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…

Great place to relax
We had an amazing stay at this house! The location was perfect—close to everything, making it easy to explore the area. The home was spotless and beautifully decorated with a charming nautical vibe that made it feel cozy and inviting. The pool was a fantastic bonus, providing a great place to relax and unwind. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, convenient, and stylish getaway!

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.

Perfect Location
Very nice house with a lot of room for a big family. Awesome location close to downtown and the beach. Pool is very small however it works good for small children. Only negative was the yard was not mowed. Called first day and told them grass was high and no one ever called me back. Overall…great home and location.

Beautiful Home
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.

Mini vacation for the Alligator Farm
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.

Close to everything
This was our first visit to St Augustine so I knew nothing about the area. This property is close to everything. There’s an amazing taco place-Mojos Tacos within walking distance. It’s only 3 minutes from the alligator farm. We didn’t make it to the lighthouse but it’s so close you can see it from the house. As a woman traveling with teens, I felt safe in the neighborhood. The pool was surprisingly cool. I thought because it was smaller it would’ve been boiling hot but it was cool and refreshing. The historic area is only a 6 minute drive. Perfect location. House well maintained. Would def visit again.

Summer 2023 family getaway
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!

Great location
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.

Quick getaway
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.

Beautiful house and nice neighborhood
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!
