DON'T JUST VACATION. VACATION WELL.

Welcome to Heaven By The Sea, where “Your Beachfront Adventure Awaits You”. Dreamy days and balmy nights will entrance your mind and captivate your soul…Richly enjoy each moment in your very own tropical oasis.

ONLY A FEW SHORT STEPS TO THE SAND AND SURF

Our property is situated in a private, quiet area. Public beach access is located one mile to the north and one mile to the south of our home. Because of this, there are very few people on the beach in the vicinity. Swim, surf, kayak or fish right from the backyard.

VIEW OUR GUEST COMMENTS

Our guests share their experiences with our home’s features, amenities and accommodations. Many “seasoned” vacation renters have commented that their stay here was their best one.

THE PERFECT BEACH HOUSE WITH ALL THE “BELLS AND WHISTLES”

Four (4) exterior decks offer generous outdoor living space and a myriad of options for outdoor entertaining. Multiple High Definition (HD) televisions, DVD players, and a Digital Video Recorder, finish out this seaside vacation home. Of course, no beach home would be complete without beach chairs, beach towels and beach umbrellas (all included and provided at our location).

FUN, FUN, AND MORE FUN

Enjoy ocean kayaking in one of two (2) provided kayaks. Take a ride on one of our many boogie boards. Don't worry about finding the perfect sized board; we provide twenty (20) boards in assorted sizes! If you like, you can lounge and relax in our oversized outdoor beach hammock or grill a culinary masterpiece on the stainless steel barbeque grill.

KID FRIENDLY

There are two (2) bunk beds, two (2) separate twin sized beds and one (1) full sized bed (downstairs). We provide boogie boards (20), kayaks (3), lifejackets (4), sand toys, recorded Disney movies (on the DVR), and a video game system. All upstairs decks can be completely “enclosed” for small children and pets.

FOCUSED CUSTOMER SERVICE

Work together with the actual owner of the house. If desired, you will be greeted in person upon check in. 24 hour access to the owner (personal cell phone number) during your stay. Quality Control Program ensures that everything is perfect for your arrival.

EXCEPTIONAL DESIGN AND LAYOUT

One of the larger beachfront properties in the area. A unique 4 bedroom and 2 bathroom home offers nearly 1800 square feet of indoor living space. Tropical designer furnishings, artwork and accessories complete this coastal retreat. Two ocean front master suites lie on opposite ends of the home, creating their own private wing and offering exceptional options for multiple couples or families.

A PREMIER LOCATION

Downtown Saint Augustine (a popular tourist destination) is located approximately seven (7) miles to the south; far away enough from the tourist activity, but close enough for a short drive to enjoy the sites if you desired.

TREAT YOURSELF, YOU DESERVE IT

The perfect setting to celebrate an anniversary, family reunion, holiday vacation, or any other special occasion. Created to provide every comfort, convenience and long-lasting memories of a truly enjoyable vacation stay. You are invited to review our past guests experiences.

MISCELLANEOUS

Pet (small dogs only) and Kid friendly. Please, No Smoking. Garage parking not available; however, there is plenty of on-site parking (driveway easily accommodates 6-8 vehicles).

*Renovated lower level has two bedrooms (#5 & #6), one bathroom (#3), and a kitchenette. Downstairs is totally separate with its own entrance, and is available for an additional charge.

Please feel free to e-mail us for more information, if needed. You're invited to watch and enjoy our YouTube video by clicking on the 'Video' tab located at the top; and our Heaven by the Sea Virtual Tour located in the 'Links to more information' area below.

About Fred R.

As the owner of Heaven by the Sea, I would like to welcome you to our lovely home. I am a retired Navy pilot and father of two beautiful children. While stationed in Florida, I absolutely fell in love with the area. I currently live in Saint Augustine, FL and Honolulu, HI (where I was born and raised). I have always lived very close to the ocean and beach all my life. It is my desire to share this unique experience of oceanfront living with others as well. We look forward to your stay with us and welcoming you and your family as our very special guests!

Fred R. purchased this house in 2010
Why Fred R. chose South Ponte Vedra Beach

I chose to purchase a vacation rental in this location because of the private, oceanfront setting offered. The warm weather, tropical breezes and ocean surf made this the ideal location for me. The property is also located in an exclusive ocean side community within minutes to historic Saint Augustine, Ponte Vedra and World Golf Village.

Perfect beach location--5 stars!

Submitted: July 6, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
Our large extended family (11 adults; 2 babies) rented the entire Heaven by the Sea house the week before TS Debby hit. We have stayed at multiple houses in St. Augustine/Crescent Beach/Fernandina Beach through the years, and a few on the Gulf Coast, including some "mansions" with indoor elevators, etc. We are all on tight budgets and our beach week is our one big splurge each year. Fred's house was by far our favorite of all the places we've stayed! Probably the best feature is the proximity to the beach. The pictures on the web just do not do this house justice. When you stand in the upstairs living area and look out through the glass doors, it feels as if you are standing on the top deck of a boat. All you can see is ocean! You can litererally step off the bottom porch and in five steps or less, you are on the beach. It was perfect for our group which included a 6 month old and an 18 month old. As always, sunrises over the Atlantic were breathtaking, as were the sunsets from the back decks overlooking the intracoastal. The fishing from the beach was great this year, too.

The house itself was perfect for our group--comfortable but not worn out; beautifully decorated but not stuffy, and extremely clean. I'm a "bug" freak, and I didn't see the first one all week long. Also, we didn't need to bring any linens or towels...even beach towels are provided!

Fred was the perfect host. He is so friendly, eager to please his guests, and just an all around nice guy. I accidentally left my jewelry when we checked out, and didn't discover it missing until we'd returned home to Georgia. I contacted Fred and he went back to the house, located my jewelry, and made arrangements to meet up with my husband and me at OUR convenience to return it. In this day, it's rare to find such an honest, trustworthy person, and Fred definitely fits the bill.

We rarely stay in the same house twice when we vacation, but we are all already discussing our next trip and that we hope to come back to Heaven by the Sea again. This is definitely a place to spend a relaxing vacation, for travelers of all ages (our group ranged in age from 86 down to 6 months). It's private, yet close enough to St. Augustine and Jacksonville that we didn't feel isolated. Ad if you've never been to downtown St. Augustine, make it a priority while you're in the area. Love, love, love it!

Wonderful beach home on a gorgeous, quiet beach - spectacular views! Fabulous Owner!!

We had a wonderful experience at this home. The house was perfectly represented on line. It was in very good condition, nicely furnished and very comfortable. The color scheme and style of the furnishings gave it a very Florida feel. The home was clean and well stocked with every appliance and utensil you would ever need. Having a laundry room on the premise was a huge benefit. The open floor plan and huge glass sliders gave us beautiful views of the outside. We fell in love with the house as soon as we walked in. There was a wonderful energy present.

The layout of the home makes it perfect for extended families or two couples. Having a master bedroom, guest bedroom and bath at either end of the house creates a wonderful feeling of privacy. The views of the endless beach were breathtaking from the enormous deck, the living room and each of the master bedrooms. The huge kitchen, dining area and living room make a wonderful gathering place for conversation and games

The location was perfect.. The closeness to St Augustine was a bonus. There were several beaches and nature preserves close at hand. CAPS on The Water is a great restaurant down the street that offers delicious food and incredible sunsets. Be sure to check it out. Arrive early enough to get a waterfront table.

We can’t say enough good things about our host, Fred. He was the perfect host, offering to meet us at the house and help us get acclimated. He was extremely attentive to our needs, very accessible by phone and always ready to answer our questions and offer helpful information about the area. He clearly takes pride in this property and is invested in the renters having a wonderful experience, which we definitely did! We would highly recommend this property and hope to return ourselves in the very near future.

What a great vacation! The owner was at the rental when we arrived and was very welcoming and helpful in explaining anything we might need to know about the property. The house was very clean and well maintained and the photos don't really do it justice. There were plenty of extra towels, blankets, pillows, etc. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans as well. The washer and dryer came in very handy as well. We used both the up and downstairs units which gave us plenty of room for our group that ranged from 9-16 people depending on the night. The beach was close and we had lots of room to play. There were very few people other than ourselves on the beach which was nice and we saw dolphin swimming right in front of us almost everyday. The owner also provided lots of boogie boards, etc. for both adults and children to use. The town is about a 15 minute drive but very easy to get to and there are several good sized grocery stores available. We went into town for dinner and shopping and really enjoyed the quaint stores and restaurants. We had GREAT food at both The Raintree and The Columbian restaurants.

This is a great place for families or large groups and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great place to vacation.

My husband and I joined our family at this vacation house for the holidays. We stayed seven days with a total of fifteen people. This house provided ample space for all without feeling cramped. Very clean house right on the beach with absolute amazing sunrises to observe. The kitchen was large enough that two if not three of us were always in the kitchen preparing meals or snacks without being in each other's way. I could not have asked for a better, more relaxing house to spend with my family during the holidays that holds everyone comfortably. Absolute beautiful!!!!

Excellent Value and Vacation Experience

I rented both floors of this beach house over the Christmas holiday for a large family gathering and wouldn't hesitate to return. The owner was very helpful both before and after our rental with excellent communication regarding arrival and departure procedures, a quick tour of property upon arrival, and 24-hour contact information in case we had a problem. The home was perfectly clean, and it is obvious that the owner is continuously upgrading it with new bathroom fixtures, flooring in some rooms, new bedding, etc. The Weber grill was clean and ready to use. The house is well stocked with fun beach stuff although the December weather wasn't too inviting most days!

All in all, this is a very nice and clean property and a great value. Fred was very easy to deal with and went out of his way to make sure I was happy with the property.
