About this house rental

Welcome to the Blue Heron Beach Retreat, a perfect place to kick back and relax! The pool is located in a large fenced-in back yard with plenty of privacy, just waiting for you to enjoy!

The living room is situated with comfortable sofas and is beautifully decorated. There is plenty of space for the whole family. Relax and enjoy your favorite movie or sporting event on the big screen. Also the home is equipped with WIFI so bring all the electronic devices and stay in touch with family and friends while you have the best vacation ever.

The kitchen is fully stocked with the appliances, cookware and tableware that you need to make the perfect meal. So whether you are preparing a large meal or just sitting and enjoying a morning cup of joe, this house has you covered.

Our home also has a full size washer and dryer, so you won’t have to worry about doing laundry when you get home.

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!

Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house.

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. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Monday night for Tuesday morning pickup.

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.

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.

This house was perfect for our needs. We loved that each room had a king bed and with all adults that is a must. The backyard and pool were amazing and we spent lots of time out there relaxing. It’s a quick drive to downtown and a short walk to the putt putt golf course and the local bar for karaoke. The house was clean and we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a great stay at the Blue Heron. We brought extended family and our dog. The property was roomy and comfortable for all of us. There was enough room in the driveway for two cars, and space in the garage as well.The best feature of this home is the outdoor space, especially the pool and the pool house with lounge chairs and a TV. Our dog loved the yard and all the gekkos and squirrels. The pool is on the smaller side, but was roomy enough to hold four adults and a toddler at one time. There were a lot of pool floats in the garage and behind the pool house, as well as a ton of beach chairs. On previous visits to Florida, we've had to rent or purchase those, so this was a nice bonus. We especially loved the location--only 5 minutes to get across the bridge and into historic St. Augustine, and 15 minutes or less to get to 5 different beaches! We did have a couple of minor issues, but the owner addressed them immediately. They are VERY responsive. We hope to visit again in the future.
