In St. Augustine...Oyster Creek is the way to go. Ask for Walt. Walk to everything and cheaper than the muni and Camatchee cove. Conch house is shoal and exposed in a blow. We couldn't get off our boat in a gale there. Also a long way from food stores but closest to breaches. No pools anywhere. Too cold for swimming this time of year anyway.
St Augustine is a wonderful, interesting city but not real young kid friendly.
I would suggest Daytona Beach and Halifax Harbor marina as a better place for an extended stay with young children. Beautiful beaches, ball games, nascar center, boardwalk, amusements etc. etc.
Further south...Vero Beach and Ft. Lauderdale also would be good choices depending on budget but both are warmer than either St. Augustine or Daytona.
