The Great Escape is a 3 story, 4 bedroom, OCEANFRONT house that is located on the serene Ponte Vedra Beach. This gem boasts a 2nd story main living area, a 1st floor studio suite with private entrance and a 3rd floor loft. Sleeps 8 Welcome to The Great Escape! This oceanfront gem is located in the heart of beautiful, quiet and serene Ponte Vedra Beach. The house boasts 3 story beach living with amazing window and deck views and outdoor spaces, sleeps 8 and has been completely renovated from the ground up! Our Beautiful Beach House is nestled on a secluded stretch of beach that has no public parking or access nearby and is only 8 miles from historic downtown St. Augustine, just minutes from shopping, dining and the best tourist attractions. The home has a newly remodeled, studio, mother-in-law suite on the first floor with its own private entrance, private kitchen, bathroom, sleeping space with king bed, living room, 55" smart tv, laundry and outdoor space.

The house sits just across from the Guana Ocean Environmental Reserve where you can hike, jog, kayak, and bike while surrounded by protected wildlife. More than 3,800 sea turtles hatch on Ponte Vedra Beach each year, and the Guana Reserve works hard to protect the wildlife that's right outside our door! Outside on the property, enjoy visiting on the large balcony that includes a charcoal grill, a picnic table for beachside cookouts, reclining lounge chairs around the firepit for relaxing, and the perfect hammock for an afternoon siesta by the sea. This section of beach offers a lot of privacy, sounds and views of breaking waves, amazing seashells and some of the best surf fishing around, so bring your poles and catch dinner!

We stayed at the house most of the trip as we wanted as much time on the beach as possible. Private beach with immediate beach access as your back yard. ##### Donald F. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Miriam R. Dec 30, 2022 Disliked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### In Need of TLC- And Description Updates This was a painfully disappointing. The pictures are not a true representation of the property in size or cleanliness. Kitchen appliances had to be cleaned and using the dishes not recommended. There was also a terrible problem with ants which resulted in an interruption in our stay since one of our family members is severely allergic to ants- we couldn’t take the risk. I would not recommend this property to anyone until it receives the care that it needs. As a side note, there is little privacy between the suite downstairs and the upstairs housing. You can hear everything. We contacted customer service with VRBO hoping to resolve our problem but received little to no help, and the Book with Confidence insurance coverage was a worthless investment because it didn’t cover any of the issues encountered, you prevent deadly allergic reactions, you don’t wait for them like bait. ##### Miriam R.

Beach was not crowded as there is no public access to this part of the beach. Water was unusually clear for this part of Florida (so the locals tell me). House was great -- clean, stunning view from the living room. Communication with owner was fast and friendly. I hope to get the opportunity to stay here again. ##### Robin F.

Completely separate floors top and bottom, bottom floor surprisingly is a bit warmer with the AC on. Great deck top and bottom. No dishwasher, minimal pans. 90% of time spent outside, so house doesn’t need to check all the boxes. Slept 8 comfortably. Good value for the area ##### Andrew A.

The house needs work- pictures look good online, but the place needs some tlc. I was not aware that the master was separate from the rest of the house. Its like two different rentals stacked on top of each other. The ceiling was leaking onto the bed post in the master. On the main floor the flooring around some of the air registers were mushy and sink in when you step on them. ##### Angela N. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ursula C. Sep 24, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location We loved the location and were able to visit St. Augustine and Amelia Island from there. Beautiful uncrowded beach in September. We made the best of the rainy weather. St. Augustine is beautiful! The house had a few issues - the window on the main level was leaking badly and dripped all the way to the jnlaw suite’s door so we used towels to catch the drips. Our friends said they saw a lot of roaches in the inlaw suite, some of which walked on them during the night. The gas stove’s front burner dial came off and we needed assistance from the contractor to turn off the gas and the ignition. Other than that, we had a good time anyway. ##### Ursula C.

I also have a problem with being charged $400 for a cleaning fee and then having a list of chores to do. Especially with a house that size. Overall, the location made this property.

I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location sells this house. The beach is rightcout the door, which is exactly what we wanted. And there were no crowds to deal with. Most of the time we nearly had the beach to ourselves. Yes, the house was on the small side, but it worked for us. I would have liked a bit more space in the 1st floor bathroom (particularly the vanity area) but we got by. Enjoyed spending time on the porches and the firepit area when we weren't on the beach. The host, Brian, responded promptly on the couple of occassions we needed something. I would recommend The Great Escape to anyone looking for a low key beach vacation. ##### Gloria B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gloria B.

Yes, the house was on the small side, but it worked for us. I would have liked a bit more space in the 1st floor bathroom (particularly the vanity area) but we got by. Enjoyed spending time on the porches and the firepit area when we weren't on the beach. The host, Brian, responded promptly on the couple of occassions we needed something. I would recommend The Great Escape to anyone looking for a low key beach vacation. ##### Gloria B.

Jul 29, 2024 #### Fantastic Location Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No issues with check-in, detailed instructions provided. The house is a compact layout, but it is functional. The downstairs suite is wonderful. The sunrises were amazing as is the constant ocean view with no obstructions. No dunes, no boardwalks, just open beach and the ocean. Highly recommend and would stay here again. ##### Kerrie H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kerrie H.

The downstairs suite is very nice a large king bed, sitting area, and kitchen. The only thing that would have improved the stay is more counter/pantry space, but it Is simply a space limitation that we worked with. Air worked very well. If you shut the door to the bedroom area, it gets a bit warmer in the bedrooms, but the solution is to open the door separating the living space from the bedrooms. Overall, the house is small but clean and works well. Even though the house sits on A1A, you really don’t hear any traffic from inside the house. The location and proximity to the ocean is amazing! The sound of the waves is constant. We spent many afternoons on the deck downstairs while watching the ocean. The ocean is literally in the back yard. Due to limited public beach access, you feel as if it is a semi-private beach. Would recommend this house and would stay here again without hesitation! ##### Kerrie H.

Being steps away from the beach and the comfortable house, keep us coming back. ##### Carol H.

Jun 9, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Beach! The house was great for us! Our son and family stayed upstairs with their dogs and my husband and I stayed downstairs. It is a perfect set up so we could all have some privacy. As soon as you open the door the beach is RIGHT there. The beach is very private with just neighbors using it. Sometimes we were the only ones on the beach with no one insight. We enjoyed sitting outside on the rear decks, eating and playing games. The breeze you get off the ocean made it much cooler. We took a nap in the hammock, used some of the beach toys that was provided, and especially enjoyed taking a quick rinse in the outdoor shower. A hose is also provided to give the dogs a bath before taking them back inside. The downstairs has a twin recliner loveseat for watching tv or just reading a book and the bed was comfortable. Upstairs has a larger kitchen and table for eating meals together. (Smaller full kitchen downstairs). Brian quickly responded to any questions we had and we’d love to return in the future. Thank you Brian for letting us enjoy your beach house for the week!! ##### Cheryl H.
