Coastal Living Meets Iconic St. Augustine Charm
There are homes you live in — and then there are homes that immerse you in a lifestyle. 408 Third Street in St. Augustine is firmly in the second category.
From the moment you step onto the guest house lanai, you’re treated to one of the simplest and most joyful luxuries: front-row people watching on one of the neighborhood’s most charming streets. Golf carts glide by with laughing families, young surfers cruise past with boards tucked under their arms, dog walkers greet the morning sun, and runners start their day with salty ocean air filling their lungs. It’s the kind of everyday scenery that makes you slow down and smile.
Over the past 30 years, the nearby presence of Cap’s on the Water has only enhanced the neighborhood’s appeal — never becoming a nuisance and, in the past decade, thoughtfully shifting its focus toward family-friendly dining and private events. With highly efficient valet-only parking, traffic and congestion are surprisingly minimal, preserving the relaxed coastal atmosphere residents value.
And when you do choose to dine out, the experience speaks for itself.
