Villa Elena - Elegant Spacious House by the Beach with Large Pool & Heated Spa!

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.

Enjoyed everything!
A great mini vacation! The house was very nice and spacious. Anytime I had questions, the hosts responded immediately. They were available for anything I needed. The house is literally a couple blocks to the beach. Or get in the pool in the back yard. Friendly neighbors as well. Will definitely use this house again!

Great Christmas/New Year Family Vacation
We all had a GREAT VACATION at the "Elena" 5 bd VRBO house. St Augustine is not hot this time of year, but it's very busy. We made a great investment paying to heat the pool for our stay. The beach is a very short walk away. This house was comfortable for all of us. With the grandkids we were washing clothes almost every day in the large washer & dryer on the second level. There is a smart TV in the living room. We were able sign-in to our streaming services as well to video games. There are plenty of attractions, restaurants and food stores nearby. We were happy we made many reservations before we got here. David is a Great host ! Chuck & Sharon, December 2023

Party of 6
The house was very big with a nice floor plan so we had a lot of space for our group. Everyone had their own room and there were plenty of bathrooms. The kitchen allowed us to prepare breakfast and lunch so we saved some money on eating out for every meal. The keypad lock on the door made it easy to come and go without worrying about getting locked out. A book with suggestions for local attractions and restaurants was super helpful and we loved the 5 minute walk to the beach! Even my 83 year old mother made the walk easily. We had a nice family reunion.

Beautiful!
We had a wonderful stay. This home was well equipped and in the perfect location for a quick walk to beautiful Butler Beach. David was very communicative and super friendly. Located in a nice quiet neighborhood (sitting at the gorgeous and immaculate pool, you can hear the traffic but inside was relatively quiet) Our family really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend. Plenty of room to relax. Thanks again!

Good home for large family
House was comfortable for a large family and was convenient to the beach. Pool and spa were very nice. Only a few small observations. The hot water for the master bathtub did not seem to work, the kitchen dishes, pots and pans were limited and aged and there was no shampoo/conditioner or bath soap (not even travel size) available. Overall, I would book again.

40 Year Family Reunion
Five Stars - Home is beautiful, welcoming, relaxing, and clean. It was perfect for a group of seven friends that hadn't seen each other for 40 years to be together and reminisce. Five big bedrooms. Large kitchen provided plenty of space and everything needed to prepare big meals. Short 5 min walk (2 blocks) to the beach was perfect, followed by a nice dip in the pool. Plenty of outdoor seating. Out of town feel, yet close enough for convenience. Check in and out was seamless, property managers easy to communicate with if needed. We had no issues at this house. Definitely would book again, and Definitely recommend this home.
