Live each day with the taste of salt on your lips and the sound of waves in your ears. A minute’s drive from retro-cool Vilano Beach and just slightly further from historic St. Augustine, you’re able to fill your Flamingo House itinerary however you choose. Yet it’s the unplanned mornings and lazy afternoons at home you’ll love best.

Wake up: you’ve got an ocean-front view. Sit up in bed: you’ll catch the sun rising over the Atlantic. From there, you’ll need to make a few decisions. Cooked breakfast in your gleaming kitchen or hit the beach first and eat later? As the day heats up you might want to try snorkeling, boogie boarding or even rent a boat nearby and enjoy the breezy intracoastal.

Otherwise? Enjoy a long lunch under the cooling ceiling fans of the comfy living room. Read a book, work on a jigsaw puzzle, watch a movie or just spend time with your family. When the best ocean view is on display from every window at all times, you never need worry you’re missing anything. Every moment is as good as it can be.

The Flamingo Beach House is packed with care and detail to make your vacation that little bit sweeter. This luxury, fully renovated beach house is also packed with many upgrades including granite surfaces throughout, beautiful crown molding, hardwood floors, travertine baths, two car spacious enclosed garages, two bedrooms on the ocean side with balconies.

Sitting high on a 35 foot dune, its private location allows you to enjoy endless ocean views and sprawling balcony space. There are two comfortable chairs in a glassed in atrium section of the living which give an unobstructed view of the beach/ocean. Or, open up the glass sliding doors and step onto the porch. Just a few more steps, and you are on the beach. The house even has an outdoor shower right off the private walkway to the beach.

Bring your friends, and even your mother-in-law. With three bedrooms, St. Augustine’s Flamingo Beach House sleeps up to eight guests.

Both your master suite and the second guest bedroom have king beds and private ocean-front balconies. With no neighbors and only nearby dolphins or pelicans to peek in, you’re free to fall asleep with the sliding patio doors ajar and the blinds left open. All the better to enjoy the ocean’s soundtrack and awake to the sunrise, whether from between bleary eyelids or not.

Two full bathrooms and another half bathroom are ideal if traveling with small children. The master suite has a massive soaking bath tub. It’s decadent enough to convert even the most stubborn shower advocates.

Tuck your little ones into two twin beds in third bedroom. Yellow walls and bedspreads in primary colors ensure sweet dreams. The beds are set low to the floor so they’re easier for little legs.

Not only is the kitchen fully stocked with cookware, the house totally wired for Wi-Fi and laundry made easy with in-suite facilities - but restaurants and great day trip options abound within a 15 minute drive or less.
