Shell Shack - St. Augustine Beachside Resort Condo
About this condo rental
Nestled in Butler Beach, this charming condo for $158 per night is a great choice for your next trip. Beautifully decorated & upgraded beachside 2 bed/2bath ground floor unit with an assigned parking spot right next to your patio entrance. Natural light fills the condo. The patio gets plenty of sunshine from its southern exposure positioning so it offers a great place to enjoy your coffee in the morning, wine at night, or to catch up on your tan. The sunshade allows for a private outdoor experience when you just want to sit quietly alone listening to the ocean waves crashing along the beach. Hibiscus Condominium Resort was conceived with relaxing seclusion and natural luxury in mind, Hibiscus Condominium Resort covets a gorgeous slice of St. Augustine Beach not easily accessible to the throng of tourists flocking to North Florida’s beaches. Miles of private property with private beach walkovers separate you from the public beaches. The Hibiscus private access boardwalk even features a gazebo for overlooking the ocean from the shade. The resort offers 3 pools (Middle Pool heated in winter Nov - Apr weather dependent) with BBQ areas, 2 spas, tennis court, club house with picnic area and Wifi, a rooftop deck with ocean views, private beach access with beautiful native landscaping throughout. Showers on the beach trails to wash the sand off before going back to the condo. Wind your way through the lush landscaping. As the sun sets, and the stars emerge, take a bubbly dip in either of the hot tubs. Enjoy the roof top deck only offered to the residents of the I-Building where there are magnificent ocean views to the east and tree tops surrounding the intracoastal waterway to the west. Condo Unit I-102 is a short stroll to the beach with the lush dunes being only 700 feet away. Easily communicate via text message or phone call if anything comes up during your stay. On-Site resort office can assist during business hours as needed as well. Got a 4x4 Truck or SUV - Bring it along as St. Augustine Beach has beaches you can drive on and you can park right next to the Hibiscus Resort Beach Access during the day. Why carry your stuff to the beach when you can drive it there! Don't lug your beach toys and supplies to the beach but rather drive it down and easily unload next to your beach spot! Beaches you can drive on range from the heart of St. Augustine Beach A-Street south through Crescent Beach. Other beaches in the area also offer 4x4 opportunities such as the Vilano Beach Access a short drive to the North and through Downtown St. Augustine. Uber around town if you do not feel like driving! Downtown St. Augustine is a short 10 minute trip north from the condo. The St. Augustine Amphitheater is 7 minutes north. The St. Augustine pier, A-Street where the famous Jacks BBQ Beachside Bar, Mango Mango's, and Beachcomber are just a short few minute drive north on A1A. Other well known places to eat nearby include Taco Shop (A1A Burrito Works), Salt Life, Playa Chacmool, Sunset Grill, Obi's, Zaharias, Saltwater Cowboys, Hurricanes, Oasis, and many others. Matanzas Inlet, Marine Land, South Beach Grill, Surf-Station 2, and many other attractions are a short drive just south of the Condo. Up for an adventure visit Fort Matanzas via a free pontoon boat shuttle or walk the undeveloped coast north of the pier at Anastasia State Park. Get some exercise and see history visiting the St. Augustine Light House. The view from the top is worth the trip alone. Want to see any type of crocodile or alligator in the world? Visit the Alligator Farm. Many unique restaurants and shops are throughout the downtown area and St. George Street is a must do visit. The Castillo de San Marcos is a fort that was once used to protect the downtown St. Augustine area from Pirates and you can hear the cannon's firing even to this day.

My husband, our almost 2 year old son and I had a wonderful time! Location was great. Check in was easy. Property was clean!

This condo was perfect for our vacation! We had some air conditioning issues and the owners were super responsive and took care of everything right away, far exceeding our expectations. The condo was perfect for our family of 4. The boys loved the bunk beds and the Xbox. The kitchen was really nice and had everything we needed. The walk to the beach was easy and short, and it is so nice of the owners to leave chairs and toys to use. The pools at the complex are really nice and usually not crowded. We loved St. Augustine all together and will definitely be back! We would 100% rent this place again!!!

Can’t beat this location. Hosts were very responsive. Fridge broke 4th of July morning and while they couldn’t get anyone out there, they did say they would refund us a portion of our stay. Great value.

This condo was awesome especially for a family. The kitchen is huge and has so much counter space. It’s super clean and the owners supply you with paper towels toilet paper coffee plenty of towels. They had plenty of beach stuff on the porch to play with too. The beds were very comfy and the master bathroom was very spacious. We enjoyed our stay very much. We will definitely be coming back.

easy check in, clean place, host very easy to message and quick responses. I will say building I is located further away from the beach than we tesized but a short walk through the complex.

We were very happy with our stay and have stayed at other condos in the same complex before and this by far was the nicest and fully stocked with every we needed.

This location was such an amazing balance for our needs, beach within walking distance, multiple pool options, and hosts that were so easy to communicate with. We had such a great time we will be looking to stay again next year. Great time!

Overall a great stay and property and location. The building themselves are not well marked so initial locating the condo was challenging especially when the entry door to the hall way was not marked and I was unsure if that door was an condo door and would get shot upon entry. Accessing the condo itself once I located and had the keys in hand was also challenging as the hallway entry door you have to twist and turn the handle and wiggle and turn the key to get the lock to unlock. Once inside then trying to use the separate patio door key revealed that this key simply does not operate that lock. But hey the place was great but do watch the master bedroom bed posts at the foot of the bed as they are turned outward and the feet posts are real toe stubbers. We set a bag in front of them to remind us so as to not ruin our vacation with any broken toes. Our daughter and son-in-law stayed in another condo about two miles down the beach and we had the three grandsons with us and they enjoyed the split level bunk bed with a pullout on the bottom for the little one, the regular level bed for the middle grandson and the top bunk for the oldest grandson up on top. They had a blast at the beach. And I totally never even knew that there was a roof top patio available so I never even went up there. Definitely would rebook again. And to say the least I even tried my hand with the X-box but didn't have too much luck. But this is the first VRBO that I ever stayed in that had an X-box. So kudos to the host. I do suggest that if you use the X-box that you don't forget to delete your profile from it before you leave, that thing had like 30 profiles on it from prior users. OMG no need to bring towels, they had so many towels!! We did bring along our air fryer from home but that is nothing against the condo, just a suggestion if you are going to stay there for an extended period and won't be eating out a lot like we did. Nice touch in the bookcase was a book on Florida's sea shells and that fit right in with the "Shell Shack" theme. The wi-fi was good and fast as well. So enjoy your stay as we did.

We underestimated how convenient the patio is to the parking space. We loved this feature! We used the heated pool. We used rooftop deck at night & loved the boardwalk to the beach.
5.0
Overall we enjoyed the stay and condo. The grounds and pools great. I did discover when going to dry towels and swim ware that towels were left by cleaning people in the washer that had been washed and then the mattress cover for that bed was in the dryer still, might want to address that with the cleaners. The couch was not comfortable at all, batteries in one of the remotes were dead and i didnt have any. Last we had no dishwasher detergent to clean dishes had to borrow one to clean. Otherwise a good place to visit. May want to upgrade the furniture a bit. Thanks for having us

We had a great stay! The bunk beds with trundle were perfect for my kids, although the oldest decided to sleep on the pull out sofa. Beds were comfy and condo was much brighter and cleaner (& renovated?) than the units my other family members were staying in

We loved our stay at The Shell Shack! The property is located next to Butler Beach which is a beautiful, clean beach. It was easy to access the beach. The pools on the property are clean and well maintained.
The Shell Shack is spacious and fully stocked with everything you need, including a couple beach towels, beach chairs and umbrella. We loved having ground floor access with the car parked right outside the patio. There are bushes that give you privacy on the patio and we enjoyed just relaxing outside on the couch and chairs. It is an easy drive to downtown St Augustine and there is a Winn Dixie and Publix just 5 minutes down A1A.
Kyle & Jessica were easy to work with and definitely provide a great vacation spot!

Spring Break
We had an enjoyable stay at this clean VRBO, and the pictures were accurate for the accommodations. We took advantage of the short 5 minute walk to the beach — we went there every day. We also used the pools, hot tub, nearby gas grills, and tennis court during our stay. Thank you to the hosts for a great stay.

Perfect stay
We stayed here through Thanksgiving. The condo was well equipped for our family of four. Very clean and perfect location. We spent time on the beach and the historic downtown is very close by. We would definitely stay here again!

The Unit itself was clean and much more modern than the rest of the condominium community. Compared to other condos in the same price range, there seemed to be much more room, especially in the common areas. The kitchen was large and open, unlike the galley kitchens that I often see in condos built in the same time frame. The fact that Netflix and Disney Plus were included was nice, especially since Tropical Storm Elsa affected our stay. The only cons were that the batteries were dead in the remote for one tv and both Xbox controllers, and the community pools were small but functional. The building itself appeared to be in the middle of some much-needed renovations, and some of the common areas are deteriorating.

Amazing Family Getaway!
Condo was clean and matched the description and photos. Resort was quiet and family friendly. Jessica and Kyle were responsive to questions I had during booking, but I didn't need to contact them at all on our stay because we had everything we needed and they sent detailed instructions prior to our stay regarding check in, etc. Condo is on the farther side of the resort, but not too far of a walk to the beach. Enjoyed the roof top deck and access to 3 pools, 2 hot tub and grills for cooking. Met lots of other families, everyone was so nice. Recieved many great dinner recommendations from others that have been to St Augustine. Safe Harbor is a must! Food was excellent! Waited a bit for food to come out, but it was definitely worth it! Just go early enough to accommodate the wait time. Other great places were Sunset Grill, Beachcomber and Burrito Works. Kookaburra Coffee has excellent coffee! We hope to visit the Shellshack again in the future!

If not for uncooperative weather this would have a great vacation. The unit was clean and nice and just right for my wife and I. The beach was just a short walk away, and it was just a 10-15 minute drive to St Augustine. The pools were close by and made for a nice couple of days when the sun was out and the weather was warm.

This place was everything we hoped it would be! We were there for six days of relaxation, beach, historic district, great food and plenty of bliss. The owners are attentive, the place is spotless, the beach is beautiful and St. Augustine is fun and educational. We really did hate to leave!

Great vacation spot.
We enjoyed many things about this property: kitchen is large with latest appliances and easy to prepare meals and entertain.
Large master bedroom with a comfortable bed, guest bedroom bed is large enough for adult guest, comfortable bed. Bathrooms were updated, three large tv's with many streaming channels, plus cable.
Parking access is great we only used the front door twice.
The walk to the beach is an easy stroll with two seating areas next to the beach, one is covered and has open view of the ocean.
Our trip was cut short because of the coronavirus restrictions.
Kyle and Jessica were very responsive to all our concerns and responded promptly.
