The property gives guests access to a large heated swimming pool and fitness center in the clubhouse, just across the pond from the condo's back door. Other things to note I often get asked why it's called the Sandy Anchor. There is a picture inside the condo that tells the story, but I figured I should share it here as well. My father was born in the Netherlands, just a few miles inland from Europe’s largest port of Rotterdam. The Dutch are known around the world as a seafaring people, but not my father. In fact, the ship bringing his family to America when he was just five collided with another and had to return to port. My family has lived in St. Augustine for almost 40 years. A few years ago, we rented a pontoon boat for a day on the Intercostal Waterway. As we stopped for lunch, my father tossed the anchor towards the marsh. As it sank out of sight, my brother calmly asked, “Shouldn’t that be tied to the boat?” And thus the legend of the Sandy Anchor began. Enjoy your stay! Note that local zoning rules dictate rentals must be 7 nights minimum. I'm willing to work with you if it's a couple of days shorter by simply blocking off the other nights, so please inquire with any questions. One reserved parking spot is provided with the condo along with 2 guest passes (required) for any parking in the visitor spots. Loss of parking pass will incur a $25 per pass fee for replacement. When using the communal heated pool guests are required to bring the provided pool passes. Loss of pool pass will incur a $25 per pass fee for replacement. Please do not bring any grills, including electric, during your stay. The community prohibits them. Pets are also prohibited. If a pet is found during you stay or upon checkout, a $500 fee per pet will incur along with immediate termination of your stay without a refund.

Great location and accommodation was as advertised. I really appreciated the owners quick attention when we had an unexpected problem with the fridge. He and the manager provided quick temporary solution until repaired. I would definitely stay again.

This condo was perfect for our first St Augustine getaway. It is clean and well-appointed. There are several restaurants within walking distance. The beach is across a road that can be busy at times. The owners of the condo thoughtfully provide a beach wagon and accessories to make the trek to the beach easier. I love that the unit is ground floor. The overall place is very quiet. Perfect for families.

Very comfortable and close to pool. I found the condo to be clean and ready for checkin. St Augustine is a lovely place to vacation and have family reunions there was only four of us and had plenty of space.
I would book this unit again.

We have stayed at this complex for many years, in different units. The location to the beach and restaurants is great. The complex is gated & very nicely maintained. We had a little mix up at check in, however once we contacted the owner the situation was resolved. They surprised us the next morning with a card & small token of apology. We love it there!

The cookware was unusable so if you are going to cook, please bring your own pots and pans. The condition of the condo was OK but could have been cleaner. King bed slept good (it had a box spring) but the guest bedroom did not have a box spring....it is a platform bed. It's alright if you are a really short person or a child but not suitable for elderly adults.

From start to finish our stay at Peter's Sandy Anchor condo was amazing. He was wonderful to work with and the accommodations were lovely. The complex as a whole is in a great location and there were many wonderful families and residents on the grounds who we enjoyed meeting. We had a truly wonderful time! The condo is spacious and accommodated our family of six, including one teen who got her own room!

This was our first time renting with Vrbo and we couldn't have been luckier with our condo or found a better host! Peter is VERY responsive to his guests! During our stay we had a few simple questions and almost immediately he responded.
The condo was fantastic!! The front hall has 2 of the first 3 guest rooms, then an open concept "living space" for family gathering followed by a nicely sized master suite. The chosen decor is simply and tastefully done.
St Augustine beach is literally across the street!! St Augustine is a very walkable town. Publix (the main supermarket) is just straight down the road in a shopping center about 5 minutes away so you can get everything you need to fix meals in the lovely condo kitchen. Downtown Augustine is about 10 min away and you can spend a few days being entertained there with museums, parks, restaurants and outlet shopping. But if you want to stay close, A1A Beach Blvd has restaurants and diners as well.

Great place to stay!
We had a wonderful time at the Sandy Anchor. Plenty of space for us to sprawl out (2 adults, 3 kids). Everything was neat and tidy and the kitchen drawers and cabinets were all labeled, making it easy to find everything. Communication with Peter was great and he always responded quickly to my questions. The location was great, as we were close to everything. We all got lots of use of the pool too! Would definitely stay here again!

The Sandy Anchor in St. Augustine Beach
We have just spent 2 weeks at the Sandy Anchor and loved it! The condo is spacious and clean and well decorated and felt quite homey. The location is great also- just across the road from a great beach, the Pier, restaurants and shopping. The complex itself has a large heated pool with lots of seating and a lovely pond with fountain, ducks and turtles. The condo itself has everything you need for your stay. We will definitely stay there again!

Great Location
Would stay here again, so easy to walk to beach and restaurants. Would have liked a table and chairs on the porch to eat breakfast at and have cocktails in evening. The condo is decorated really nice. All the comforts of home. Cozy up the patio and it will be perfect!

super nice condo walking distance to the beach and pier
The condo was very pretty and much larger than it looks in photos. Loved the huge master suite with a gigantic soaking tub. We had 7 people and it was just fine size wise. Only items I would suggest is a few more dining chairs and maybe a table w chairs for the lanai. Will stay here again! Very attractive community with a resort style heated pool and gym and clubhouse so you had the resort amenities but it was quiet and peaceful (not like a hotel). Owner was very responsive and helpful.

Relaxing Vacation
Awesome vacation!! Perfect location with an inviting and comfortable atmosphere to relax. Walking distance to several local restaurants and literally across the street from the beach. Highly recommended whether traveling with family or just a couple getaway (which we did). The place was well kept, roomy and it felt like “home away from home”. We enjoyed our stay so much that we opted one extra day - thanks to the owner. Our first trip to St. Augustine and won’t be our last 😎�

Resort was very nice. Easy walk to the beach and world famous Rita’s Italian Ice! Only short coming we saw is that dining table in the unit was inadequate, too small.

Home Away From Home
This was out first trip to St. Augustine and the Sandy Anchor was definitely a home away from home. There were seven if us total and the condo had plenty of room and all the amenities you could want. The property was also super clean and beautifully decorated. The complex was also beautiful with a fountain, pond and even some adorable wildlife in the form of turtles and ducks. The location was right across the street from the pier and ocean as well as great places to walk to eat or get ice cream. It was also about a 10 minute drive from downtown St. Augustine. Perfect location!! The owner was also super nice and responsive to our questions and even let us know that the property was ready for early arrival!!! I highly recommend the Sandy Anchor and would definitely stay there again!!

Great location.
This was a perfect location for a family. Condo is about 10 mins from downtown and only a few minute walk to the beach. Condo is across the street from the pier and is near many restaurants. The condo itself is very clean and has everything you need for your stay. If we were to go back to st. Augustine, it would be hard to stay anywhere else.

Can't Wait to Come Back!!!!
We were in town for a family wedding in the White Room and had multiple families staying at St. Augustine Beach. The location was perfect! Short walk to the beach, restaurants, shops and our to other family who were there.
The condo was very clean and had plenty of space for all us (were 6-7 people at any given time during the week). Having a pool to jump in after the beach was a plus. We even used the fitness room.
The owners responded within minutes when we had questions and took care on everything for us.
Would definitely recommend this rental to anyone coming down to the area. We are hoping to make a return trip soon!
Thanks for a great week:)
