The Madonna House | Ganzes Strandrefugium | 6 SZ 4 BZ

This exclusive property also boasts a large fenced-in yard draped in mature palm trees and the most perfect sunset views. This "blank canvas" back yard venue provokes the imagination and would love to be used upon request for your special event.

Each unit has it's own private entrance. They are not inter-connected from the inside.

Shared spaces include the backyard & parking areas (although there are 5 separate "lanes" to park in, so separate parties should be able to have their own lane at a minimum, based on occupancy).

The back porch is considered part of the upstairs unit (The Sunset Suite).

We value giving guests space to relax, but we’re always available if needed. Messaging is monitored regularly, and we use smart hosting tools to provide quick responses and smooth check-in support.

If you like coffee & a morning walk, check out either of two walkable coffee shops on A1A - Kookaburra & Sunrise Brew! Hot Spot Yoga is next to Sunrise Brew. There are plenty of local places to eat close by. Recommend Romano’s for Italian & Seafood Kitchen right up the street. Beachside diner is a local favorite for breakfast/ brunch.

The beach also has drive on access from Dondanville Rd with 4x4 vehicles (for drive on, $10 day pass required 3/1-9/30). Walking onto the beaches is always completely free!

Downtown (historic) St Augustine is just over the Bridge of Lions, less than 10 minutes north on A1A. You will find plenty of special places to stop in and enjoy along the way!

A few notes on getting around - While the beach and casual dining are walkable, you will find plenty more to explore with a short drive! I suggest an uber if going downtown to avoid any parking hassle, but there are metered parking areas & a garage available there as well.

If you're up for it, my personal favorite way to "do downtown" is to find free street parking on any side street, JUST before the Bridge of Lions... then take the BEAUTIFUL short walk over the bridge. You will see the BEST view of the whole city from there - amazing light & the best photos!

One last tip - if it’s your first time in St. Aug, I highly recommend the Trolly Tours! Hop on & hop off all day. It's fantastic for all ages.

Host approval of special event plans required, and based upon scale/scope, additional fees apply.
