Just steps from the beach, our downstairs apartment at Golden Sands brings you all the perks of a prime location at a great price! With a pool and Jacuzzi, grassy yard. This beachfront venue is a steal!

Your first thought when entering this apartment will probably be, "Spacious!" There is a huge open-plan living and dining area, with one area set aside for the kitchenette, another for couches and chairs around a huge flat-screen TV. A cool tiled floor and light, airy atmosphere pervades this space, lifting the spirits. You've arrived, and now the murmur o the surf is your soundtrack!

One of the couches in the living room converts to a queen-sized bed, and both are heavenly for naps. After a busy day at the beach or in historic downtown St. Augustine, it's such a pleasure to come home to Golden Sands and collapse beneath the ceiling fan to watch a favorite movie or play a quick round of Outburst with the whole gang.

Our big living area has room for the kids to spread out all the shells they've collected on the beach, someone to set up a jigsaw puzzle, and another to read the Sunday paper in complete comfort -- all without getting in each other's way! If you're used to hotel rooms, you won't believe the difference having enough room can make to the quality of your vacation!

And whether you're looking to cook some homemade meals this trip or to sample some of St. Augustine's finest restaurants (whatever you do, don't miss don't miss Columbia!), you'll appreciate the convenience and contents of the kitchenette at Golden Sands. Full-sized appliances and cabinets full of cookware, dishes, and utensils make it possible for you to take the catch of the day and turn it into a feast, to be served at our long dining table beside the kitchen. This is a glorious place to be, with sliding-glass doors enticing you to step out and into the pool!

The dining room table is the nerve center of Golden Sands, and has been known to double as a computer center (you have free wireless Internet here, so you can stay as connected as you want to be!) and game table. Of course, there are many other tempting places to dine, from the casual seating around the pool to the beach itself, just a hop skip and jump away!

But Golden Sands is more than a studio apartment: two roomy bedrooms and a full bath, plus the sofa sleeper, make this apartment more than enough for 6 people.

One of the bedrooms contains a king-sized bed and sliding-glass doors leading out to the pool area, while the other offers a queen-sized bed and a private TV. The bath is modern and spotless, with both a shower and tub option. And you'll find fresh linens and towels waiting for you when you arrive, plus our washer and dryer to keep everything clean and fresh. We've tried to think of everything you'll need!

But the best part of Golden Sands is the location. Our quiet street terminates in the white sands of St. Augustine Beach, just yards from your front door. This is a family-oriented, unspoiled beach, great for shelling, beachcombing, sandcastle-building, and boogie-boarding. Bring your binoculars and chances are you'll spot our school of dolphins; even without glasses you can't miss the stately lines of pelicans that glide out over the water to dive-bomb for their dinner! The sunrises are lovely here, and if you climb up to the crow's nest in the late afternoon, you can toast the sunset, too!

Make your reservation to stay at Golden Sands today. It's got a great location and terrific amenities. You're in for an unforgettably relaxing beach vacation!
