About this house rental
Welcome to the Sea Turtle Beach Retreat! This gorgeous and cozy island heated pool home is in an amazing location convenient to the beach and historic downtown area. Our home is very close to the beach, just a 4 minute drive! Just a 5 minute drive to downtown where you can visit historic St. Augustine, it's culinary pleasures and it's vibrant and festive lifestyle!
In the hot summer, cool off in the sparkling waters of pool and then dine poolside at our outdoor dining area. In cooler weather enjoy the heat of the pool! For you grilling connoisseurs, we have a park-style charcoal grill outside next to the pool for your grilling pleasure!
With five bedrooms, all king beds, and a bright and open floor plan in the living room, there is plenty of space for everyone to stretch out and relax.
The pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. It’s not possible to raise the temperature above 85 degrees, the temperature range is set to protect the health of the pool (from algae growth) and the equipment. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated.
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.
The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!
The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

The house was just as it is pictured. My family (high school/ college ages) enjoyed this vacation a lot. The accommodations were just right for our group. There were plenty of towels, cookware, etc if you want to stay close to home. And the beaches and St. Augustine sights were all close. The colors and decor of the house are all so pleasant. There were even cozy blankets that we brought out to the living room. (We stayed over New Year’s and a couple of days were cool.) We still made use of the heated pool and beaches when the days were warm enough! I slept in the master bedroom and the bed and pillows were so comfortable! We would definitely stay here again! We had fantastic communication with the owners about checking in and out. Very attentive to if we needed anything.

The pool was lovely temprerature and so nice to relax in. There were some empty beer bottles left on the back porch that were not ours but we cleaned those up when we checked out. Overall the check in/check out process was very easy. Location was great. We were there for a concert at the Amp and it couldn’t have been any more convenient. Also very convenient to the historic district (only a short car ride away). Would definitely stay again the next time we need a family space in st. Augustine.
