Location: Private Homes, St. Augustine Beach, Florida North East, Florida, USA (Oldest City in USA, Close to Jacksonville & Orlando) View Map
Accommodations: House, 5 Bedrooms, 3 Baths (Sleeps 10-14)
Some of my favorite things: Watching a full moon rise over the ocean at night from the jacuzzi, Building a fire in the firepit on the beach, The time of evening around sunset when the ocean and sky turn a surreal shade of pink, Napping in the hammock in the gazebo, Lighting the numerous candles and dining only by candlelight, Late night swims in the pool, Alfresco dining on the deck, Glowsticks for the children on the beach, Watervolleyball in the pool with friends, Shelling after high tide.
Situated in the town limits of St. Augustine Beach, fenced and on three lots, this home is ideally located. Approximately 4 miles south of Historic downtown St. Augustine (no beaches there!) and within walking distance of restaurants and shopping, all attractions are convenient. There are many activities available that will appeal to everyone. To the north of us towards historic downtown you'll pass the St. Augustine Lighthouse and the Alligator Farm. In town, there are numerous attractions and a visit is a must. Among them, Castillo De San Marcos, the Fountain of Youth, Potter's Wax Museum, Ripley's Believe it or Not, Horse Drawn Carriage Rides, Ghost Tours, and of course the european charm of St. George Street with its shops and open air cafes.
Downtown is also the location of many festivals and concerts held throughout the year. Make sure to check out the websites listed below to find out what is happening during the time you plan to visit! If you head west you'll see the beauty of the intracoastal Waterway and St. John's River (one of the few in the world that flows north!), not to mention, for golf aficionados, the World Golf Village, with the World Golf hall of Fame and Imax theater.
Heading south (the drive is gorgeous in itself), there is Fort Matanzas, not as famous as the Castillo, but enthralling nonetheless as it involves a boat ride across the intracoastal. Marineland, the oldest theme park in Florida, is further south along A1A. And, finally, heading east, well, you have what brings most here, the beautiful Atlantic Ocean!
Back to the house! This is truly a special place. Almost every room in the home has a complete view of the ocean, most with an adjoining deck. With over 3,000 square feet of decks, large swimming pool, oceanfront gazebo, beautiful lawn, and outside jacuzzi with an amazing view, this is a perfect vacation home for families or several couples.
All modern appliances and almost every amenity you could want, this home has it all! Each room is decorated in a different motif, from the tropical with king-size bed, TV and VCR,small breakfast table, private bath, and outside jacuzzi. There is also the aloha room with a queen-size bed, and outside deck.
The lighthouse room has a queen-size bed, a coquina fireplace, tv & vcr,small breakfast table, and outside deck. The other two rooms feature trundle beds, one of which converts to a king. The surf room has easy access to the pool and is on the first floor. The children's room (decorated for the young or young at heart) has easy access to the west deck and has its own TV and VCR for your convenience. The living and dining areas are decorated in a casual Florida style and here you will find the second coquina fireplace. Easy access to the outside with double sliding doors and direct ocean view are additional charms. An outside gas grill and bar area make this an ideal home for entertaining.
Did I mention the beach? The beach was renourished in 2002 and is wide and sandy. Automobiles are not allowed and best of all you can walk directly from our yard onto the silky sand! There are no steps or walkovers, just you and the beach. Pets are NOT allowed, No Smoking. Rates are for up to 10 guests, additional charge for more than 10 guests. Rates do not include tax and cleaning charge. Special Events such as weddings have a surcharge. Pool can be heated for fee.

Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
This was our family home until 2000 when a business venture relocated us to the Suwannee River. A future venture moved us close to home: Welaka, Florida. We enjoyed and still enjoy the beauty of St. Augustine every time we are fortunate enough to visit!
The Unique Benefits at this House
The sweet smell of the surf, watching the sun and moonrise, the feel of sand beneath my toes. All of these things and many more make the location perfect!
