Island Retreat – Unit A

Island Retreat Unit A is an ocean view St. Augustine Beach rental just a few homes off the sand, with a rooftop deck and room for up to 6 guests. This second-floor home gives families, couples, and small groups a bright, comfortable place to settle in near the beach without giving up the everyday conveniences that make a trip easier.

The House

Island Retreat Unit A is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home that occupies the entire second floor, with 1,737 square feet that gives you more breathing room than many beach rentals. The open concept layout brings the living area, dining space, and kitchen together, so guests can cook, gather, watch a movie, or plan the next beach day without feeling split into separate corners of the home. It works especially well for a family vacation or two couples traveling together.

The home has been completely remodeled with granite counters and top-of-the-line appliances. The kitchen includes the essentials for real vacation meals, including a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, cookware, dishes and utensils, a toaster, and a coffee maker. That makes it easy to start the morning slowly, pack snacks for the beach, or come back from the sand for lunch instead of loading everyone into the car.

The sleeping layout is simple and comfortable. There are 2 king beds and a queen sleeper sofa, bringing the total occupancy to 6, and the two full bathrooms help keep mornings moving when everyone is getting ready for the beach or cleaning up before dinner.

The rooftop ocean view deck is one of the best reasons to choose this home. It gives you a place to step outside, feel the breeze, and take in the St. Augustine Beach setting from above the street. The home also includes a large private courtyard and access to a common outdoor shower, a practical bonus after sandy beach time. Inside, guests have free wifi and high-speed internet, a Smart TV with satellite and cable, air conditioning and central heat, linens and towels, a washer and dryer, an iron and board, and parking. The home is pet-friendly, so you can bring a dog to the beach for an additional pet fee, and the maximum number of cars allowed is 2.

St. Augustine

St. Augustine pairs easily with a beach trip. The nation's oldest city sits a short drive from the sand, with a historic downtown, a walkable bayfront, and centuries of local history to explore. You can spend one day in flip-flops by the Atlantic and the next wandering the old streets, browsing shops and restaurants, and taking in the landmarks that make the area worth returning to. Having a full kitchen and laundry back at the home means you can balance long beach days with downtown evenings at your own pace.

The Area

Island Retreat Unit A sits in the heart of St. Augustine Beach, one of the most convenient areas for a classic beach vacation on Anastasia Island. This is the part of town where days can revolve around the ocean: morning walks, beach time, lunch back at the home, and easy evenings out without feeling far from home base. For guests comparing St. Augustine Beach vacation rentals, this location is a strong fit when the beach is the center of the trip. You are close to the sand, close to casual local dining, and still within an easy drive of historic downtown.

Nearby, the St. Augustine Beach Pier is a natural stop for visitors who want a little more than a beach chair day, with ocean views, nearby public spaces, and the easy coastal atmosphere that makes this stretch feel relaxed and local.

Island Retreat works especially well for families or friends who want to stay close together without putting everyone in the same unit. First Choice Florida also manages the nearby sibling homes Island Retreat Unit B, Island Retreat Unit C, and Island Retreat Unit D. For reunions, wedding guests, or multi-family beach trips, these nearby units help everyone stay close while still having their own space.
