Lion’s Sail: Island Oasis w/ Pool near Downtown & Beach

🌅 Welcome to Lion’s Sail — Your Peaceful Island Getaway between the Beaches and Historic Downtown St. Augustine

Nestled in the coveted 🌳 Davis Shores neighborhood of St. Augustine, 🦁 Lion’s Sail invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace island time.

This picturesque community—lined with towering oak trees, friendly neighbors, and meandering sidewalks perfect for evening strolls or bike rides 🚲🐕—offers the best of both worlds.

You’re bordered by the 🌊 Atlantic Ocean on one side and the 🌅 Intracoastal Waterway on the other, with beautiful beaches 🏖️ and historic downtown 🏰 just moments away.

🏛️ Explore & Indulge:

Spend your mornings wandering centuries-old cobblestone streets, where horse-drawn carriages 🐴 still echo the charm of days gone by.
Discover local art galleries 🎨, unique boutiques 🛍️, and incredible restaurants 🍽️, each one tempting you with delicious aromas drifting into the streets.

🌿 Relax & Reconnect:

When the day winds down, leave the bustle behind and return to your private oasis at Lion’s Sail.
✨ Sip cocktails by the sparkling pool 🍹
✨ Fire up the backyard barbecue 🍔
✨ Or simply unwind beneath the oak canopy 🌳, letting the salty sea breeze 🌬️ wash your worries away.
Inside, the home is pristine yet cozy 🏡 — open, light-filled, and designed for both comfort and calm.

The fenced backyard offers total privacy for lounging, playing, or cooling off in the cocktail pool 💦.

Whether you’re here for adventure 🏄‍♀️ or relaxation 🧘‍♀️, Lion’s Sail offers a slice of island paradise 🌺 you’ll never forget.

Beautiful property and located exactly where we wanted to be! The pool was such a nice thing to have to keep the kids busy in between activities! I wish we would’ve had some way of cleaning the pool or someone to come clean it every couple of days. We used the skimmer the best we could but it really needed vacuuming. Overall a great experience and wonderful stay!

Great location

We really enjoyed the stay overallOnly thing that was a bit annoying was the sheets in the guest rooms were not clean at check in and we had to wash before we went to bed the first night after 11 hour drive. Everything else was perfect.

House was just not clean

Lovely home but very dirty. Ants all over counter near sink, nothing swept or vacuumed, Cheerios downstairs and upstairs floors and carpet. Furniture visibly dirty, couch pillows filthy, blankets in basket near couch full of holes. Sheets appeared to be clean but quilts very visibly filthy. Pool dirty when we arrived then mowed next day and when we arrived home pool covered with grass. I let them know and was told pool would clean Tues or Thurs and they came as we were leaving Thursday. Such a shame because the home itself was lovely.

A couple complaints. The couch wasn't clean and the floors had food on them. The website, sent through VRBO wasnt accessible. Thankfully, we havebvisited multiple times, so we knew what the town had to offer.

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.

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.
