What this budget forces you to decide here
Ocean side or marsh side
East of A1A is sand and surge letters; west is the Intracoastal, docks and a quieter zone. The budget buys one or the other.
Condo or house
The island’s condo tier carries the building’s insurance and reserve picture under Florida’s post-Surfside rules; the house carries its own roof.
Rental potential vs residence
St. Augustine Beach and the county permit short-term rentals differently by zone. Decide which you are buying before the house.

Common questions
Is $1.2M enough to buy in Anastasia Island & St. Augustine Beach?
The live count at the top of this page is the honest answer for today: every home for sale across these neighboring subdivisions at or under $1.2M, with the median. The three homes below are picked from that set by rule (most space, newest, best price per square foot), so what you see is what the money buys this week, not a brochure.
How are the three homes chosen?
By rule, from every marketable listing in the ring at or under the budget: the largest living area, the newest build year, and the lowest price per square foot, each a different home. The set refreshes with the feed. No home is featured by arrangement and no listing agent is involved in the pick.
Can I rent a St. Augustine Beach home short-term?
It depends on the jurisdiction and the zone: the city of St. Augustine Beach, the county’s unincorporated island and the city of St. Augustine each regulate differently, and a condo’s association adds its own rules. I confirm the current rule for any home a client is buying partly as a rental.
