Imagine days filled with ocean breezes, salty kisses, sandy toes and a luxurious space sitting high above the ocean's vista to relax and spend your days. Above The Vista sits above its sister property Vista Mar, a smaller but popular favorite of many of our guests. Above the Vista is a breath taking home with everything necessary to create the perfect vacation spot at the beach! Begin with the view which takes center stage across the front of the home. And sunrises you will enjoy, beyond words!

Upon entry you will find a set of stairs to take you to the home. The stairway opens to a great room with spacious living room, nicely sized kitchen plus generous island, and dining area. There is a TV above the fire place (fireplace is not for guest use) that is a smart TV and can be seen from all rooms. There are stools at the island bar for eating or just chatting with the chef in the family. Most spectacular and what will stop you in your tracks. The view!! From everywhere in the room/rooms, you have an amazing view of the Atlantic Ocean and the beach. This is no ordinary view. This is spectacular! Across the entire front of the home there are floor to ceiling sliding glass doors that lead to a covered balcony. With all that glass the view is immense. It is all you see and almost like a picture save for the fact that you will see the waves rolling in, one after the next. To say it is breathtaking is an understatement. Early risers will delight in the awesome sunrise that Mother Nature brings front and center, as if just for you.
From the great room you will find a hallway that will take you to the 3 bedroom and 2 full bathrooms. The master bath is en suite and in the master bedroom you will also find a door to the upstairs back balcony. This overlooks the back yard which is accessible to the ground floor, Vista Mar, guests, and is the sister property to Above the Vista. It is a nice quiet space to relax and catch a sunset as well.
Downstairs parking is on the property and should host about 4 cars depending upon the size.

Once in you may access the entire home save for the one cleaners closet which is locked.

Above the Vista, appropriately named as it sits above its sister property, Vista Mar, is located in the quiet Butler Beach section of St Augustine. Away from the commercial section of St Augustine Beach, you will find the beaches more quiet, and have moments of owning it all to yourself. Rejoice! You have left the crowds behind and are in a beautiful vacation resort with sunshine and sea gulls instead of tourists and buildings!! A walk to the ocean is just a few minutes or less and restaurants and shopping is by car just within five minutes. Downtown will take about 15 minutes by car and do stop and see it, as it is filled with history and a beauty all of its own. From a beach with miles of white sand in either direction, sea oats and sunrises, you will find downtown exciting with a huge energetic vibe. A plethora of restaurants to tantalize your taste buds and shops that will make you forget your budget. The art galleries boast everything from famous artists to local artisans who are amazing. Tiny cobblestone streets, horse and buggy rides where the drivers will tell you all about the nation's oldest city and take you to places you have only imagined. The fort, the pirate ship tour, ghost tours and more. Downtown is definitely a place to see. But while downtown is an attraction of its own, don't discount the restaurants close by Above the Vista. Some of our personal favorites are The Purple Olive, The Elk House Eatery, Commanders Shellfish Camp and Bistro 206 to name a few. And only five minutes away and still on the island you have an abundance of restaurants as well. Trust whether you eat in or venture out there are plenty of restaurants to suit everyone! On the island minutes away you will also find many beach shops, grocery stores, hair salons and spas, nail shops and so very much more. This location is most perfect. Nice and quiet and so close to everything else you will want or need for your perfect vacation stay!
