Oceanfront House with Private Beach, Patio, and Gameroom

Thanks for your interest in our direct-oceanfront beach house. Since 2003 we have been providing great experiences for our guests, and this year is no exception. 2024 marks our 21st rental season on VRBO, and we have received over 200 perfect reviews. The house has four bedrooms, and with the fold out couch, can accommodate up to ten people.

Although we are only a few minutes away from Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach, we are on one of the most isolated beaches in Florida, which makes it perfect for an uncrowded, family vacation. The house is bordered north and south by single family, oceanfront homes, and on the west by a huge, uninhabited nature preserve. Just a few steps to the east is the Atlantic Ocean, with beautiful sunrises and the sound of endless waves. The closest public accesses are nearly a mile in either direction, and with no motorized vehicles allowed, you'll only see walkers looking for shells and sharks' teeth.

This is a roomy, comfortable, two-story home with four bedrooms (king, king, queen, and twins) and three full bathrooms. Three bedrooms, with King, Queen and Twin beds and two bathrooms are located upstairs; the other King bedroom and bath, along with a large game room which has a sofa-bed, are located downstairs. The two floors and two common areas provide a lot of separation, which can be nice with even the closest of families (i.e. teenagers vs. adults, or working vs. relaxing). It is perfect for the extended family, and can handle multiple generations with ease.

Outside, it's only a few steps to the beach. There are plenty of chairs, a fenced in courtyard with gas grille, outside hot/cold showers and covered area for some shade. Just a great beach location! The fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room, playroom, downstairs and upstairs master bedrooms overlook the Atlantic Ocean; and comfortable first and second floor decks overlooking the ocean can give guests a breathtaking view of the sunrise over the water. Perfect for sitting in the shade and watching the activities on the beach below.

The house is strategically located midway between prestigious Ponte Vedra Beach and historic St. Augustine, which offer fine and casual dining, shopping, and recreation for all. The City of Jacksonville is less than an hour away, offering big time sports, entertainment and world class medical facilities, including the Mayo Clinic and M.D. Anderson Cancer Center.

If you have read our 200+ reviews, you already know that we maintain the house to a high standard of cleanliness, and after Covid, we are even more diligent to sanitize between guests. Our fully equipped kitchen will allow you to prepare your own meals, save a bunch of money over restaurants, and stay as isolated as you desire.

Rates and minimum night rentals are adjusted for peak times and seasons. Weekly rentals (7 nights or more) get a 10% discount except during the summer months of June and July, when we require a Saturday-to-Saturday weekly rental. We have a two-night minimum stay during the rest of the year, with some exceptions such as Thanksgiving.

Please note that this is a non-smoking house, and does not allow pets. Also, the house may not be used as a venue for weddings, reunions, or other events hosting those not staying at the house. The person responsible for the rental must be at least 25 years old and staying at the house, and the maximum number of guests allowed is ten. We hope you will consider our house for your family vacation.

Great location on the beachfront and perfect for a single family vacation. We stayed in September and the weather and water was a great temperature to be outside all day long. Recommend this spot.

Wonderful Family Retreat
Our family (6 adults; 4 kids) had an unbelievable stay at Tom’s property. The beach is secluded and the house is as close to the water as you can possibly get. The amenities in the house were great as we were able to split families between the upstairs and downstairs. We all loved the pool table and the outdoor shower, which made our evenings chill. The homeowner was awesome and attended to all our needs. Can’t wait to stay again!

Location, location, location
The location was beyond expectations. We were there for Memorial Day week and there were never more than fifty people within eyesight up and down the beach. Many times there were no people within eyesight. The house is literally ten steps from the beach. The only negative is that the house was not clean. Granted I am a type a person, but when my type b teenage daughter says it’s not clean then it needs a deep clean. The homeowner went above and beyond to make our stay nice. He checked on us to make sure we got there and during our stay. He also had the house stocked with all of the basics, like paper products, body soap, clothes soap, cleaning products. Overall this was one of our families best trips!

Dreaming of another vacation at this beach house
The house was spectacular. The host is wonderful. The views…the convenience…the everything. Enjoying the sunrise over the ocean while drinking a cup of coffee on the deck was so spectacular. As a mom with special needs kiddos, it was a treat to allow them to sleep in and know they were safe while I got “me” moments like this. When they woke, they enjoyed the quick walk down to the beach. If anyone had a melt down, it was a quick walk up to the house to get snacks, wash off with the outside shower and enjoy the house. This was a blessing to our family and we are thankful for this time away together in this beautiful beach house.

Great house in a spectacular location!
This is a very nice well equipped and comfortable home right on the beach. It was a perfect four day stay for six adults and a toddler. The lower level with kitchen, bathroom, and laundry is great for a young family. We had a fabulous time in the North Guana Preserve, the beach and exploring St. Augustine. The check-in process was simple and the owner readily available. We had a chance to meet and chat with owner. A great guy who clearly takes pride in the property and area. We highly recommend a stay at this home for anyone visiting the area!

Lovely, Spacious House on the Beach that Feels like Home! The Beach is Your Backyard!
Ours was a short stay (unfortunately) prior to a Jaguars game, but it was lovely! We had everything we needed! Two levels facing the beach (ground and a wrap-around deck) provided maximum beach enjoyment. There are TVs everywhere in this house! Plenty of towels. Multiple restrooms. Games. Books. Lots of privacy. There's an outdoor shower for rinsing off sand. There's a kitchen with plenty of utensils. We cooked all but one of our meals, saving lots of money. Best of all, the place feels like a home; there's a warmth about it that we all enjoyed. Tom is an excellent host, very communicative, and is close by in case his guests need anything. I highly recommend renting Tom's place and we would definitely stay here again!

Amazing place and great host
This property was great and the host was amazing. I HIGHLY recommend this house to anyone that is looking for BEACH FRONT, real beachfront, not across the street "beach Front" or you can see the beach from the rooftop, so it's "beach front"! The backyard is literally the BEACH! My family and I will defiantly be visiting here again in the future on many vacations to come. The owner was so helpful and communicated well. All the information that is provided on the house and area was very in depth. There is literally nothing bad I can say about this place. Highly recommend.

Superb Beachfront Hospitality
This home has an ideal location literally a very few step from the beach which makes “coming and going” very convenient. The property is well stocked with basic needs, ample shower towels and ample paper products. The layout of the house is wonderful with multiple sitting areas and several tables for dining or game playing. My wife and I enjoyed the downstairs bedroom and shared the downstairs with a 13 year old grandson (he used sofa bed). The upstairs belonged to our two kids and the rest of the grandkids…worked well for everyone. The owners know how to execute hospitality and are close to perfect as hosts. Their communications were clear and helpful, ranging from emails and texts to a welcoming booklet. When we checked in the house was not only very clean and well stocked with linens and paper goods, but the oceanfront windows were freshly cleaned and the outside furniture had been wiped down. Almost impossible to ask for more. Please hold off booking your reservation until my family can schedule our return trip! 😏
