850 A1A BEACH Boulevard, Saint Augustine, FL 32080

Short-term rentals are allowed at Ocean Villas -- and at this price point, the numbers work. This 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo sits inside one of St. Augustine Beach's most established gated communities, steps from a private beach access point and two resort-style pools.

Unit 89 delivers pool views from both the living room and primary bedroom -- that's the view guests pay a premium for on Airbnb and VRBO. The layout works as well for families as it does for groups of friends: three bedrooms, updated kitchen appliances, and a floor plan built for easy beach living.

Ocean Villas is known for its tropical landscaping, two pools (including a new zero-entry oceanfront pool), tennis courts, and the kind of outdoor atmosphere guests describe as a resort without the resort price tag. For the buyer running numbers: comparable pool-view 3BR units in this community rent for $280-$375/night during peak season (June-August) through platforms like Airbnb and VRBO.

That's a number worth sitting with. Five miles to historic downtown St. Augustine. Walking distance to restaurants, live music, and the farmers market on A1A. Beach living without compromise.
