About Helen

My husband and I bought this second home while living in Atlanta, about 6 hours drive from the condo. I am from the Philadelphia area and my husband is from Connecticut. We have lived in many locations, including Boston, Philadelphia, Charleston (SC), Alabama and California. We have travelled extensively, together and separately, around all the continents except Australia and Antartica. When we decided to 'retire,' we chose St. Augustine, FL!

Helen purchased this condo in 1986
Why Helen chose Anastasia Island

My husband and I purchased this condo 'pre-construction' in 1986. We were on vacation, and fell in love with the beach and the town of St. Augustine. The area was settled, by the Spanish, before the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock (MA), in 1565! The slogan on the billboard said: '26 miles of beach, and the rest is history!' We learned that the area has elements to please any vacationer, and is pleasant during the whole year. In the Winter, there's whale watching and golf. In the Spring, there's the sea turtle nesting and the bird migrations. In the Summer, there's surfing and related beach activities. In the Fall, there's visiting the many historical sites and nature preserves. It's only minutes to the Orlando 'World' locations, Cape Kennedy Space Museum, the World Golf Village and Daytona Beach (with NASCAR races). Its only drawback is the lack of snow and those cold and snow activities! (Condo was completely remodeled and updated in 2007.)

What makes this condo unique

We enjoy the peaceful beachfront location. The patio has an unobstructed view of the dune and ocean beyond, without the distraction of the cars and people on the beach; it is a quiet place to read. Being on the ground floor has several advantages: there are no 'hassles' with stairs or elevators; there are two entrances/exits from the condo, and there is no guard rail (which is an element on upstairs units) to disrupt the view; the ground floor units are the only ones permitted to have a gas grill, and we have a Weber Q grill to cook outside. We have dedicated, private, and secure wireless Internet (WiFi).

Crossing the dunes over the walkway leads to a wide, sandy beach suitable for running, walking, body surfing, boogie boarding, and building sand castles. Early in the morning you can observe the wildlife in the dunes from the patio. Rabbits and ducks are plentiful and entertaining. Look for the Florida land tortoise, an endangered species. (A fox family has arrived in the dunes in 2011.) Nearby, you can engage in Golf and Tour the World Golf Village. Historic St, Augustine is always of interest. There are two major outlet Malls nearby and shopping within the Old City, likely to attract someone in your party. Alligators and Florida are inseparable and the Alligator Farm has been a center for study and protection of Alligators for over a hundred years. Marineland, recently renovated, provides similar education and entertainment with dolphins. For the fishing enthusiast, surf, pier, and deep sea fishing adventures are possible. Fishing at Matanzas Inlet is superb.

What a wonderful week we had! The condo was perfect for our family. There were the perfect toys for my grand-daughter and the perfect "toys" for our teenagers in the group. Helen has the perfect set up for family gatherings. There is not one thing I can suggest to make the experience any better.

Thank you, Helen

We had an amazing Mother's Day weekend! The condo was everything we wanted and more. We absolutely loved having the beach in "our backyard." Our family enjoyed every bit of our mini vacation.

We hope to be back soon!

We had a wonderful time staying here for a week. I can't say enough about the beautiful view from inside the condo. We were here for Flagler [College] graduation and I am so happy that everything worked out so well. We hate to leave today. Thank you for sharing this beautiful spot with us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the St. Augustine area, and your condo contributed greatly to that enjoyment! The history and the area was fascinating and enjoyable, and the condo was so assessible to everything we wanted to do and see. Having the ocean in our backyard was certainly a plus. You have successfully anticipated the needs of your guests and we are leaving with many, many fond memories.

Thank you for sharing
