If the beach is the reason you are coming to St. Augustine, this is the shortlist. First Choice Florida manages 37 oceanfront rentals and 55 homes and condos within walking distance of the sand – from Vilano Beach in the north, down through St. Augustine Beach and Crescent Beach, to the quiet end at Summer Haven. Every one of them is booked direct with the local team that manages the property. No booking fees, no middleman, and a real phone number that someone answers.
Two things are worth knowing before you choose. Oceanfront means the water is right there – you walk out and you are on the beach, and the sound of it is part of the stay. Walk to beach means a short walk, usually a few minutes, often with parking you do not have to fight for and a little more space for your money. Both put you on the coast. Which one is right depends on whether you want the view from the balcony or the extra bedroom.
Featured Oceanfront Rentals
Beach stays book earliest. Summer weekends, spring break and the weeks either side of the Nights of Lights season go first, and the oceanfront homes go before anything else. If your dates are fixed, it is worth checking availability now rather than in a few weeks.

Choose Your Stretch of Coast
Each beach has its own character. Vilano Beach is residential and close to the historic district, a short drive over the bridge. St. Augustine Beach has the pier, the farmers market and the widest choice of restaurants within walking distance. Crescent Beach and Butler Beach are quieter, with more houses than towers. Summer Haven is the far south end, where it is mostly you and the water.

Booking direct matters most on a beach rental. The same house listed on a large travel site carries a service fee on top of the nightly rate, and the people answering your questions there have never seen the property. Here you are booking with the company that manages the home, cleans it, and sends someone out when the air conditioning needs attention. First Choice Florida has done that in St. Augustine since 1998. Call 904-429-7373 if you would rather talk it through.
