Review: This house was just what we were looking for. A quiet neighborhood. It was in walking distance to the beach and many great restaurants. The rear of the home was fenced in for privacy and had a really nice deck furnished with a grill, table, and lounge chairs. The house inside was furnished with everything we needed for a great vacation. The owners Brenda and Steve couldn't have been nicer. This was our second year staying and we plan to go back in the future. You will love it.

Inside Scoop
Founded in 1565. St. Augustine is the oldest continuously occupied settlement of European and African-American origin in the United States. Forty-two years before the English colonized Jamestown and fifty-five years before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock the Spanish established at St. Augustine this nation's first enduring settlement.
St Augustine can boast that it contains the only urban nucleus in the United States whose street pattern and architectural ambiance reflect Spanish origins.
It is also important to realize that 20 years after the civil war(1885) Henry Flagler decided to create a winter retreat for wealthy Americans. In 1887 his company began construction of two large hotels and then a year later a third hotel. His architects changed the appearance of St. Augustine and those building styles in time came to characterize the look of cities throughout Florida.
Touring the oldest city in Florida can be done on the Red Train which winds it's way throughout St. Augustine and you can listen to the history. Visiting the local museums you can see through paintings how St. Augustine appeared during the 1900's.

About the host: Steve & Brenda Schell. We have been in St. Augustine now for 16 years. Steve is retired Army National Guard. Our love for St. Augustine began while working here before retirement. We began sharing our love for St Augustine Beach by inviting family to town. This vacation home will enable us to share St Augustine Beach with you! Currently we have 2 homes but it seems like St Augustine is the main residence. Our other home is in Central Florida where we grew up and our families are still located.
Residents in St. Augustine are fun and enjoyable. The atmosphere is friendly.
Time will slow down. You will not want to leave!
Why this property? The Sea Turtle, both Unit A and Unit B are available to rent throughout the year. We have provided everything you will need to enjoy a month of fun. A large deck in the back yard has even been added for relaxation and evening visits. Local artwork is being added. The futon couch/bed is for you to invite guests during your stay. The newly landscaped yard with fence, sod and gravel will allow you freedom with your pet out back. The walk to the beach is short. Return home for lunch or visit local restaurants without the need to drive.
Sitting and walking on the beach in the morning or evening and spending the day with our grand kids in the sand are our favorite things to do. The walks downtown are also enjoyable. Every time we go downtown we find a new street to enjoy or a new restaurant that we have not tried. We love our time in St Augustine and so will you!
In addition to the Beach, the Historic District is close and you can participate in seasonal events.
January...Nights of Lights
March...St Patrick Day parade
April...Seafood Festival
July...Fireworks over The Matanzas

Charles M.Great place by the beach
We had a great stay at the Sea Turtle, the owners are a delightful couple who were attentive and available for us without being intrusive. The duplex was everything advertised including a nice secure fenced in yard for our dogs, and only a 5 minute walk to the beach. There’s a lot to check out by the beach, but the full amenities in the duplex also allowed my wife and I, and our dogs, to be perfectly comfortable staying home and cooking a meal. We would recommend this duplex to anyone looking for somewhere to stay on St Augustine Beach!

Mary L & David B.A Wonderful Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Condo was perfect for us. So clean and comfortable! Kitchen so well stocked with everything you would need & with updated appliances. So many extras throughout! We spent our days on a large deck with umbrella and comfortable chairs. Owners were very helpful with everything we needed. Perfect walk to the beach. Beautiful sunrises and so many nearby restaurants. We just loved it and we will be returning next year!!

Mary and David We so enjoyed visiting with you. The Sea Turtle was prepared for guests just like you. We wanted others to enjoy all that St. Augustine has to offer and supplied the home so that you can just enjoy your time. Some guests have called it an adventure. We look forward to seeing you next year and hope you have a great summer. Brenda and Steve
Anne B.Great monthly rental
This was an excellent place for us to stay while our new home was being finished. The place was well maintained by the owners and the kitchen was fully stocked with equipment. The beach and restaurants were only a couple blocks away. Would definitely rent again if we wanted a long stay.

Owner response
Anne: It was our privilege to get to know you! We are excited about your new home and life. We certainly want to stay in touch and hope you come back when visiting St. Augustine. Our vacation rental was prepared to be a home away from home for those visiting St. Augustine. It has also been a home away from home for several people while building. We are glad our home met your needs!
