Space
Water Colors is the ultimate beach house for people who want the best of everything! This 5 bedroom, 4 bath home can accommodate 10 adults. The ocean front home is designed to please the most discriminating vacationer while enchanting its occupants with water color hues of blue, aqua, and sand. The house is direct ocean front, six miles north of historic St. Augustine and approximately 12 miles south of Ponte Vedra Beach. The area is very private with only single-family homes and a few excellent restaurants; however, in minutes you can be enjoying all the activities, shopping, golf and other pleasures available in St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra. Consisting of two floors plus the garage level, Water Colors offers fantastic ocean views from all rooms on the main (2nd) level. Here you will find a huge living room, dining area, eat-in kitchen, wet bar, and two master suites. A wrap around deck provides ocean access from the kitchen, living area, and both master bedrooms. The living area boasts two comfortable and quality leather sofas, gorgeous leather swivel chairs, tall game table, and 55″ wall mounted HD TV. The lovely dining area with large glass table and 8 chairs is conveniently placed near the wet bar. On the lower level are a spacious game room with TV, game table, and plenty of play space; plus three additional bedrooms, two full baths, and laundry with two sets of large LG equipment. One bedroom has a queen bed, one has two twin beds, and the third has a bunk bed plus pull-out trundle, offering sleeping for three. We also have a double size sofa bed in the game room. All bedrooms have their own televisions and are decorated in a casual, beachy style. Outside on the lower level is a small covered porch with beach views and direct seawall and beach access, a large dog run with artificial “dog turf”, and a double garage with elevator to all floors. Experience the beauty of sandy shores where you can swim, sunbathe, surf, paddleboard, and fish. Take leisurely walks along the beach to discover treasures like shark teeth, sand dollars, and sea glass. Explore Anastasia State Park for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, birdwatching, and picnicking in a stunning coastal setting. Discover the rich history of Historic St. Augustine by visiting landmarks like Castillo de San Marcos, St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, and the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. Stroll down St. George Street, a pedestrian only thoroughfare in the heart of the historic district, lined with charming shops, restaurants, galleries, and historic sites. Immerse yourself in the Gilded Age at the Lightner Museum, housed in a historic hotel, showcasing a diverse collection of art, antiques, and artifacts. Experience the thrill of getting up close to alligators, crocodiles, and exotic animals at St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, which also offers educational shows, zip lines, and exhibits of native Florida wildlife. Take a scenic short ferry ride to Fort Matanzas National Monument, a historic Spanish fort located on Rattlesnake Island. Learn about its role in protecting St. Augustine during the colonial period while enjoying views of the surrounding marshlands. Indulge in delicious cuisine at the many restaurants in St. Augustine, cafes, and eateries. From fresh seafood to international fare, there is something to satisfy every palate, including popular spots like 180 Vilano Grill and Pizza, Briskys BBQ, and Beaches at Vilano. *Maximum occupancy is strictly enforced. Per County regulation, this house can accommodate 10 "occupants," excluding children 12 years of age or under. However, the house sleeps a total of 13.

The house was absolutely beautiful. Great sights to see off the back porch. The house was very clean and it was as advertised. The host was very responsive with any of our questions. Overall a good experience and would stay again. The grill was very tricky to figure out so that would be the only thing I would say about that. But overall a good experience.

Great Rental and Rental Company Clean and well equipped house right on the Beach. We had a great stay. The rental company’s communication was top notch and I would 100% stay here again. Being close to Caps is a major perk.

The house was just perfect. We could be on the actual beach 20 steps from the back porch. Sunsets were just incredible to see from the wrap around porch! Everything was clean and totally stocked for cooking. The elevator was really nice to have when bringing in luggage and groceries. Most of all, we were very thankful this was a pet friendly home. Definitely a place I would recommend! 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!
