Oceanfront Retreat

A Peace of Paradise is a spacious oceanfront home designed for relaxed group stays, offering five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and two additional powder rooms. With room for up to 13 guests, this 2,800 square foot property comfortably accommodates extended families or two families traveling together, while still allowing space to spread out.

From the back of the house, a private boardwalk leads directly over the dunes to the beach, with only the dunes and a large private pool separating you from the shoreline. The pool may be heated for an additional fee, with heating added in advance and available seasonally. Multiple decks and porches provide inviting outdoor spaces, including a second-story balcony overlooking the Atlantic and a shaded ground-level porch ideal for quiet mornings or evening conversations.

Inside, the home features two separate living rooms, each furnished with comfortable seating, TVs, and games, making it easy for groups to gather or enjoy downtime separately. The open kitchen is fully equipped with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and ample storage. The dining area seats six, complemented by additional seating at the breakfast bar and outdoor dining area.

Each bedroom includes its own full bathroom, offering privacy throughout the home. The primary suite features a Jacuzzi tub with a unique one-way mirror designed to capture ocean views. Additional amenities include a second Jacuzzi, washer and dryer, and well-planned indoor and outdoor living areas. This home is not pet-friendly.

We had a great stay. The house was a great size. The pool was really nice. We really appreciated all the beach items available to use (chairs, tents etc), that was a nice surprise. The host was very responsive. The view was amazing and the beach was never crowded. Quiet neighborhood. We visited a lot of local restaurants and St. Augustine. We plan on returning to this house! Only suggestion is to add a grill.

Perfect vacation home!

Absolutely loved our stay here. The property was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for our week stay. The pool was beautiful and the perfect temp. Tons of beach towels for pool and beach days. There was a few beach chairs and beach toys for the days we spent at the beach. Overall a great place to stay! Would definitely recommend.

Sunny days on the beach

This beach house is as welcoming as could be. Its expansive windows look out on a big stretch of beach, easily reachable by a brand new wooden walkover. The bedrooms each have en suite or, in one case, dedicated bathrooms, an amenity very welcome with a full house of people. The combination kitchen living area with its beach facing porch was enjoyable for all. The pool area is well set up for hanging out and enjoying fresh water. In cooler temperatures it would be advisable to request it be heated. Everything was as clean as could be. The kitchen had better than average utensils, etc. Beach towels provided. We college girlfriends had a memorable stay. Thanks, Marty!

Perfect Vacation Home for Large Groups

Our recent stay at this beautiful VRBO rental on St. Augustine beach exceeded all our expectations. With a group of 10 adults, we celebrated the week of July 4th in comfort and style. The house offers a spacious and thoughtfully designed layout, accommodating everyone with ease.The highlight for many of us was the stunning pool—crystal clear, inviting, and perfect for relaxing days under the Florida sun. Just a few steps beyond the backyard, we found ourselves on the sandy shores of the Atlantic, making it effortless to enjoy morning walks by the ocean or spontaneous swims throughout the day.The location is truly ideal. Nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood yet conveniently close to local attractions, restaurants, and historic downtown St. Augustine, we had the best of both worlds: peaceful beachside living and access to vibrant city life.Inside, the house was spotless and well-equipped with every amenity we could need. The kitchen was stocked for group meals, the living areas were comfortable for gathering, and each bedroom provided a restful retreat after busy days. Little touches—like plenty of towels, beach gear, and reliable Wi-Fi—made our stay even more enjoyable.In short, this property was the perfect home base for our holiday. We’re already dreaming of coming back, and would wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking a memorable group getaway by the sea. Five stars!
Like our own private beach!
Beautiful sunrise!
I had the pool to myself one day, as everyone else went to St. Augustine to sightsee.

Nicely equipped with plenty of room for the whole family. We were very comfortable. The pool was a big hit with everyone, as was the direct access to the huge beach, that was not over-crowded. A great beach choice.

Turtle Oasis

The house was just perfect for our 2 family vacation to the beach. We enjoyed having a private walk to the beach and seeing the beautiful turtles that lined the boardwalk. The house itself has the usual “beach vacation” rustic charm, and could use a few updates but overall, we were very pleased with it.

Multi-generation Family Vacation

Lots of room for a big group (10) that spanned 4 generations. Nice and clean, with good quality beds/pillows and plenty of extra towels. The swimming pool and private beach walkover were a hit. Ample parking for up to 6 cars. The kitchen was better equipped than other properties I have stayed at. Loved watching the sunrise over the ocean from the second floor. Terrific location and a great place to relax.

Great first stay @Butler Beach

Designed to be a family Christmas with people coming together from several locations. Despite the cold spell the house offered great beach access and ocean views. House was spacious offering plenty of room for people to relax and spend time together. Appreciated the cable access in different rooms (and levels), and for food planning with many people very much appreciated the 2nd refrigerator. Great location to St Augustine and easy enough drive up to Ponte Vedra. Desired location we may return with other families in tre future for beach vacation.

November with college kids and teens

We were visiting from Orlando to celebrate our daughter's 20th birthday. We had a party of 6 with some college kids and teenagers. The property was spotless and just what we were looking for with room to spread out. Even after viewing it on line the actual house was even better. The number of beds and bathrooms, kitchen was well stocked, the view was amazing,plenty of towels, quick access to town. We had a wonderful time and would definitely consider coming back again.

Wonderful Beach Delight

Super beach house with large pool and plenty of room for 10+ people with 5 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, fully-equipped kitchen and plenty of up-front parking room for guests and friends. Only 2 minor points: slow internet (3 mbps) and dining room which only seats 6. Other 4-person kitchen seating around sink island. Biggest negative was outrageous $500 VRBO fee tacked onto house rental.

We all had a wonderful time. Pool at house was great when too hot on beach. The bunk room was a smaller room than expected so only accommodated small children. Rental company worked great for grill. As stated in other reviews the internet just doesn’t work very well.

Paradise Found

We have been coming to St Augustine every summer for years, and have voted this our best trip yet! Large spacious house that had everything you could want, we loved the pool, walkover to the beach, and the beautiful beach itself. Cindy was super accommodating, we had a couple issues our first day and she was on top of it. Susie the pool lady was friendly and knowledgeable, and she took care of our issues right away. Only reason for the 4 star cleanliness rating was the pool deck and patio area could have used a good sweeping and hosing, which we did ourselves-I know, right? It’s OUTSIDE! Loved the house and area and would definitely stay here again.

Perfectly appointed.

We had everything we needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with cooking utensils and dry food staples. There are tons of towels and a blow dryer (not listed). There were tons of beach items, though some of the chairs were in disrepair. The pool in later March was very cold (not heated), but the kids still enjoyed it a bit. Beds are comfy. Location perfect. Internet service was annoying but restarting the modem seemed to help. Mgmt co was responsive, professional and polite. The only things missing are a hot tub and a fire pit. Otherwise, lovely home!!

Bug issue

The place was really nice except there was definintely a bug issue throughout the house. I did call them to let them know that we were getting ready to check out and let them know about the bug issue. They stated next time to call them immediately and the would send someone out to spray the house. I do know that they were sending someone over that day to spray the house.
