About this property
Beautiful Pool Home ~ 4 King En-suite Bedrooms ~ Only 100 steps to the beach!
This four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home with four king beds will comfortably accommodate up to 14 guests, so bring the whole family!
Why choose between the beach and a pool? Carpe Diem has both! Swim in your own private, screened-in, heated swimming pool or head just 100 steps to the private, friendly beach.
The home contains bed and bath linens, a garden tub, hardwood floors… great care and attention to detail – it provides a beautiful vacation! We pride ourselves on cleanliness and assure you of an extremely clean and inviting home upon arrival so that you may relax and enjoy your visit! There is a wide variety of amenities, including a freezer, microwave, ice maker, oven, ceiling fans, refrigerator, Wi-Fi access, coffee maker, Keurig, cooking range, televisions, cookware, dishwasher, utensils, washer and dryer, a wet bar, and much more.
The house is two levels, with beautiful landscaping outside and wonderfully decorated on the inside!
One hundred twenty-five steps to the beach from an easy path on one side and a 2-minute walk to the Intracoastal Waterway on the other. This quiet, but hip area of Vilano/North Beach is famous for surfing, paddle boarding, fishing, shark teeth hunting, and much more. You can walk, bike, or drive to many great restaurants within minutes. Our comfortable home is a 5-minute drive to the fun and activity-filled oldest town in America, St. Augustine! The Vilano Beach pier is a 2-minute car drive away (or a 40-minute beach walk), where you'll find a Publix grocery store and a mini outdoor mall. A local post office, bait and gear store, a boat rental facility, gas dock, a local pub, and more restaurants near and on the Intracoastal beach are in the same area. It is a 20-minute drive to the home of the PGA at TPC Sawgrass and a 2.5-hour drive to Disney World.
For an additional $200/week or less, the pool can be heated to a maximum of 84 degrees. Pool heat must be added to your reservation at least 48 hours before arrival. Please note that we do not heat the pool from Memorial Day through mid-September.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Beautiful home. Roomy with plenty of space for everyone. There is also a foosball table that we enjoyed playing in our downtime. Having a bathroom in each room was fantastic. Beds in all the rooms were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with pans and pots etc for cooking. We used the sofa bed in the sitting area and it was surprisingly comfortable as well. Walk to the beach is very short and a great big beach to enjoy. Communication with owner was quick and informative. Overall great stay and highly recommend.
This is a great property, nice and clean. Everything from the appliances to the bathrooms worked great. It is a very short walk to the beach, and we had a great time!

Lovely home in a quiet neighborhood. Four master bedrooms, very clean and comfortable. The pool is small, but that was not a problem for us. We all enjoyed our stay very much.
Beautiful home had all the things we needed the. The kitchen had everything for cooking our meals. Ned to bring shampoo and soap for bathrooms We had a wonderful time
We loved our stay. The house was excellent - so clean. Loved the amount of towels!!
We thought the very short walk to the beach was great - so close. The location was perfect - close to everything.

This house is absolutely perfect for extended family vacations. Very quick drive to downtown and easy beach access. The house has everything you could need.
Carpe Diem was such a great place to stay. The house is beautiful, everything worked great, convenient walk to the beach. Cute neighborhood and they had everything we needed. The pool is on the smaller side, but it was perfect for us. We would definitely stay here again!
