About this apartment rental
Southern Star Coastal Retreat
Your dream beach vacation begins here. Welcome to Southern Star Coastal Retreat, an oceanfront escape designed for families and friends to relax, reconnect, and make memories. With its cheerful coastal wallpaper, charming shiplap accents, and breezy private balcony, this retreat captures the essence of St. Augustine's laid-back seaside lifestyle. Sip your morning coffee as you watch the sun rise over the Atlantic, then step right outside to sink your toes in the sand—the beach is just steps from your door.
Inside Your Retreat
After a sun-soaked day by the shore, come home to a spacious living area perfect for unwinding together. Stream your favorite shows on the flatscreen TV, connect with loved ones using free WiFi, or gather for a family game night. The fully equipped kitchen makes dining a breeze—whether you're preparing a fresh seafood feast or just mixing up cocktails before sunset on the balcony.
Resort Amenities
This community offers everything you need for a memorable getaway. Enjoy direct beach access, sparkling shared pools, tennis and basketball courts, and a playground where the little ones can burn off some energy. There's something for everyone—whether you're lounging in the sun, playing a quick match, or exploring the nearby trails.

It's the perfect blend of comfort and coastal charm, with resort-style amenities that keep everyone happy—whether lounging by the pool, playing tennis, or exploring St. Augustine's rich history nearby.

10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
This was an excellent property, sparkling clean with a nice view of the water and beach access. The kitchen was decently stocked with most things for cooking, and parking was easy. We needed a pet-free property, and it seemed to be that in every way, except for the pet dish and leash we spotted under the sink.

10 / 10Outstanding·May 2023
Clean, need, commodious 2br condo with ocean view, easy beach access on well tended grounds. We were completely satisfied.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2023
We had a wonderful stay! The condo was clean, and nicely finished. Everything was just as described. The only issue we had were Poor instructions on how to enter the condo initially. We were told it was a code on the door, but it was a code to a lock box with an actual key. And everyone must go to the office and register their license plate in order to enter the gate during daylight hours. This was not relayed to us either. Other than these minor issues, it’s a great place.
