About this property
Welcome to your charming poolside retreat at the base of the Bridge of Lions! This home draws you in with its inviting presence: a large front yard, friendly sidewalks, and a spacious front porch flanked by bespoke lion statues and an iconic old tree that exude timeless charm. Located in St. Augustine, this home places you in one of the most popular, vibrant communities in Florida. It's truly a blend of comfort, beauty, and just a short walk over the Lions Bridge into downtown.
The space
The front bedroom is an airy haven with windows nearly at every corner, filling the room with light and offering an en-suite bath that also connects to the hall for easy access. The primary suite is a true retreat, with an electric fireplace, a cozy sitting nook, and windows that pour in sunlight. Slide open the barn doors to enter the expansive primary bath, with new fixtures and a refined touch that invites relaxation.
The third bedroom serves as a versatile space, ready to be your study, workout room, or a place to unwind. Step outside, and you’ll find an upgraded tropical paradise. A luxury pool with cascading water features is surrounded by fresh landscaping, meandering pavers, and a Hot Tub. A bonus firepit area under a mature tree makes for cozy nights, enhanced by a custom mural by famed Florida artist David Nackashi.

Amenities
49 includedPelican’s Paradise is located within walking distance of everything. Easy and beautiful walk across the Bridge of Lions. The beds are very comfortable. My kids loved swimming in the pool and using the hot tub. We also loved playing pool in the evenings and riding the three bikes available to nearby restaurants. The house was very clean, comfortable, and spacious enough for 4 adults and 2 teenagers. The one thing I would recommend that I’ve seen other people mention is the house needs some sort of dehumidifier system. It smells very damp and that dank smell even traveled home on our clothes and beach towels and is noticeable a week later. It’s the first thing you smell when you walk in the door. The damp smell alone colored an otherwise great stay.
Home was beautiful and clean. We all felt right at home. Pool was fabulous and hot tub so relaxing.
Location, location, location and charm to boot! You simply could not ask for a better location (less than a block to Bridge of Lions, heading straight into the delightful historic area of the city). The house is furnished very professionally and has every kitchen item you could possibly want (including drawers and cabinets labeled with their contents). The swimming pool outback is delightful and the fully fenced backyard allows your little ones or pets to play safely. The hosts were extremely responsive to any questions we had. We would absolutely stay here in the future. Book early though-this one won’t last!

Amazing place to stay in St. Augustine. Comfy beds, a fully usable kitchen, and great amenities. It had everything we needed and was right over the bridge from all of our activities. Our Book Club loved the little library outside too, we left some James Pattersons for the next guest! We'd stay here again!
Walking distance to downtown. Had an incredible time.
We absolutely loved our stay! The location of the house was fantastic and made it so easy to walk into downtown every day, which meant we got to try even more restaurants and enjoy lots of great food 😉. Everything in the house was thoughtfully labeled, so we never had to guess what any switch did. Such a helpful touch! We’re already planning to come back again in warmer weather so we can take full advantage of the pool. Hopefully by then the two king mattresses get flipped, it might be time. Overall, we highly recommend this home for families and even couples. It made for a wonderful, comfortable stay.
