Sunrise, Sunset: Spacious 4-bedroom oceanfront home - Sta Vacation Rentals
Looking for a beautiful, impeccably designed, spacious vacation home where young and old can gather? Looking to relax on a tranquil beach with private access and breathtaking views ? Want to wake up in the morning to the sun rising over the Atlantic and then watch it set over a protected wildlife reserve? If you answered “YES” to any of these questions, then search no more. Sta Vacation Rentals presents “Sunrise, Sunset”! Recently renovated with everything brand new, top to bottom, this stunning "coastal modern" home is ready to enjoy.
Nestled on a lush dune overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and across from the Guana Nature Reserve, the house offers a variety of sleeping options with four bedrooms and three full baths, including a charming bunk room adjacent to a media room. The open floor plan of the main level allows guests to mingle in the kitchen and dining areas while still being in the mix with friends and family in the living room. The fully stocked, spacious kitchen offers everything an experienced chef could ask for, all while enjoying the views of the ocean. From stainless steel appliances to rich granite countertops, the kitchen is not only warm and inviting, but very functionally practical, stocked with quality cookware and full dinner sets. And we promise, there will be no shortage of wine glasses (or any glassware for that matter)!
The dining area features a beautiful farmhouse table with seating up to eight. The spacious and bright living area offers plenty of room to lounge and unwind or gather round and binge-watch your favorite show on the large flat-screen TV mounted over the decorative fireplace. From the living room you can access two fantastic outdoor areas. The oceanfront deck is open to the sun and offers a great place to work on your tan or have lunch while watching the dolphins frolic in the ocean. On the south side of the house is the covered, screened porch. This may become your favorite spot at the house! It offers constant shade and cooler temperatures, while still allowing for the sea breeze to pass through. The screens help to keep unwanted pests away while you enjoy your morning coffee or an outdoor dinner. The homeowners got the inspiration to call the house “Sunrise, Sunset” from the changing views enjoyed from this porch!
On the main level of the house, you'll also find a full bath with walk-in shower and two well-proportioned bedrooms: One queen room (with a TV!), ocean-side with French doors that open onto the deck and provide gorgeous ocean views; the other with two full-size beds. Both bedrooms have large closets and dressers offering plenty of room to unpack and settle in. Throughout the house you'll find hotel-quality linens, pillows, and comforters.
The private master suite encompasses the entire top floor and boasts the same, stunning ocean views. The comfy king bed is dressed in soft sheets and a fluffy comforter, inviting you in for a good night’s sleep. Before nodding off, catch up on the latest news or your favorite late night show on the flat screen TV. The en-suite master bathroom features a corner sink with granite countertop, a step-in shower, and a walk-in closet.
Downstairs is the hidden gem of the house. The whole family will love the bunk room! Built with the intention of providing a fun “getaway” in the home, the bunk room features two custom, twin-over-double bunkbeds complete with individual lighting, comfortably sleeping 6 children. While this area will be a hit with groups traveling with their kids, grown-ups will find it just as inviting. Adjacent to the bunks is an attractive media room with plenty of seating. Books and board games can also be found here. The laundry room, a small, full-bath, and the garage can also be found on this level, as well as access to the lower patio. Located under the 2nd floor deck, this area offers yet another shady spot to gather and provides the perfect place to sit and keep the grill-master company while dinner is being prepared.
The private boardwalk leads over the flourishing, natural dune and right down to the beach. At the end of the walkway are a bench and outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Because there are no public access points nearby and driving is not allowed on the beach, it feels like your own private slice of paradise! Of course, if you are visiting during Sea Turtle Season (May through October), you may see the Turtle Patrol on their ATVs, checking for nests. Enjoy long walks on the beach as you search for shells and shark teeth, learn to catch some waves, or try your hand at surf fishing. You are sure to find plenty to do on the beach. Of course, you can always lay out your towel and just relax under the sun.
Located in the northern end of South Ponte Vedra Beach, “Sunrise, Sunset” is just 15 minutes south of posh Ponte Vedra where you will find fine restaurants, boutique shopping, spas, and of course, the famous golf courses at TPC Sawgrass. If sightseeing is in your future, historic St. Augustine is just 20 minutes south. Here you will find countless shops, tours, and eateries. Be sure to visit many of the locally owned businesses that give discounts specifically to our Sta Vacation Rentals guests. Day trips to Orlando, Daytona, and Jacksonville are easy. So, if you are coming in for the Player's Championship, Disney time, Nascar races, or to catch a football game with the Jaguars, "Sunrise, Sunset" is centrally located and a welcome oasis to return to at the end of the day.
“Sunrise, Sunset” is fully stocked with just about anything you might need on your trip. We provide all linens, bath towels, and a starter supply of toiletries and cleaning goods. We have a pac-n-play portable crib, a high-chair, as well as baby gates for the stairs. Smart TVs are in the living room, bunk room, master and queen bedrooms, with access to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. There is a gas grill in the garage and is to be used in the driveway (please do not take it up to the decks), and we provide backup propane for your use. Beach chairs, a beach umbrella and beach towels are also supplied. All you need to do is bring your favorite drinks, a bathing suit, and some sunscreen!

Great house in the most stunning location. The host was really responsive and the house was exactly as pictured. The bunk room in particular was a big hit with the teens! We will definitely be back.
This was amazing stay, the host was extremely helpful, and response time was mere outstanding. The view was wonderful, they had everything to accommodate guests, the right pots, and spices. I would indeed return, the guest book was a nice extra touch.

Thank you, Erin, for your five-star review! We're happy to hear that you and your family had an amazing 8 days and found the house spacious and accommodating. We look forward to welcoming you back for another stay!
it started a little rocky, the hot water went out,staff hung in until problem was solved and stayed in contact with us. Really enjoyed trip and location.
This rental has a wonderful feel and the ocean views are endless. Lots of birds, a few fishing boats, and only a handful of of walkers each day. Perfect spot!

Thank you for your wonderful review, Sandra! We're glad you enjoyed the ocean views and the peaceful atmosphere. It sounds like you had a relaxing stay. We hope to welcome you back soon!
The house was very nice and clean and in a very nice neighborhood. There was a good view of the ocean from the deck. The beach was quiet and private. My only concern was we did not see any smoke detectors.

Thanks so much for your kind words—we’re really happy to hear you enjoyed the house, the peaceful neighborhood, and that ocean view from the deck! That quiet, private beach vibe is one of our favorite things about the place too.
And thank you for bringing up the smoke detectors—we take safety very seriously, and we’ll make sure to double-check that everything is clearly visible and up to standard. We really appreciate you pointing it out.
Would love to have you back anytime!
We were so impressed with the privacy of this rental. We had the beach to ourselves the entire week. The house was perfect for our little family of 8 with adequate beds and living areas. The hosts were prompt with answers to questions and check in/out was seamless.
Behavior analyst company retreat and conference at Marriott
We had a wonderful time relaxing between attending a conference at the Marriott which was nearby. Two of the five ladies have recently joined my company so it was a good environment to relax and get to know each other!
Beautiful property that was great for spending time away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. The sound of the surf, tranquil surroundings and a very well-appointed space made for a wonderful weekend.
We really enjoyed our stay. The home was perfect for our family! The children really enjoyed having their own space downstairs.
We came right after a hurricane and Portoro Beach Rentals were very accommodating and were able to get us in the property. This beach rental has everything you need! We would definitely stay here again.
The location and the beauty of the view was perfect. The side porch with the cover and screen enclosure was perfect since it blocked the wind but we could still enjoy our view. I’d recommend this home
Sunrise-Sunset is a beautiful home. We loved the decor. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The location is great-loved the closeness to the ocean. It exceeded are expectations. Looking forward to another stay at Sunrise-Sunset.

My daughters family stayed at this property during our stay for a wedding in st. Augustine. They really enjoyed the house and location at the beach. Very favorable for the children and access to the beach. Beautiful sunrises! House was clean and well stocked with essential items. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your property. Hope to visit in the future if we are in the area again.
The house was perfect for our family with 5 teenagers and 2 parents. The house was clean and just as listed.
The kids bedrooms were great and allowed for them to hang out and enjoy time with us upstairs.
Access to the beach was amazing. The living area was very comfortable and we had a great time. We’d rent the property again.
Great spot for eight women enjoying a beach weekend. The house is well stocked and has a very open plan with lots of outdoor spaces. Easy communication. We will hopefully return. Thanks
This property was perfect and private for our family get away
We will definitely rent here again! It was so beautiful and the access to the beach couldn’t get any better. We loved how private it felt. We loved all the rooms and decor. The only thing I would recommend are some curtains on the door/windows over looking the beach in the living room. It gets very bright in the mornings when sitting on the couch. Overall, great stay. We have already recommended the property to some friends, and they will be coming next June!
We enjoyed our stay at this house for guys golf weekend. While mother nature didn't cooperate and we were forced to stay indoors, the house provided ample room and space for us to hang out and watch the storm as well as cook nice meals and enjoy the company and conversation. David was very responsive to any and all questions and even assisted us with getting Jags tickets when the sun came out !

This is my first beach front VERBO. Well I can tell you, it won’t be my last. This place lived up to my expectations. Very well appointed with all your comforts to a well stocked kitchen. The open layout allows you to see the ocean while you are cooking in the kitchen. Having your own boardwalk from the deck to the beach…..can’t beat it. Love the location as it is easy to get down to St. Augustine and not to bad getting up to the Jacksonville Airport. Now one warning is to be very careful pulling in or out of the driveway. Cars move fast coming by the property. I will be back.
Overall the house is in a great location in the middle between TPC Sawgrass and St. Augustine. The areas of the home that were recently updated are really nice and if the bathrooms get an update the house will be all the better.. A few minor things for the owner to look into... upstairs shower does not get hot - luke warm at best. The fridge needs a new water filter - could not get water as a result from fridge. The microwave needs a filter. Lastly the air filter and also the one ledge under window in stairway have a bunch of dust - I would clean to make the environment healthier. Aside from the minor issues we had a great time.

Thank you for your input. The photos clearly show the layout of the house and all bathrooms. The water filter was just replaced a few weeks ago. The cleaners advised us that the water lock feature was turned on. A simple hold of the button would have removed the lock. A complete tune up of the ac unit was also completed a few weeks ago including replacement of the air filters. We really want all of our guests to enjoy their stay and encourage them to reach out if they encounter any issues so we can promptly get them resolved.
Sunrise & Sunset offers both. Sunrise while on the beach and Sunset while on the side screen porch! Lovely original home with current styling surrounded by larger rebuilds. Updated kitchen with comfortable FR. Although we're used to larger TV it was fine for our college football-obsessed crew. Other than the view, didn't take advantage of beach though it couldn't be more convenient. But we did indulge in the wonderful sound of the breaking waves! Bedrooms all that we needed (3 couples + 4 twentysomethings) and the bunk room on ground floor very well conceived & cozy, especially for pre-adults (ours are drinking age but, you know, not acting like adults yet). Throughout, you definitely realize it's still a 70s original with some uneven stairs, poor water pressure upstairs, funky shell covered walls but (other than the poor water pressure) that's part of its real charm. The communication with Daphne & David was perfect and we would definitely stay there again in an instant!
The house was the perfect layout for our party. The bunk room was a great hang out for the kids. The private primary suite was fantastic. And far enough from the kids for privacy. The beach access was so quiet and private with stunning views of amazing sunrises. The back deck gave us plenty of room to relax in the evenings. We would definitely stay again!
