Step into History and Comfort: The Grand Oak - Your Unique St Augustine Downtown Retreat

Discover the enchanting allure of St. Augustine's rich history while indulging in modern comforts at The Grand Oak, a captivating 3-story Queen Anne vacation rental located at 28 Saragossa St just a quarter mile stroll to St George St, the heart of the Historic District. Originally built in 1891 by the Birds Eye View Artist Henry J Ritchie with 50 windows and 25 rooms, this architectural gem has undergone many transformations over the years and a meticulous 1.5-year renovation, resulting in a delightful fusion of old-world charm and contemporary luxury. If you seek an exceptional experience beyond the conventional hotel space, the Grand Oak offers the perfect blend of uniqueness and the conveniences of home. Plus quick access to 2 beaches and additional rentals close by for friends and family. Be sure and check out the links below.

The Grand Oak, aptly named after the majestic oak tree gracing the front, beckons you with its warm ambiance. Originally part of the outdoor porch, the bedroom and bath have been lovingly transformed to offer you a cozy retreat. The Greatroom, formerly the dining room, now provides a spacious and inviting living area that opens to the eat-in Kitchen and vintage paneled office providing workspace for the new “Work from Home” lifestyle. There is even a popup desk in the Bedroom so each can have their own private space. Unlike standard cookie-cutter remodels, our vacation rental is a masterpiece of handmade touches and thoughtful design. From the Shiplap headboard to the Sewing Machine table & desk, to the innovative bicycle TV console, every corner tells a story of creativity and distinction.

The kitchen boasts marble countertops and shaker cabinets with glass doors, adding a touch of elegance while preserving the period's authenticity. The marble bath with an arched alcove tub and surface-mount shower takes you back in time, allowing you to indulge in the luxuries of a bygone era.

We understand the need for modern amenities, and that's why we've equipped The Grand Oak with brand new AC, plumbing, electric, hot water, and appliances. Stay connected and entertained with Smart TVs in both the Greatroom and Bedroom and enjoy seamless Wifi throughout the house.

But it's not just the interiors that make The Grand Oak a unique choice. Our location is a true gem, allowing you to experience the Best of Both Worlds. Downtown everyone walks and you are within a mere quarter-mile stroll to the heart of Historic Downtown where you'll be amidst the vibrant tourist attractions and an array of delightful dining options.

If you crave the coastal breeze and sandy shores, fret not! We are conveniently located just a few miles away from two distinct Beach communities - Vilano Beach just 3 miles to the north and St. Augustine Beach 5 miles to the south. Both with ample parking and amazing restaurants (I'll provide you with a curated list). To make your beach outings even more enjoyable, we provide beach chairs, towels, and boogie boards, ensuring you have everything you need for a fun-filled day by the sea.

Forget about the limitations of a traditional hotel space. Come share my home. While we reside in two of the apartments, we warmly invite you to immerse yourself in the history and comfort of The Grand Oak or any of our other meticulously renovated historic homes, showcased in the link below. Your experience in St. Augustine should be nothing short of extraordinary, and we're here to make sure of it.

    Very well located, we didn’t need a car to get around the city. The house is very comfortable, well-maintained, and well-equipped. I highly recommend it, and we will definitely return.

    The location was perfect! Walking distance to shopping, restaurants, and other local attractions. Wonderful to have off street parking. The full kitchen made quick snacks or any meal prep a breeze. Both bed and bath were clean and comfortable. My only suggestion would be to add large throw pillows to the very deep couch to make it a more comfortable place to relax at the end of a busy day. Overall, we found this to be our new favorite “home away from home “ stay in St. Augustine. We plan to return.

    The apartment was just as pictured. It was a perfect space for me and my husband to have a relaxing St. Augustine weekend. I was sent an e-mail with all the info needed for the check-in process (parking, access code, etc.). It was pleasantly quiet and only about 3 blocks from St. George St. The house was pretty well stocked with essentials (not guaranteed) and it was decorated so cute to me. The only downside this that parking is very tight. Would not recommend a full size pickup for the allotted parking area. Beautiful place, beautiful stay. We will be returning.

    The location was absolutely perfect and we were able to walk all around St. Augustine without any difficulties. The property itself was very clean and in a safe part of the neighborhood. It was a good size for a family of three. It had everything we absolutely needed for our 4-day stay.

    Easy parking even for a Navigator. Spotlessly clean. Everything you’d need to cook if you wanted to but 4 easy walking blocks to the main area for access to all the activities. Easy to use modern washer dryer. Having stayed in several properties throughout the US, this is in the top 3 for sure. Would definitely stay here again if in the area.
