Welcome to Golden Mile Beach Retreat, a renovated and professionally decorated home located in the heart of St. Augustine Beach and a short walk from the beach, numerous restaurants, bars and shops, and the St. Johns County Ocean Pier! This large family house boasts a huge gourmet kitchen, game room, and multiple decks and beautiful views. Enjoy a less than five minute walk down one of the prettiest streets of St. Augustine Beach to the boardwalk beach access. In the evenings, hang out under a gorgeous ancient oak around the fire pit or in the hot tub. Golden Mile Beach Retreat is professionally and beautifully decorated with a comfortable, modern beach vibe. Sleeping arrangements include two king bedrooms and a double bunk room upstairs, along with two pullouts (queen and full) in the upstairs den, and a queen sized pullout in the downstairs living room. You will find everything you need for your vacation including a fully stocked kitchen, clean and fresh linens, bathroom amenities, and beach supplies. Rinse off after the beach in an enclosed outdoor shower. Whether you are wanting to surf, fish, swim, enjoy family time, or take in the night life, Golden Mile Beach Retreat is the perfect location!

While in St. Augustine, don't miss out on the great history and activities the area has to offer. Ride the Old Town Trolley around the area and take in the historic beauty of Downtown St. Augustine! Explore the oldest fort in the continental United States, the Castillo San Marcos, and stroll down colorful St. George Street filled with shops and restaurants of irresistible local flare. You might even spot a Pirate or Spanish Conquistador in period attire! Breathe in the warm, salty air as you enjoy a romantic walk along the waterfront as the sun sets, casting its final rays on the sparkling water, the drifting boats, and the picturesque Bridge of Lions. But don’t forget to make good use of the night by experiencing the Ghost train or Haunted House tour. Enjoy the endless variety of restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream, art galleries and bookstores.

Reviews

Great beach stay!
5/5 stars
We really enjoyed our week here! We have come to St. Augustine for many years and this is our favorite house thus far. Great for multiple families and pets. Great backyard/shower/hoses to clean off sand after the beach. Plenty of room! Tons of outside deck space. Management was quick to respond to our needs. Could have been cleaner when we checked in, but it was okay. Great location for walking to beach, riding bikes, and visiting all of our favorite spots...Taco Shop, Stir It Up, Beachcomber, Mango Mango, and Coneheads. The refrigerator was a 10/10. Ceiling fan in the master did not work, but we didn't really need it. The A/C worked well. Overall this was a 9.5/10! We will be back!
- Patricia

Patricia, thank you for your review and stay. We are so glad you enjoyed the home, both inside and outside! We are also pleased to heat that our team was quick to respond! We would love to host you again!

Perfect Holiday Getaway
5/5 stars
We tend to spend our Christmas holidays finding a new city and exploring. In all honesty, it’s about our 12 year old pup. We picked the perfect city and stay at the Golden Mile Beach Retreat. They were very accommodating and the home was simply amazing! There was no detailed missed. This beautiful homes location allowed for walks to the beach or pier, along with quick and easy drives into explore the city of St. Augustine and their holidays lights festival along with a gourmet kitchen to make Christmas dinner. From the holiday decorations which made you feel like home, the personalized note, coupons, suggestions of places and things to do, and the quick and easy communication, this was by far our favorite stay yet. I would highly recommend and we are excited to book again!
- Amy

Space was perfect for our group
5/5 stars
Thank you for hosting us this weekend. We had a great time in St Augustine. We had plenty of space in the house for everyone, plenty of available parking, and enjoyed having so many large gathering spots. The only suggestions for improvement I had is more supplies to be able to do more in the amazing kitchen and to give notice about the balcony being off limits, I was surprised to see that blocked off since it was advertised. For the kitchen, we couldn't locate a baking sheet, and the size of the kitchen and great appliances made us want to cook! Thanks again for the comfortable stay.
- Anne

Anne, thank you for your review and feedback. We have asked our property manager to add the missing kitchen supplies and repairs for the balcony are underway. We apologize that the repairs were not completed before your arrival. We are glad that you enjoyed the home and that you had a great weekend! Exploring the local attractions is a great way to create memorable moments in St. Augustine. It was a pleasure hosting you and we would love to have you back!

Perfect amount of space & location for our girls trip from ages 17-70. Only downfall was inconsistent hot water.
- Jessica

Jessica, We are glad you had a 5-star girls trip! We are sorry you had trouble with the water. It is a brand new hot water heater, so there have been no issues. It does take some time to heat up. We hope to be able to host you in the future!

Spacious and clean
4/5 stars
The house was perfect for our group with 6 adults and 3 children The owners were very responsive and the house was very clean and spacious. The house is very convenient to the beach ,restaurants, shopping. We were glad we brought our wagons to take things back and forth from the beach as it was a block and a half walk. We thought the linens could be replaced as some had stains on them. But other than this we enjoyed our stay and would book this place again!
- Jim And Kathy Fanning

Jim, It was a pleasure to host you! We strive to make our guests feel at home here, and are glad to hear those expectations were met during your time with us! We will address the linens, and make sure everything is clean for future guests. We look forward to the opportunity to host you in the future!

Excellent Choice!
5/5 stars
We stayed in March 2023. Absolutely no issues with hot water (as was mentioned in older reviews). Clearly that's been fixed. The house was spotlessly clean. When we arrived the hot tub needed cleaning. I called & they came out the same day & cleaned & refilled it. (Even though it was a Sunday). Very professional & helpful. The layout of this house is well-designed. It's beautifully decorated & there was a good mix of dishes, soaps, towels, beach towels, pans, spices, toiletries, hair dryers, iron, etc. The back yard is beautiful & feels private. The location of the house is excellent. A quiet street, within easy walk of ice cream, restaurants, shopping, etc. Beach is 1.5 blocks away. This is the 5th house we've rented over the last several years, & I would highly recommend this place & would absolutely stay here again.
- Trisha

Trisha, it has been a pleasure to host you all! We strive for an excellent guest experience, and we are very glad to hear you found the house very clean and that our team was responsive to your needs! Thank you for staying with us, and we would love to have you back!

Family Vacation
5/5 stars
We had 5 adults and 2 littles for our 4 night stay and the house was a little too big for our group but we loved the extra space and my father in law really loved the hot tub. I'm pretty sure he's going to buy one. My 3 yr old loved the ping pong table and my 10 month old loved being able to crawl literally everywhere throughout the house. The walk to the beach was short and convenient and it's close enough to walk to restaurants. We did not have any big issues with the hot water as stated in other reviews so I think that's been addressed. Overall we had a great stay and excellent family time! Thanks!
- Ravyn

Ravyn, we are so glad you loved the space and amenities the home had to offer. The hot water issue has been addressed, and we are glad you didn't have any issues with it. We would love to have you back again!

Excellent home for friends!
5/5 stars
We are a group of 6 friends from all over who meet every couple years. This is a great home for relaxing, getting to the beach, and catching up! Great kitchen for cooking and meals - good sleeping, nice ping pong and hot tub. Had a great time! Would be even better if it was closer to JAX but loved being close to both the beach and St. Augustine. Thanks!

What a Place!
5/5 stars
We were blown away by our recent stay! We brought 8 children (most of them teens). We had the perfect amount of space, TONS of room to store all the food and a short walk to the beach! We even called the rental agency since we wanted to cook spaghetti and there wasn't a big pot. They delivered a brand new one the next day. The definitely went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect stay!

Girls Weekend 2022
3/5 stars
The house was tidy but the house wasn’t super clean. The floors were sandy and the house is lacking upkeep of the property. There was trash in the yard from the previous occupants. The oven knobs were covered in blue painters tape. We contacted them about it and the management company told us it was a mistake and we could remove the tape and use the oven. The oven gave us an error code a few times but eventually it worked. If you are planning on cooking, the kitchen isn’t well stocked with good cooking utensils or baking pans. There is a blender, toaster, coffee maker and other small appliances. The wine cooler does not work. The large fridge and freezer was a nice plus. You can’t run the microwave and coffee maker at the same time. It will trip the breaker. The biggest complaint from our group was the cold showers. The master shower would get hot… but the other showers stayed cold. I notice this complaint in previous reviews. It would be beneficial for this problem to be resolved. The snack sliding doors handle was very loose and we were afraid it was going to break, so we used the side door to go into the back yard. The top deck was really nice, but there are no chais to sit and enjoy. The garage and parking area is large and you can park 4 cars in the driveway without any problem. The location was great. I believe this home has great potential to be amazing… but it’s lacking the upkeep that’s needed due to the wear and tear of constant travelers and the salt in the air.
- Sara

Sara, thank you for staying with us and for sharing your valuable feedback. We are always open to opportunities to improve. We apologize about your concerns. The hot water has been addressed already, and we have confirmed that it works and gets hot. We will communicate with our team about these things and address them. We hope to have the opportunity to host you in the future.

Golden Mile Review
5/5 stars
It wasn’t perfect but overall we still give 5 stars. You can tell time, money and effort have been put into the place. The kitchen is amazing and makes you want to hang out in there while having drinks or snacks, the living areas are a good size that can handle a good number of people, and while it would be nice to have more bedrooms; there are plenty of options for sleeping outside of the bedrooms. This gives you the option to have large groups without paying the much higher prices if 5+ bedroom houses. The master bedroom shower held water a little bit, the water temp was spotty at times, and there were just a few things the cleaning crew missed. However, these were all very minor issues, and we rate this place a 5 start and would certainly return. If you’re looking for a very nice house that is perfect for enjoying the house when you are not at the beach, had amazing outdoor areas, and is within a 5 minute walk of the beach without being overly priced… this is the spot.

Wonderful House!
5/5 stars
Our family stayed in the Golden Mile Beach Retreat and we definitely enjoyed our time there! The house has a great layout! It’s comfortable, clean and modern and there was plenty of room. We loved the location of the house and the fact that it’s a quiet little street was a bonus. The whole process was very easy (rental, check in, check out) with great communication. We highly recommend this house and would definitely stay there again!!

Nice house, Great Location
4/5 stars
The house is very spacious and well laid out. Beautiful trees/landscaping and a quick 5 min walk to the beach! There are several pros and cons (and the cons were the reason I didn’t give 5 stars, given the price) Pros Beautiful renovation and layout Spacious kitchen and several seating areas inside/outside Hot tub Proximity to the beach and stores/restaurants Well equipped kitchen (minus the dull knives) Comfy beds Responsive to texts! Cons Cable tv not operating properly (was offered to fix but already missed the basketball game we were hoping to watch) Small TVs for the size of the rooms Tankless hot water heater glitching causing cold spells while showering (only 4 of us here can’t imagine a larger group) Cutlery is very dull - hard to slice even tomatoes No full length mirrors anywhere in house Mildew on shower curtain No blow dryer None of the cons are deal breakers but were enough to deduct 1 star. For almost $400/night it’s the little things that keep you coming back! It’s a beautiful home in a great location so I would recommend but just forewarn.

Best family vacation!!
5/5 stars
Every year we take a family vacation over Thanksgiving break but this year will definitely be a memorable one!! Golden mile beach retreat was perfect for our family. We are very particular where we stay we like things clean and neat with alot of space and things to do. This house exceeded all our expectations the backyard was beautiful sitting by the fire on the cold nights. We had a great day at the beach only a few feet away from the house. Close drive to downtown we can't wait to come visit again. Perfect trip 10/10 ❤ thanks for having us!!
