About This Building
Spanish Trace is a beachfront gated condominium community at the southern end of St. Augustine Beach, located at 1 Ocean Trace Road. The complex has 48 units built in 1974 across multiple low-rise buildings, with a mix of townhouse (two-level) and flat (single-level) floor plans ranging from 1,100 to 1,200 square feet.
Why guests pick Spanish Trace
Direct beachfront — Ocean Trace Road literally ends at the sand. The white-sand stretch at southern St. Augustine Beach is wider and less crowded than the central pier area.
Small community feel with real amenities. Forty-eight units across multiple buildings, large oceanfront pool, two lighted tennis courts, two shuffleboard courts, elevator service to all floors. The community is gated and pet-friendly for owners.
Walking distance to restaurants, grocery, and shopping. Less than half a mile to major grocery stores and two shopping centers. The Oasis Restaurant (live music, oysters, beer) is a short walk and a longtime favorite for visitors.
Spanish Trace has a strong repeat-guest dynamic. Reviews and rental agents both note that few owners rent their units, but those who do command premium rates and rebook the same weeks year after year. This is a building with built-in demand.
