Just a minute's walk from the beach, Coastal Karma is a beautiful European-style house just right for your St. Augustine vacation. We've got a hot tub, pool, balcony, fenced grassy yard, and all the space your group needs for a great Florida getaway!

Coastal Karma has 5 bedrooms, plus a bonus room that sleeps one more. We have 3½ baths, a big covered patio with a grill, and even some peek-a-boo views of the ocean from the kitchen and dining area. This is a luxurious but very comfortable place to stay, and we invite you to make it your home base when you come to the northeastern Florida coast!

Bring the kids' Big Wheels and sidewalk chalk, because there's plenty of room to play in our backyard and on the patio. Our aboveground pool offers a splash of pure refreshment on a balmy Florida day, while the hot tub is a great way to limber up first thing in the morning and relax tired muscles late at night! Add the ocean into the mix, and you have nonstop water fun for the whole group.

You'll want to stay outdoors long into the evening, so pick up some burgers or fresh seafood at the market and plan to grill out at least once while you're here. Our new grill is easy to use and highly addictive, so if you're looking to economize a bit on all that eating out, we have one solution right here! (The other one is our kitchen, which will make you feel as though you're on the set of a cooking show!)

When it's time to go indoors, you'll be delighted by the breeziness of silent ceiling fans supplementing the central air-conditioning and the comfortable décor welcoming you to a place of relaxation. The main living and dining areas are on the second floor, but the ground floor contains 3 bedrooms and the bonus room with a futon sofa, TV, and foosball table.

One of the 1st-floor bedrooms includes an en-suite bath with shower and tub option. This room contains a queen-sized bed, soft carpeting, and a door right out to the patio. Of the other 2 bedrooms on this floor, one other also contains a queen-sized bed, plus a TV, carpeting, and direct patio access. The other offers 2 twin beds in an airy, carpeted room. A full bathroom is convenient to both of these bedrooms, with dual vanities and a bathtub/shower combination.

Travel upstairs and you find yourself in our luxurious living room, complete with a fireplace and elegant hearth, HDTV, leather sofa, travertine floor, and access to the balcony with lovely views of the countryside. Decorative pillars frame this room, which leads directly into the formal dining room with chandelier and wet bar.

The kitchen is breathtaking, with state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, tile floors, marble countertops, a breakfast bar as well as an informal breakfast table in a sunny nook. We've stocked the cupboards with all the equipment you need to prepare and serve a feast for the whole group (plus friends!), and you'll find all the time-savers you rely on as well: microwave, coffeemaker, ice and water in the fridge door, and of course the dishwasher!

But your favorite part of Coastal Karma may just be the master suite, with its heavenly king-sized bed, TV, French doors leading out to the patio (with glimpses of the sparkling Atlantic Ocean!), and en-suite bath with dual vanities, a garden Jacuzzi, walk-in shower, travertine floor and even a chandelier. Ah, what bliss!

You'll also find another bonus room on this floor, with 2 futon sleepers and a big TV. (Teens and tweens, this room is calling your name!) A half-bath and a big laundry room complete the 2nd-storey layout -- and you'll find all of the linens and towels you need for every bed and bath waiting for you here, fresh and soft. Pack light this trip!

When you stroll out onto the covered second-floor balcony, with its smooth brick floor and comfortable lounge chairs, you can survey the neighborhood, gaze down at the backyard and pool, and count the stars at midnight. There is such a relaxed atmosphere here, you will feel the stress melt away and you'll be ready for another vacation.
