The Experience

Saltwater pool.
Hot tub at sunset.
Beach three minutes away.

After Hours Retreat was designed for the kind of trip where you actually unpack — and don't want to leave.

Step off the back deck and you're at the pool. Step through the gate and the beach is 344 feet away. The Intracoastal Waterway glitters through the windows of the third-floor living room, where a 70" smart TV and two plush sofas invite you to stay all day if you feel like it.

The game room keeps the kids busy. The kitchen — stocked with a milkshake maker, waffle iron, and dual-function Keurig — handles every meal. A mural-backed dining table seats six. The Insta-worthy kind, obviously.

Four bedrooms. Four bathrooms. The kind of space where ten people can share a house and still find quiet corners. This is St. Augustine, Florida — and After Hours Retreat is the best seat in it.

Signature Features

Every detail.
Thoughtfully included.

Saltwater Heated Pool

Private, fenced saltwater pool — open 24 hours, all year round. Pool heating available seasonally. The whole family lives out here.

Private Hot Tub

Open 24 hours. Right by the pool. The warm water, the Florida night air, the sound of waves — this is where the best conversations happen.

Ground-Floor Game Room

Its own separate level with everything you need to disappear for hours — and direct patio access for when you need fresh air between games.

Intracoastal Views

The third-floor living room frames the waterway through oversized windows. Morning coffee with that view is non-negotiable.

Milkshake Maker & Waffle Iron

The fully equipped kitchen goes beyond the basics. A milkshake maker and waffle iron have their own dedicated fan club in the guest reviews.

Self Check-In & Concierge Service

A Schlage smart lock means no key fumbling. Lauren's digital guest portal — with house info and her favorite local spots — arrives before you do.

Everything Included

Arrive light.
Leave full.

Lauren and Eric stock every property the way they'd want it when they arrive — beach towels, starter supplies, everything in the kitchen. No scavenger hunts. No forgotten essentials. Just unpack and hit the sand in St. Augustine, Florida.
