Direct Oceanfront ~ Private Walkway ~ Excellent Rates!

Athena by the Sea is a single-level beachfront home designed for relaxed coastal living and easy family getaways. Located directly on St. Augustine Beach, this three-bedroom, two-bath home offers unobstructed views of the sand, sea, and sky, along with a private walkway that leads straight from the backyard to the beach.

Inside, the home features a modern open floor plan that brings everyone together. The living area and dining space both enjoy ocean views, making it easy to gather for movie nights, shared meals, or simply watching the waves roll in. The kitchen is fully equipped for home cooking and opens naturally to the main living space, keeping the group connected throughout the stay.

All three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged on one level for convenience, and the two full bathrooms provide comfort and functionality for families or small groups. A full-size washer and dryer are available in the home, and all bed and bath linens are provided for your stay.

One of the highlights of Athena by the Sea is the screened-in back porch, furnished with ample seating and positioned to capture views in both directions along the shoreline. Whether enjoying a morning coffee or unwinding in the evening, the porch creates the feeling of having your own private stretch of beach.

With driveway parking and a prime beachfront setting, Athena by the Sea delivers comfort, simplicity, and true oceanfront living.

Home was clean and well equipped! You can’t see the ocean from the phone because of the sand dunes but once you get to the beach it’s a great view. Could still hear the ocean from the home which was great. Property manager was responsive and helpful.

The property itself is clean, the check in was easy, and they very detailed instructions on check out, which was very nice. However the issue we had with the property is that there was hidden fee, and we were charged 100 more for having 8 guests, which we were not notified of until they pulled the money from my bank. We were told after that any guests over 7 (the property only stated it could hold so many guests, not that there were extra charges) is 100 more. And they would not make it right. The only issue we have with the property itself is that the “private walkout” doesn’t go all the way to the beach, it stops at a huge sand dune that even blocks the view of the beach. Which is disappointing because the private walkout out was the only reason we booked the place.

This was a quick check in and the stay was amazing! The kitchen has everything you need! We had 4 adults and 2 kids. It’s a perfect location to downtown and there was a dollar general and Winn Dixie close by! Marty’s house was so clean and very home feeling! We will definitely be staying again with him! The sunsets and sunrises from this house were breathtaking!

Lovely

Nice and relaxing. I like staying on the beach. This had a private walk way and a benches where you can sit and enjoy watching the waves! Nice grassy area in back yard for 2 small pup's to walk and do their business as well,on a leash. Dunes are behind so didnt want them running in there lol. Store is down the street so that was a perk . Short drive to town as well. Very well stocked (dishes, pots pans). Would recommend. Oh! Love the screened in porch!! It is the length of the house!
