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.

The house is in need of a lot of upgrades. They were dead bugs in the floor. The landscaping was so overgrown you could not see to get out of the driveway and was a safety issue. There must be zero insulation in the house because you can hear every single car that goes up and down the road.

Great stay, needs a little love

Great stay with beautiful views. Not the best place for kids 2 and under due to stairs, and unsecured porch (kids can crawl under the bench and fall), but we had two kids under the age of two was not a non issue with good supervision. I would stay here again.

Great view

For the money I can’t complain too much. The freezer has no ice maker but several ice trays and an ice bucket. The house is very close to the road so you get a lot of traffic noise all day and night so bring ear plugs. Adequate pots and pans to cook with as well as dishes. The pillows on the beds are quite thin so you may want to bring your own. Adequate towels for the two of us. The couch is quite disgusting and should have a cover on it that could be washed.

A+ Beach

Yes, we read the reviews! Our expectations were at a moderate level. The house is in need of ALOT of help! I could spend a while picking it apart, but despite all the things that I saw and experienced that I would have to change if it were mine….We loved it! The view of beach, the sound of the waves crashing, the shells, sea glass and sharks teeth were exactly what we wanted and needed! If we ever decide to visit that area again, we’d gladly stay there again. Book it and enjoy!

Cute as a button but…..

Cute as a button and loved the location and coastal motif but there are many safety things that need to be addressed. No outside working lights on Oceanside, decking in poor/dangerous condition, water abnormally hot/scalding. Only one lightbulb working in first bedroom, only two in master bedroom, master toilet has to be pumped after each flush - even itine. We did appreciate having sheets, towels, toilet paper, and starter cleaning products. Overall nice, just wish we could have enjoyed the Oceanside deck. PS: those steps need major attention too.

Lots of Potential, but Lots of Problems

This is my first negative review on VRBO. Woo hoo! The good news is that the back deck is a stone's throw to the Atlantic. The bad news is that the house is poorly maintained and the property manager (Vacasa) was unable or unwilling to address the issues we encountered. A quick breakdown: - the oven never worked - we notified Vacasa on day one and they sent out two repairmen but ultimately never resolved it and never offered a discount our assistance in any way - the refrigerator kept throwing a breaker - we eventually got it working by not using some of the lights -one of the deck chairs was broken and unusable - we requested another several times and never heard from vacasa -contacted vacasa about a broken step but they never addressed it -asked vacasa to relocate us due to the numerous issues but they refused -i really cannot overstate how poorly Vacasa's customer service was - we reached out many times in the first few days and they did next to nothing other than send auto responses swearing our stay was their highest priority...lol In addition, the overall comfort of the beds, the lack of cleanliness and musty, pet smells, etc. made this potentially charming house a bit of a dud. Vacasa's awful customer service made it worse. I would strongly advise not renting from Vacasa properties if possible. So, if you are looking for a cheap, dumpy beach house, it was just that. Honestly, it's a shame because the location is quite magical, but I'll pay extra to avoid Vacasa and to get the basic amenities described in the property posting.
