Luxury 8BR Ocean Views, Pool & Heated Spa, Walk to the Beach! 360 Views from Top

Welcome to Pelican's Beach Retreat! This newly built 8 bedroom, 5 bath home located one street back from the beach is ready for rental! Take in the sweeping views while sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the ocean in the morning! Over 1200 square feet of outdoor living on large paver patio surrounding the pool and two outdoor decks! There is plenty of seating in the pool area on our built-in stone benches that wrap around the entire deck.

We have built this luxurious coastal style 4600 square foot home for large groups of families and friends traveling together and we have thought of your every vacation need! Outside you will find plenty of deck to sunbathe, loungers to relax on, a spacious 15x30 pool and a pergola to sit under while enjoy a poolside meal!
For convenience the house offers 8 bedrooms all with King beds and 5 bathrooms, two with double vanities. There is an additional heated shower that is poolside. Comfortable mattresses, tiled showers, granite vanities and TV’s in most bedrooms make these rooms ideal! The setup is perfect. There are two bedrooms on the first floor AND two living areas with a kitchen and a poolside kitchenette. The second floor has five bedrooms, and the 8th bedroom is on the 3rd floor along with the main kitchen and living area and an additional bath. With three kitchens and living areas your family will have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy their vacation meals!

This large 8 bedroom house is located at the end of a quiet street with no through traffic. It is located less than one minute walk to the beach in the heart of Butler Beach in St. Augustine. Wonderful neighborhood with quick access to shops and restaurants. The house sits on top of one of the highest dunes in Butler Beach, providing for sweeping treetop and ocean views of the entire area from the third floor!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill.

Butler Beach, where this house is located, is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the northeast of Florida. It’s an expansive white powder beach! You’ll find fisherman, bikers when the tide recedes, walkers, surfers, kite boarders, shell gatherers, and of course sun bathers! St. Augustine city center, only 10 minutes north, is the most ancient, gorgeous city in Florida...and America for that matter! It hosts restaurants, stunning historic churches, some of the finest art galleries and a myriad of chic boutique shops. The first Friday of every month features an Art Walk, where some galleries even serve refreshments and stay open in the evening. As you walk cobble stone streets you have opportunity to explore history all around you, often hearing church bells. You can sight see through horse and buggy or trolley tours, or just shop til you drop! You will want to return year after year!

The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you.

Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.

Important info about pool heating and fees: Both the spa and the pool will be at the same temperature if you choose to heat the pool because they share the same plumbing and heater. Most people prefer a heated spa in colder temperatures to a heated pool because the spa is set to 101 degrees and the pool heater would be set to 85 degrees. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. The heating of the spa is included with your stay. If you want to heat the entire pool we have an additional heating fee of $199 plus $25 per night to maintain the temperature. If you arrive at the house and change your mind about the pool heating, the initial heating fee of $199 will not be refunded.

We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.

Ring doorbell camera on the front door.

Garage is not available to guests. Our handyman might stop by if he needs tools or other items from the garage without notice. He will not access the house at any time without prior permission from guests, just the garage only.

Empty nester getaway

This was the perfect location for a couple of empty nesters who no longer have to haul a wagon full of toys to the beach. We loved the house, the decor, the location...everything. The hosts were appropriately communicative. It gave us a good balance of proximity to the beach and to historic St. Augustine. We hope to return next year.

loved this place. Very quiet and clean. Just a short walk to the beach and not far from all the shopping and restaurant's. The host is very easy to reach and responds quickly. I also loved the shower:) Nothing worse than wanting a good shower after a day at beach and having wimpy water pressure. This is not the case here. I would definitely stay here again.

Great getaway!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Owners were very helpful with checkin/checkout processes. Just enough space for our family of 4. Enjoyed private deck and lots of pool time each day. Short walk to beach which was wonderful to come back for lunch, pool and rest time. Private pool was a great perk after beach time! Only a 5 min drive to A1A beach area and 10-15 min drive to St Augustine. We love the location as it was off of populated beach area which allowed for more privacy. Owners were respectful of our family on property as well! Would highly recommend for a getaway or small family vaca!

Lovely apartment

The apartment was so cute, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked. The bed was especially comfortable. We weren't thrilled with the location, but that's just our personal opinion. We would have preferred being a little closer to restaurants, other activities, and Old St Augustine. The nearby beach was beautiful, but the rainy weather kept us inside a lot. Owners were very helpful and friendly.
