Welcome to The Great Escape! This oceanfront gem is located in the heart of beautiful, quiet and serene Ponte Vedra Beach. The house boasts 3 story beach living with amazing window and deck views and outdoor spaces, sleeps 8 and has been completely renovated from the ground up! Our Beautiful Beach House is nestled on a secluded stretch of beach that has no public parking or access nearby and is only 8 miles from historic downtown St. Augustine, just minutes from shopping, dining and the best tourist attractions.
The home has a newly remodeled, studio, mother-in-law suite on the first floor with its own private entrance, private kitchen, bathroom, sleeping space with king bed, living room, 55` smart tv, laundry and outdoor space.
The second story (the main living area) has amazing deck space overlooking Ponte Vedra Beach and the ocean and outdoor dining and grill that overlooks the gorgeous Atlantic Ocean.

The loft on the third floor has two addition twin beds for the comfort of your family and friends. Each bedroom has its own smart tv and clothing storage.
The house sits just across from the Guana Ocean Environmental Reserve where you can hike, jog, kayak, and bike while surrounded by protected wildlife. More than 3,800 sea turtles hatch on Ponte Vedra Beach each year, and the Guana Reserve works hard to protect the wildlife that`s right outside our door! Outside on the property, enjoy visiting on the large balcony that includes a charcoal grill, a picnic table for beachside cookouts, reclining lounge chairs around the firepit for relaxing, and the perfect hammock for an afternoon siesta by the sea. This section of beach offers a lot of privacy, sounds and views of breaking waves, amazing seashells and some of the best surf fishing around, so bring your poles and catch dinner! In the evening enjoy the firepit while kicking back in the Adirondack chairs to enjoy the cool ocean breeze with a bottle of wine. Beach chairs and beach games are also provided! There is also a storage shed if you want to bring your own beach cruisers, poles and surf boards. More than

Location was excellent. Beach access was terrific.
8 / 10Excellent·Dec 2025
The location was excellent, but the house needed some upgrades, especially the towels and rugs!
6 / 10Average·Sep 2024
We loved the location and were able to visit St. Augustine and Amelia Island from there. Beautiful uncrowded beach in September. We made the best of the rainy weather. St. Augustine is beautiful! The house had a few issues - the window on the main level was leaking badly and dripped all the way to the jnlaw suite’s door so we used towels to catch the drips. Our friends said they saw a lot of roaches in the inlaw suite, some of which walked on them during the night. The gas stove’s front burner dial came off and we needed assistance from the contractor to turn off the gas and the ignition. Other than that, we had a good time anyway.
