Luxury Villa with heated pool, spa/hot tub, dock, near beach, Sunsets!

Better than the beach! Thats what our guests tell us. This property is for the family that wants the best of what St. Augustine has to offer.

Buena Vista is a beautiful, newly renovated luxury house directly on the Intracoastal Waterway across from downtown St. Augustine. 3 king bedrooms, two with attached bathrooms. The fourth bedroom has two bunk beds, for 4 kids or adults. The fifth has a day bed-twin bed with twin trundle. There are 3 full baths and 2 half baths. Completely renovated in 2018, this house is beautifully finished, with new beds, new furniture,new everything. The kitchen will wow you. Brand new modern cabinets,top of the line Jenn-Air appliances, built in 42" refrigerator, 6 burner range, and equipment for the gourmet chef. The covered veranda overlooks the Matanzas River, with the sailboat fleet directly in front and the ancient city skyline behind it. The picturesque Bridge of Lions twinkles in the evening, just a few hundred yards upriver. 5 minutes to downtown, 5 minutes to the beach, 5 minutes to everything. This is the best location in St. Augustine.
Bring your boat or fish right off the dock-the fishing in the Matanzas is excellent-the Atlantic is only a mile through the inlet.
Just 1 mile from Anastasia State Park- one of the 'worlds best beaches", with boat rentals, kids playground, snack bar, restrooms, plenty of parking.

Sip cocktails on the veranda , or in the spa as the tour boats pass in the river, the sun sets over the water, or as the City lights up in the evening. The views are spectacular. You will never tire of them.

The pool and spa are heated for year-round use. 4 bikes and 2 double kayaks are provided. We also have fishing poles for guest use.

This is a very special property that will provide your family with memories of a lifetime.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed. We have over 15 years experience with 99% 5 star reviews in seven properties. This is our finest achievement in luxury rentals.

Awesome House

We had an amazing time at this house. We spent a lot of time in the pool and hot tub overlooking the water. The paddle board and Kayak were huge hits and the guys loved fishing off the dock in the evenings.We got to see dolphins, turtles and we even saw a shark a couple of days.The house has absolutely everything you can think of for cooking, baking, Grilling or whatever Awesome location! I would definitely book this home again.

So much potential, upkeep needed

This home is in a wonderful location- quiet neighborhood, beautiful views of the water and downtown St. Augustine, great space for extended families. The pool was perfect. The disappointment comes with the lack of upkeep. We had a leaky roof, broken bunk beds which made it so kids couldn’t even sleep on them for the majority of the week. One of our days was interrupted by visits from the handy man and roofers. It was clear that the roof issues were known prior to our stay, as there was a tarp on the roof upon our arrival. The property manager was excellent and communicated promptly upon sharing the issues we experienced. Our second to last morning began with roofers on the roof, loudly making repairs and woke the entire house before 7:30am. It also resulted in debris landing around the pool deck while we were trying to enjoy the pool, on our last full day. Sadly, these issues that disrupted our stay were disappointing and mostly because it was clear the issues existed prior and were not properly addressed. With some care and maintenance, this property could be amazing.

Great location and house for family reunion

Our group was 7 adults and 3 younger children. Home was clean. The layout of this home was really very nice as it had enough beds for everyone. We likely could have been able to accomodate a few more people and still be comfortable. The home was spacious for our group. The main floor layout was great place to congregate as there are several gathering places to sit and talk/vistit with one another. The living room/family room is very comfortable with large coffee table tow couches and a few chairs. Also large kitchen table which accomodated our whole group and nightly card games. We stayed over Christmas week which was cooler and overcast so we did not use pool. However we used the HotTub and Grill and they were enjoyed by everyone. The yard (both front and back) was used a few times by us to play bean bag toss game which was supplied by owner. The view looking west at the city was excellent. Sunsets would be great feature but most all our visit the weather was cloudy and overcast in 60s. Lots of wildlife (Pelicans, Dolphins) daily hunting for fish. Easy drive over to downtown, but watch for traffic as this bridge going into city can back depending on the week you go. The kitchen was very well equipped to prepare meals. A Keaurig coffee maker was avaialble as well as another drip coffee maker. We used both. Dave (the Owner) and Leah (the Manager) were both very easy to work with and responsive to any issues we encountered.

Another great stay

This was our 4th year staying in this beautiful and well appointed home right across from downtown St Augustine. The home is comfortable and spacious and is very accurately represented in the listing. The bedrooms are big and comfortable, and the bathrooms are as well. The living space is charming with numerous areas to congregate. The kitchen has everything you will ever need to entertain. But by far the biggest selling point is the huge back porch and the view across the water to downtown. It's a great spot, has to be one of the best on the river. Hope to have a chance to return again. St. Augustine has really come into its own over the last decade with many new bars, restaurants and tours to enjoy.

Another wonderful stay!

My family of 8 had another wonderful stay at Buena Vista in late October. This was our second visit to this beautiful property and we loved every minute of it! We enjoyed the pool, bicycles and fishing off the dock. The dolphins and manatees were regular visitors. The home is very spacious and comfortable so that, even with a big group, it doesn’t feel as if we’re living on top of each other. Can’t wait for our next visit!

The house is absolutely beautiful and the hosts have paid great attention to stocking it with everything you could need. The house is large enough for everyone to have their space but comfortable enough to feel like you’re home. The pool, hot tub, covered porch, other amenities and gorgeous sunsets filled our days with fun and happiness. The beds were incredibly comfortable so we all went home rested and recharged. We had a few issues during our stay but they were promptly dealt with by the property manager. We loved every minute of our stay and are already talking about when we might return.
