A1A Beach Retreat

Simple, spotless, and right in the middle of everything.

We're the family behind Hook Ya, and we host two apartments in the heart of St. Augustine Beach. Both are set up for easy stays: keyless entry with your own code, two reserved parking spaces, a full kitchen, fast WiFi, and cable TV.

Walk out the door and you're steps from the beach, the St. Augustine Pier, and a lineup of restaurants, coffee shops, and beach bars along A1A. Historic downtown is about five miles up the road, so you get a quiet beach-town base with the fort, St. George Street, and the bayfront an easy drive away.

Historic downtown · 5 miles

The nation's oldest city

Tour the 350-year-old Castillo de San Marcos, wander the shops and cafés of pedestrian-only St. George Street, and cross the Bridge of Lions at sunset. Flagler College, the Lightner Museum, and the Cathedral Basilica are all within a few blocks. Trolley tours, ghost tours, and the distillery and brewery scene round out the evening.

Nights of Lights

Every winter downtown glows with millions of white lights, from the plaza and the Lightner Museum to the bayfront. Walk it, take a trolley or a boat tour, and book early. It's the busiest season in town.

Walkable

St. Augustine Beach & Pier

Wide, hard-packed sand you can walk for miles. Fish or catch sunrise from the pier, hit the Wednesday farmers market at the pier park, and rent bikes, boards, or chairs a block from your door.

Parks and wild beaches

Fishing charters & boat trips

This is fishing country. It's why Hook Ya exists. Inshore guides run the flats and creeks for redfish, trout, and flounder; offshore charters out of the St. Augustine Inlet chase mahi, wahoo, kingfish, and snapper. Prefer to relax? Book a dolphin cruise, a sunset sail, or a scenic tour of the bay.

Eat your way down A1A

Casual fish-camp seafood and taco stands, chef-driven fine dining, oceanfront brunch, craft breweries, tiki bars, and live music most nights. Ask us for our current favorites when you book.

From our kitchen to yours

Take a little St. Augustine home.

Hook Ya was born on this coast. Our datil pepper hot sauces and blackened seasonings are made in St. Augustine, and they're the same ones we cook with at the beach. Stock up before your trip, or grab a bottle on the way out of town.
