Bask in the balmy air and beautiful ocean and pier views at our condo at Pier Point South 55. Just steps from St. Augustine Beach, our well-appointed condo is ideal for a vacation combining laid-back beach time with fun in America's oldest city.

The balcony of our condo is the first place you'll want to explore . . . and probably destined to become your favorite spot. It has a nice view of the pier and the surf, with that salty sea air and murmur of the waves to lull you. Take your first cup of coffee out here in the morning, and you just might catch the last rays of dawn over the ocean!

The balcony is right off the living room in our airy, open-plan condo. Step inside and you find yourself on a cool tiled floor, with ultra-comfy couches and a brand-new HDTV with DVD player at your disposal. Stretch out and open that novel you've been meaning to read, catch your favorite show on TV, or treat yourself to a nap, the sound of the ocean in your ears. These little moments are sometimes the best part of the entire vacation.

The living room has room for the whole group, with one of the couches opening out into a bed for 2 in case the kids want to "camp out" or you have overnight guests. This room leads directly into the dining area, with a long, sturdy table for 6. Great for family feasts and game nights, this table is certain to become the nerve center of the condo, where the laptop is set up (you have free wireless Internet at Pier Point South 55), jigsaw puzzles are worked, and brochures to all the great sightseeing attractions are pored over.

Just beyond the dining area is our kitchen, newly renovated and a pleasure to use. The breakfast bar offers comfy stools for the sous-chefs, while the gleaming stone countertops make prepping and cooking just a little more fun. Stop at the grocery store on the way into town and stock up; our full-size refrigerator and cupboards have plenty of space, and we've filled the kitchen with cookware, dishes, and utensils.

A half-bath is convenient to the living and dining areas of Pier Point South 55, while 2 more full bathrooms are available for the 2 bedrooms. Again, you'll find all the linens and towels you need waiting for you here, so pack light! You can always use our washer and dryer to freshen up your vacation togs and beach towels!

We think that one of the most important parts of any vacation is getting a great night's sleep, so we've taken extra care to make the bedrooms at Pier Point South 55 soothing and comfortable.

You can see the pier and the ocean from this bed, and should you choose to leave the drapes open one night, you may be awoken by the magnificent sunrise!

The master bathroom is modern and streamlined, with a walk-in shower. The second bathroom has both a shower and tub option, and is located just outside the door of that bedroom. No waiting in line during the morning rush!

The second bedroom is light and airy as well, with a queen-sized bed, a bank of large windows, and plenty of space. You'll feel right at home here!
