About this house rental

Step into a true old-school Florida direct private beach house where generations of family memories meet sweeping ocean views. This heritage oceanfront home, built by the owners’ parents in 1970, offers a rare combination of character, history, and direct access to the sand — something you simply can’t replicate in modern construction.

Unlike many contemporary rentals, the home has a rustic, classic coastal feel reflecting decades as a beloved family retreat. Carefully maintained and thoughtfully updated, it preserves its charm while providing modern comfort. This is not a cookie-cutter investment property — it’s a legacy beach home with soul.

Perched above the dunes, the house offers magnificent sunrise views over the Atlantic and sunset views over the river. Multiple balconies provide front-row seats to ocean breezes and the rhythm of the waves. Start your mornings with coffee overlooking the water, spend your days on the beach just steps away via your private beach access or (about a 10-minute walk or 5-minute drive; please note that due to the dunes, wagons or carts cannot be wheeled directly to the sand), and end the evening grilling dinner as the sky turns shades of orange and pink.

The pristine shoreline rebuilds naturally after storms and has never required renourishment — you can feel the difference in the soft white sand. Crossing your private walkover above the untouched dune is a remarkable experience. Guests with mobility challenges may find the dune crossing difficult; a nearby public boardwalk and beach driving access (4-wheel drive required) offer alternatives.

Inside, you’ll find comfortable gathering spaces, a fully equipped kitchen designed to feed a crowd, and a large dining table perfect for shared meals and game nights. The layout accommodates families and groups while maintaining a cozy, welcoming atmosphere.

✔ Family-friendly with space for multiple generations
✔ Fully renovated bathrooms
✔ Washer & dryer for convenience
✔ Comfortable beds throughout
✔ Relaxed, homey charm with room to gather and unwind

This is the kind of place where memories are made — just as they have been for over 50 years. If you’re seeking a polished, ultra-modern condo, this may not be the right fit. But if you want a character-filled oceanfront retreat with history, warmth, and private beach access near St. Augustine, this one-of-a-kind coastal home delivers an authentic Old Florida experience.
