Let's Connect

Your Hosts

What brings you to vacation in St. Augustine? For us it is because of our mother’s side of the family. Our grandma was an integral part of Florida School for the Deaf and Blind in St. Augustine. My mother, spurred by her wonderful memories of this area, even after she moved away, would always say “I just want to get my feet wet on the beach”. Loving St. Augustine runs thick in our blood! Our family has come a full circle as we’ve returned to settle in beautiful St Augustine. Now our two little girls are growing to love this community and getting their ‘feet wet on the beach’ often! Every weekend we discover the abundance of historical experience this beautiful city offers and welcome you to do the same. We are so excited to welcome you to our beach home. We tremendously enjoy traveling and exploring the world as a family. We try and plan at least one big trip off of our bucket list every year with our little girls. I have come to appreciate how much the quality of your vacation experience depends on the quality of the place you chose to stay. We have designed and organized our vacation homes with main focus being relaxation, unwinding, comfort, joy, exploration, and convenience so families and friends can focus on making beautiful memories.
