Serenity by the Sea

Serenity by the Sea is a St. Augustine Beach vacation home made for easy island days, poolside evenings, and relaxed family time close to the sand. This pet-friendly house sits in a beach neighborhood bordering Anastasia State Park, giving guests a quieter Anastasia Island setting with convenient access to the beach, local restaurants, shops, and the rest of St. Augustine.

The House

Inside, Serenity by the Sea offers 2 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, 2,641 square feet, and room for up to 8 guests. The layout works especially well for families or a small group that wants more privacy and breathing room than a condo, plus the bonus of a private pool and outdoor living space.

The main living area is bright and comfortable, with a TV and a fireplace. It feels like the right spot to land after a beach morning, a walk through Anastasia State Park, or a day exploring historic St. Augustine. A desk area gives anyone who needs a quiet spot a place to check email, plan the next outing, or get a little work done while away.

The kitchen is set up for real vacation meals, not just snacks between restaurant visits. Guests have a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, ice maker, cookware, dishes, utensils, toaster, and coffee maker. The open kitchen and dining areas make it easy to keep everyone together, whether you are making breakfast before the beach or grilling in the evening.

The sleeping arrangement is simple and useful. The primary bedroom has a king bed. The second bedroom has two queen beds. The living room includes a sofa bed. That gives families and small groups options without needing to divide the stay across multiple properties.

The outdoor space is the heart of the home. Serenity by the Sea has a private pool, hot tub, fenced pool area, fenced yard, fire pit, gas grill, lanai, patio space, garden setting, and outdoor seating, along with an outdoor kitchen area for meals outside. It is the kind of backyard that changes the rhythm of a trip. You can do the beach in the morning, come back for lunch, spend the afternoon in the pool, and still have a quiet outdoor place to gather after dinner.

Pool and spa heating are available for an additional charge and must be requested at least 48 hours in advance, except from Memorial Day to mid-September. Guests are responsible for providing their own propane for the gas grill. The home also has a Ring doorbell.

For everyday comfort, the house includes air conditioning, central heat, high-speed Wi-Fi, cable or satellite TV, linens, towels, washer and dryer, iron and board, parking, and contactless check-in and checkout. The home is also pet-friendly, which makes it a strong choice for guests who want to bring the dog along instead of leaving part of the family behind. Pets are welcome for an additional pet fee.

St. Augustine

Serenity by the Sea puts guests within reach of the classic St. Augustine mix: the beach, the Amphitheatre area, the Alligator Farm, the Lighthouse area, local restaurants, and historic downtown across the Bridge of Lions. You can spend the morning with your feet in the sand, the afternoon at the pool, and the evening downtown without making the day feel complicated. It is an easy base for a trip that blends beach time, nature, dining, and historic sightseeing.

The Area

This part of St. Augustine Beach is one of the best bases for a relaxed island trip. From here, guests can settle into the Anastasia Island side of town without feeling far removed from the rest of St. Augustine. For a broader look at this beach area, the First Choice Florida St. Augustine Beach neighborhood guide connects the stay with the surrounding location.

One of the easiest nearby outings is Anastasia State Park, a favorite for beach walks, wildlife viewing, paddling, and a more natural stretch of coastline. With the park right at the edge of the neighborhood, a beach-and-nature day takes almost no planning.

Because this is a standalone house rather than a condo in a larger building, there is no same-building sibling unit to link. Guests comparing beach houses in the same area might also look at Athena by the Sea, another pet-friendly St. Augustine Beach home that sleeps eight; Blue Ocean, a smaller pet-friendly home nearby; or Endless Summer, a larger beach house with room for the whole group.
