About this property

Cute Oceanfront House with Almost Private Beach 8 min to Downtown St Augustine

Octagon Blue, two octagons connected together to become one beautiful ocean front home. The entire East side of the home includes floor to ceiling windows facing the ocean. Our guests love the unique and interesting architectural design and large deck and private walkway to the ocean. You should come and experience it yourself. As it's hard to show from the pictures.
It is PERFECT for a Long weekend romantic getaway, weekly or monthly vacation, a honeymoon, 1 to 3 couples, 2 families or even multi generation family reunion for beach vacation of a lifetime! 3 Bedroom, 3 bath, with large Master Suite and nicely furnished. This home was designed for fun. Set on a high dune, you can watch the ocean waves from the Master Bedroom, The kitchen/Dining table, the Kitchen and the living room. The unique design of the beach house takes advantage of every square foot of the property.
Very easy access from the house to the deck from either the main living area or the master suite or from ground level below the elevated house directly from the driveway through your own private access gates. Free High Speed Internet throughout the house. Two HD flat screen TV's with Roku, Netflex, and Prime plus more streaming, etc. We fell in love with Octagon Blue house the first time we saw it, due to its unique Octagon architecture, and incredible views with floor to ceiling windows the entire east side of the house. The master bed room has its own Octagon and is so cute and you must come see for yourself. We know you will fall in love with it just like we did and still do.

Octagon Blue house has 3BR, and 3 baths. We have good quality furnishing - beautiful teak/Rattan bedroom set in master suite, queen, beautiful white king size bedroom set in the 2nd master suite, and adorable white bunk bed in the 3rd bedroom (twin over double with trundle bunk bed). The Master suite has its own private bath, double sink, and oceans views from the large glass walk in shower. Two large dressers for your clothes and a nice size walk in closet. The 2nd bedroom comes complete with King bed, dresser, closet and full bath. The 3rd bathoom located next to the 3rd bedroom and living area. The 3rd bedroom also has a dresser and closet. The 2nd TV is currently located here. The deck is very large and a great place relax in the sun, or enjoy an early or late meal.

The Octagon House has efficient central air and also has ceiling fans located throughout and in each bedroom. A full size washer and Dryer are located in the lower level.

From May 1st thru October is Turtle Season and local and state laws due require that all ocean front homes lower their blinds at sunset and not illuminate their decks at night with white light so as to disturb the Loggerhead Turtle Nesting which occurs all along our beach. We use only approved deck lighting and ask that you respect these rules as we can receive a fine for failure to do so.

We have been renting ocean front property for over 10 years and with great success and with many who come year after year. Once you stay here we are confident you will want to return again and again. We will do everything we can to make your vacation home a fun, relaxing and memorable experience. We hope you enjoy your stay at our personal vacation home, as much as we do.
p.s. The Octagon deck shown in a couple pictures were unfortunately taken away from hurricane so it is no longer there but we have big deck for you to enjoy viewing the ocean.

Perfect location!

The house is as described and pictured with the modern updates. The kitchen was stocked with all necessities. We appreciated that it had beach chairs and umbrella to use. We loved that it was a quiet area of the beach, walking down the steps off the deck, and feeling almost like we had our own private beach. It was so worth it to not have to cross that busy highway to get on the beach!!If we come back to this area again, would definitely rent this house!

Unique and Perfect!

My wife and I stayed at this amazing property for a our anniversary in September 2024. Such a unique beach house with sweeping ocean views. The home itself is laid out perfectly and was stocked with everything we needed. We spent the majority of the trip sitting on the huge back patio and walking our pup along the wide, lovely beach. Great location just outside the congestion of downtown, but still within a short drive. My wife and I love unique properties and this one did not disappoint...in a great way! We definitely plan on coming back!

Great location and gorgeous views of the ocean from just about every room of the house! Easy access to an almost secluded beach. Listing is a bit misleading - washer and dryer on “lower level” is actually a closet outside. To access, you will need to go down the steep front steps or down the deck in back. It was a bit challenging during inclement weather and at night. Few issues during stay but owner was very responsive.

First time seeing turtle tracks

Beach is secluded and beautiful. Back to the natural Florida, and we woke up to the turtle patrol, with two nests right near the house. The house was perfect for our daughters and the grand dog. He loved walking the beach at sunrise.

Perfect Getaway

My family and I stayed at Octagon Blue for a few days over the New Year. The home was inviting, clean, and fully stocked with everything we could have needed during our stay. Communication with the owner was seamless - even after our stay when my son realized he had left something behind. The location is perfect for those wanting to be on an almost-private beach. We stayed with our dog who fully enjoyed running on the beach.

A touch of whimsy

Clean, tidy, whimsical, well stocked, gorgeous view getaway. You can’t get any closer to the ocean. If you require glamour or fresh paint job, carpeting, or a welcome package from your hosts, this isn’t for you. Bathrooms, kitchen are very nice. We very much enjoyed our stay.

A true on-the-beach beachhouse!

We were looking for a nice, seaside getaway down in Florida to enjoy the ocean, and soak up some rays. Fortunately for us, we found Octagon Blue in S. Ponte Vedra Beach which literally exceeded all of our expectations. The ocean views were spectacular as the house is literally on the top of the dunes!! The house was clean and well-appointed, and when we did manage to pull ourselves away from the beach, we were only 12 minutes from all of the restaurants in downtown St. Augustine! Jean was a terrific host - our only regret was that our vacation was too short! I highly recommend this sweet beach-top house for anyone looking to get away from it all!

Great Location - beautiful bedroom suite

The location is unbeatable. Right on the beach with so much privacy. The porch is large but no place to sit when it rains. The porch furniture could use an update. The kitchen is roomy but could use lots of updates. The living room is very small. The owner is very nice and responsive. The laundry room is the basement accessible only from the outside. We did enjoy our stay very much.

Unique and Affordable

Affordable stay on gorgeous beach for our family of 7! Everything we needed for a relaxing week. Incredible, nearly empty beach right out the back door. Although a bit cool while we were there, we still combed the beach regularly, finding many large shells and shark teeth. Three well stocked bathrooms were especially nice for our larger family, and bed setup worked out perfect. Easy drive to St Augustine, although, as other reviews pointed out, there is a lot of fast traffic, and the shrubs south of the property could be trimmed back to make getting out a little easier. Also, not a big problem for us, but the washer and dryer are on ground floor, requiring you to go outside to accesses. Considering most properties on this beach are being rebuilt as mansions, it's nice having these smaller, more affordable properties still available to rent. Thanks for sharing your home!

Wonderful home in the Perfect location!

We had a wonderful 10 days at the Blue Octagon. You will not find a better location for a beach vacation. The home is directly on the beach, which is essentially private with the occasional walker passing through. The 3bed/3bath setup is great for families or couples. The kitchen in nicely renovated and spacious. The dining area fit 6-8 easily. The living room area is a little small, but we didn’t spend much time all gathered there anyway, so it wasn’t a significant issue. The house was well stocked and had beach chairs, umbrellas, towels and toys. Only a 5 min drive to Publix, if you need anything and a 20 min drive to downtown St. Augustine. Go to St. Augustine beach and eat at Sunset Grille! It was so delicious! There are lots of stairs from the house to the beach, so be aware if you’ve got people who would have a hard time with those. There is no other way to access the beach because of the dunes. This wasn’t an issue for us, but it may be for some. Overall, we had a great week and can’t wait to return to Ponte Vedra next year.

This was our second time staying in this beach house, and we loved it just as much as we did the first time! The location is unbeatable—right on the beach but away from public access, so it feels quiet and private without the crowds. At the same time, it’s just a quick drive to St. Augustine’s restaurants and entertainment, which makes it the best of both worlds.The house itself is spotless and stocked with everything you need, especially in the kitchen. The master bedroom has a phenomenal view—I could wake up to that every day! The bed was pretty comfortable, though I’ll probably bring my own pillows next time for personal preference.We also really appreciated that it’s dog friendly, which made the trip even more special for us.Overall, it’s the perfect beach getaway, and we can’t wait to come back again!

About the host

Hosted by Jean

Host profile image
It was love at the first sight when we first saw this adorable Octagon beach house and we know we just have to have it and now we want to share it with you.

We live in Ponte Vedra Beach since 1999 and love this area so much and will never move away.

We travel all over the world and like to bring the idea of what a home away from home should be so that you can experience the same as we do.

We have owned a few vacation rentals in different locations since 2004. Please check one of them at Jacksonville Beach Listing #401870. As you can see we always decorate it nicely for your stay so that it feels like a home.

Why they chose this property

This beach house is in S Ponte Vedra Beach and backyard is beach and is very private yet close to everything. It is not uncommon to go an hour without seeing another person walk by. The nearest public entrance is over a quarter mile away. The unique charm of this house with its floor to ceiling ocean front windows is so pleasant it lifts your spirit the moment you walk in the front door. It makes you say 'Wow' when you see the vista as soon as you open the front door. We know that you our guests will feel the same way.

What makes this property unique

Huge deck with your own private deck/boardwalk to the beach and it is all yours. Backyard is beach is just so awesome. We do supply 6 beach chairs and 1 beach umbrella if needed.

English, Chinese (Mandarin)
