Our family of four (two teenage sons--18 and 15) enjoyed our 1st visit to St. Augustine Beach. The condo property was in a great location with restaurants, grocery, and other stores less than five minutes away. Cooler than normal temps prevented us from spending a lot of time in the ocean, but we took advantage of the nice beach, walking 2-3 miles every day. We were able to swim in the condo's heated lagoon pool, which was visible from the condo balcony. Historic downtown St. Augustine is 15 mins. away--well worth the drive to see the beautiful Cathedral Basilica and to have lunch at a restaurant overlooking the Bridge of Lions and the Matanzas River. There's a good mix of shopping and great sight-seeing in downtown, with numerous public and private parking lots in close proximity. In summary, I would definitely recommend this property (3BR; 2BA) to any family with 2-3 kids couples looking to enjoy a stay on St. A Beach and conveniently located to both grocery stores, restaurants, and the historic St. A downtown area.
