Cottage Castaway - Chemin privé vers la plage, belles vues, table de ping-pong !

Enjoy a memorable beach vacation with your family and friends at the Castaway Cottage Beach Retreat! This beachfront oasis is just steps away from the shore via your own private walkway where you can dig your toes in the sand or search for sea shells. Sometimes you can even get a glimpse of some of our Florida wildlife on your walk to the beach, such as rabbits or tortoises. When you return from the beach, or from exploring the historic downtown district, you will be able to relax in this two-story slice of paradise. Your morning coffee can be sipped on on the deck as you watch the sunrise and listen to the waves lap at the shore.

Bring your surfboards and boogie boards and use our private beach walkover to get you to the waves! This home is perfect for two families to share, as the two levels of the house have their own private entrances and there are no stairs inside the house that connect the two floors! The bottom floor has 3 bedrooms (one with a king bed, one with a queen bed, and one with 2 twin beds) and one bathroom. The upstairs has 2 bedrooms (one is the master with a king bed and the other has a queen bed) and 2 full bathrooms. The full kitchen is located upstairs and there is a kitchenette downstairs.

From time to time, you may notice a friendly face - our garage is used only by staff for operations (or owners) and is not available to guests. Rest assured, we deeply respect your time and space. Our team is usually nearby if you need us.

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!

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.

Per St Johns County regulations, only ten people are allowed per rental, not counting children 12-years-old or younger. That means this property is allowed up to 10 adults and the rest of the guests must be 12 and under.

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.

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.
