St Augustine Sailfish Cottage in Saint Augustine Beach, Florida

Sailfish Cottage is a perfect little hideaway. Tucked in a very quiet and upscale condo community, you’re a moment’s walk from gorgeous St. Augustine Beach and a short drive to the many attractions of the city itself.

This idyllic beach retreat sleeps four guests in two bedrooms. Pets are welcome too, and provided ceramic food and water bowls will make them feel right at home.

Choose Sailfish as a romantic retreat for two, or a great vacation rental for a family of four. Both bedrooms have queen beds and share a full bathroom.

Decorated in great style to a very high standard, the home’s warm cream furnishings and ocean blues make the most of the sun-lit space. Tile floors are lovely to come home to, just slipping off your flip-flops to tuck on the sofa for a movie. Two facing couches are more than enough space for yourself and three guests - it’s a ready-made space for chatting, playing cards or enjoying a cocktail.

Delight in staying here during the winter months, when the fireplace is lovely to return to after an atmospheric beach walk. With a fully stocked kitchen to use, you’ll need somewhere of equal merit to enjoy your meals or gin and tonics. A private patio is mighty nice. Afterwards, the secluded hot tub is even better.

Every morning, treat yourself to a delicious breakfast (healthy or not - who’s counting, it’s your vacation), then pad five minutes down the beach through a quiet neighborhood. It’s very safe for children as there are no streets to cross.

Four-star Surf Crest complex has a fantastic pool available and, with only forty-eight units in the complex, is very quiet. Your privacy is paramount. Very convenient, too, are the in-suite laundry facilities. You can pack as lightly as you like!

Leave the car parked securely in the complex and enjoy St. Augustine’s surrounds on foot. Within walking distance are a dozen great restaurants, so you’ll never need to taxi home after enjoying a bottle of wine. Kids will love mini-golf, watching fish from the pier and beach volleyball, too.

I think you'll love being in St. Augustine Beach, also. You're within walking distance of a dozen great restaurants, mini-golf, the Pier and Wednesday evening volleyball games and concerts. It's a great way to get away from the world and relax!
