Welcome to Pelican's Beach Retreat! This newly built 8 bedroom, 5 bath home located one street back from the beach is ready for rental! Take in the sweeping views while sipping coffee and watching the sunrise over the ocean in the morning! Over 1200 square feet of outdoor living on large paver patio surrounding the pool and two outdoor decks! There is plenty of seating in the pool area on our built-in stone benches that wrap around the entire deck.
We have built this luxurious coastal style 4600 square foot home for large groups of families and friends traveling together and we have thought of your every vacation need! Outside you will find plenty of deck to sunbathe, loungers to relax on, a spacious 15x30 pool and a pergola to sit under while enjoy a poolside meal! For convenience the house offers 8 bedrooms all with King beds and 5 bathrooms, two with double vanities. There is an additional heated shower that is poolside.

There are two bedrooms on the first floor AND two living areas with a kitchen and a poolside kitchenette. The second floor has five bedrooms, and the 8th bedroom is on the 3rd floor along with the main kitchen and living area and an additional bath. With three kitchens and living areas your family will have plenty of room to stretch out and enjoy their vacation meals!
This large 8 bedroom house is located at the end of a quiet street with no through traffic. It is located less than one minute walk to the beach in the heart of Butler Beach in St. Augustine. Wonderful neighborhood with quick access to shops and restaurants. The house sits on top of one of the highest dunes in Butler Beach, providing for sweeping treetop and ocean views of the entire area from the third floor! The house is on a dune and the driveway is steep. Please ask us if you need more info.
The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill.
Butler Beach, where this house is located, is known as one of the most beautiful beaches in the northeast of Florida. It’s an expansive white powder beach! You’ll find fisherman, bikers when the tide recedes, walkers, surfers, kite boarders, shell gatherers, and of course sun bathers! St. Augustine city center, only 10 minutes north, is the most ancient, gorgeous city in Florida...and America for that matter! It hosts restaurants, stunning historic churches, some of the finest art galleries and a myriad of chic boutique shops. The first Friday of every month features an Art Walk, where some galleries even serve refreshments and stay open in the evening. As you walk cobble stone streets you have opportunity to explore history all around you, often hearing church bells. You can sight see through horse and buggy or trolley tours, or just shop til you drop! You will want to return year after year!
The cleaning company provides a limited amount of basic necessities (toilet paper, trash bags, dishwasher/laundry soap, etc.) to get you started, you will want to bring some with you.
Our pool technician comes on Tuesdays to check the chemicals and Fridays to clean. Our lawn/landscape professional comes on Wednesdays. These dates are subject to change based on weather or other factors, but in general that is when they are scheduled.
Important info about pool heating and fees: Both the spa and the pool will be at the same temperature if you choose to heat the pool because they share the same plumbing and heater. Most people prefer a heated spa in colder temperatures to a heated pool because the spa is set to 101 degrees and the pool heater would be set to 85 degrees. If the daytime air temp doesn't get above 58 degrees the pool will have a difficult time staying heated. The heating of the spa is included with your stay. If you want to heat the entire pool we have an additional heating fee of $199 plus $25 per night to maintain the temperature. If you arrive at the house and change your mind about the pool heating, the initial heating fee of $199 will not be refunded.
We don't offer refunds or reschedule stays during hurricane season, even if there is an evacuation order. Please purchase trip insurance for your stay if this is a concern.
Ring doorbell camera on the front door.
Garage is not available to guests. Our handyman might stop by if he needs tools or other items from the garage without notice. He will not access the house at any time without prior permission from guests, just the garage only.

The location is amazing for a beach vacation. The home was very clean and accessible to Old Town St. Augustine and Butlers Beach. We very much enjoyed our stay!
This was an important weekend for so many of us and we needed a place that would elevate our time together as a family. We absolutely found the retreat and perfect hosts to accommodate our needs. David was wonderful, prompt and very easy to work with as our contact. The incredible 3 story rental was simply amazing! It was even better than expected and the ocean view just perfect. It was indeed a perfect weekend and equally a perfect stay at the Pelican's Beach Retreat. I hope that we'll be able to come back again for another incredible stay. Again, thanks to our great hosts for everything!
Wonderful location super close to easy beach access. Pool was clean and a dream to relax in. Will easily be returning in the future to experience the same perfect vacation.
We were there for a concert at St. Augustine Amphitheater. Wonderful communication with hosts; location was so close to the beach. Quiet and peaceful at night.
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at this property. The pool and hot tub was a nice bonus. Very close to the beach! We would definitely recommend this property to others.
Great Location - St Augustine - Walking Distance to the Beach
Quiet street - located within walking distance from the beach. Very clean - nice floor plan - comfortable bed - conveniently located. The pool was very nice too! I will definitely stay there again when I return to St. Augustine!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The studio was well equipped with all the things we need and very clean. Nice and quiet and private. Will definitely book again in the future.
We had a very nice stay. Very clean, comfortable and updated. We got in late the night of check in and they left the lights on for us and the key pad was very easy and convenient.
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very comfortable, well stocked and clean. Proximity to the beach was great and we were close to everything you need - grocery stores, retaurants, coffee and donut places. The owners were very helpful and easy to contact. Overall it was a great experience. Thank you!

The location was perfect for my desires. Loved walking to Butler Beach through the sand dunes via the public access. The hot tub was just what the doctor ordered after a couple of weeks of road travels too. The hosts were wonderful with their communications too. Thank you both! 🌺
The property was in a great location for us because we enjoyed our frequent walks on the beach, drives to local state parks, and visits to the historic city. The unit had most everything we needed for a month long stay and the bed was very comfortable. The private deck space was nice too.
Everything about this property is perfect, and David and Patti were excellent! The house was clean and well-stocked, with everything we needed for our short trip to St. Augustine. The beach is a very short walk from the home. We will be using this house again in the future.
This was the perfect location for a couple of empty nesters who no longer have to haul a wagon full of toys to the beach. We loved the house, the decor, the location...everything. The hosts were appropriately communicative. It gave us a good balance of proximity to the beach and to historic St. Augustine. We hope to return next year.

The water softener did wonders on my skin. I’ve underestimated the value of that. This is a nice quiet, clean location right next to the beach where it’s not crowded at all. Went for Nights of Lights. Had a great stay and the host is be egg communicative. Thank you for a great stay!
loved this place. Very quiet and clean. Just a short walk to the beach and not far from all the shopping and restaurant's. The host is very easy to reach and responds quickly. I also loved the shower:) Nothing worse than wanting a good shower after a day at beach and having wimpy water pressure. This is not the case here. I would definitely stay here again.
We had a nice experience. The unit was as described. Nice kitchen. Clean. Well stocked. Quiet. Walkable to the really great beach. Overall exceeded expectations. Weather cooperated very nicely.
The apartment was so cute, beautifully decorated, and well-stocked. The bed was especially comfortable. We weren't thrilled with the location, but that's just our personal opinion. We would have preferred being a little closer to restaurants, other activities, and Old St Augustine. The nearby beach was beautiful, but the rainy weather kept us inside a lot. Owners were very helpful and friendly.
