About this property

Cute Oceanfront House with Almost Private Beach 8 min to Downtown St Augustine

Octagon Blue, two octagons connected together to become one beautiful ocean front home. The entire East side of the home includes floor to ceiling windows facing the ocean. Our guests love the unique and interesting architectural design and large deck and private walkway to the ocean. You should come and experience it yourself. As it's hard to show from the pictures.
It is PERFECT for a Long weekend romantic getaway, weekly or monthly vacation, a honeymoon, 1 to 3 couples, 2 families or even multi generation family reunion for beach vacation of a lifetime! 3 Bedroom, 3 bath, with large Master Suite and nicely furnished. This home was designed for fun. Set on a high dune, you can watch the ocean waves from the Master Bedroom, The kitchen/Dining table, the Kitchen and the living room. The unique design of the beach house takes advantage of every square foot of the property.
Very easy access from the house to the deck from either the main living area or the master suite or from ground level below the elevated house directly from the driveway through your own private access gates. Free High Speed Internet throughout the house. Two HD flat screen TV's with Roku, Netflex, and Prime plus more streaming, etc. We fell in love with Octagon Blue house the first time we saw it, due to its unique Octagon architecture, and incredible views with floor to ceiling windows the entire east side of the house. The master bed room has its own Octagon and is so cute and you must come see for yourself. We know you will fall in love with it just like we did and still do.

Octagon Blue house has 3BR, and 3 baths. We have good quality furnishing - beautiful teak/Rattan bedroom set in master suite, queen, beautiful white king size bedroom set in the 2nd master suite, and adorable white bunk bed in the 3rd bedroom (twin over double with trundle bunk bed). The Master suite has its own private bath, double sink, and oceans views from the large glass walk in shower. Two large dressers for your clothes and a nice size walk in closet. The 2nd bedroom comes complete with King bed, dresser, closet and full bath. The 3rd bathoom located next to the 3rd bedroom and living area. The 3rd bedroom also has a dresser and closet. The 2nd TV is currently located here. The deck is very large and a great place relax in the sun, or enjoy an early or late meal.

The Octagon House has efficient central air and also has ceiling fans located throughout and in each bedroom. A full size washer and Dryer are located in the lower level.

From May 1st thru October is Turtle Season and local and state laws due require that all ocean front homes lower their blinds at sunset and not illuminate their decks at night with white light so as to disturb the Loggerhead Turtle Nesting which occurs all along our beach. We use only approved deck lighting and ask that you respect these rules as we can receive a fine for failure to do so.

We have been renting ocean front property for over 10 years and with great success and with many who come year after year. Once you stay here we are confident you will want to return again and again. We will do everything we can to make your vacation home a fun, relaxing and memorable experience. We hope you enjoy your stay at our personal vacation home, as much as we do.
p.s. The Octagon deck shown in a couple pictures were unfortunately taken away from hurricane so it is no longer there but we have big deck for you to enjoy viewing the ocean.

Perfect Beach Vacation

If you are looking for serenity, this is the place. A beach right outside your doors. Non-stop windows facing the water allow you to enjoy the waves inside or a big deck for the full outdoor experience. Kitchen is fully stocked and the beds comfortable. To top it off….it is just minutes from St Augustine. It was the perfect beach vacation.

Great Property

This is the second year in a row that we have rented this property for Spring Break. It is a great value and super unique. Fits our family perfectly. We had a couple of small logistical issues with the property, but Jean was very responsive to meet our needs. Will definitely rent again.

Such a unique home that makes perfect use of the octagon space, including a sizableMB with lounge area for quiet time. The views are amazing and the beach feels like old Florida. No crowds at all. I will definitely stay here again.

Misleading booking information/exterior cleanliness

Inaccurate descriptions of the property in the listing. The exterior reading nook that is seen in your pictures on the balcony walk way was not there, including we were under the impression the back deck was fairly new and nails/screws wouldn't been protruding out of the wood to catch our feet on. Also the sliding glass door did not lock properly and once closed it is very difficult to reopen from outside. And the other rear door was difficult to open/close and the door lock was rusty making it difficult to lock daily. The deck gate hindge screws are rusted out or loose causing it to drag badly against the deck. Also there were lots of trash, leftover rubbish from the remodel under the deck including nails, gutter trimmings and at the septic clean out there was a used tampon on the ground for the children to find and ask questions about. Interior was nice, the ac was great, the home was very unique and nice. The beach was conveniently in the back yard and secluded with beautiful in home views. But it is very Disturbing, how much debris was there and other mentioned issues considered the cost of the booking. The conditions were not expected considering the estimated value of the home and the current exterior pictures that were seen in the listing. I ntioned everything that I have put here to Owner prior to reviewing and only received an apology and a statement that they would clean property and update photos. they are not interesting in having repeat customers, only i

Amazing

Our family had a wonderful time! Beautiful ocean sunrises and dolphins every morning. We will for sure be back to stay. Easy to contact the owner with any questions we had. We were provided with many extras (boogie boards, beach chairs to name a couple). We loved the unique structure of the octagon house and the large deck overlooking the beach and ocean. 10/10 recommendation

Great oceanfront property

When the teenagers say ‘we should come here again next year’, you know you’ve found a good place. Great beach with very few people nearby. Also, One of the best maintained/equipped VRBO properties we’ve stayed at. Kitchen was well equipped with all the essential items. Property was very clean, bathrooms were stocked well too. As one review noted, the deck could be updated, but we didn’t have any issues with nails or screws.

Relaxation Vacation

The cottage is spacious and inviting. You get a feeling that you are home and you can relax. Everyone had a smile on their face the entire vacation. Views of the sunrise each morning while we fished or drank coffee on the deck where magnificent. We could visit St. Augustine in 15 minutes which was nice. Great vacation!!!

Great trip!

House was so clean. Pictures did not do justice for how beautiful it is!! Only negative is the back porch had nails sticking up and the wood really does need an upgrade. But not a big deal we just made sure to have shoes on out there. Communication with the host was super easy with a fast response. Will for sure try to vacation here again!!

About the host

Hosted by Jean

Host profile image
It was love at the first sight when we first saw this adorable Octagon beach house and we know we just have to have it and now we want to share it with you.

We live in Ponte Vedra Beach since 1999 and love this area so much and will never move away.

We travel all over the world and like to bring the idea of what a home away from home should be so that you can experience the same as we do.

We have owned a few vacation rentals in different locations since 2004. Please check one of them at Jacksonville Beach Listing #401870. As you can see we always decorate it nicely for your stay so that it feels like a home.

Why they chose this property

This beach house is in S Ponte Vedra Beach and backyard is beach and is very private yet close to everything. It is not uncommon to go an hour without seeing another person walk by. The nearest public entrance is over a quarter mile away. The unique charm of this house with its floor to ceiling ocean front windows is so pleasant it lifts your spirit the moment you walk in the front door. It makes you say 'Wow' when you see the vista as soon as you open the front door. We know that you our guests will feel the same way.

What makes this property unique

Huge deck with your own private deck/boardwalk to the beach and it is all yours. Backyard is beach is just so awesome. We do supply 6 beach chairs and 1 beach umbrella if needed.
