friendly) also don't forget to try their delicious quiches. Downtown St Augustine is a must(+++) it is within a 10 minute drive, there you will enjoy shopping and eating at lots of great restaurants. My family and i can't wait to rebook for next year's family reunion. Thank you again Brad !!
