WaterColors - Wren Beach Rentals by Portoro
Summary: The perfect beach getaway! * Wake up to coffee and a stunning sunrise. * Spend all day lounging on the beach and cooling off in the ocean. * Wind down with a gourmet dinner overlooking the water. Embrace the essence of coastal living in this modern 5 br home. Directly on the beach, this home features spectacular views and plenty of space to make lasting memories.
The Space: Water Colors is the ultimate beach house for people who want the best of everything! This 5 bedroom, 4 bath home can accommodate up to 13 guests, with a maximum of 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. 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 bedrooms; the primary bedroom and a queen junior suite. A wrap around deck provides ocean access from the kitchen, living area, and both second level 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.
Wake up to breathtaking ocean views from the comfort of your king-size bed in this serene and spacious primary suite. Sliding glass doors frame the Atlantic, and a private walk-out to the beachfront patio lets you greet the sunrise each morning. The room features a smart TV for relaxing evenings in, along with a dedicated desk and workspace for those needing to check in while away. The en-suite bathroom offers a spa-like retreat with a walk-in shower, double vanity, and a luxurious soaking tub. Whether you're working remotely or simply unwinding, this oceanfront oasis offers the perfect blend of comfort and function.
The bright and breezy junior suite offers front-row ocean views and effortless comfort. Featuring a plush queen-size bed and access to the patio to the beach-ideal for morning coffee or sunset lounging, it's the perfect retreat for guests seeking a peaceful, private space. Just outside the door is bathroom with a walk-in shower. Thoughtful touches like coastal décor, ample closet space, and a smart TV make this suite as functional as it is beautiful.
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.
