Seawatch features a tasteful color palette of cream and tan, imbuing the house with a sense of calm. Colorful splashes of blues and greens are interspersed throughout to keep the décor lively, as well as to remind us that we are on vacation!

This place was the best vacation me and my extended family have ever had together! It was big enough to hold all of us, and was quite a hit being on the ocean! We would definitely come back! The only suggestion I have that for 14 people, we were running low on paper products.

St Aug Family Vacation This is our 5th year to take a family vacation in St Augustine. Our first time to stay in the Seawatch house. It perfectly accommodated our group of 14. Perfect number of rooms and bathrooms. We cook a lot so we loved the large kitchen. As three of us drove in from 3 different states, the ample parking was fantastic. If you’re looking for a large house for your family vacation this is the one! Wren Beach rentals never disappoints.
