About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
South Ponte Vedra Oceanfront Estate
Note: Our beach house is a single-family oceanfront home that we offer in multiple listing configurations (3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, or the entire house). These listings all refer to the same property and are simply different booking options designed to accommodate groups of varying sizes and budgets. This approach allows smaller groups to enjoy the home at a lower price point while still giving larger groups the option to reserve the full property. Only one reservation is accepted at a time, and the home is never shared between separate guest groups.
Our beach house is a private 6-bedroom oceanfront home designed for relaxing coastal stays with family and friends. Located directly on the sand, the home offers unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views, private beach access, and spacious indoor-outdoor living areas so guests can fully enjoy the natural beauty of South Ponte Vedra Beach.
The home features six comfortable bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, providing privacy and convenience for groups traveling together. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook meals at home, while the open living and dining areas offer plenty of space to gather, relax, and enjoy the ocean views. Large windows throughout the home bring in natural light and the calming sights and sounds of the beach.
Step outside to enjoy multiple outdoor spaces including an oceanfront balcony and a large rooftop patio—perfect for morning coffee at sunrise, evening drinks with ocean breezes, or stargazing at night. With direct beach access just steps away, guests can easily walk down to the sand for swimming, fishing, shell hunting, or long peaceful beach walks.
The home is located in South Ponte Vedra Beach, a quiet stretch of Florida coastline known for its wide natural beaches, dolphin sightings, and relaxed atmosphere. Despite the peaceful setting, you're still conveniently close to the best of the area:
15 minutes to Historic St. Augustine – explore centuries-old architecture, restaurants, and attractions like the Castillo de San Marcos
15 minutes to Ponte Vedra Beach – golf courses, shopping, and dining
25 minutes to Jacksonville – sports events, concerts, and city amenities
Easy access to Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing
Guests who book the 6-bedroom listing receive exclusive use of the entire home during their stay. The property is never shared with other groups, ensuring privacy and a true oceanfront retreat experience.
Whether you're planning a family beach vacation, couples’ getaway, or relaxing coastal escape, this oceanfront home offers the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and breathtaking views.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 7 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 6 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Perfect house for our family reunion
We loved getting to stay at this house for our family reunion. The house was beautiful, although there were some areas that could use some cosmetic fixes. But overall they didn’t affect our trip! Being on the beach was amazing! And the property manager was great to work with and had extremely great communication!

Nothing but good things to say about the property and the host. We had our wedding on the rooftop with about 75 of our closest friends and family, and it was beautiful.The host worked with us every time we reached out with questions to help ensure our day and our stay was perfect.

Great location for family gatherings
Our group ranged in age from 1 to 80 years and everyone had a great time. The owner was very accommodating with high chair, air mattress, and other items that helped us have a smooth stay. The beach outside the door was quiet and easily accessible for all. Comfy beds helped us sleep well. While not luxuriously furnished, the space was comfortable and provided what we needed for an enjoyable gathering.

Destination wedding
My daughter wanted a beach wedding so we rented this property and it was perfect! Having 7 bedrooms was great! All had their own bathroom or shared bathroom, very nice!! My favorite part of the house was the kitchen and eating area. It was wonderful! Very roomy, easy to have a lot of people in the kitchen working and talking and not feeling crowded. The beach out front was really nice and there were a ton of folding chairs to take out to the beach and sit up on the 3rd floor deck. We had a fantastic time and the wedding was beautiful. We had a lot of flowers and floating candles for decorations and it was just amazing. Francis was a great host and was in contact with us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Cuz
I Have rented about 12 house this year !!
and was never this disappointed befoer.
We booked the house that was online that we fell in love with in January 2024
3 weeks before our trip the house pic changed, the house changed, we rented the house next door, when my family realized that the house changed, and with 3 weeks before our trip we couldn’t find another house so we had to take the house that was given to us, once we were there we spoke with the tenants at the house next door that we booked, and they told us that they had just booked the house 3 weeks ago, the owner when I spoke to him he said they booked the house a day before we did in January that’s # 1
# 2 when we got to the house there wer dead bugs all around on the floors # 3 the beds were deadly & inches off the floors all the beds in all 7 bedrooms with mattress 10 inches thick # 4 the sliding door wouldn’t lock at all # 5 very strong paint odor in the house really strong. I would never ever stay there again never
the owner said this house was lager not !!
do your homework really good make sure you are getting what you paid for, this was just a terrible stay all around. on a scale of 1 - 10 I rate this house # 2

Beach House
First time staying in an oceanfront beach house, semi private beach it was awesome. we all love the beach, but the two-year-old loved it the most, she could run flipping in the sand throw a little sand, and there was no one near to fuss.
Right outside our window we saw dolphins in the morning and evening playing in the ocean.. One evening when we were sitting on the beach After dark about 930 a sea turtle came up on the beach. At first it freaked us out because we wasn’t expecting a sea turtle. After talking with the young lady who comes through every morning, checking all the sea turtle nest. She said it’s very rare to see a sea turtle come up on the beach.
And do I need to go on about the historic Saint Augustine? It is a beautiful city. We definitely want to come back. Francis was a great host. He addressed any concerns we had immediately.
We all loved the Saint Augustine Beach House experience.

Exceptional property
As we were the first party to rent this exceptional property we weren't sure what to expect. We were totally pleased with the home and the ease of beach access. The view from the dining room was like being on a cruise. You have to see this to believe the view. As important was the access to the owner which was phenomenal and the best we have experienced. We will request this property again next year for our family reunion.
