The Space:
Welcome to “Sandy Dunes”! We are located in the quiet neighborhood of South Ponte Vedra Beach, just 15 minutes north of historic St. Augustine. This beautiful, oceanfront home was lovingly remodeled in the fall of 2017. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath beach house is perfect for mid-sized groups, as it can sleep up to 8. We do have two other vacation rentals on either side of this one, if you need to sleep more people!
When you walk into the main living area of the house on the 2nd floor, you will be greeted with vibrant colors, beachy chic design, and amazing views of the ocean. On the main floor, you will find the open living room and eat-in kitchen. Both are designed with friends and family in mind. Whether you are in the kitchen, preparing your favorite meal, or watching a movie in the living room, the open floor plan allows everyone to stay connected. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything a chef could desire, and features stainless appliances, granite counter-tops, and a huge pantry. Thanks to the large windows, the living room is flooded with natural light, and features a beautiful wood ceiling, and warm hardwood floors. Two sofas surround the TV and offer a great place to gather. The built-in book shelf is full of books and games for you to enjoy. There is a powder room on this level as well. Outside, you will find a large wrap-around deck, perfect for enjoying the ocean breeze or working on your tan!
The master bedrooms is it’s own little oasis. The lucky inhabitants will enjoy sleeping to the sounds of the waves caressing the sandy shore. The master features a comfy king bed, TV, closet space, and a huge master bathroom. The master bathroom has his and hers sinks, a beautiful walk-in shower and a spacious closet. There is a sliding door from the bedroom that leads you right out to the oceanfront deck!
Downstairs are three more bedrooms and another full bathroom. One bedroom is on the ocean side of the house, and has a queen bed. The 3rd bedroom has a full Murphy bed, which is very comfortable, while the 4th bedroom is perfect for the kids. This bedroom has two, large built-in bunk beds and a TV. The bathroom downstairs has a shower and tub combination. We provide all of the bath towels and wash cloths for each bathroom. A stack washer and dryer are available downstairs as well.
PLEASE NOTE: There is a tight spiral staircase that is used to get from the first floor to the second from inside the house. You can also use the outdoor stairs to go down to the first level.
From the back door on the first floor, you have access to the covered porch. Here you will find a gas grill (propane provided), outdoor privacy shower, and your own private walkway to the beach. We provide beach towels and beach chairs, so you don’t have to pack them! There is a 1-car garage, but it is very small so we use it for storage and not parking. There is ample parking in the driveway out front.
While we know you will love spending as much time as you can at the beach, there are plenty of other activities in the area. Historic St. Augustine (the nation’s oldest city) is just 15 minutes south of us. There, you will find countless shops, art galleries, restaurants, tours, and more. If you love to golf, you have come to the right place. We have dozens of quality courses in the area, including TPC Sawgrass, home to the famous Par 3 17th island hole! If you are here during football season, be sure to head into Jacksonville to catch our 2017 AFC South Champion Jacksonville Jaguars! Day trips to Orlando and Daytona are very easy from here as well. Whatever you are looking for, we are sure to have it. Feel free to ask us for any recommendations. We are locals and love sharing our favorite places with our guests. So, what are you waiting for?

Summary: We loved our stay at Sandy Dunes! Beautiful house with an incredible view! Loved having coffee on the deck and watching the sunrise, walking up and down the beach, shelling and swimming in the ocean. Close to St Augustine and all the amenities there. Easy check in and check out. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

Summary: The house was beautiful and a fantastic location. The kitchen was well equipped however all of the guides that say the heat of the burner are rubbed off on the stove top so as a family that cooked all of our meals, that was a little difficult. Check in was easy however we let them know we were arriving at 3:45 but we still couldn’t get in before 4 so we sat outside for 15 minutes. Not a huge deal but paying this much for a rental asking to be let in 15 minutes early did not seem like a big deal. A lot of remotes missing batteries, I will say the management company was responsive. Overall a great stay.

Summary: This is a beautiful home and an excellent location. The home is so close to the beach we were comfortable letting our 3 year old play in the sand while we sat on the deck. The amenities in the home were perfect- tons of towels, a large washer/dryer, nicely stocked kitchen, and wonderful views. The house has obviously been completely redone recently. The only caution I would add is the spiral staircase is very dangerous for small children. It is very steep and narrow. We were able to purchase a baby gate to protect our crawler. The air conditioner went out at 3:30 on Friday afternoon but David jumped on it immediately. It was repaired within a few hours. It was a wonderful week for our family.

Summary: We had such an amazing time at Sandy Dunes! What an incredible place to relax, unwind, connect and enjoy family. There was plenty of room for the 5 of us (and the dog) to be comfortable and spend quality time together. House was very clean and well appointed. Property managers were very responsive (we had a couple minor issues during our stay that were promptly addressed). Very convenient to downtown St. Augustine, the grocery store, etc. I think our favorite part (aside from the quality family time) was how private/empty the beach was. We practically had it to ourselves and it was so beautiful and peaceful. The views from the house are spectacular! Definitely recommend!
