Family friendly beach house near St Augustine.

4 Bedroom, 3.5 Bath with ocean views and private beach access.
Welcome to "Serenity by the Sea"! The moment you walk in the front door you will know that you are about to enjoy a relaxing vacation like no other. The rich, warm wood floors invite you in and the endless views of the Atlantic Ocean will soothe your soul immediately! Elevated high above the dune, Serenity by the Sea offers ocean views from just about every room in the house. The main living area is on the downstairs level. Here, you will find an open living room/kitchen area. The living room features a sofa and two comfy chairs for gathering. There is a flat screen TV mounted on the wall above a decorative (non-functioning) fireplace. The kitchen is a chef's delight. The gas stove is stainless steel with a double oven, and overhead vent. The beautiful counter-tops are marble and stone. The kitchen is stocked with all of the pots, pans, and other items needed to make your favorite meals, all while enjoying the beautiful views of the beach. There is also a side-by-side refrigerator with ice and water dispenser. The dining area is off of the kitchen and overlooks the beach. There is a door that leads out to the ocean front deck, where you'll find a gas grill (propane provided), for those days you feel like throwing some burgers on!

There are two main bedroom suites downstairs. The first one is ocean front and has a king bed, private bathroom, TV, and a sitting area. The bathroom features a walk-in shower and two pedestal sinks. The 2nd bedroom has a queen bed, full bathroom, TV, and a sitting area. It also has a small desk, perfect for setting up a laptop computer. This bathroom also has a large walk-in shower and a pedestal sink.

There are two more bedrooms upstairs. These bedrooms are designed with kids, teens, or single adults in mind. The 3rd bedroom has two twin beds, TV, and a walk-in closet. The 4th bedroom has a twin-over-double bunk bed and a TV. These two bedrooms share a full bathroom which has a walk-in shower.

You will find plenty of room on our large ocean side balcony. Located on the first floor, the balcony spans the width of the house and has plenty of room for lying out in the sun. There is also table seating on the deck for those early morning cups of coffee, or lunch by ocean.

We have a double garage and a semi-circular driveway, offering parking for up to 5 cars. We can accomodate up to 8 guests, plus a baby in the crib. We also have a high chair and booster seat for the little ones. We provide all of the linens, beach and bath towels, beach chairs, and starter sets of bath soaps and toiletries.

While you may decide that you never want to leave the beach, we do encourage our guests to explore nearby, historic St. Augustine. Here you will find countless shops, sight seeing, and some fabulous restaurants. We also have a few wonderful, waterfront restaurants right here in S. Ponte Vedra Beach. Some of our favorites are Caps on the Water, The Reef, and Aunt Kate's. We are sure that you will find some favorites of your own. If there are any avid golfers in your group, bring your clubs. There are plenty of challenging golf courses in the area. Making day trips to Orlando and Jacksonville is easy. Orlando is just under 2 hours away and downtown Jacksonville is 45 minutes. If flying into town, Jacksonville International Airport (JAX) is just an hour away.

Thank you for taking the time to check out our beach house, "Serenity by the Sea". We hope that you will choose it for your vacation home, and quite possibly the place that you will want to come back to time and time again.
