Newly constructed as of 2017, the beach and the ocean just steps from your door. Breathtaking views of sand, surf, and sky. Fabulous sunrises. Plenty of room for the whole gang to kick back and chill out. If these are your requirements for the perfect vacation, then Island Life Beach House is the destination for you. Please Note: 1-week minimum stay, Saturday arrival and Saturday departure in season.
Able to sleep up to 20 people, Island Life is both spacious and cozy, private and conveniently located. Not only is it mere steps from the beach, but it’s also just minutes from the Mayo Clinic; St. Augustine, with its picturesque Old City; and a wealth of shops, restaurants, and more. There is even a rooftop deck with sweeping views of the coast

A private walkway takes you from Island Life’s backyard over the lush dunes to the uncrowded coquina sands of Ponte Vedra Beach. Even when you’re not on the beach itself, frolicking in the surf or combing the sand for the shells, you can still hear the murmuring waves and smell the fresh salt air—Island Life is that close.

You can relish in the ocean view from just about any part of this spacious newly rebuilt home. Spanning the length of the house is a wooden deck plenty of chairs and a round dining table, it’s a perfect spot for enjoying a drink as you look out for dolphins you might catch cavorting beyond the surf. You can eat outdoors too, if you choose.

Just as welcoming are the 2 living rooms - one downstairs and one upstairs - and both with views of the beach and ocean. The more formal one has a plump, plush sofa, bucket chairs, a TV, and a Blu-Ray/DVD player; the 2nd has a beachier feel. There’s plenty of space for the kids to sprawl out with games and crafts while the grown-ups chat, check their email (Island Life has free wifi web access), or stretch out for a nap. And if you want some me time, there's plenty of space to choose from.

The dining table is large enough to seat 12 people, and should you still need more space there’s the adjacent breakfast bar with 7 stools. The dining room looks out onto the beach, which provides the perfect backdrop for a lively family meal--just as the kitchen is equipped with everything you need to prepare and serve the meal.

Refrigerator/freezer with ice and water in the door, microwave, coffeemaker, toaster, not to mention cookware and tableware: You name it, our kitchen most likely has it! The freestanding island offers additional prep space, and there’s enough storage to hold at least a week’s worth of groceries, so you can shop at the supermarket in the beginning of your stay and then not have to waste time there again.

Speaking of time-savers, Island Life has a washer and dryer on each floor. Given how often you’ll be changing in and out of your bathing suits during your stay, the washer and dryer are more than a convenience; they’re a necessity! And, just in case, should anyone need to rinse off outside, there is an outdoor shower on the north side of the house.

Just as Island Life has 2 living rooms, it has 2 master bedrooms as well—perfect if you’re vacationing with another family. The two master bedrooms, and, in fact, all of the bedrooms have flat screen TVs. Every bedroom also has its own bath. The master bedrooms have doors leading out to either the first-floor oceanfront deck or second-floor porch overlooking the ocean. What an amazing sight. At least once during your stay, you should wake up early so that you can relish the sunrise while in your pajamas.

3 bedrooms are on the main floor. The 3rd master suite also has a king-size bed, a full bath. A 2nd bedroom has a queen bed. And, a third bedroom has a daybed that can turn into 2 twin beds, making this the room to choose if you’re vacationing with a young child or if you’re with several teens who want their own hangout. The remaining 2 bedrooms on the upstairs each have 4 twin beds and a bathroom of their own. Fresh towels and bedding will be waiting for you when you arrive, so you can leave your own at home where they belong!
