Welcome to Tropic Way, the ideal family house, located just minutes from the beach. This beautiful, spacious house is newly decorated in a beach-chic style. It is perfect for beach time, boating, kayaking, or fishing, all just minutes away. While you are not directly beachside, it's a short walk to the beach and only a short drive to historic St. Augustine as well as other attractions and restaurants. Tropic Way has space for everyone, even two whole groups. The entire house has been newly redecorated with professional interior design for your enjoyment. Also, the cottage is equipped with WiFi. So bring your electronic devices and stay in touch with family and friends.

The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and all pots and pans, dinnerware, glasses and utensils, and appliances for preparing a large meal or just sitting and enjoying a morning cup of coffee. The home has everything you need. There is a four-person dining table in the kitchen and a separate dining area with a six-person dining table. Kick your feet up and relax in the inviting living area, which has been equipped with comfortable sofas and a smart TV.

The main suite is equipped with an extremely comfortable new bed and an en suite bath with a standalone shower. The other two bedrooms share a full bathroom with a tub/shower. Additional amenities include a full-size washer/dryer, ideal for wet beach towels.

This darling retreat is located on A1A and is centered between the Intercoastal Waterway and St. Augustine Beach. The beach is known for its miles of white sand and the Inter Coastal for its fishing and boating. There is parking available on the property for your boat. Devil's Elbow is a perfect place to launch and is a short drive away. You will not be indoors long with all St. Augustine has to offer, from Alligator Farm, Nightly Ghost Tours, the Fort, and even a sunset tour on a real pirate ship, all less than eight miles away.

Quick Weekend Trip
We stayed in this house for a quick weekend trip. We loved that the house was so clean and well kept. We did not love that the beds were all pretty firm. Firm beds are definitely not always a bad thing, but they are a deal breaker for us. I’m always thankful when a review mentions that so I can choose a different option. So adding it here as an FYI. We did have an issue with WiFi. The WiFi information given in the email is incorrect. We tried the live chat option for help and they wanted to possibly send someone out the next day to check, but it was late and we wanted to try again the next day. We belatedly realized there is a sign in the house in front of the tv with the correct WiFi name and password (and it can be found on the router). And once we had the correct information, the WiFi worked great. We would have also liked more information about how to access the closest beach and check out instructions. Most every VRBO we have ever used had tasks we had to complete before leaving, but I am assuming this house does not. We never received instructions, just a text to allow us to officially check out. All of these details are to help future visitors. The house was super cute, extremely clean, affordable, and perfect for what we needed.

Great vacation home
This property was perfect for our family vacation. We had 4 adults one teenager and a large do who loved the backyard! Lisa from Vacasa texted us upon arrival and when we had difficulty logging on to the wifi she was on it immediately! She was able to resolve our issue. This was a nice clean well kept home tucked back in a quiet neighborhood! We visit every yr and we will be returning to this property!!

We stayed here for our daughter's graduation from Flagler College and had a wonderful time! The house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood, and in good driving distance to restaurants and grocery stores. The house is spacious and clean. We especially loved the patio out back!

Our stay
Its a new remodel it was nice and spacious when we arrived they had no curtains but they came out and fixed it upon request and we were expecting a completely fenced in backyard and it was not fenced in and it was a little aggravating to have to walk the dogs all day. But other then that it was a pleasant stay with about 5-8 minute drive to the beach.

Beautiful home, close to the beach and historic downtown St Augustine. However, there were no curtains on the windows in the living room, dining room, front door or kitchen windows.

My family and I were looking for a place by St Augustine and this was the perfect location. It was a few minutes away from Crescent and Augustine beach. Everything was amazing, my family and I really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much!
