About this property
Oceanfront House with Private Beach, Patio, and Gameroom
Thanks for your interest in our direct-oceanfront beach house, SandSeeker Cottage.
Since 2003 we have been providing great experiences for our guests, and this year is no exception. 2025 marks our 22nd rental season on VRBO, and we have received over 200 perfect reviews. The house has four bedrooms, three baths, and with the fold out couch, can accommodate up to ten people. The house is perfect for extended families and friends. Rentals of 7 nights or longer receive a ten percent discount.
Although we are only a few minutes away from Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach, we are on one of the most isolated beaches in Florida, which makes it perfect for an uncrowded, family vacation. The house is bordered north and south by single family, oceanfront homes, and on the west by a huge, uninhabited nature preserve. Just a few steps to the east is the Atlantic Ocean, with beautiful sunrises and the sound of endless waves. The closest public accesses are nearly a mile in either direction, and with no motorized vehicles allowed, you'll only see a few walkers looking for shells and sharks' teeth.
This is a roomy, comfortable, two-story home with four bedrooms (king, king, queen, and twins) and three full bathrooms. Three bedrooms, with King, Queen and Twin beds and two bathrooms are located upstairs; the other King bedroom and bath, along with a large game room which has a sofa-bed, are located downstairs. The two floors and two common areas provide a lot of separation, which can be nice with even the closest of families (i.e. teenagers vs. adults, or working vs. relaxing). It is perfect for the extended family, and can handle multiple generations with ease.
The house has a full-size kitchen, with plenty of pots, pans, and utensils. Supermarkets are less than 10 minutes away, providing big savings on the traveling food budget compared to dining out.
Outside, it's only a few steps to the beach. There are plenty of chairs, a fenced in courtyard with gas grille, outside hot/cold showers and covered area for some shade. Just a great beach location! The fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room, playroom, downstairs and upstairs master bedrooms overlook the Atlantic Ocean; and comfortable first and second floor decks overlooking the ocean can give guests a breathtaking view of the sunrise over the water. Perfect for sitting in the shade and watching the activities on the beach below.
The house is strategically located midway between prestigious Ponte Vedra Beach and historic St. Augustine, which offer fine and casual dining, shopping, and recreation for all. The City of Jacksonville is less than an hour away, offering big time sports, entertainment and world class medical facilities, including the Mayo Clinic and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.
If you have read our 200+ reviews, you already know that we maintain the house to a high standard of cleanliness, and after Covid, we are even more diligent to sanitize between guests.
Rates and minimum night rentals are adjusted for peak times and seasons. Weekly rentals (7 nights or more) get a 10% discount, except in the peak months of June and July . We have a two-night minimum stay, with some exceptions such as Thanksgiving, Players Week, and holidays.
Please note that this is a non-smoking house, and does not allow pets. Also, the house may not be used as a venue for weddings, reunions, or other events hosting those not staying at the house. The person responsible for the rental must be at least 25 years old and staying at the house, and the maximum number of guests allowed is ten. We hope you will consider our house for your family vacation.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Thomas L Turnage jr

Tom Turnage is the owner of the house, was born and raised in Northeast Florida and is in the construction and real estate business. He and his wife, Laura, purchased the house in 2003 as a fixer-upper and have extensively remodeled the house since purchase. They started renting the house in 2004 and use the house for both personal use and as an investment. Tom is very active in the community and was a co-founder of the South Ponte Vedra - Vilano Beach Preservation Association.
Why they chose this property
The beach house is about 45 minutes from Tom's home and office in Jacksonville. He enjoyed surfing in the area growing up, and still loves the private, uncrowded nature of the beach. The house is far enough away from his Jacksonville home to feel like he's gotten away, but is close enough to escape the city even for a single night or just a day on the beach.
What makes this property unique
Peace and Quiet. The house is located between Jacksonville Beach and St. Augustine. It is surrounded by Guana State Park and the closest public beach accesses are almost a mile away. Probably one of the least crowded beaches in Florida. It is a great for those who want to get away from the rat race, but still be close enough that golf courses and good restaurants are a short drive away.
