WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER: • CLASSIC: Our boat is classic, which is a polite way to say that it’s a little old. It’s clean and well maintained, but does have some age and outdoor related wear. • SMALL SPACE: This studio, 1 bathroom vessel measures 446 square feet. It’s perfect for 2 guests. • BOAT BATHROOM: Boats have different bathrooms and are best for #1's so we built a marina bathroom facility exclusively for our Airbnb guests equipped with traditional showers and toilets Q: Location? A: English Landing less than 1-mile to the heart of the historic district. A five minute Uber away! The boat is located in a private marina where our boat is slipped. This accommodation is for people looking for peace and tranquility over the river in the St. Augustine historic district. Q: How big is the space? A: Taller sailors may need to duck but at 6'3" you can still stand tall. Photos may not be accurate to size. For more spacious vessels please visit our bigger listings available. Q: What is a V-Berth bed? A: A V-berth bed is usually located at the bow (front) of the boat and has a V-shape so the bed tapers to the bow of the vessel. Q: What is a Quarter berth bed? A: A Quarter berth is a single bunk tucked under the cockpit (end where the captain wheel is) of the boat. Q: How can I see all of your places for rent? A: Click on our Airbnb profile (the round photo) & scroll all the way to the bottom below the aggregated reviews (on Mobile) or look to the left (on Desktop). You’ll see all of our listings - or check them out by clicking the link below: Q: 1 Night Reservations? A: Yes! You can instant book or send us an inquiry! Q: Is it comfortable? A: VERY! Our boats are designed with live-aboard / stay-aboard in mind with all the creature comforts of home. Fully stocked kitchenettes, premium furnishings, TV, Keurig coffee makers… etc. Q: Any restaurants close by? A: TONS! Some of St. Augustine’s best are within a mile of the marina. There is also a gorgeous waterside food truck park in The English Landing Marina. Features the area's most loved food trucks. Open 11-8 daily. Enjoy dining at our umbrella-covered picnic tables spaced ten feet apart. Handicap accessible and pet friendly. Q: How to book: A: If you don’t have any questions after reading over the FAQ below then simply instant book. If you send an inquiry we’ll respond promptly, if not immediately. Q: Why is the price so different for my dates? A: We automatically sets our prices based on demand & seasonality. If you don’t search with exact dates Airbnb shows the lowest price throughout the season. Prices range from $99 per night for weekday day-of bookings in January all the way to $499 per night for weekends during peak season summer and everywhere in-between. Q: Bathroom… explain! A: The boat has a full sized marine toilet that is easy to use as long as you follow our simple instructions. The bathroom on the boat can be used for number 1's. Otherwise there can be odors from the tank. There is a bathroom facility for everything else! Q: Heat? Air Conditioning? A: There is a portable A/C and a portable heater for the colder months with plenty of insulation to stay warm at night! The portable AC is not like central Air so it may not be as cool as a house. For more powerful A/C vessels please see our bigger vessel listings. Q: Wifi? A: The Marina is equipped with a WiFi network. Codes will be provided shortly prior to check-in Q: Can we take the boats out & drive them? A: We have our own captain to charter the vessels. We do not have bare bone charters. Please message us about our private cruises. Q: Can we check-in early? A: Early check-in is available as early as 2pm for an additional fee of $20. Early check-in is subject to availability Q: Can I checkout late? A: We will do our best. Most days there’s someone checking in the same day there’s a checkout but we try & go above and beyond if this is requested. Subject to availability and charges may apply. Q: What to expect that's different than a hotel? A: It's a boat, it is a unique FUN experience. There may be noises and smells that you'd expect from a boat. Pumps, motors, ocean water, etc. Every boat is broken the day it hits the water, especially salt water. We take great care of our fleet but we expect guests to tell us if anything isn’t working properly & we will PROMPTLY respond & will try to repair it in a timely manner. Q: Waves? Storm? A:. There is still a small amount of wave action and you'll feel a slight rock from time-to-time. If there's a bad storm or the wave action gets to a point that your stay is no longer enjoyable, we will do our best (no guarantees) to work out alternative accommodations for you. Your comfort is our top priority. 99% of the time the marina is almost totally flat and calm. If there is a tropical storm or hurricane warning issued in our county we offer full credits toward another stay on any of our vessels to accommodate the situation Q: Do you allow pets? A: You bet! We ask that dogs not be puppies, don’t scratch at doors, and don’t bark incessantly while you’re away. The boats are close together & a non-stop barking dog isn’t appreciated. We DEEP clean the boats after pets stay aboard due to future guests’ possible allergies so a $50 pet fee per pet is applied for those who travel with pets with a maximum of two. Q: Can we leave our pets unattended in the boat? A: No. But in case you have to, it should only be for a really short period of time( 30 minutes) and you should leave at least the bathroom hatch open. Pets might be uncomfortable or react to unexpected situations while inside the boat and during the summertime when temperatures are higher and if the power goes out and AC is off it might trigger some discomfort too. Q: Can we hold events or parties? A: No. This is a place to relax. We ask that there be no events or parties on the boats so the other guests can enjoy their stay. Quiet time after 10pm. Q: Is the marina safe? A: VERY. We have 24/7 surveillance. The parking lot & dock is well lit & the marina is right off US-1 which is one of the main roads in St. Augustine. All boats lock from inside & you can padlock the door when you leave if you wish to lock up your belongings. We’re here daily looking over the fleet. Q: Handicap accessible? A: No. You'll need to get on the boat which requires a 1-2' step and there are steps on the boat. The deck stairs are steep and you'll need to be sure footed. Q: Parking? A: Yes, you can park your car. Since it’s a small private marina the walk to the parking lot from the boat is only roughly yards away. Q: What if there is a hurricane advisory? A: If there are hurricane advisories issued in the local area we are happy to move the reservations to a later date or issue a full credit toward another reservation with us. This credit can also be applied to our cruises and is transferable to other vessels. Other Things to Note: \*\*\* Please note: This is like a camping experience on the water in beautiful Downtown St. Augustine.

With several unique food trucks in the adjacent courtyard and only minutes from The Amp, it was the perfect location and the boat was cozy and well stocked. We’ll be back next month for another show, and will be booking an extra night to fully indulge ourselves. Thank you again! ##### Hayley S. Stayed 1 night in Jun 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Diane P.

Aug 14, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Mini getaway The cleanliness of the boat was good, however it was much more dated than the picture showed. It was in a good location, bathroom facilities on shore were fantastic and food trucks were nice. I would recommend installing a regular AC as the portable one did nothing more than heat the cabin with the discharge air emissions. Once the sun went down and I opened the hatch over the bed and placed a large box fan we brought with us in the doorway it circulated the air nicely. I laid in bed and watched the Perseid meteor shower through the roof hatch. It was an experience I'll never forget!! Overall it was a great experience! ##### Karen S. Stayed 1 night in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sidney J. May 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Intimate stay right at the English Landing Marina Small sail boat / Yatch perfect intimate space for a couple or two people since it does have two separate beds. It can accommodate for more than three people but it may be too crowded. Good amount of standing head room, but may be too low for tall people. I recommend this boat motel for those seeking for a place to stay right by the ocean, waking up to the sound of the ocean, feel the wave from other boats sailing by, maybe mingle with your fellow boat neighbors right next door and sleep under the stars while you feel that perfect summer breeze! I was happy to sleep inside or outside.Very small kitchen equipt with simple general appliances, plates and utensils. The kitchen sink, mini fridge and toilet worked well. Sink drain was slow and the toilet needed to be manually pumping when going #1. All showers and for when going number #2 were located in a private bathroom facility right by the parking lot about 30-50 ft away from our boat. Super clean private bathroom facility, great hot water with great water pressure.We were careful enough to use the electrical kitchen appliances one a time to avoid a possible power outage since all boats are at risk when you have too many things running at the time. We brought our own mini grill and with permission grilled right at the dock next to out boat, boy we had a blast.There are also a great variety of food trucks right on the marina of you rather not cook, alcoholic beverages can here's a gas station right across the street too ##### Sidney J.

My biggest problem is when I reached out to get help with things that didn’t work I got no response during my stay. Very disappointing. ##### Sandy R. Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian J. Mar 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fun stay and so clean!! Loved this experience. It's like being in a small apartment. First two days were cold and wet, but there's a small space heater that warms up the entire space! Can be a little wet in the ladder area due to canopy not covering all of hatch area making the floor and counters wet. No table available, but shown in pics. Made it hard to work from home or eat without a proper place to set things on. The electric single stove top does not work. Beyond that, everything was exceptional. The marina is completely quiet with great views (dolphins outside every day) and has food trucks. There's a winn-dixie within a 5 minute walk, wal-mart a 10 minute walk. Hurrican Patty's for great seaside food and you can easily walk to downtown St. Augustine and Flagler collect, San Sebastian and others with no effort. Honestly, you don't even need a car to enjoy and get around. If its warm, the hatches open and there are two fans that I used to circulate the air and was more than ample to keep cool on an 83 degree sunny florida day. I would absolutely recommend everything about this, but I would recommend a camping mat under any mattress for firmer bedtime support. The boat was exceptionally clean and the marina bathrooms are close, modern, clean and secure. Very well decorated. Never a concern about safety and dog friendly. Enjoy it!!! ##### Brian J.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay on the Blue Oasis. However, the pictures on the listing make the condition of the boat appear a lot newer and in better condition than it really is. The main galley door does not have a lock on it, so we did not feel safe leaving our belongings on the boat when we were away during the day. The toilet did not pump out very well (we used the toilet only for #1 visits). The kitchen sink drains clogged up; even though we did not wash anything down them but liquids. On a positive note, though, when we sent a message through the VRBO listing email about the clogged kitchen sink drain, the maintenance gal responded very quickly, as she was cleaning the boat next to the Blue Oasis. And the new building at the marina just a few steps away that has three full bathroom/shower facilities is very nice! ##### Tamarha E. Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2022 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Denise L.

I will be petitioning VRBO for a refund. And I lived on a boat so…This is not a safe place to stay and this boat looks nothing like the photos anymore - I do not think photos were taken since the original purchase of the property, and I do not think the owner has been on this property in recent years.This is a neglected boat, not a “ classic…a little old”.Exposed bolts and screws waiting for a head to hit, no hot water, a non-functional coffee maker, a Bimini that is rigged, cracked plastic sheeting someone melted a hole in (and drips on you) that you can’t stand up under, a TV trying to fall off that doesn’t work, no tables as in the photos. It is NOT a fully stocked kitchenette - no way to cook anything although there was some silverware, mugs and wine glasses. The bathrooms at the wharf are clean, check-in was easy, the food trucks are fun BUT they leave the music on, loudly, all night, so ya’ gotta like to sleep noisy in a wharf. Any real sailor would cry looking at the boats here - most haven’t been registered in years and are simply being used to make a few bucks. Back out now if you have booked. I emailed the owner all the issues we had in staying just one night and was ghosted. I didn’t expect well-oiled teak wood or sails furled and waiting, but yuck. ##### Denise L.

Apr 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice and relaxing This was a nice and relaxing spot to spend a few days. George Street was about a 15-20 minute walk away. Many other attractions were very accessible as well as plenty of coffee shops and restaurants . The property manger was very helpful and quick to communicate. We were aware of the fact that these are vintage vessels and didn't expect them to be pristine but they were comfortable and taken care of. We also realized that this was not a resort and some amenities were very basic. Using the Marina shower rooms and facilities were expected. They were clean and well taken care of. This just added to the adventure. I am just over 6' and banged my head several times. This was not the property owner's fault, just know that if you are much over 6' you will need to duck a lot. We didn't have any major issues to speak of. The biggest negative was the lack of consistent signal on the TV. We wound up just using our laptop for entertainment in the evening after sunset. This was frustrating but not a deal breaker since we were there to just relax. We enjoyed the peacefulness of the morning sunrise and the peacefulness at the end of the day. The best review I can give is we will be back. ##### Jim F. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jennifer E. Apr 6, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Fun location boat needs work. Well, you need to remember it’s a boat. I lived on a boat for years and I know what it takes to keep up a boat. With a little TLC this would be so nice. For the current price, ($550.+) for a weekend go to a nice hotel. The host knew we were coming. 1st night was miserable, no lights, limited power supply we couldn’t use tv, iPods or charge devices. We toughed it out because it was late.. “Manager” came the next morning. With lights and power it was better. Inside was acceptable but everything onthe outside needs work. Hatches hard to open, a simple step would make boarding easier, hinders rusted through, teak work needed help. Most of the vessel was repaired with non marine supplies. So they painted surfaces instead of gel coat. So when you sit on the boat flakes come off on your clothes. Too many little things to write about that would make this experience better. But the good points are the location, the fun food trucks on the dock and of course seeing the sunrise. I think it’s extremely overpriced. Will not do it again. ##### Jennifer E.

The bathroom facilities were better than expected. There were a few issues on the sailboat that we emailed them about, but never received a reply. Overall, we would do it again there, but on one of the other boats that we saw available. ##### Aaron M. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Crystal G. Mar 3, 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### Worst stay ever!!!! My husband and I were looking forward to, and extremely excited, for a getaway without the kids. We paid extra to check in early and received confirmation of payment. Once we finally found the boat it looked nothing like the pictures posted. The cushions were old, faded, and falling apart. The boat was much older than the pictures posted. In fact, the boat looked like a different boat than what was seen online. Once we arrived we realized that there was no real way to get on the boat. No steps, handles, or support. My husband made it on the boat with extreme difficulty. When I tried to get on the boat I ended up falling on the side of the boat hurting myself and ripping my clothes. Luckily, I did not fall into the water, but came very close to doing so as blood poured down my left leg hanging on for dear life. I stayed on the dock unable to make it onto the boat as my husband looked around inside the boat. Used condoms were present, urine left in the bathroom, trash everywhere, and the boat was a complete mess. We were applauded and very upset. A few minutes later house keeping walked up to the boat and we informed her of the mess. She apologized and said she had not had a chance to clean the boat. My husband and I asked to stay at another boat instead. We were moved to a houseboat that had little to no AC and beds were on the floor. Again, we became very upset. Management then had the audacity to ask us for more money since we had moved boats. We explained to management what happened and that we would not be paying any extra money and instead to cancel the reservation in full. Management gave us a hard time unwilling to cancel the reservation and instructed us to call VRBO to cancel reservation. Called VRBO and reservation was canceled as requested. Management refunded less than half of what I had originally paid. When asked for clarification of the refund I received no response from management in return. For any potential future guests I would NEVER stay at this location, run!!!!! ##### Crystal G. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Curtis F.

Place was clean, cute and comfortable. Was raining over the weekend we stay , but that made our stay even nicer. What was outstanding that second day some nice women came and asked if we need anything : extra towel, water etc. and asked if everything is ok. That was very nice :) Thank you so much for everything!!! Your boat made my bday weekend even more special. ##### Joanna M. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Jennie D. Jun 16, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, communication Disliked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy #### Reconsider.... We overpaid on a night's stay but based upon the photos and description, decided to book a night. We realized the VERY next day the price dropped in half!! It was not a holiday weekend or anything like that, we were just over charged for one night! They should know - in the summer months the small a/c portable unit in the cabin cannot cool adequately! It makes the onboard bathroom smell too much to handle and it was so warm we could not stay and sleep there. We had to leave at night! There was a storm prior and the door (3 wood panels that stack precariously) would not close right. NO instructions on how to do this (we aren't boaters). I had to message and did get a prompt response how to close panels but so much water got in prior and we were soaked! Tried to leave to get off boat when there was lightening but the door to the marina broke and we couldn't until we messaged and someone came to fix it. All around - nightmare! When we asked for even a partial refund - NO WAY! DON"T stay here - run.... DESPITE all this we do bless the owners and pray they will be fair to others going forward! ##### Jennie D.
