Paradise by the River - Relax in Style! New Pool and Heated Spa!

Welcome to the Paradise by the River Beach Retreat!

This is coastal living at its finest! This beautifully renovated house is just a short 3 minute drive (or less than 15 minute walk) to the closest beach access. Kick back and relax in this calm and stylish space. This beautifully furnished home offers a brand new kitchen and bathrooms, a comfortable open floor plan and plentiful natural light inside.

Our living area contains ultra-comfortable couches and chairs that will instill in you a sense of peace and serenity that might encourage you to spend a family night in, watching movies and sharing a bowl of popcorn.

With an island, plenty of space, and all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you could wish for, the kitchen at Riverview is so well-appointed that you might be tempted to cook a big meal for the family. If you are wanting to eat out St. Augustine is the place to be for foodies! Ask us for our favorite recommendations.

Vaulted ceilings in the family room gives this generous room an even loftier feel while relaxing after a lovely day at the beach! The slider opens to an extended Florida room, perfect for entertaining or just enjoying beach life! Outside the home is surrounded by a canopy of mature oaks and a peaceful backyard.

The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. There are always concerts at St. Augustine Amphitheatre and events at Francis Field as well. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house.

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

Better than expected
My daughters and I stayed for a long weekend. I thought the home was even nicer than portrayed on the VRBO app. The neighborhood was lovely. It was large, comfortable and well equipped. Was one of the nicest VRBOs we have stayed in.

Great Stay
The host was incredibly nice and communicated well, which was great since we arrived fairly late. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed just lounging poolside and relaxing. I was also appreciative that the air conditioning was set cool enough since it was incredibly hot outside. Overall, we had a great time and will look at one of their properties again when we come back 🙂

Location and size of the house was perfect , the only issue we had was the jacuzzi and pool lights didn’t work for our stay. The main reason we chose this property was for the pool and jacuzzi. Other than that is was very nice and clean.

We loved this house! It is the perfect place to stay when visiting st Augustine. We enjoyed exploring the town and having this gem to come back to relax at. We spent a lot of time at the pool. One day when we were enjoying the pool the ice cream truck came down the road and my kid loved it! We hope to stay at this location in the future. ☺️

Beach Getaway
Stayed for multiple occasions within 1 week: 4th of July, family members wedding, and dad's birthday. Busy week and this house was perfect! Beautiful home, spacious, all the items you could need in a kitchen. We used the pool and spa daily, loved it being private and not at a hotel sharing with multiple other people. Right by the river, went and watched the sunset multiple nights. Safe neighborhood. Loved our stay.

Your own private oasis!
If you’re looking for your own private oasis this is the place! Our family of 3 stayed here. The house is in a private location, very quiet & it’s beautiful. The partially fenced in back yard was perfect for our old dog. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the beach or a quick less than 2 minute drive. If you have a 4x4 you can drive on the beach. If not there is a local park down the road that is across the street from the beach access & you could likely park there, as we saw people doing this during our stay. The pool was very clean and the host provided a detailed video on how to heat the spa. We have stayed at many rentals and this by far was one of our favorite places. The kitchen is well stocked. We only slept in the master bedroom. So I can’t speak for the other beds but the master bed was comfortable. We even saw some wildlife during our stay! Armadillos, a turtle, and a deer. We are from NC and do not have armadillos. So that was neat for our 7 yr old daughter to see. We plan on returning in the future. We created so many wonderful memories here and look forward to our next stay.

Very Nice
We enjoyed the property and recommend it to those wanting a nice break from the hustle and bustle world. Nestled in a charming street of well kept homes just off the intercoastal, the area is quiet and safe. Neighbors are nice with lots of dog walkers. A 5 minute walk takes you to the intercoastal view, which is charming and relaxing. From the home, you are convenient to everything. 9.8 miles to St Augustine, the fort, food, fun, etc. We also headed south one day to see more laid back beaches and towns. The only regret was we didn’t know we had to arrange and pay for the pool heating in advance. Next time, we’ll be sure to heat the pool.

We stayed just a few days to get away and relax. This home was perfect, offering a pool and hot tub to relax around the house. We were just a short walk from the beach and 10 minutes from Historic St Augustine.
