Bring family and friends to this spacious beach house with great views on the second street back from the ocean. The master suite is on the ground level with a King bed, sitting area and gorgeous bath area with separate shower and Jacuzzi garden tub. There is also a queen bedroom and adorable young persons room with daybed that subs as a playroom on the ground floor. The middle floor has 2 smaller bedrooms with two twins each and an adjoining full bath. The top floor is a 1000 sq ft of open planned living/kitchen/dining areas.
All renters interested in this home need to realize that this subdivision is a family residential area and we want to be very, VERY careful about the quality and size of the groups that rent from us. Spring Break groups, high-school vacations, and all manner of non-family rentals are strictly prohibited. Misleading us to believe otherwise results in immediate eviction and forfeiture of both the balance paid and the deposit (as we are fined heavily and have families to support as well ^_^).
Lots of granite counter space for your gourmet chef, a sleeper couch and lots of seating to enjoy the fireplace in winter or large screen TV year round. Dining area has seating for ten. Then retire to the deck and enjoy St Augustine's best feature--the Atlantic Ocean. A private pool (heated during the winter by request) immediately behind the house makes a perfect addition!
Fully stocked kitchen with all new stainless appliances, large outdoor grill, washer/dryer, free internet service, free local calling, and of course all linens and towels. And yes we are pet friendly. Best of all: We live here and take pride in offering our guests the maximum in personal attention.
A billboard coming into St Augustine advertises miles and miles of the most beautiful beaches in the world ... and the rest is history. We are the nation's oldest city, settled in 1565 by Spanish soldiers under Don Pedro Menendez de Aviles. No one should miss touring the historic district, walking down St George Street, seeing how King Phillip's soldiers lived in the Castillo de San Marcos or perhaps taking a carriage ride down cobblestone streets. The Flagler era has Henry Morrison Flagler's original three luxury hotels steeped in history as well as his Memorial Presbyterian Church, the finest example of Venetian Renaissance architecture in America.
The kids will love the Alligator Farm, the oldest attraction in the state of Florida and take then on the free boat ride out to Fort Matanzas, the back door fort that ended pirate raids in 1742. You are also only 10 minutes from Marineland and about 90 minutes from Mickey Mouse and/or the Space Center. If you get really bored call us for a boat ride in the magnificent harbor adorned with sail boats and the Bridge of Lions. Your host and local historian extraordinaire Gary Hartley might even give his personal insights for those brave souls who yearn for "the rest of the story."

Home Information at a glance:
General Property Specifications:Two story, split-level home, living room, first floor patio, second floor open balcony, VCR/DVD, Jacuzzi garden tub in master bedroom, granite full service kitchen.
Beds/Bath: Master - King / 2nd bedroom - two twins / 3rd bedroom - two twins / 4th bedroom - queen / Additional - Queen sleeper couch, double futon in a sitting room, 2.5 baths. Master bath has a garden Jacuzzi tub plus a walk-in shower.
Pool and Hot-tub situation: Heated private pool (please see our amenities page on our pool policies) and Jacuzzi garden tub in master bedroom. As with all our heated pools, they just burn through the utilities at a fantastic rate (roughly $100 per week of use). We're happy to heat them on request, but we do ask $100 per week for the service. Just let us know if you'd like us to turn it on for you! Also, the pools aren't meant to get warmer than about 85 degrees so please don't try to heat them beyond this point. We turn off the pool heaters from mid-April to mid-September for this reason as well. Thanks!
Distance to Beach: In most of our homes we shy away from oceanfront properties because of their expense (double the mortgage means double the rental price, unfortunately). You're in a fantastic location just one residential street off the beach. Cross that, walk over the bridge across the dunes, and you're right there - 2-3 minutes tops! Please do read some of our renter reviews for this home - I think you'll agree that we don't get complaints about the location!

Furry Friends?: This home is pet-friendly! I have four kitty-catos myself, so I know your pets are very likely just part of the family! As such, we wouldn't think of charging extra. We don't charge for "extra" for kids, parents-in-laws, or Uncle Phil, so why pets? We do charge an extra 50% deposit (i.e. $750 on the homes or $450 on the condos/townhomes), but this all comes back to you if the house is left in the same condition in which you found it. Beware, though, that a pet problem is one of the three times we've ever kept someone's deposit (the other two were smoking in the house and general spring break destruction). Wet-dog smell can be very difficult to remove! Please do read our pet policies (click here for those - Pet Policies) and our security deposit FAQs page for more information (click here for those - Security Deposit FAQs).
Rates: At Hartley and Sons, all our properties have a standard winter and summer rate. But we also offer savings and charge a premium for various times of the year depending on our usual traffic. We take pride in our transparency of our rates. All the properties have a single rent price, a cleaning fee, 6% sales tax and 4% tourism tax added onto the total.
