Bright 1940s beach cottage with cabana plus private pool

Anastasia Lodge Cabana

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Kick back in this stylish vintage beach house, situated in the historic 1940s motor court right on scenic A1A, steps from the ocean! Anastasia Lodge Cabana is located on the Golden Mile of Old St. Augustine Beach, so this coastal haven is walking/biking distance to local restaurants and just a short drive to historic downtown.

The main home boasts two inviting bedrooms, and the third bedroom is a separate cabana out by the pool offering a futon bed and half bathroom. Additional amenties include a full kitchen, surf and paddle board, a grill, a plunge pool, and towels. A pool bath with an outdoor shower for beach days is located in the private courtyard. Just bring your suitcase and enjoy a calming retreat by the sea! You'll find cable TV and free WiFi here for all your entertainment needs. Central air-conditioning keeps everybody cool, and a private washer and dryer makes laundry easy.

This bright and airy jewel was deemed the Anastasia Lodge Cabana by local surfers and beach-goers due to its relaxed old-Florida appeal and ideal location, near the most gorgeous surfing beaches around. This historic cottage is located on the vast, non-driving part of the beach, across from the entrance to the beautiful Anastasia State Park; the views are absolutely pristine!

The State Park is full of nature and bird preserves. Your peaceful morning walks will go on for miles filled with endless natural beauty - it's a photographer's paradise! Peek out the living room windows towards the Anastasia State Park Beach Access just across the street, then walk out the front gate and stroll over to put your toes in the sand or have morning coffee at the famous FA's Cafe! FA is an old local surfer's term for First Access to the surf break/waves. This is a perfect spot for swimming, fishing, or watching local paddle boarders and surfers enjoying our salty St. Augustine lifestyle near the Pier.

Walk right across the street to the Wednesday morning oceanside farmer's market for local goodies or walk next door to Salt Life Food Shack for lunch with ocean views, just minutes to the downtown shopping & nightlife!

Nice place but listing is misleading

The place overall is nice and is in a good location near the beach, Anastasia park, and restaurants. The listing had heated pool in the amenities but the pool was not heated which we were notified after we booked and were unable to get a refund. The listing also says 3BR/2.5BA, but it’s really 2BR/2BA. The pool cabana and beach equipment is unavailable to guests despite being in the pictures and advertised in the listing.

Great stay with two families

We stayed 3 days here with two families (4 adults, 3 young children) and it was a wonderful stay! The bungalow is small but enough space for privacy and shared spaces. The kids shared the sofa bed (there are two). The pool is small but enough to lounge and for us to do a few strokes. We used it at least twice a day. The kids loved it. Kitchen is ok- enough for us to do two pasta meals and a lot of restaurants that are walkable or short drive - lots of good food. Its noted the oven doesn't seal well (we didn't use it) and same with the freezer - it would sometimes pop open. Used stove. There are some beach supplies we used which was great. Location is at end of beach - walkable 1 block or drivable. It is close the city of St. Augustine - we went into the city twice too. Only wish was more towels, but they did have a washer dryer so it was fine. It was great for us for a low key relaxing beach stay.

St. Augustine wedding

The home is amazing. We were there for my son’s wedding in town. The location is perfect. Beach is across the street, restaurants in walking distance, stores close by. The home description on your web site needs to be adjusted to show as a two bedroom. The third bedroom is not a bedroom. It is a pool house with a futon. The pool house smells of a strong chemical smell and dead ants keep reappearing on the futon daily. A human can not sleep in there for fear of health issues with the smell and ants biting them. We did count of that bedroom as a room and it was a problem with a bedroom not available. A member of our party had to sleep on the main living room couch. We had an infant and the room needed to be available during the night and early morning hours. With someone sleeping in living room it was difficult for my daughter to care for her baby and difficult for my son to sleep. For the next renter that should be adjusted to show two bedrooms. We really did enjoy the home. It was a very relaxing atmosphere. The back yard is so much fun. We enjoyed the pool. Thank you for renting to us for our mini vacation for my son’s wedding.

Only 10-15 min drive from Old Town. We did not have trouble getting an Uber to and from. Beautifully updated, spacious, and comfortable. Our only wish is that we could’ve stayed longer!

Cozy beach house

This little house was very cute and fit our family's needs - two adults and two teens. There are two bedrooms and two living areas with pull out sofas. Overall the place was large enough for our family of four. Having the pool was nice when we wanted to get a break and the covered back porch was wonderful for watching the rain. This is an older house so if you have an expectation of large and spacious areas you should reframe your perspective. If you like 50s / 60s cottages then this is your cup of tea. The location of the house is convenient to the beach, the pier, and to some really cute dining establishments. We enjoyed listening to the music from Salt Life in the evening if you are on the back deck. We had to work with the property manager on two separate issues (very loose bedroom door knob and a broken lamp) and they were responsive and helpful for both incidents. The house was clean when we arrived however I would recommend that the cleaning crew dust the air vents from time to time. One point of caution regarding the wood deck - splinters. We would highly recommend not walking barefoot on them as we had two major splinter incidents during our stay with each splinter being about an inch long. Thankfully we had packed a first aid kit and all was well but the decking is wood and it is subjected to Florida weather and a pool. Overall we really loved this house and would highly recommend it! Its a true gem.

Celebration at the beach!

We spent 3 days at Anastasia Lodge having a bachelorette weekend. There were 7 of us total. This is a great location. The pool in backyard was essential and pretty much where we hung out. Lots of room and space to spread out. I would recommend a beach cart if you plan to go to the beach. It is about a 7 minute walk if you use the cross walks. The beach is beautiful and there is a large splash pad. You are right by the pier but it is $2 per person to enter the pier. You are at minimum 15 min to the main downtown part of st Augustine depending on traffic which can be nuts at certain times of the day. Take an Uber! The house itself is pretty private. It was quiet and the pictures are accurate. We all slept comfortably. There was a bed in the little pool house but it’s more like a massage table and the pool house has a very strong chemical smell. Can’t imagine sleeping in there. There is a 1/2 bath in the pool house which was nice. The kitchen is fully stocked. It has a single bullet blender and no crock pot or cutting board (at least I never found them). We had to call and request extra washcloths, a sponge, and trash bags and they were all brought right over. The home is beautifully decorated and again looks like the pictures. 2 queen beds and 2 queen sleeper sofas. Now for just a few negatives. Seems like the cleaning crew needs some attention to detail. The bedspreads and pillow shams all need to be washed. The ones in master room leading to pool especially! There were food crumbs under the dining table and some other random places that got missed. The front of the refrigerator had not been cleaned for a while. I think the floors needed a good mop. Maybe they just got vaccuumed but need to be mopped and I only found a broom and a bottle of Windex. The outside trash was an issue. It was so full from the previous renters it was hard to find a place to put any of our trash. 2 cans and 2 recycle bins were packed when we got there. Not sure if the trash didn’t get taken out on the prior Monday but it smelled bad and was right next to the grill. Not sure if we were required to recycle but if we are 2 cans inside should be provided. One for trash one for recycle. To address previous reviews..the towels and sheets were all clean and fresh. Both beds were very comfortable so maybe one of the mattresses got changed. I did not sleep on either sofa but no one complained about them. Overall weekend was great!
