Sail Away - Relaxing, Pet Friendly Beach Retreat with Heated Pool!

Welcome to the Sail Away Beach Retreat! We have a heated private pool at the property! Free access to Anastasia State Park via neighborhood beach gate!

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay. Newly furnished, spotlessly clean, nautical themed- 4 bedroom, spacious ranch in the heart of Anastasia Island.

On a cul de sac, we are only 3 miles from St. Augustine city! We are also 0.7 miles (less than a 15 minute walk) from the St. Augustine Amphitheatre! King beds in two bedrooms, and bunk with twin in kids room. There are also 2 single sized futons in the Florida Room. Everything you need from a fully appointed kitchen, dining room, free WIFI, huge 86” Smart TV, atrium play room for kids! There’s even a lemon and fig tree you are welcome to when they ripen! Wonderful sites, such as the Alligator Farm, Lighthouse, Farmer’s Market weekly at St. John’s pier, all will add to your vacation.

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!

We provide a neighborhood beach gate code. You can walk to that access, you may not leave a car there. Free beach access included with rental does NOT include driving access to Anastasia State Park.

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 Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

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 pool heater thermostat is set to a temperature between 78 and 85 degrees F, depending on the time of the year. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 60 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated.

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.

EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

Perfect location
We like to travel with our dog and was searching for a place close to the Saint Augustine amphitheater. This place was close enough that we were able to walk to the show. The property has several isolated areas in the yard which was nice for the dog to explore. The heated swimming pool was a bonus for the teenager. A nice quiet neighborhood for walking the dog. All this property sits close to A1A the noise from traffic passing by in minimal. By far, one of my most pleasant VRBO stays, I look forward to returning to this property next time I’m in Saint Augustine.

Very nice stay with one weird experience
The house was as advertised. Spacious, fairly clean, and a great location. The pool was a lot of fun for the family. Definitely bring your own toilet paper. The limited supply provided was the thinnest we’ve ever encountered. Which is to say it was useless. We left some quality TP behind for the next guests. One odd experience: I left to meet with a friend only to return home to the owner in the garage. My wife and kids were alone at the house and this man simply let himself in the house without any prior notification. He was only there to put garbage out, but still, it was uncomfortable and inappropriate. Otherwise, it was a great stay. Four stars and recommended.

Cousin's vacation
4 adults and 6 children ages 4 to 12.. This was the best vacation ever. The sisters in law had a great time being together and i loved watching the grandchildren play together. The kids swam all day everyday and loved having their own space inside. They loved being able to play with one another all day and night. Thank you for a wonderful time with cousins. We'll always remember the time we had.

Exceeded Expectations!
Booking anything online is taking a 50/50 chance on it being great or completely awful. I must admit, this house exceeded our expectations when we walked in. I can’t comment enough on how clean it was! Beautiful house and nicely decorated to make you feel at home. The pool area is very spacious with patio furniture and the led lights around it are the perfect touch for evenings outside. The location is in one of the best spots as it’s close to everything! Communication was prompt and very friendly when I had questions. And a huge plus is that they allow small dogs so we were able to bring our baby with us. This house will definitely be our go to house when we stay in St. Augustine.

Three-day getaway
Great location for everything. Convenient to shopping, Historic area of St. Augustine, Pier Park, Anastasia State Park. The private pool with its landscaping and ample furniture was amazing. We had to pry my grandson out of it to go anywhere else. Three bedrooms gave us ample room to spread out. The huge TV in the living area was nice for unwinding in the evening, as was the adjacent Florida room with its TV and Foosball table. We didn't utilize the kitchen much, but it is amply stocked for an extended stay. Dave is, as all the reviews say, very responsive. Highly recommend this rental.

Read listing carefully
The house was nice but it is listed as a four bedroom. I wasn’t aware that a Florida bedroom is a screened in porch with a pull out sofa bed. I wouldn’t say this was an actual four bedroom, where I come from a bedroom is an actual bedroom.

Nice place in St. Augustine
We like the property and the location. The house is spacious and clean. The location was great, being central between Old Saint Augustine and the Coastal restaurants and stores along A1A. The heated pool was a selling point, since previous house rentals with pools in FL during Spring Break were not nicely heated when the air was cool and breezy. The owner was responsive, friendly, and easy to talk to.

Wonderful Vacation
We LOVED our stay at Sail Away. The host was great with communication. The house was clean and spacious. Our kids loved having a pool and spent a lot of time playing in it. The house is in a quiet neighborhood and close to everything. We could walk one mile to the beach. St. Augustine was a short drive and we loved exploring downtown. We also enjoyed St. Augustine Beach and the yummy restaurants that were close by as well. I would highly recommend Sail Away and if you haven't visited St. Augustine it is a must. It's a beautiful city with lots of cool history.

Sail Away was just as described. The backyard pool was beautiful and private. We enjoyed our morning coffee, sunbathing, and our evening glass of wine on the pool deck. Property is a short drive to the downtown area, and Alligator Farm. Walking distance to the amphitheater, a food truck park and the beach! 10/10 would rent again!

Amazing Stay
Sail Away was an amazing place to stay. My fiance and I wanted a nice, relaxing trip and that's exactly what we were able to have at such a beautiful home. Everything was so clean and welcoming from the cozy decor to the open floor plan. The pool was a wonderful amenity for day and nighttime swimming. The location was ideal as we were just minutes away from the town and/or the beach. We were able to get the best of both world's since this house was conveniently located in the middle of both. David and Patti were wonderful hosts as they accommodated us when our flight was pushed back a day. They were very helpful with moving our reservation back a day without any hassle. They were extremely communicative, easy going, kind and welcoming.
