    "The oldest city needs no Explanation. But at the beach, I have the benefit of the old city and the ocean and the intercoastal waterway. That is very unique."
  • Charlie
    "Love the atmosphere at Ocean Village Club. Plenty to do. Either visiting the old historical areas of St. Augustine or just lolling on the beach. What a terrific place to live and work."
  • Don D.
    "We live here for part of the year and will be moving here full time in the next 2 years. The area is well maintained by property owners.
