Great location and easy access to the beach

Nice condo and well stocked. The bathroom faucets have some hard water build up that needs some attention. Location couldn’t have been better - easy access to the beach and close to restaurants.

Great location/pool/beach

I love the location, kitchen, couch, pool, hot tub, beautiful beach, the complex in general, and the cleanliness of the condo. Communication from the owners was excellent. Smaller bedroom in the front is fine for children but less comfortable for adults. Would stay there again.

Life Was Great at Life Is Good

Everything about our stay was exceptional. Convenient location. Short walk to the beach. Wonderful pool. Ms. Sally at the gate was always happy. We had sightseeing, beach time and pool time. We enjoyed dinners at Mango Mangoes, Columbia and Beachcombers. My husband wants to know where to purchase the super soft blanket. This condo is well taken care of. We would recommend it 10/10.

Life is Good Beach Condo review

The property's proximity to the beach with private access made it incredibly convenient. However, upon arrival, despite the property being advertised as non-smoking, we noticed a lingering cigarette/smoke smell, particularly noticeable in the master bedroom and bathroom. After reporting this to the property manager, she was understanding but unsure of the cause. Thankfully, antihistamines provided some relief. Additionally, the beds were squeaky, disrupting sleep whenever my spouse moved. Despite these challenges, we managed. There were also issues with the lockbox during checkout, necessitating a trip to the front office to return the keys. Throughout our stay, the property manager/owner remained courteous and helpful.

Great location!

We had a great time at the pool, beach, and pickle ball courts. We also walked to restaurants. The location is perfect. Mini golf, coffee shop, and ice cream parlor are also within walking distance. It was a lovely mother-daughter get away and we would stay here again.

Enjoyed our break in this beautiful condo

We loved the condo. It was perfect for our little family of 4. Location was perfect and you could walk to the nature trail which is next door. The unit was clean and the beds were comfortable. The owners were very communicative. We spent all our days at the beach and also played pickle ball. We used the grill one night. Pools were alittle to chilly for us. Loved this condo community. The best location we stayed so far. Recommend Salt Water Cowboys and the Columbia restaurant.

We had a great stay at the Life is Good condo. The condo itself is very nice, very clean and provided all the items you need for a stay. Our first time to the area and the location was great, on the beach, short drive to downtown St Augustine and other attractions. The hosts were easy to communicate with and would highly recommend this property.

Wonderful condo, great location

We came in town for the Sing Out Loud Festival. I wanted somewhere on the beach instead of in town. This was perfect. It wasn't too far from downtown. We even walked to Beachcomber, then played putt putt down the street. Loved the private beach access. I will definitely book here again. Super clean and comfy. We had a great time. It was really nice to be able to come back from town and take a late walk on the beach.

Awesome Stay!

Christina was so responsive and accommodating after our other reservation was cancelled just two hours before we arrived. Christina allowed us to check in that same day with almost no notice but the condo was immaculate! This place is very modern and everything was comfortable. The building has its own hot tub in the courtyard and one of the pools is around 100 feet away. The walk to the beach was also easy and close. And Publix is just down the street, close enough to bike to while mini golf is less than a half mile away. We definitely recommend it for any family looking to have a great time in St Augustine!

The hosts also communicated regularly to make sure we were enjoying our stay and if we needed anything. The unit was exactly as pictured and well worth it!

Nice condo

This was our first time to St. Augustine Beach. The condo was very clean and nicely decorated. The walk to the beach was short & easy. I will say that the twin beds are very low to the floor so perfect for young children but not so much for someone older. Overall it was a good experience.

Hi there! We’re Christina and Steven, originally from New York, but now proud locals of sunny Florida! We absolutely love living here and enjoy all the beauty this area has to offer—from the stunning beaches to the historic charm of St. Augustine. In our free time, we love spending time on the St. Augustine beaches with our three kids, exploring new spots to eat, and discovering hidden gems around the city.

As hosts, we’re passionate about sharing this incredible place with our guests. We’re here to make sure you have everything you need for a memorable stay, whether that’s offering tips on local attractions or ensuring you have a relaxing space to unwind. We truly enjoy helping others experience the warmth and beauty of Florida as we do!

Why they chose this property

St. Augustine Beach is the perfect blend of laid-back beach charm and vibrant coastal living. Located just off A1A Beach Blvd, the area offers a peaceful retreat while still being close to all the excitement St. Augustine has to offer. With its wide, sandy shores and warm, inviting waters, it’s an ideal place for swimming, sunbathing, and beachcombing. The beach feels like your own little paradise, whether you're enjoying a family day out or catching the stunning sunsets.

The town itself has a relaxed, friendly vibe, with plenty of local restaurants, cafes, and shops lining the streets. You’ll find casual dining with fresh seafood, cozy bars with live music, and ice cream parlors perfect for after-beach treats. Despite its small-town charm, St. Augustine Beach has everything you need to make your vacation special including only a short 10-minute drive to Downtown Historic St. Augustine. Whether you’re looking to unwind on the sand, explore local attractions, or grab a bite to eat, the area offers a perfect mix of relaxation and fun. It’s a place we love to call home, and we’re thrilled to share its beauty with our guests!

What makes this property unique

What makes Life is Good Beach Condo stand out from the rest is its perfect combination of location, comfort, and amenities. Located just steps from St. Augustine Beach, with private access, you’ll be able to enjoy the sun and surf without the hassle of a long walk or crowded parking lots. The condo itself was completely renovated in October 2022, blending modern style with cozy beach vibes, creating a relaxing space for families, friends, or wedding groups.

We also love that the condo offers spacious bedrooms. Plus, with our fully equipped kitchen, high-speed WiFi, and Smart TVs in every room, you'll feel right at home whether you’re here for a short getaway or an extended stay.

The bonus of having access to all the amazing amenities at the St. Augustine Ocean & Racquet Club—like two pools, a jacuzzi, racquet courts, and even shuffleboard—sets it apart from most other properties in the area. Whether you’re relaxing on the balcony with a pond view or enjoying an outdoor BBQ, we’ve designed the condo to make every moment of your stay special.
