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!

The house was clean, well furnished and had great space for group of 9 ladies to gather around inside and out. It is so convenient (walking distance to Publix and some restaurants) and very easy drive to St George Street and all of the historical sites and attractions. Perfect for days on the beach. Easy access to view and fantastic view from house.

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⛱️☀️🙄

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.

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.

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.

Very pleasant stay

Lovely beach front property, fitted our family group of 4 adults and 4 kiddos well. The weather during our stay was unseasonably cold, but the heating kept the house warm and cozy. Facilities good, some updating required, chipped crockery etc. Only slight observation would be that could the towels be added to the laundry list for washing on checkout, rather than asking the guests to wash them before they leave. This was awkward with an early (10am) checkout.

Great location but needs updating

Very disappointed that they do not provide any beach towels (had to buy some at Publix) and no usable beach chairs ( the ones in garage are totally rusted and not useable without getting rust all over the towels). The dishes in kitchen are chipped and the house needs some updates. The washer and dryer are ancient. It is a great location directly on the beach. I would say that the internet pictures make it look nicer than it actually is.

The home was great and location and view are awesome! We had an amazing stay.A couple notes: the tub stopper in the main floor tub doesn’t work, and some of the furniture could use replacing. Also, the outdoor trash bins were overflowing upon our arrival and were covered with maggots… resulted in a few terribly smelling days of we went out front or in the garage until trash pickup came. I will say, overall it was a great experience.
