About this property

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!

Bedroom locations

The bedroom locations were confusing on line. I asked for a layout but there wasn't one available. We had a person with bad knees for climbing stairs, so we wanted a room on the main floor. There were two on the main floor so it turned out to be a good stay. There are no bedrooms with a view, but the house has a beautiful view I would definitely return!!!!!!

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⛱️☀️🙄

Weekend getaway

The house is in a great location-right on the water. We were able to fish and swim. Great views from the deck. Publix was right around the corner and so were other attractions-downtown St.Augustine. The company got right back to me and answered all my questions. The house accommodated our party of 12-both adults and kids. We enjoyed our trip.

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❣️
