BIG Pool Home ~ 4 King En-suite Bedrooms ~ Only a few steps to the Beach!

This four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home with four king beds will comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, so bring the whole family!

Why choose between the beach and a pool? Carpe Diem has both! Swim in your own private, screened-in heated swimming pool or head just 125 hundred steps to the private, friendly beach.

The home contains bed & bath linens, a garden tub, hardwood floors…great care, and attention to detail – it provides a beautiful vacation! We pride ourselves on cleanliness and assure you of an extremely clean and inviting home upon arrival so that you may relax and enjoy your visit! There are a wide variety of amenities, including a Freezer, Microwave, Ice Maker, Oven, Ceiling Fans, Refrigerator, Wi-Fi access, Coffee Maker, Keurig, Cooking Range, Televisions, Cookware, Dish Washer, Utensils, Washer and Dryer, a Wet Bar, and much more.

The house is two levels, with beautiful landscaping outside and wonderfully decorated on the inside!

One hundred twenty-five steps to the beach from an easy path on one side and a 2-minute walk to the Inter-coastal Waterway on the other. This quiet but hip area of Vilano/North Beach is famous for surfing, paddle boarding, fishing, shark teeth hunting, and much more. You can walk, bike, or drive to many great restaurants within minutes. Our comfortable home is a 5-minute drive to the fun & activity-filled oldest town in America, St. Augustine! The Vilano Beach pier is a 2-minute car drive away (or a 40-minute beach walk), where you'll find a Publix Grocery Store and a mini outdoor mall. A local Post Office, Bait & Gear store, a boat rental facility and gas dock, a local pub, and more restaurants near and on the Intercoastal beach are in the same area. It is a 20-minute drive to the home of the PGA at TPC Sawgrass and a 2.5-hour drive to Disney World.

The pool can be heated to a maximum of 84 degrees for an additional $150/week or less. Pool heat must be added to your reservation at least 48 hours before arrival. Please note that we do not heat the pool from Memorial Day through mid-September.

We loved our stay. The house was excellent - so clean. Loved the amount of towels!! We thought the very short walk to the beach was great - so close. The location was perfect - close to everything. We WILL visit again.❤️

Great family house
Great house, great time! The layout of the house — with all the shared spaces on the ground floor and all bedrooms upstairs — was convenient and well thought-out. We had all the room we needed and enjoyed our stay.

Spring break
Contact with the property management was outstanding! They returned my messages super fast. Even though it was in a neighbor hood off the beach it took us less time walking to the beach than if we were in a condo on the beach. Easy crossing A1A to beach walkover. No stairs. Beach is not crowded and is a paradise for finding shells. This house is large so you won't be bumping in to each other. Great time with family.

Daughter's Wedding
We rented this house for my daughter's wedding at tge Lightener Museum. My parents and my sisters joined us. The house was perfect with every bedroom having it's own bathroom. The pool was also a hut with my niece and nephews. Would absolutely stay again.

Beware before you book this property!
We selected this property over several others because it was spacious, we had 8 guests, some were not couples. We also liked the fact that it had a pool and beach access and parking. We planned to spend several days enjoying the beach. This did not happen, we had to drive to a different beach. Much to our disappointment, this property has several misleading items in the listing. Beach access is a joke. You must side step down a sand slope of about 10 feet or climb multiple stairs over A1A carrying beach supplies, your wagon and ice chests, it was a nightmare! The pool is tiny with sand debris. The bed rooms were all ok with the exception of the pull out sofa beds. You will be sleeping on springs and no sheets to fit. One bedroom had the carpet tacks exposed at the bathroom doorway. One guest cut her foot entering. We placed a throw rug over the tacks to prevent future injuries. Roaches and spiders where throughout the house. Spray service did spray, but to no avail. Fan & lights were broken. The master bathroom had mold in the grout lines, we were told that the grout was discolored. The garage had a strong mildew smell. We attempted to air it out. The a/c was out for 2 nights with temperatures reaching 88, it was unbearable. Many amenities are misleading. Just beware, read all the reviews, the property is not well managed or maintained. These issues were not addressed during our stay. As well as others. We were not offered comp for even 1 night. Very dissatisfied!

Trip to St Augustine
Property was great! We were there for a friends wedding. Shared the house with another family. Plenty of room. Layout of house was great and met our needs. Loved the location. Short walk to beach and about 10-15 minutes to downtown St Augustine.
