Island Villas is a low-rise condominium complex built in 1985, arranged as two-story walk-up buildings containing primarily two-bedroom units. Exterior character is modest and functional, with sliding-glass doors, small private balconies or ground-level patios, pond and fountain views, and mature tropical landscaping that frames communal courtyards and walking paths. Units typically feature open living/dining layouts, eat-in kitchens with breakfast bars and pantries, solid surface counters, split-bedroom plans, walk-in closets in primary bedrooms, a mix of tile and vinyl plank flooring, and ceiling fans throughout. Bathrooms vary between layouts that include tub/shower combinations and separate showers; several units have been updated with granite or coriander counters and stainless-steel appliances. On-site amenities are simple and community-focused: a spacious swimming pool, maintained grounds, and pedestrian-friendly sidewalks leading toward Anastasia Island beach access about a mile away. Parking is surface-level and assigned per complex rules; the association manages exterior maintenance and moderate HOA fees. Pet and rental policies vary by unit and should be confirmed with management. The setting emphasizes casual beachside living with easy access to local shops, restaurants, and St. Augustine’s historic and entertainment venues.
