Lion's Sail Island/Beach/Pool
This charming Davis Shores neighborhood is one of the most sought after little niches on the island. A community of towering Oak Trees, sidewalks for riding bikes or walking your dog. A place where children play and neighbors know each other’s names. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Intracoastal on the other, it is a sleepy little setting close to beautiful beaches and a good walk to historic downtown, where you can get swept away with the stories of people and architecture from hundreds of years ago. There, shops and local artistry line the streets and so many restaurants with tantalizing scents and aromas wafting out their doors to tempt you to try their specialties. One as sumptuous as another…The clip clop of horse's hooves as the horse and buggies meander past on the cobblestone streets give a graphic depiction of what this may have looked and felt like days gone by. Leave the bustle of downtown behind as you cruise back to Lion’s Sail for cocktails by the pool, a barbecue in the backyard, or a leisurely swim. The fresh salty air still lingers here as the beach breezes blow past. Only a quick bike ride to the State Park Beaches or a quick drive to all the others, but you have Nirvana right here at home at Lion’s Sail, so put your feet up and relax. You can jump back into the action at any time. But for the moment, let time stand still and enjoy this space, this time, this place. Welcome to island time. Welcome to Lion’s Sail. Enjoy this zen space…

A couple complaints. The couch wasn't clean and the floors had food on them. The website, sent through VRBO wasnt accessible. Thankfully, we havebvisited multiple times, so we knew what the town had to offer.
Lovely home, with all the amenities of a home. Beautifully decorated and located within a few blocks of the Alligator farm and very close to historic parts of St. Augustine. Beds are comfortable! Would recommend to seniors, or families. Plenty of places to eat.
Beautiful home, nice private yard and pool. Perfect location for beaches and town. Hosts responded immediately to our questions. Would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a great spot in the St Augustine area, and definitely hope to come back in the future.
We really enjoyed our stay at Lions Sail! We had plenty of room for our family of 5. Our kids loved the pool. Perfect location with a short drive to downtown or the beach. When back in St. Augustine we will definitely consider this property.
This place did not disappoint! It was exactly as pictured online and was perfect for our entire family and pet. We couldn't have asked for a better stay. Communication with property manager was quick and timely.
Everyone slept well and comfortably!
We had a wonderful family reunion, vacation at Lion’s Sail. The location is great with quick access to downtown St Augustine, Anastasia State Park and the lighthouse. The house was clean, cozy and well-equipped. The backyard was lovely and we enjoyed relaxing there. I highly recommend this property.
Very tastefully decorated and furnished. Was clean and appropriately stocked with everything in the kitchen you could need. We would stay there again.
Only slight negative is it is a bit further from the city center than we thought.
We really enjoyed the house, nice and clean and well equipped specially the kitchen, nice patio, and we liked that it was pet friendly, just make sure you informed the property manager at the moment of the reservation about the pets you are taking because if you don’t do it on time they will charge you double the pet fee, that was our case 😫, but overall the house and location is excellent!
My business partner and I decided to have a meeting and bring our families along. The house was great, we had ample room and were able to bring our dog as well. Place was comfortable enough to have my family and my business partner”s family over for pizza and conversation.
Proximity to all of the sites was great, Less than 4 miles to most areas we wanted to see such as the fort, the lighthouse, the beach and old downtown. Would stay again in the future.
Upon arriving entering was easy. House is Wonderfully clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked, Ready for us to relax. Everything was in order. Host was easy to communicate with. Beds are WONDERFUL, a Huge Bonus! I will add that the stairs are slippery, use with caution. We also had our two fur babies. The older could not manage his toenails on the stairs. No, problem, he stayed downstairs. Keep this place Proper, or the Host will threaten to charge you.
Rough start to the stay..great communication and resolution
Air was frozen and tv was busted. Filter didn’t look changed since the unit was installed. Serviced and worked perfectly. TV was replaced and the rest of the trip was excellent.

Round two stay.
This is our second time at this property. Our first time was great it was well maintained and clean. This time not so much, the lawn was foot high and when I called the property manager they told they notified the owner but it was up to them. From a cleanliness perspective the place was fair. My wife has allergies so I checked the HVAC filter and it hadn’t been changed in a year so I replaced it myself. The place had a for sale sign out front so I assume the owner was more concerned with selling the property than continuing to rent.
House was in a really great location. Nice , newer house. Very comfy beds. Cons - floors were dirty - would catch dog hair when walking in socks. Bed linens had hair. Bed linens and wash cloths had stains. Master bath was tight and could not easily fit more than one person at a time. Pool does not have a cover so any rain or wind would blow debris into it and we would have to clean it out. Overall, nice place just needs better cleaning.
We had some out of state family come down and meet us at St.Augustine for their first trip to our nations oldest city. Our families had the best time and this home certainly helped us to enjoy our time in St.Augustine. The neighborhood was quiet and peaceful and the home was so easy to find yet so close to anything we wanted to do. The home was comfortable for our group of 9 and well equipped from board games to kitchen utensils and anything you might need to enjoy some island time in St Auggie. The pool was perfect to cool off even though it was small our group had a great time enjoying the backyard amenities. Near dark you’ll definitely need to retreat inside as the insects were swarming and exposed skin, was their favored meal. All in all we had a wonderful time and great communication with our hosts throughout the process!
