About this property
A-frame beach house steps from the ocean with deck & central AC
Step back in time with this quiet beachfront getaway in undeveloped South Ponte Vedra Beach. The SeaTurtle Retreat House is a classic Florida a-frame with a nautical-themed open layout and ample room for up to seven guests. Two downstairs bedrooms (one with a queen bed, two twins in the other) sleep up to four guests. The ship-like ambiance includes portholes and skylights for natural lighting. The light and bright upstairs primary bedroom offer ocean views, vaulted ceilings, and a private main bath.
Sip coffee at sunrise on the patio and watch for dancing dolphins, diving pelicans, and even hatching sea turtles. Savor peace and quiet as you stroll along the unspoiled cinnamon sand beach. Spend the day surfing, fishing, sailing or simply unwinding with a great book. Relax and enjoy the rich colors of the evening in the spacious and comfortable living area with floor-to-ceiling windows. Even the kitchen has a clear view of the waves. You'll be minutes from award-winning oceanfront dining, with a spacious open-layout interior and high vaulted ceilings. This home is also adjacent to Guana River State Park. SeaTurtle Retreat is located in the relatively undeveloped Old Florida community of South Ponte Vedra just north of Vilano Beach. St. Augustine and the world-class Sawgrass Golf Resort are just 20 minutes away. Other nearby attractions include Marineland, Castillo de San Marcos, and World Golf Village.
THINGS TO KNOW
No elevator
The couches can be used for twin-size beds for 2 extra guests
