About this apartment rental

Location, location, location. The condo has something for everyone in your group. It's located directly across from the beautiful views of the pier. Walk left to enjoy the secluded sands of Anastasia State Park. Turn right to join the party along the ocean. Several restaurants and bars within walking distance will cater to everyone in your group. And when you're ready for some sightseeing, the condo's location on the northern tip of the beach offers a quick trip to historic downtown.

The space

The vinyl floors are perfect for those sandy feet after a day at the beach.

The master suite features a king-size bed with a dresser and flat screen TV. Past the walk-in closet is the private bath that has two sinks, a walk-in shower, and an oversized soaking tub.

The first guest room has a queen-size bed and a closet the full length of one wall. The second is designed for the kids with 4 twin bunk beds, leaving so much room for activities! Those bedrooms share a full bath with a shower/tub.

The full sized kitchen with beautiful recycled glass counters provide plenty of space for prep and cabinets and pantry space for storage. It is fully equipped with dinnerware, cookware, utensils, and appliances including:

- Microwave
- CrockPot
- Toaster
- Blender
- Coffeemaker and K-Cup
- Electric mixer
- Dinnerware/Utensils/Glassware service for 8
- Several pots/pans/baking dishes
- Misc. knives and cooking utensils

The laundry room has a full-size washer and dryer as well as an ironing board and iron. It also stores the vacuum and mop, but you can let the cleaning staff worry about that at the end of your vacation.

The dining room has seating for 8 as well as 2 more at the breakfast bar while the living room boasts a sofa and side chairs for when you want to relax. High-speed wifi is available throughout the condo, including on the screened-in back porch.

The property gives guests access to a large heated swimming pool and fitness center in the clubhouse, just across the pond from the condo's back door.

Other things to note

I often get asked why it's called the Sandy Anchor. There is a picture inside the condo that tells the story, but I figured I should share it here as well.

My father was born in the Netherlands, just a few miles inland from Europe’s largest port of Rotterdam. The Dutch are known around the world as a seafaring people, but not my father. In fact, the ship bringing his family to America when he was just five collided with another and had to return to port.

My family has lived in St. Augustine for almost 40 years. A few years ago, we rented a pontoon boat for a day on the Intercostal Waterway. As we stopped for lunch, my father tossed the anchor towards the marsh. As it sank out of sight, my brother calmly asked, “Shouldn’t that be tied to the boat?” And thus the legend of the Sandy Anchor began.

Enjoy your stay!

Note that local zoning rules dictate rentals must be 7 nights minimum. I'm willing to work with you if it's a couple of days shorter by simply blocking off the other nights, so please inquire with any questions.

One reserved parking spot is provided with the condo along with 2 guest passes (required) for any parking in the visitor spots. Loss of parking pass will incur a $25 per pass fee for replacement.

When using the communal heated pool guests are required to bring the provided pool passes. Loss of pool pass will incur a $25 per pass fee for replacement.

Please do not bring any grills, including electric, during your stay. The community prohibits them. Pets are also prohibited. If a pet is found during you stay or upon checkout, a $500 fee per pet will incur along with immediate termination of your stay without a refund.

Plenty of room, loved the dining table. The washer and dryer were amazing- even enjoyed the laundry room. These are not complaints by no means because the place really was perfect for us. l think you should know that one couch was very uncomfortable . The kitchen trashcan was way too small. Also, the back porch was too crowded. It’s nice to offer what was there but we had three kids so we weren’t sure what to bring. The kids toys that were there were brittle and needed to be thrown away. Everything was sandy also. These are the only things that come to mind and in the grand scheme of the trip they are very minor. We were there two weeks and the location was fantastic. We are very interested in going back next year, if you could give us a price for July 5-20 2025 that would be greatly appreciated.

Great location and accommodation was as advertised. I really appreciated the owners quick attention when we had an unexpected problem with the fridge. He and the manager provided quick temporary solution until repaired. I would definitely stay again. Mark

This condo was perfect for our first St Augustine getaway. It is clean and well-appointed. There are several restaurants within walking distance. The beach is across a road that can be busy at times. The owners of the condo thoughtfully provide a beach wagon and accessories to make the trek to the beach easier. I love that the unit is ground floor. The overall place is very quiet. Perfect for families.

Very comfortable and close to pool. I found the condo to be clean and ready for checkin. St Augustine is a lovely place to vacation and have family reunions there was only four of us and had plenty of space. I would book this unit again.

We have stayed at this complex for many years, in different units. The location to the beach and restaurants is great. The complex is gated & very nicely maintained. We had a little mix up at check in, however once we contacted the owner the situation was resolved. They surprised us the next morning with a card & small token of apology. We love it there!
