Very quite, and clean condo. Easy beach access, comfortable bed. Screened in outdoor seating. Gated community, hassel free. For longer stays it looked that the home is very well stocked for cooking. Nice Keurig coffee machine with a coffee pot.

Hi, I’m Michala Almstead, a financial advisor based in sunny Tampa, Florida. Although my career brought me to the Gulf Coast, my heart has always belonged to St. Augustine. I grew up on St. Augustine Beach with my three sisters, and no matter where life takes me, that small coastal town will always feel like home. The Drift Away isn’t just an investment property to me, it’s a connection to my roots. It’s where I can unwind, breathe in the salt air, and feel the familiar sense of calm that only St. Augustine can bring. Growing up there taught me the value of community, family, and enjoying life’s simple pleasures, all of which continue to shape who I am today. St. Augustine is more than a destination, it’s a feeling, one that stays with you no matter how far you go. I’m proud to come home to it, time and time again. I hope this place becomes a sanctuary for you too — a space to relax, recharge, and make lasting memories. Please treat it with the same care and respect I do, so that future guests (and I!) can continue to enjoy its magic for years to come.
Tucked along the white sands of St. Augustine Beach, Ocean Gallery is a private, gated oceanfront community known for its resort-style amenities and peaceful coastal charm. Guests enjoy direct beach access, shimmering pools, hot tubs, tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness center, and scenic walking paths that wind through lush tropical landscaping. Whether you’re here to relax by the water, catch a sunrise over the Atlantic, or take a moonlit stroll along the sand, Ocean Gallery offers the perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and convenience. Just outside the gates, you’ll find the laid-back rhythm of St. Augustine Beach — where surf shops, local cafes, and open-air restaurants line A1A. Grab brunch at Beachside Diner, enjoy a cocktail at Salt Life Food Shack, or listen to live music at The Oasis after a day in the sun. A short drive over the Bridge of Lions takes you to Historic Downtown St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city, filled with cobblestone streets, centuries-old architecture, and vibrant energy. Explore unique boutiques along St. George Street, taste award-winning cuisine at The Floridian or Preserved, sip local wine at San Sebastian Winery, or unwind with rooftop views at Casa Reina. From charming coffee shops to art galleries and hidden courtyards, St. Augustine’s local culture blends old-world history with coastal flair. No matter what kind of getaway you’re looking for — beachside serenity, foodie adventures, or historic exploration — you’ll find it here. 🌴 Explore all my local favorites, hidden gems, and must-try spots in my St. Augustine Guidebook, just message me for the details!
