Welcome, Seth & Ashlyn. This is your weekend by the water - three slow beach days planned around your favorite travel companion, Griffey, your 81.2 lb good boy. Every place below rolls out the welcome mat for him too.
Five places that put the beach within reach and keep Griffey comfortable - fenced yards, outdoor showers, and big-dog-welcome doors throughout.
Modern 3-bedroom house
A bright, modern house just a 3-minute walk to the sand. Plenty of room to spread out after a beach day.
That big fenced yard is Griffey's own backyard for the weekend - off-leash zoomies, no worries.

Just one block from the beach with a paved, fully fenced yard - easy on the feet and easy to keep tidy.
The paved fenced yard rinses clean after sandy adventures - and keeps an 81.2 lb explorer happily contained.
View on VrboBoutique hotel · Vilano Beach
A 16-room boutique hotel sitting directly on a dog-friendly beach. Breakfast and beach gear are included, so you can travel light.
Any size dog is welcome here - so Griffey, all 81.2 pounds of him, walks right in the front door.
Oceanfront resort · St. Augustine Beach
An oceanfront resort that keeps things budget-friendly without giving up the view. Dogs even get pool-deck access.
Pool-deck access for dogs means Griffey gets to lounge poolside right alongside you two.
Leash up and explore. From the open shoreline to historic fort grounds, these are the spots where Griffey gets to come along.
Leashed dogs are fully welcome on both St. Augustine Beach and Vilano Beach. Long shoreline walks, splashing in the shallows, and naps in the sun.
Bring a leash and a towel - Griffey's going to want to chase the foam.
Walk the historic fort grounds and soak up the views over Matanzas Bay. Dogs are allowed on leash around the outside of the fort.
Leashed pups roam the grounds - perfect for a slow morning stroll with Griffey.
Wander the old streets like St. George Street - cobblestones, shaded courtyards, and centuries of history at an easy pace.
A leashed walk down St. George Street is right up Griffey's alley.
Fifteen acres of dog-friendly grounds with roaming peacocks and historical exhibits. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the park.
Wide-open, leashed-dog-friendly grounds - room for Griffey to explore (and meet a peacock).
Patios, courtyards, and a little garden cafe - every table below has room for an 81.2 lb dinner guest.
Laid-back beach patio vibes right at St. Augustine Beach. Fresh seafood, cold drinks, and a super dog-friendly deck.
Big dogs welcome on the patio - Griffey gets a shady spot under the table.
A beautiful downtown courtyard with live music and hearty Cajun and creole cooking. Easygoing and very dog-friendly.
The open courtyard happily seats big pups, so Griffey can soak up the live music with you.
A tiny garden-like oasis downtown for morning espresso and tea, with quiet outdoor seating to start the day slow.
Outdoor garden seating means Griffey can curl up at your feet while the coffee brews.
Sandy paws, salty air, and a slow Florida pace. Seth, Ashlyn, and Griffey - here's to a relaxing getaway with the whole family along for the ride. Tail wags guaranteed.
