Riverfront Paradise, Private Dock - Up to 30' Boat, Heated Pool, 1 mile to Beach, Separate Cottage!
We help make the most of your vacation by providing Free Admission to some of the area's top attractions each and every day! Create exciting memories, have more fun, and truly experience your destination! See below for more details!
If you are looking for a relaxing little bit of paradise where you can enjoy boating, surfing, and swimming, you have found the perfect vacation spot! ParadiSea is newly furnished as the perfect hub from which to rest and enjoy spending family-time, while also taking in the sights and smells of the ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway, and nearby historic attractions in the Old City of St. Augustine. Spend lazy days around the private pool while watching the wildlife or boats on the river. Bring your own boat and dock it right at the home and enjoy daily outings fishing, swimming at the nearby Matanzas Inlet, or cruising down to the Old City. Spend the afternoon at the beach, just one mile to a neighborhood private access point, or a one mile ride to drive on access. Spend fun family-time at the house playing ping-pong, corn hole, having a cookout, and enjoying movie-time curled up on the large sectional in the family room.
ParadiSea has four bedrooms and two bathrooms in the main house, but also features cottage, separated from the main home by a courtyard, and outfitted with a queen bed and bathroom. The main house has a split plan, with the River View Master on one end of the home, two other bedrooms and a bathroom on the other end of the home, and a bunk room (Twin XL over Queen w/separate Twin over Twin bunk bed) separated from the other sleeping spaces, and convenient for four kids or 2-3 adults.
Nearby Endless Summer Surf Station surfing school offers surfing lessons, and board and electric bike rentals, great for riding along the beach and enjoying the sites! The area is also a fisherman's paradise and offers plenty of variety between surf fishing and river fishing. Frank Butler Park is adjacent to the neighborhood and has a boat ramp, floating dock, picnic tables and restrooms. Kayak, canoe, and fishing gear rentals, along with another river dock are available at nearby Genung's Fish Camp. Pizza, great seafood, Italian, and southern fare are all located within a mile of the condo. Grocery stores are located within a 10 minute drive.
Please note: Although the bunk bedframes are solid wood and can support up to 400lbs, the top bunks are ideal for youth. Please take care when entering and exiting the bunk beds to ensure the safety of your entire group.

Wonderful Property right on the water with a dock and boat ramp (although we didn't have a boat), was perfect for the kids especially in the bunk bed room off the foyer- they loved it! Will definitely recommend and likely book future trips here! The company was very communicative and responsive and the welcome pack of coffee and vouchers for things to do in the area was a pleasant surprise :)

Wonderful property, worked perfectly for our group of 6 women. The outdoor space was fantastic and really made it a great fit for us. The house itself could use some updating/refreshing (paint, carpet) but that didn't impact our stay at all. We were even able to walk to the beach (less than 1 mile). We would absolutely stay here again.

my siblings and i rented this home to house all of us with our spouses to celebrate my mom’s 60th birthday. we loved the way the house was laid out allowing a room for each of us. the bathroom in the separate cottage is not closed in with a door but it worked well since only one couple stayed in that room with their pets. the furniture and decor has been updated making the house feel more homey. the full kitchen was great considering we cooked every night. however, some utensils and cookware needed to be updated. for example the cooking knives were all very dull. we had an issue on arrival where the main room tv was not working (completely broken). the team sent out someone quickly and the tv was immediately replaced. we appreciate that with this issue and a couple other small things they were all addressed quickly and professionally!overall we had a great experience and would stay at this property again!

We were very disappointed in the condition of the house. For the price that we paid we all felt that the property needs some major upgrades. Dirty, stained carpets, lots of wear and tear on doors, cabinets, etc. Outdoor area was very nice and that is the reason for 3 stars and not 2.

Beautiful home to celebrate my Mom's birthday over the long weekend! Loved the house, the amenities, the view! Dock for fishing, the fire pit for a night cap and relax. We used the kitchen and grill for all our meals, enjoyed the kitchen. The kids loved the bunk room! Our host were wonderful and easy to communicate! The house is perfectly decorated with it's simplicity. Loved ParadiSea!!

WOW!! A! Communication was fantastic and the home was amazing. Location was great and the sunsets were beautiful. This was our family vacation and we never felt crowded. The cottage added that extra wow to the home. Would like a little more backyard lighting for swimming at night. Maybe some string lights. This is a minor detail though. We will be staying here again. We have finally found our family vacation home.

Great experience for our family
This house was perfect for our big group! The sunsets were absolutely incredible here, it made us not want to leave the house at all. The house was super clean, spacious, and in a great location. Host was super responsive as well. My only gripe was that the kitchen is pretty minimally stocked so we had to buy a few things to make sure there were the necessities. They do give you a heads up on that to plan accordingly so it wasn't an issue for our group.

Great home away from home
Loved our stay! We were close to the beautiful and not overcrowded Butler Beach. Enjoyed the day in Historic St. Augustine. The pool and the house were a great! We loved the river it was on. We saw dolphins daily and the boys caught fish and crabs. *Things to know- they're were only 8 beach towels. Bring your own blankets, if you get that "after sun" chill. Needed to buy some kitchen utensils but no biggie!

Nice property. Enjoyed pool and especially fishing.
Loved the house. Had extra family come in to stay in the cottage as well. The location was great for us as it was close to nice restaurants but also offered enough to do atthehouse it kept us occupied. Pool and ping pong table for the kids then fishing from the dock or Kayak us. Only tough part is when the tide comes in it’sreally shallow around the dock to where you cannot dock a boat but fishing is better if you rent kayaks and fish around the sheep beds and islands. Caught big red fish and jacks(trash fish but still fun to fight ) We will definitely stay here again.

5 stars across the board
We loved the location, very peaceful setting, extremely close to beach, restaurants and local attractions. The home was exceptionally clean and as we stayed for a few weeks we appreciated that the kitchen was stocked with plenty of cooking utensils that are often overlooked, and plenty of towels. I highly recommend the 3 mile drive down A1a for sunrise at the beautiful sparsely populated beach across from entrance for Fort Matanzas, and sunsets poolside. I would not hesitate to rent again.
