Welcome to the Paradise by the River Beach Retreat!

This is coastal living at its finest! This beautifully renovated house is just a short 3 minute drive (or 15 minute walk) to the closest beach access. Kick back and relax in this calm and stylish space. This beautifully furnished home offers a brand new kitchen and bathrooms, a comfortable open floor plan and plentiful natural light inside.

Our living area contains ultra-comfortable couches and chairs that will instill in you a sense of peace and serenity that might encourage you to spend a family night in, watching movies and sharing a bowl of popcorn.

With an island, plenty of space, and all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you could wish for, the kitchen at Riverview is so well-appointed that you might be tempted to cook a big meal for the family. If you are wanting to eat out St. Augustine is the place to be for foodies! Ask us for our favorite recommendations.

Vaulted ceilings in the family room gives this generous room an even loftier feel while relaxing after a lovely day at the beach! The slider opens to an extended Florida room, perfect for entertaining or just enjoying beach life! Outside the home is surrounded by a canopy of mature oaks and a peaceful backyard. From time to time, you may notice a friendly face - our garage is used only by staff for operations (or owners) and is not available to guests. Rest assured, we deeply respect your time and space. Our team is usually nearby if you need us.

The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house.

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.
