About this house rental

Fantastic beach-side home! This home is located on the east side of A1A, so is a short 5-10 minute walk to the beach without having to cross any major roads or traffic. It has a fully fenced back yard with a covered back porch. The pool deck is large and perfect for family together time!

This well cared for home features five bedrooms, two full baths and a half bath. The open floor plan features tall ceilings and great flow from the eat-in kitchen to the great room and into the dining area. The living room has a large smart television. The master suite features a large closet, a large bath, also has a television and has a wonderful East facing covered front porch.

There are bicycles for rent, as well, nearby. 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!

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.

The history of St. Augustine is incomparable with almost any other on our coast. Founded in 1565 it is chock full of amazing places to visit, from the oldest house to the first schoolroom, to the impenetrable fort built by the Spanish. Lincolnville, just south of downtown St. Augustine takes you on a walking tour of the history of the civil rights movement noting where Martin Luther King stayed on numerous occasions. Needless to say, there’s also so many unique shops, and the restaurants are so varied and truly have an international flavor! There are things to do no matter the weather! You can take a free boat ride to Fort Matanzas and learn the history about the battles fought on this island about 7 miles south. Further south is Marineland where you can swim with dolphins!

The St. Augustine and St Johns County area have a great variety of golf courses for players of every level and skill. You will never run out of things to do here in St. Augustine. It is probably one of the most beautiful places in all of Florida, and for sure one of the most photographed! Come and see for yourself!

Pets and Service Animals: You must let us know if you are bringing an animal to the home, even if it is a service animal! It's important to let the cleaners know. Up to 2 dogs are allowed with a nonrefundable pet fee. They must be less than 50lbs each and no aggressive breeds. NO CATS! Please do not allow your dogs to jump up onto the beds or couches. If the dogs are accustomed to being allowed on the furniture at home, please bring blankets to protect the surfaces. If you forget to bring blankets, let us know and we will provide you with some. If you bring a pet and do not tell us or pay the fee, we will charge your damage deposit for the pet fee plus $100 for the unexpected extra services required to clean the house.

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.

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. Garbage and recycling must be taken out to the street Sunday night for Monday morning pickup.

Per St Johns County regulations, only ten people are allowed per rental, not counting children 12-years-old or younger. That means this property is allowed up to 10 adults and the rest of the guests must be 12 and under.

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.

EV Charging: There is a fee of $5 per day if you will be charging an electric vehicle at the home.

We recently had a fantastic family beach vacation in Florida, and even though we faced daily rain, our trip was a memorable one. The property exceeded our expectations in many ways. The check-in and check-out processes were seamless, which set the tone for a stress-free stay. Its location was perfect—just a short walk to the beach, and close to downtown St. Augustine with its charming shops and historic sites. We also appreciated the proximity to grocery stores, making it easy to pick up essentials and snacks. One of the highlights of the property was the open dining and living room area. It quickly became the heart of our vacation, where we enjoyed countless board game sessions and family meals. The space was comfortable and inviting, making rainy days feel like cozy opportunities for indoor fun. The kitchen was another standout feature. It was well-stocked with plenty of pots, pans, and basic seasonings, which made cooking our own meals both easy and enjoyable. This thoughtful setup allowed us to prepare delicious family dinners and fully enjoy the time we spent together. Overall, our vacation was a great success. Despite the rain, the combination of a well-equipped property, convenient location, and quality family time made for an unforgettable trip. We highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing beach getaway, no matter the weather!

A college reunion with 4 of my sorority sisters brought us to Villa Elena. Check in was a breeze. David and Patti communicated with me every step of the way. It’s so nice to have owners available to answer questions or give suggestions when needed. The house is exactly as described. Very clean and beautifully decorated. A short walk to a beautiful beach or a lovely pool to swim in or lounge around. The beds were very comfortable and there was plenty of room for meals and watching TV. They supplied lots of towels as well as beach towels that were very nice to have. We Ubered into the city to enjoy the sights. I highly recommend staying here if you are looking for a place close to the beach in a friendly neighborhood.

This was the most memorable vacation of our lifetime! My siblings and I range in age from 57 to 74. The seven of us reunited under the same roof together for a week stay in this beautiful home. It is conveniently located to a private beach, all shopping needs, wonderful restaurants and all the amenities you would need. We enjoyed the wonderful pool and spa and created priceless memories together. The host was always available to us. Would definitely recommend this home for your vacation.

This property was wonderful! David was informative and very responsive. The home was only 10 - 15 minutes from downtown and there was so much to do in St Augustine. The neighborhood was quiet and in a nice area that was a short walk to the beach. The rooms and beds were comfortable, and the house was clean and the owners made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. The pool was our favorite place to be. It is larger than most pools at vacation rentals and it was also well kept. We enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to book this property in the future. Thank you David and Patti for sharing your wonderful home with us! We highly recommend this property!

We had a great stay at this home. Ticked all the boxes, space, pool, beach, and location. Communication was great with owners and property managers. Wish there was downstairs bath/shower. Slight inconvenience, especially for elderly guests. Recommend the stay otherwise

We had a great time staying at this location. It's only 2 blocks from the beach and the house is so nice! We did have an issue with the air-conditioning on the second floor when we first arrived, which was late afternoon. After adjusting the thermostat and waiting, the temp did not go down, but slightly up. So, I got in touch with the owner and they sent a technician the very next morning. When we got back from the beach, the second floor was cool and everything was taken care of. I had a few questions here and there, and the owner responded right away with answers. The entire family loved the pool outside the back door. We enjoyed it every day we were there (and the sauna). If we return to Butler Beach, I would definitely want to stay here again and recommend it to everyone. Great owners, great location, great house!
