Driftwood | Wren Beach Rentals by Portoro

Summary:
The perfect beach getaway!
* Wake up to coffee and a stunning sunrise.
* Spend all day lounging on the beach and cooling off in the ocean.
* Wind down with a gourmet dinner overlooking the water.
Embrace the essence of coastal living in this classic 3 br home. Directly on the beach, this home features spectacular views and plenty of space to make lasting memories.

The Space:
This 3 bedroom 3 bath oceanfront home is located in the oceanfront community of South Ponte Vedra Beach, between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. It is situated in a private area of single family homes (no high rises or high traffic here!)! It is serene and quiet, yet the house is just 7 miles from historic St. Augustine and 15 miles from posh Ponte Vedra.

“Driftwood” has a unique floor plan that offers plenty of privacy in each of the three bedrooms, and has a very inviting social area in the living room and the oceanfront sun room. The house was remodeled in the Spring of 2015. Driftwood is decorated in wonderful ocean colors, and each room has it’s own character. The living room features comfy leather sofas and chairs which surround a large flat screen TV. There is a stereo with CD player, plus books, and games for the entire family to enjoy. The oceanfront sunroom has a daybed, perfect for snuggling up with a book, or stretching out for a lazy nap. There is also a work space for your lap top, should this be a working vacation. Free WIFI is available throughout the house. There is a decorative (non-functional) fireplace with a stunning mantle made from a 300-year old piece of drift wood.

The remodeled galley kitchen is fully equipped with everything that the most demanding chef could request. The solid surface counter tops and cabinets are new. There is plenty of counter top space for food prep. The kitchen features a full size refrigerator, plus there is an additional fridge in the garage for extra groceries. There is a glass-top stove, overhead microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and more. There is a door that leads outside to the gas grill. We provide the propane for the grill. There is a laundry room off of the kitchen, so you can keep those sandy bathing suits clean. The dining area features a beautiful wood dining table with seating for 8.

The master suite is on the ocean side of the house, so you can listen to the sounds of the ocean at night. The king bed is covered with plush, comfy bedding and pillows. The remodeled master bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower. The second bedroom features a very cozy queen bed and full bathroom. There is a shower-tub combination in this bathroom. The third bedroom has a full size bed with a pull out trundle underneath. This room is great for teens, children, or a young couple. There is a full bathroom in this suite as well, featuring a walk in shower. Every bedroom in the house has a flat screen Smart TV with basic cable provided by Comcast.

The back yard is a wonderful place to gather. There is are two wood decks that overlook the yard and the Atlantic Ocean. One deck features a beautiful teak patio set with plenty of seating. The other deck has recliners for you to work on your tan. The back yard has a brand new bulk head, with just a few stairs that lead you down to your own beach. Other amenities include: optional temporary beach club membership, 2-car garage, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, toys, 4 TVs, high speed Internet, books, games, and more.

Experience the beauty of sandy shores where you can swim, sunbathe, surf, paddleboard, and fish. Take leisurely walks along the beach to discover treasures like shark teeth, sand dollars, and sea glass.

Explore Anastasia State Park for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, birdwatching, and picnicking in a stunning coastal setting.

Discover the rich history of Historic St. Augustine by visiting landmarks like Castillo de San Marcos, St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, and the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.

Stroll down St. George Street, a pedestrian only thoroughfare in the heart of the historic district, lined with charming shops, restaurants, galleries, and historic sites.

Immerse yourself in the Gilded Age at the Lightner Museum, housed in a historic hotel, showcasing a diverse collection of art, antiques, and artifacts.

Experience the thrill of getting up close to alligators, crocodiles, and exotic animals at St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, which also offers educational shows, zip lines, and exhibits of native Florida wildlife.

Take a scenic short ferry ride to Fort Matanzas National Monument, a historic Spanish fort located on Rattlesnake Island. Learn about its role in protecting St. Augustine during the colonial period while enjoying views of the surrounding marshlands.

Indulge in delicious cuisine at the many restaurants in St. Augustine, cafes, and eateries. From fresh seafood to international fare, there is something to satisfy every palate, including popular spots like 180 Vilano Grill and Pizza, Briskys BBQ, and Beaches at Vilano.

The best place we have ever stayed!

This house has everything you could possibly need. The access to the beach is wonderful. Plenty of room for everyone to have their own space. Everything is super clean. We will stay here every time we come to Jacksonville/St. Augustine it is so convenient to both places but it’s in a quiet area without all the hustle and bustle of being in the city.

Beautiful house in a stunning position

Stayed at Driftwood in December 2024. Gorgeous house in a stunning position right on the coast. The house was extremely clean and well appointed, with plenty of space for everyone. The views are amazing and it was a pleasure to sit on the outside deck watching and listening to the surf. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped to enable the cooking of Christmas dinner! We had a very enjoyable stay and would recommend to anyone.Although the location is within an easy drive of amenities, it is 6 miles along a very long, straight road to the nearest supermarket, maybe another couple of miles and you're in the centre St Augustine. Wasn't an issue for us, but worth bearing in mind.

Great Location

The location was perfect. While there may have been a beach issue in the past, there was a revitalization project a few months ago and that is not an issue. The road noise was not an issue. The place could use a good deep clean but was acceptable considering the turnover of vacationers on a regular basis.

Disappointing Beach

Nice little house, very clean and comfortable. Very low water pressure or only a trickle of water if a shower, dishwasher etc is running. Surf comes all the way up to the property so you can only access the beach when tide is out. Surf was very rough and we couldn’t swim any day during our stay. Lovey seating area out back and we spent most of our time there. Very busy road out front.

great location, nice amenities, comfortable furnishings

We only stayed a few nights but had great weather. We had dinner in St. Augustine several times ( Sainte George , the Floridian, and Metro Diner). All easy to drive to and parking in the garage kept us close to many places. We will definitely visit again for a longer stay. For those with children, there is a ton of equipment in the garage for surf play and high chairs, etc inside. Not our thing but good to know.

BEAUTIFUL HOME

Most enjoyable relaxing vacation we've had in long time and much needed. The house is as the pictures say it is and very comfortable and up to date with everything. Having the beach right out our back door was a BIG plus and very private. Thank you so much and we WILL be returning and plan if available to make this our vacation home from now on.

Lovely Home With an Unbelievable View

We very much enjoyed staying at Driftwood. You cannot beat the view or the positioning of the house. We had never seen houses this close to the water! It was lovely and the owners are generous people, encouraging you to use whatever you need to make your stay better. We went in February so the beach was almost empty and it was very quiet. It is worth noting that the street directly behind the house is busy. We could hear the traffic inside the house. Also, it is hard to realize this looking at the photos, but the kitchen and the eating area are not connected. This is not a deal-breaker, but it was surprising to see that we would have to carry our food down a hallway and turn two corners to get to the table. Just worth noting, I think. We had an air conditioning issue while were at Driftwood, and David was on it immediately. I appreciated the care given to the issue being resolved quickly. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Driftwood, and would return. It was a good week!

Perfect Sequestration Vacation Location

Like most people this summer we’ve been locked down and thoughtful about where we go. We needed a location that was private and a little secluded with direct beach access. This house perfect for us. The listing is accurate, the home feels bigger than expected because of the floor plan and great windows. We particularly appreciated how well stocked the house was. We rent a lot of homes and often end up making runs to The store for sponges, trash bags etc. This house was fully supplied including wipes and cleaning products. The property manager was accessible and reassuring when we were worried about a tropical storm during our stay. The only warning (very minor) is the beach is full of shells at high tide so you will need water shoes till you swim past them. During low tide, there is plenty of sandy beach. Would def stay here again.

Beautiful, immaculate beach home with very private beach

Beautiful beach home! So clean and all the amenities anyone would need. I appreciated the top-end kitchen appliances. This was by far the best-stocked kitchen in terms of equipment that I've experienced in all the rentals we've booked. Plenty of beach towels, chairs and beach toys meant we didn't have to pack all of that in our car. You couldn't be any closer to the ocean unless you were in it. We practically had the beach to ourselves every day. And so close to St. Augustine for these history buffs. Would definitely recommend booking this home. Would be happy to use Wren Realty again as well. Very smooth transaction and great communication. Thanks for an amazing week!
