About Pineapple Cove: A historic St. Augustine Vacation Home
Exquisitely and painstakingly renovated to preserve the historic home’s history, the owners have kept the vintage feel of the property, while adding pops of color along with whimsical touches throughout the St. Augustine historic home, creating a delightful St. Augustine vacation rental in the heart of downtown.
An Ideal St. Augustine Vacation Home For Larger Groups Or Families
The two-unit St. Augustine historic home sleeps four per unit, so if you are traveling with a large family, you can rent the entire home. Even during the busy seasons, Pineapple Cove will feel like your own private retreat. One of the features of Pineapple Cove that we loved is the outdoor shower. Pineapple Cove is with 15 minutes of either Vilano Beach or St. Augustine Beach. So after a day playing in the sand and surf, you can rinse off at the outdoor shower and not track sand and dirt into the home.

The Seasons of St. Augustine
St. Augustine is located in near the far northeastern corner of Florida, along the Atlantic Ocean. Because of its location, December, January, and February can be chilly, with highs in the 50s and 60s, and reaching into the 70s on sunny days.
Spring and fall are our favorite times of the year in St. Augustine, with temperatures in the 60s to 80s.
The summer is hot and humid, but in the historic downtown, you can feel a bit of the sea breezes.
What To Do In St. Augustine
From special events to music, golf, food tours, dining, fishing, beachcombing, boating, and shopping in the downtown historic district, there is no shortage of things to do on your St. Augustine vacation. Take a food tour of historic downtown St. Augustine or St. Augustine Beach, or take a sailing tour of St. Augustine for a different perspective.
