About this property

Breathtaking Beach Front Home Minutes From Historic St Augustine & Restaurants

Peaceful and serene on the edge of the beautiful Atlantic, Casa Pelicanos Beach House's fabulous location allows you to enjoy endless ocean views from the windows and doors and its sprawling balcony space. Walk directly out your back door down the dune to the beach. A short 10 minute drive from historic Saint Augustine, and only five minutes to Vilano Beach with a full service Publix and several great restaurants. Or if you don't want to drive, just walk 1/4 mile up the beach to the Reef restaurant or across the street to Cap's on the intercoastal waterway.

This 3-bed, 3-bathroom beach house for up to 8 guests is a perfect family home. Ideal for a group or two families traveling together. The ground floor bedroom in Casa Pelicanos is like a separate guest suite. It features its own kitchenette, private living area with its own 50” HDTV (Roku, BluRay/DVD players) and a comfy queen bed for two. Whether two people in your group like to sleep late, or you have older parents with a slightly different itinerary, this is a fantastic two-for-one vacation rental.

On the patio outside the ground floor you'll find a barbeque for cooking the fresh fish from the ocean fish you can catch yourself right in back of the house on the beach or buy locally. The backyard sitting area, flows directly out on to the dune and down to the beach.

Upstairs, the living room is on the second level (so you get even better ocean views). All new elegant rattan furniture with a unique twist, with matching dining, lounge and entertainment areas combined in an open plan. Soaring ceilings with new leaf style fans. There's of course free wireless Internet throughout, and another 50" HDTV.

The dining area flows into the kitchen. The kitchen is a large gourmet kitchen with up close ocean view, enclosed laundry, and walk-in pantry - stocked with all the appliances, cooking equipment, silverware, plates, dishes, cups etc that you'll ever need. A breakfast bar has for barstools, just above a huge stretch of kitchen countertop. The U-shaped kitchen is spacious: just remember to glance up at the ocean view as you move easily between fridge, oven and dishwasher. A washer and dryer are also included (we're guessing you'll use a lot of beach towels and we've stocked those for you too)

The second floor also features a bedroom with two twin beds. Between the bedroom and kitchen is a newly remodeled bathroom, with elegant shower, leopard color basin sink, lighted mirror, and bidet toilet.

A wraparound deck and 40 feet of windows looking right at the beach will mesmerize you. Outside on the main deck there are sturdy yet comfortable patio furniture, an outdoor dining table.

Upstairs, the master bedroom continues the soothing beach palette. On the third floor you get an even better view of the ocean below. A private balcony gives you a sunrise all to yourself (or you might lazily enjoy it through the window from bed). The master bathroom is newly remodeled with stunning onyx blue tile, dual showers with side squirters and wands, blue basin sinks, lighted mirrors, and a bidet toilet.

All together the three bedrooms have a king bed in the master bedroom, queen on the ground floor, and two twins (plus an extra sleeper sofa in the loft area outside the mater bedroom, should you need it).

Casa Pelicanos is on a quiet stretch of the scenic highway A1A so you can head north up the gorgeous coast to Jacksonville, Ponte Vedra or south to St. Augustine, charming Flagler Beach and onward to popular Daytona. But you won't find a better beach anywhere. Just bring your sunscreen and enjoy!

All amenities and nice vacation-extras are within minutes. Charming Vilano beach has a Publix, restaurants and shops. Want to have your cake and eat it too? It's just 104 miles to Disney World. You can get up, enjoy the ocean sunrise, have a family breakfast and still make it to Orlando before Magic Kingdom opens.

Your time at Casa Pelicanos promises to be a vacation of incomparable quality.

Update December 2024

The dune and beach was restored by the US Army Corps of Engineers in Sept of 2023, so the dune and beach are big.

The house was freshly painted inside and out, also in Sept 2023. After that, in 2024, we remodeled the middle and master bathrooms, with delightful results. We also replaced all the furniture on the main level with a unique and beautiful collection of rattan called The New Twist.

Extraordinary Stay!!

This house was everything and more, the bathrooms are top of the line, marble floors, gold fixtures!! The entire house was very clean, the kitchen has new stainless steel appliances, I could go on and on about this house…..but you should plan a stay to see for yourself!! You will not be disappointed. I forgot to tell you that it is directly on the beach!

It's a beautiful very nice house. The view of the ocean cant be beat. Walking on the beach and there is so few people around is so nice. At the end of the week we were there we wished we could be there for a month. Will rent this house again. What a pleasure!

House location is perfect on the beach with very few people. The house definitely needs to be deeper cleaned, especially kitchen and HVAC vents. The kitchen could use some nicer and additional dishes/utensils for guests who cook. Overall the house needs to be updated, exterior needs cleaned up, it's very dated and wall facing ocean needs some attention. Rust coming from outlets is not a good sign. Owner was very helpful with dishwasher not working and faucets not working properly. Thank you! Stove is missing a control knob, so only 3 burners are useable. Location, location, location!!! Probably won't rent this house again, but area is beautiful.

Relaxing beach vacation

We had the most amazing and relaxing time at Casa Pelicanos! The house is very accommodating and had everything we needed including the most amazing bathrooms! There were beach supplies available for my kids and we all enjoyed swimming in the ocean all day and then watching movies together at night! Perfect stay and had everything we needed and PM was very helpful as needed.

Cant beat this location

Stayed at the house the week of Milton and I was sad to have to check out early because the house was nice and right on the beach! Fully stocked with everything you would need. The property manager was friendly and understanding and allowed us to cancel late due to the hurricane. I would stay here again!!

Amazing Thanksgiving

We decided to make a very special Thanksgiving for our 80 year old dad. We wanted him to see the ocean and make lovely memories for the whole family. We saw dolphins, watched the sunrise each morning, played games. The house is a perfect layout, bathrooms are gorgeous and the kitchen is large. It was an amazing experience and would stay here again. It might become our family’s new tradition. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

Perfect Beach Getaway – Clean, Beautiful, and Ideal Location!

My family and I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this beautiful beach house! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how clean and well-maintained the home was. It had everything we needed and more, making it easy to settle in and relax. The location was unbeatable—just steps away from the beach with stunning views of the water, and close to wonderful shops and fantastic restaurants. The hosts were incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect for our stay, ensuring we felt welcome and comfortable. We spent our days enjoying the pristine beach and clear water, and it was the perfect spot for our family getaway. We can't recommend this place enough and are already looking forward to returning for our next vacation!

Awesome beach stay.

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful beach home for the second time. Absolute wonderful location and couldn’t be any closer to the beach. They’ve upgraded two of the bathrooms and have gone above and beyond beautiful. We had a minor issue with the hot water heater and within an hour someone showed up to fix it. I would highly recommend this property to anyone looking for the perfect vacation getaway. My husband and I look forward to our next stay.

Stunning views and perfect location!

Casa Pelicanos was the perfect house for our family vacation! The views from all 3 levels were stunning--no bad location to watch the sunrise without even having to step outside! The 3 levels provided the perfect amount of space for each of our family members. The host truly thought of everything we needed - from power strips all over to a water filter in the kitchen and plenty of other helpful items on hand. The location was perfect - very easy to get to the grocery, restaurants and historic St. Augustine. We definitely hope to come back for another visit!

Family Getaway

We had a wonderful week here! There was nothing better than waking up to the sunrise on the beach right outside our doors. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves (mid July)! We surfed everyday and had the best stay here! Extremely convenient for kids. We had 4! I highly recommend! God bless!

The Yellow House

A wonderful beach house. Cozy, huge kitchen, plenty of space, especially love the covered porch and table on the deck. Not many places have a table outside. The owner was great and quick to respond when I had a question for him. An outside shower would be a great addition one day.

Family vacation

The home is spacious and comfortable. The location cannot be beat, right on the beach. The outdoor space with a covered area on the bottom floor, spacious deck on the main and third floor balcony are wonderful. We all enjoyed shelling, hunting for sharks teeth and relaxing. There were two turtle nests close to the home, but it was still too early for hatching. There are great restaurants within minutes, especially Caps on the Water. Publix is also very convenient. Overall we found the home a perfect fit for our multi-generational family.

Great view with super quiet beach

The overall layout of the house was great. Super nice view of the ocean from inside the house, and bedrooms on east side of house. Street noise was loud for those on the west side of the house. Great kitchen. Living room furniture and kitchen chairs could use a little loving. Run the dehumidifier and the house felt dryer inside and not as musty. Owner was very responsive to any time we notified him and got back to us very quickly. We would recommend this house.

Wonderful!!!

Best Vrbo Ever! Beautiful view, very clean, and a perfect beach home. The pictures were 100% accurate. The owner of the property is easily accessible, and answered my online questions quickly. The property manager was equally accessible, my only question was what they wanted to us to do when we left. We appreciated not having to purchase conveniences like dishwasher soap as we have in the past at other properties. I got up early to watch the sunrise every day, such a special treat. We are completely refreshed after our vacation. We already know we would like to stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Kelly Evans

Host profile image
I am a newbie vacation home renter. We are so happy to have this home, and look forward to sharing it with others.

Why they chose this property

Our dream for many years was to have a beach house, and we scoured the world to find exactly the right one in just the right spot. This is it!

What makes this property unique

Saint Augustine is a wonderful place. The oldest city in North America, it's one of the few places in the US you can feel something like the old Europe vibe.

Walking right out of the house on to the beach is so cool...it really sets the bar high for beach experiences!

You can surf or fish directly in front of the house.
