Gaze out across the tidal basin at the Intracoastal Waterway in one direction and glimpse the Atlantic Ocean in the other from the balcony of this brand-new beach house at Pelican Point 1. With an elevator, 2 master suites, 2 master baths with Whirlpool tubs, plantation shutters and more, the living is easy!

Be one of the very first guests in this spacious, modern beach house, which overlooks a beautiful wilderness area (if there are any birders in your group, they are going to be wowed!) on one side, is just 2 blocks from the beach on the other hand is surrounded by a tennis and basketball court and a softball park. Although you are in St. Augustine and just steps from Surfside Beach, you get a feeling of wilderness and wide-open spaces that is so liberating! .

Studded with balconies and big windows with plantation shutters, this beach house suite offers 2,000 square feet of living space. Everything inside is top-of-the-line and brand-new. Why should you have to go casual just because you are at the beach?!

Enter the living room and you feel instantly cooler, not just from the silent air conditioning and whirring ceiling fan, but because of the stone floor -- so friendly to hot, sandy feet! A large, open space with creamy walls and a plush sofa set that invites you to flop right down. The great room also contains a fully equipped media center. After a busy day sightseeing, surfing, or building sandcastles, nothing is more relaxing than a movie on the big screen with all the comforts of home!

Speaking of home, feel free to use the state-of-the-art kitchen for everything from reheating takeout to creating a homemade feast. With gleaming stainless steel appliances, real granite counter tops, handsome wood cabinetry, and both a breakfast bar and formal dining area, it is a delight to cook (and eat!) in. And of course it is equipped with all the dishes, utensils, cookware, and all the gadgetry you could ask for, including a griddle for the stove. Also included are those time-savers that matter so much: a microwave, coffeemaker, ice maker, blender, and toaster, among others. Each unit has a 20 KW automatic backup generator should electric power ever be lost due to bad weather or whatever the situation.

The dining area offers a formal table for 6 in a light-filled room, sunshine pouring through long windows as well as a door leading out to a balcony. What begins as quick meals may end in long, relaxed conversations around the table -- this space is simply invites you to push back your chair and stay a while! After you eat, break out the cards and games for a nice, low-key family evening at home. It is moments like these that make a vacation truly special.

And when it is time to retire for the night, you will discover just how comfortable Pelican Point I really is. Both of the bedrooms here are master suites, each with a king-size bed, 37-inch wall mounted HDTV, private bathroom, walk in closets, and door leading out onto a private balcony. The design is sleek, modern, and elegant, so you never feel cluttered or closed in. Take a glass of wine onto the balcony at midnight to enjoy the sultry night air and count the stars, or bring your first cup of coffee out in the morning and watch the birds wheeling over the marsh. You can almost feel yourself rejuvenating!

The master bathrooms each have a jetted Whirlpool tub, waiting to caress away the aches of the day. And there is even a third full bathroom, plus a plush sofa sleeper in the living room in case you want to put up friends. All of the linens, towels, blankets, and pillows you will need for your stay are waiting for you here.

This beach house has a full-size washer and dryer, as well as a handy desk in case you are taking a working vacation. You have free wireless Internet at the houses, so go ahead and bring your electronic devices. You will never be out of touch here unless you want to be!

Pelican Point I is perfect for two couples traveling together, a group of friends, or parents and children. You are just minutes from historic downtown St. Augustine and just ½ mile from the Vilano Town Center.

Saint Augustine Beach, Florida, Ocean View Vacation Rental-136 Lawn Ave.
With views of both the Intracoastal Waterway and Atlantic Ocean, this new beach house at Pelican Point 2 overlooks a tidal basin, giving you wilderness vistas just 1 block from the beach. Elegant and modern, it's a lovely place to spend your best vacation ever.

The best thing about Pelican Point 2 is that it's ideal for just about every style of vacation. If you're a sightseer, you are just minutes from historic downtown St. Augustine, with many other attractions a short drive away. If you're a sports person, the Intracoastal (ICW) and the ocean await your kayak, boat, surfboard, or swim fins, and you're within 1 block of basketball court, tennis court, and a softball field.

If you're a nature lover, bring your binoculars, camera, and Peterson's Guides, because the tidal basin is teeming with birds and the ICW is crisscrossed with nature paths. And if you're just seeking rest and relaxation, Pelican Point 2 has multiple balconies for sunbathing. The family-friendly beach is wide and beautiful, and this beach house is ready to welcome you with luxurious comfort in every room.

Unlike most homes, which have a master bedroom and then "lesser" bedrooms, Pelican Point 2 has 2 masters and a children's room. This is perfect for multi-generational trips: both the grandparents and parents have luxuriously appointed suites! It's also perfect for 2 families traveling together. The kids' room sleeps 3 in a cheery bunk bed (single on top, double below), and there's a sleeper sofa in the living room for 2 more, so everyone's happy.

Each of the master suites contains a brand-new king-size bed, a 37 inch wall-mounted HDTV, a private master bathroom, and a door leading out to a private balcony. Plan to sleep late at least one morning of your trip and enjoy that first cup of coffee in the privacy of your own balcony, looking out at another perfect St. Augustine day!

The master bathrooms each have a jetted Jacuzzi tub that is simply heavenly for soothing those sore muscles, plus a separate shower. And there's a third full bathroom in the condo for the kids, so you don't even have to share! Ah, isn't it wonderful to be spoiled, just a little, on vacation?!

You won't want to leave the master suite each day, but when you do, you'll find yourself rewarded by our state-of-the-art kitchen, which is equipped to help you prepare just about anything up to and including a Thanksgiving feast -- all you add is the food! Stainless-steel appliances, real granite counter tops, custom wood cabinetry and a roomy breakfast bar await you. Each unit has a 20 KW automatic backup generator should electric power ever be lost to bad weather or whatever the situation.

Of course, you may be following a strict restaurant-only diet during this vacation, but even if you only use it for coffee and snacks, you'll appreciate the well-stocked shelves and high-tech feel of this kitchen. And if you simply can't bear to be indoors, take your meal out to our new grill and dine al fresco on the patio!

The formal dining area at Pelican Point 2 seats 8 comfortably, which is good because this light-filled room with plantation shutters encourages people to linger long after the food is gone. It's a great game area, and a nice place for the younger children to wind down with crayons and paper after a long day of sightseeing or sandcastle-building. And a door leads out to a balcony, just in case the gang wants to enjoy their after-dinner drinks under the stars.

The living room at Pelican Point 2 is designed for togetherness, with a huge 42-inch HDTV and 1080 dpi DVD player. The couches are so luxurious that once you sink into them, you may not want to rise again. And why should you? Put another movie into the DVD player or turn on your favorite music and enjoy a relaxing evening at home. You've even got free wireless Internet at Pelican Point 2, and a desk for your laptop right in the living room.

With 2,200 square feet of living space, Pelican Point 2 has room for everyone to spread out and make themselves comfortable. You'll find all the amenities here, from a full-size washer and dryer, to all the fresh towels, linens, blankets, and pillows.
