@Ben Temple St. Augustine is a huge tourist destination, but keep in mind the city limits rentals to 7 nights or more. Ponte Vedra Beach and Jacksonville Beach don’t have any minimum night requirements, so if you’re exploring the area, it’s worth checking out properties about 30 minutes north and driving through the Jax beaches. If you see any homes you’d like to tour now or in the future, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help!

Here are the videos from the walkthrough. 2016 build. Previous owners had dogs so there are some scratches on the stairs. The upstairs carpet in the 3 bedrooms should be replaced. One bedroom would need to be replaced right away, the other 2 could wait if needed. Pool and spa area is great. The house is on the corner of a busier intersection but the entire yard - including front is fenced in. Front yard already has turf and would make a great putting green. It's right next to a park with a ton of free parking if needed for larger groups. The driveway would only fit 2 vehicles.

@Emily Fournier Thank you!

@Matt Sanderson Beautiful property and an incredible location—right on the beach and in a good spot between St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach. Since St. Augustine requires a one-week minimum for short-term rentals, being just outside the city limits is a major advantage. The homes along A1A in that area are definitely interesting. We’ve toured several and seriously considered purchasing there, but ultimately chose a different area for a few reasons. The ones we looked at were currently operating as short-term rentals, and the numbers didn’t justify the asking prices. It seemed to be a mix of poor staging, limited amenities and management issues. There’s one large management company that oversees many properties in that stretch. They’ve been around a long time—which likely helps them secure owners—but their pricing strategies, photography, and overall presentation aren't the best. Consistently lower reviews also impact performance, which directly affects revenue potential. That said, I think a well-staged, professionally managed property with strong amenities could perform very well in that market. If there’s any opportunity to add a pool, I would absolutely explore it. I know it can be more challenging on the beach, but I’ve seen pools installed in side yards or even front yards when space allows—and this property appears to have room. Pools are incredibly valuable in the Jax Beach and Ponte Vedra Beach markets, and many of the oceanfront homes along that stretch are missing that feature. With only one or two homes offering a pool, it would be a significant competitive advantage. If a pool isn’t feasible, a hot tub would still be a strong addition. With professional staging and added amenities, I’d estimate a five-bedroom could potentially generate around $250K annually. With a pool, that number could realistically push $300K+ depending on execution and management.
