Cute Oceanfront House with Almost Private Beach 8 min to Downtown St Augustine

Octagon Blue, two octagons connected together to become one beautiful ocean front home. The entire East side of the home includes floor to ceiling windows facing the ocean. Our guests love the unique and interesting architectural design and large deck and private walkway to the ocean. You should come and experience it yourself. As it's hard to show from the pictures.
It is PERFECT for a Long weekend romantic getaway, weekly or monthly vacation, a honeymoon, 1 to 3 couples, 2 families or even multi generation family reunion for beach vacation of a lifetime! 3 Bedroom, 3 bath, with large Master Suite and nicely furnished. This home was designed for fun. Set on a high dune, you can watch the ocean waves from the Master Bedroom, The kitchen/Dining table, the Kitchen and the living room. The unique design of the beach house takes advantage of every square foot of the property.
Very easy access from the house to the deck from either the main living area or the master suite or from ground level below the elevated house directly from the driveway through your own private access gates. Free High Speed Internet throughout the house. Two HD flat screen TV's with Roku, Netflex, and Prime plus more streaming, etc. We fell in love with Octagon Blue house the first time we saw it, due to its unique Octagon architecture, and incredible views with floor to ceiling windows the entire east side of the house. The master bed room has its own Octagon and is so cute and you must come see for yourself. We know you will fall in love with it just like we did and still do.

Octagon Blue house has 3BR, and 3 baths. We have good quality furnishing - beautiful teak/Rattan bedroom set in master suite, queen, beautiful white king size bedroom set in the 2nd master suite, and adorable white bunk bed in the 3rd bedroom (twin over double with trundle bunk bed). The Master suite has its own private bath, double sink, and oceans views from the large glass walk in shower. Two large dressers for your clothes and a nice size walk in closet. The 2nd bedroom comes complete with King bed, dresser, closet and full bath. The 3rd bathoom located next to the 3rd bedroom and living area. The 3rd bedroom also has a dresser and closet. The 2nd TV is currently located here. The deck is very large and a great place relax in the sun, or enjoy an early or late meal.

The Octagon House has efficient central air and also has ceiling fans located throughout and in each bedroom. A full size washer and Dryer are located in the lower level.

From May 1st thru October is Turtle Season and local and state laws due require that all ocean front homes lower their blinds at sunset and not illuminate their decks at night with white light so as to disturb the Loggerhead Turtle Nesting which occurs all along our beach. We use only approved deck lighting and ask that you respect these rules as we can receive a fine for failure to do so.

We have been renting ocean front property for over 10 years and with great success and with many who come year after year. Once you stay here we are confident you will want to return again and again. We will do everything we can to make your vacation home a fun, relaxing and memorable experience. We hope you enjoy your stay at our personal vacation home, as much as we do.
p.s. The Octagon deck shown in a couple pictures were unfortunately taken away from hurricane so it is no longer there but we have big deck for you to enjoy viewing the ocean.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board. Housekeeping is available on request.

Lovely house

We spent one week in the Blue Octagon. The rooms are well-furnished, with comfortable mattresses and bedding. The bathrooms are modern. The master bedroom overlooks the ocean. Kitchen is well stocked and view is spectacular! We loved the house! 4 of us and one dog. The back deck is a blessing with the gate. It allowed our dog to go on the deck without worry.

Perfect location!

The house is as described and pictured with the modern updates. The kitchen was stocked with all necessities. We appreciated that it had beach chairs and umbrella to use. We loved that it was a quiet area of the beach, walking down the steps off the deck, and feeling almost like we had our own private beach. It was so worth it to not have to cross that busy highway to get on the beach!!If we come back to this area again, would definitely rent this house!

Can’t beat the view!!

Absolutely incredible views and beach access. The beach was quiet - absolutely perfect for a family spring break getaway. Waking up to the sunrise on the water was unforgettable. And the kids and I loved spotting dolphins!Location was very convenient to hit the sights and dinner in St. Augustine. Highly recommend this property for anyone looking for a beautiful beach getaway.

Perfect Beach Vacation

If you are looking for serenity, this is the place. A beach right outside your doors. Non-stop windows facing the water allow you to enjoy the waves inside or a big deck for the full outdoor experience. Kitchen is fully stocked and the beds comfortable. To top it off….it is just minutes from St Augustine. It was the perfect beach vacation.

Great Property

This is the second year in a row that we have rented this property for Spring Break. It is a great value and super unique. Fits our family perfectly. We had a couple of small logistical issues with the property, but Jean was very responsive to meet our needs. Will definitely rent again.

Misleading booking information/exterior cleanliness

Inaccurate descriptions of the property in the listing. The exterior reading nook that is seen in your pictures on the balcony walk way was not there, including we were under the impression the back deck was fairly new and nails/screws wouldn't been protruding out of the wood to catch our feet on. Also the sliding glass door did not lock properly and once closed it is very difficult to reopen from outside. And the other rear door was difficult to open/close and the door lock was rusty making it difficult to lock daily. The deck gate hindge screws are rusted out or loose causing it to drag badly against the deck. Also there were lots of trash, leftover rubbish from the remodel under the deck including nails, gutter trimmings and at the septic clean out there was a used tampon on the ground for the children to find and ask questions about. Interior was nice, the ac was great, the home was very unique and nice. The beach was conveniently in the back yard and secluded with beautiful in home views. But it is very Disturbing, how much debris was there and other mentioned issues considered the cost of the booking. The conditions were not expected considering the estimated value of the home and the current exterior pictures that were seen in the listing. I ntioned everything that I have put here to Owner prior to reviewing and only received an apology and a statement that they would clean property and update photos. they are not interesting in having repeat customers, only i
