Excellent Location ~ Direct Oceanfront Home ~ Sleeps 12!

Watch the dolphins play in the surf from this spacious 5-bedroom, three-bath home in the quiet neighborhood of Porpoise Point. With the beach right in your backyard, you will find this vacation spot to be your home away from home! The large and inviting living and dining areas open onto a roomy oceanfront deck with various seating options to soak up the sun, take in the panoramic views, and enjoy the ocean breeze. And you don't need to leave the views behind inside. The house features a fully stocked kitchen that also includes a blender, stainless appliances, granite countertops, and bar counter seating for five that is open to a large dining table that seats 8, giving you a variety of indoor and outdoor choices for your morning coffee or a great family meal.

When it is time to feel the sand between your toes, a quick stroll through the backyard takes you to a private boardwalk leading you to miles of beach in seconds. The beautiful, pet-friendly beach at Porpoise Point is excellent for all your favorite beach activities, whether swimming, surfing, fishing, or building the sandcastle of your dreams. Plus, if a little more seclusion is what you are seeking, a short walk to the tucked-away inlet beach with its expansive views of Historic St. Augustine is the perfect destination.

Back inside the home, the third-floor master bedroom provides a spacious retreat with a king bed, a private bathroom, plenty of closet space, and a private terrace that looks over the front of the property. Just outside the master bedroom is a large relaxing loft area with a gaming table and a queen sofa sleeper overlooking the living area and the fabulous ocean views! The views from the loft will take your breath away!

The remaining four bedrooms are on the 2nd and 1st floors. They include two bedrooms with queen beds on the second floor next to a large bathroom, a king bedroom, and an adjacent bedroom with two twin beds on the first floor next to a guest bath. The house will comfortably sleep ten guests, and there is a sleeper sofa with room for two more. There is parking in the driveway for two cars, plus a 2-car garage you can access.

When it’s time to take a break from the beach, take a stroll down Vilano Road, and you will find a full-service grocery store (Publix), liquor store, surf shop, and several restaurants. If you continue down Vilano Road, you will find yourself at the Vilano Pier. Here, you can do some Intracoastal fishing, enjoy the fantastic sunsets, or take in the views of Historic St. Augustine, which lies minutes away just over the Vilano Bridge. In St. Augustine, America’s Oldest City, you will find countless restaurants, shopping, attractions, and more. For a change of scenery, a variety of state parks and nature preserves are just minutes away, offering excellent fishing, paddling, and wildlife viewing, as well as miles of scenic trails for hiking and horseback riding, and the home is just a short drive away from world-class golf, including the world-famous TPC Sawgrass! What can we say? This location has it all! So whether your vacation includes antiquing, water sports, nature, golf, or just working on your tan at the beach, you will find it all here! Do not delay; call today to book "Ocean Sunrise" for your next beach vacation!

Great Location- Needs upgrades

The location was great and has a beautiful view. The property needs some TLC as one if the canned lights in the kitchen is pulling away from the ceiling and when turned on flashes. The kitchen cabinets were worn and there were only 4 bowls for our party of 11. (9 adults 2 children) back rooms were hot and internet spotty. No shampoo, conditioner or hand soap provided. Sand was found in the sheets of the bedrooms.

Peaceful

12 adults and 1 child worked out well. Heads up: dining room table has 6 chairs, kitchen counter has 3 stools. We were able to take chairs from the lift for our meals. The stars at night and sounds of the ocean were very peaceful. Close to grocery store.

FABULOUS ESCAPE😎

This is our third time in a year that we have stayed at this fabulous oceanfront property! Directly on the beach with easy access. It was a family getaway. Everyone had their private space and yet we had a nice large area together for meals, games and cards. We will definitely be back in the spring⛱️☀️🙄

Everything about the property is perfect, close to the beach, wonderful deck! Great communication with the property manager. This is a fun place for a family to hang out and enjoy everything that Vilano and Augustine have to offer. Make sure you bring your own beach towels😊

A beautiful location

We stayed with a few family members! Everything about our stay, was fabulous from the views of the ocean to the cleanliness of the property to the access of the beach😎 We are originally from Central Florida but we love Saint Augustine because it has so much to offer. We will be back to this property in September❣️

We loved the location. This place is tucked away in a quite neighborhood with little to no traffic. It’s half a mile away from Publix and two restaurants. Just a short drive to the historic district. We would definitely stay here again.

Cozy but dated

The house was conveniently located to the beach and the areas we were going to visit. The wonderful views from the second and third floors were of the beach. The rooms on all three floors allows for extra privacy but the top floor can get very warm if the thermostat is set to comfortable for the second floor. The outside deck table and chairs are perfect for beach watching and are very sturdy.

Dream House

Really nice set up for friends and family to travel together. Great layout of bedrooms, bathrooms and common areas and it was well stocked with respect to the kitchen and linens. Loved the easy access to a gorgeous beach and nice views of the ocean from inside the house and the spacious balcony/deck.

Awesome property, great location

My kids and I have become connoisseurs of St Augustine VRBO rentals because my sister lives there and we visit frequently. We unanimously voted this the best one we have stayed in. Gorgeous house, fantastic oceanfront views. The upstairs loft is a super cool hangout area the kids loved. Spotlessly clean. I will definitely be staying here again if I can get it!

Lovely deck with easy beach access. Grocery store and restaurants close by. Garage wouldn’t open with code and I spoke to property manager who said to open from inside the house. Per friendly neighbor, recycling pickup is same day as trash pick up.

Family Memories

Excellent location!! The kitchen was well-appointed and plenty of room for everyone. We had a wonderful time! Made some lovely family memories! However, when we arrived, the door in front of the dryer was off its track and the handle to the glass door of the shower downstairs was broken. Only gave a 3 star for cleanliness of the home.

Spring Break Reset

We had seven family members staying at the property. Overall we had a lovely trip. The location and view from the house were above our expectations! The house was clean and neat. A few housekeeping updates that need to happen are: the carpet upstairs (this is a must)! It would be helpful if you could make one bathroom ADA-compliant for older guests or at least have one raised toilet. Also, the ice maker is on the blink in the kitchen. However, again, We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!
