There certainly isn’t a crowd at Ocean Pearl in St. Augustine Beach. With two floors, four bedrooms, and two additional sleeper sofas, this beachfront house can sleep up to thirteen people with ease, making it ideal for a multi-family vacation, a wedding party, or a school reunion.

Although the house was recently updated and professionally decorated by the owner, who has an interior-design background, sandy feet, and wet swimsuits are definitely allowed. That’s a good thing, given that in addition to overlooking Crescent Beach—there’s even a private walkway to its white sands—Ocean Pearl has its own in-ground pool. You can catch some ocean waves in the morning, then enjoy a luxurious swim in privacy at night. Perfection!

In addition to the roomy patio surrounding the pool, Ocean Pearl has decks spanning the front of the house on both the second and third floors. There you can relish the fresh ocean breeze while enjoying a drink and watch seabirds and surfers alike on the beach; the house is in fact located just off a popular surfing spot, so don’t forget your board.

Of course, you can savor the ocean views from inside as well. The open-plan third floor has a wealth of windows as well as a spacious living room with roomy couches (one of which converts to a bed for one) and a 50” HDTV. Adjacent is a dining area and an open kitchen with a breakfast bar. You can serve the kids at the breakfast bar before joining the adults at the dining table—a setup certain to make everyone happy. With its sparkling appliances and gleaming counters, the fully equipped kitchen will make anyone who enjoys cooking happily as well. There’s grocery shopping nearby, so feel free to stock up on all the food you’ll need for your stay; there’s plenty of room in the fridge, the freezer, and the cabinets to store it all.

Also on the third floor is the master suite, complete with a king-size bed, a TV, and patio doors that open onto the deck—because nothing’s more romantic than enjoying the moonlight sparkling on the ocean in the arms of that special someone. The en-suite bathroom has both a slipper tub for long, relaxing soaks and a shower for when you want to quickly kick-start the day.

Three additional bedrooms are on the second floor, one with a king-size bed, one with a queen bed, and the third with a double bed and a single. All three rooms have their own HDTVs—no squabbling over what to watch. Two full bathrooms are on this floor as well. There’s even a second sitting room with its own 50” HDTV, perfect for the kids to hang out. A sofa in this room converts into a bed as well.

The ground floor has a spacious entryway—talk about making a fabulous first impression!—

Ocean Pearl is so luxurious, you may be tempted to spend hours, if not days, lazing and lounging inside, on its decks, or in its pool. But because of its prime location—we did mention the private walkway to the beach, right?—there’s plenty to do nearby. The house is just off the stunning A1A Scenic Highway. Nearby you’ll find Marineland, St. Augustine Lighthouse, and a wealth of parks for biking, hiking, and bird-watching, as well as historic St. Augustine, the nation’s oldest city. Even the Orlando theme parks are just a day trip away.

Whether you’re planning a relaxing getaway, a family fun fest, or a chance to spend quality time with the gang, Ocean Pearl is a perfect place for it, combining easy living with extraordinary luxury.
