A short drive downtown

The Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street are about 18 minutes up the island, an easy drive for a full day in the historic city.

A short walk to the beach

Back at the house, Crescent Beach is about a 4 minute walk, so mornings can start on the sand before you head into town.

A quiet street to come home to

The house sits on a residential street away from the downtown crowds, with a covered hot tub on the screened porch for the end of the day.

A day downtown

Start at the Castillo de San Marcos, the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States. You cross the drawbridge over a dry moat to get in, see original iron and bronze cannons, and on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays you can catch cannon firing demonstrations. From there, walk St. George Street for its shops and restaurants.

In winter, St. Augustine's Nights of Lights display runs from November 21, 2026 to January 18, 2027, a good reason to plan a holiday week at the beach.
