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.

Perfect little apartment for our long weekend in St. Augustine. Short walk to old town and it was great to have a parking spot for our vehicle. Bed was super comfortable, pull out couch worked great for the kids.
Extremely clean, comfy king bed and bedding, attractive decor and well maintained or new furnishing,
The owner was very friendly, helpful and quick to respond to our questions. We have stayed in many vrbo and this was one of the best! Highly recommend and would stay there again!
Perfect location to explore St Augustine and the region. Everything you need for an enjoyable stay. Would highly recommend.

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.
Stayed for a getaway with my spouce. The unit made us feel at home and we had a great time. Very comfortable and quiet. Super close to historical downtown so it was a really enjoyable experience.
Everything about the property is excellent. Very clean which is most important. But very comfortable and well maintained. Has everything you need for a nice stay. Property is very conveniently located to all local attractions, shopping, dining, etc. We will be back.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Grand Oak. The property has been beautifully renovated, and we had everything we needed for our two night stay. The location cannot be beat! You are in a quiet neighborhood, but only minutes away from many of St Augustine's hot spots. We walked everywhere we went and never needed the car.
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.
We had a great stay in this apartment. It is very clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed for a weeklong visit. It is walking distance to the historic downtown and bay front, we put in lots of miles on foot. Definitely would stay here again. Owners are on-site and respond quickly to inquiries. Thank you for the use of your property!!
This apartment was in a great location within historic Saint Augustine…we walked almost everywhere!!! The street was quiet and our rental had everything we needed. Highly recommend!!!
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.
