About this property

Welcome to St Augustine Beach & Tennis Resort

St Augustine Beach & Tennis Resort stands as a welcoming retreat on Florida’s picturesque Atlantic coast. Nestled at 3960 A1A South, this resort offers guests a quiet, family-friendly atmosphere that invites relaxation and rejuvenation. With a solid 3.9-star rating, it strikes a balance between comfort and value while providing easy access to the stunning shoreline just a short stroll from the property’s gated entrance.

The resort’s charm is amplified by its lush surroundings, including majestic old oak trees that lend a timeless grace to the landscape. Visitors appreciate the peaceful, uncrowded ambiance, a welcome departure from the hustle of busier beach destinations. As Katherine Harwood notes, the accommodations feel like a true home away from home, complete with well-equipped kitchens, updated bathrooms, and screened-in porches perfect for savoring the Florida breeze.

A highlight for families and leisure seekers alike is the beautiful pool area, which guests like Michelle Conant have praised for its inviting and relaxing vibe. The resort offers a kid-friendly environment alongside essential amenities such as free Wi-Fi, free parking, and accessibility features, ensuring a comfortable stay for all visitors. Golf enthusiasts will also find nearby options, allowing for a well-rounded vacation experience.

Though some guests, including Matt Klein, point out areas for improvement—particularly the air conditioning system’s difficulty in cooling upstairs spaces—these challenges don’t overshadow the overall appeal. The resort maintains clean, safe, and serviceable accommodations within a secure, gated community, as Bruce Rouslin attests. The updated kitchens further complement the comforts provided.

Surrounded by the natural beauty of St. Augustine’s beaches and close to attractions like the St. Johns County Ocean Pier and local seafood spots, the resort offers not just a place to stay but a gateway to coastal exploration and laid-back enjoyment. Its smoke-free environment and peaceful locale add to the sense of well-being.

In essence, St Augustine Beach & Tennis Resort is a quiet haven for travelers seeking to pause and appreciate the serene rhythm of island life, pairing functional, clean lodging with the kind of restorative atmosphere that invites guests to unwind and make lasting memories beside the sea.

I have two timeshares here and I absolutely love it! Need to get back down and unwind! Nice and secluded, not traffic busy and gorgeous old oaks all over the property! A beautiful clean pool area and a short walk out the back gate to the boardwalk to the beach! The accommodations are wonderful. It is like home away from home. Nice kitchens, baths, living areas, beautiful screened in porches. It is very picturesque. Serene and tranquil. A great property for a moonlight stroll.

Only poorly planned issue is the AC struggles to keep the upstairs cool. It should be zoned with dampers and ideally would be best served by two separate systems verses just the one!

Swapped into it. Dated but serviceable. We found it comfortable and clean. Felt safe in the gated community. I understand how some would not like it. We felt it was a good value consistent with our costs for staying. Kitchen has been updated. Hope to return in the future.
