A private boardwalk runs from the backyard onto the sand at Porpoise Point, the quiet northern tip of Vilano Beach, and Ocean Sunrise sits right at the start of it, directly on the ocean. The three story home spreads 2,900 square feet across a layout built for families and groups who want everyone under one roof with room to breathe.

The open living and dining areas connect to a large oceanfront deck, so the water stays in view from morning coffee through dinner. The kitchen is fully equipped with stainless appliances and granite counters, with bar seating for five and a dining table that seats eight. Five bedrooms and three full baths sleep up to twelve. On the top floor, the primary bedroom has a king bed, its own bathroom, and a private terrace at the front of the house, with an adjoining loft that holds a gaming table and a queen sleeper sofa above the living room. The middle floor has two queen bedrooms beside a full bath. The ground floor has a king bedroom and a second room with two twin beds, sharing a nearby bath.

Day to day comforts are covered: central air and heat, Wi-Fi, television, a washer and dryer, linens and towels, and an iron. Parking is easy with a driveway and an attached garage. The home is pet friendly for an additional pet fee, so the dog can come along.

Porpoise Point is one of the more distinctive corners of Vilano Beach, good for swimming, surfing, and fishing, with a calmer inlet beach a short walk away and long views back toward the historic city. Vilano Road keeps a grocery store, a surf shop, and a handful of restaurants close by, and the Vilano Fishing Pier is a local favorite for sunsets. Downtown St. Augustine, with the Castillo de San Marcos and St. George Street, is just over the bridge.
