Wake up to ocean breezes, grab your coffee, and stroll straight onto the sand from your private beach walkway. Guana Kai is a spacious six-bedroom retreat on a peaceful stretch of South Ponte Vedra Beach — perfect for families and friends who want room to relax, reconnect, and truly unplug. Just minutes from historic St. Augustine, you’ll enjoy the best of beach days and charming coastal adventures.

Welcome to Guana Kai, a welcoming beach home designed for together time, easy living, and unforgettable coastal memories. Located on a quiet, residential stretch of South Ponte Vedra Beach, this spacious six-bedroom, five-bath retreat comfortably sleeps up to 14 guests and is ideal for extended families, multi-generation vacations, or friend groups who love sharing experiences.

The heart of the home is the open main living level, where the family room, dining area, and kitchen flow together — so no one ever feels tucked away. Step onto the ocean-view balcony to sip morning coffee, feel the sea breeze, and watch the light change over the water. Inside, you’ll find a fully stocked kitchen with buffet bar, making it easy to cook big breakfasts, casual lunches, and relaxed family dinners.

Sleeping arrangements are flexible and family-friendly with two king bedrooms, a two-queen bedrooms, a queen bedroom, a room with twin daybed with trundle, and a fun bunk-style room with four twin beds — perfect for kids, cousins, or late-night giggle sessions.

After a day in the sun, gather in the game room with pool table, stream a movie, or simply unwind with a board game and good conversation. Wi-Fi throughout the home keeps everyone connected when needed — but the beach tends to steal the spotlight.

One of Guana Kai’s most loved features is the private beach walkway leading directly from the side yard over the seawall and onto the sand. This peaceful stretch of shoreline has no nearby public access points and is lined only with private homes, giving you a quieter, more relaxed beach experience — ideal for morning walks, shell hunting, sunrise photos, and long, lazy afternoons by the surf.

When you’re ready to explore, historic St. Augustine’s shops, restaurants, museums, and waterfront attractions are just a short drive away, making it easy to blend beach life with charming coastal adventures.

Whether you’re building sandcastles, sharing sunset dinners on the balcony, playing pool after dark, or simply soaking up slow mornings by the ocean, Guana Kai is the kind of place where memories naturally happen.

Note: Gas grill is in the garage and is to be used in the driveway on A1A side. We are remote, wifi based calling will work best.

    This was our families 2nd year staying here and we again had a wonderful time. The house suits our needs, size and ages very well: 14 people from 3yrs to senior citizens. You can't beat the access to the beach even though the weather was not as good as last year. There are plenty of activities to do nearby.

    The pictures don’t do the views justice! Really enjoyed falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves. The host Kat, was very pleasant to work with and was kind enough to deliver a brand new grill for our stay. I had a blast starting and finishing my days with a dip in the ocean. The location was perfectly placed halfway between TPC sawgrass and the world golf village

    The house and location were beautiful but there were some maintenence issues but that were addresed right away. We had some strong storms that caused several spots in the house to leak some water. Besides those few issues the house was perfect for a group of 10 women. Well stocked, beautifully furnished, plenty of beach chairs, location to the water and plenty of room. We would definitely rent this property again.

    This was our fourth time staying at this lovely beachfront house. The house is beautiful and it's so nice to be so close to the beach and so close to many good restaurants and shops. The house needs a deep clean and the grass needed to be mowed, but other than that, as always, it is a wonderful place to stay!

    This house was perfect for our large family and you can’t beat the view. Would recommend this place to anyone. It’s in a perfect location and so convenient for daily beach access being right on the water. The few negatives we had was hot water was limited and would frequently run out. The beds weren’t very comfortable and could be updated but this could be just our personal preferences. The downstairs bedrooms could be swapped with downstairs master and downstairs room with double queens. Rooms are the same size but double queen room has a bigger and nicer bathroom better suited for downstairs master. Garage fridge leaks some water but is a non issue and a couple roaches were found in upstairs master bedroom. Overall house was amazing and hope to stay again. Only other issue was limited cell signal outside the house but this isn’t a house issue but people should be aware when staying at this location.

    This was a great house and location for our family vacation to Saint Augustine. There are great views from the decks and it felt like the beach was a private beach. Very easy access to Saint Augustine. Would definitely come back.

    Overall a wonderful stay! Location on beach with quiet & privacy was wonderful! There were some issues that needed fixing in the home which I had read in a previous review & repair wasn’t made so that was a little disappointing. All in all it’s a beautiful & spacious home! We would rent again & I plan to email the property manager a list of the items which need addressed . Since it’s early in the season hopefully those can be remedied for guests to follow. Definitely a great week!

    We absolutely loved our stay at Guana Kai Beach House! The house was perfect for our group of 14 and the beach was great! It was so nice to have beach chairs, toys and towels provided. It was raining when we arrived early evening of our first day, but that didn't stop this group! We had a hard time tearing ourselves away from the beach, but we did go into town one day and that was also fun! We would really love to come back!

    We loved being right on the beach with the closest public access far enough away that it almost seemed like our own private beach. Great restaurants a very short drive away. House was very well updated with comfy beds, and very clean. We’ll definitely look to stay at this same place in the future.

    Overall a good house but the small deficiencies started to add up. Front door electric lock was dead. Said they are sending maintenance. Never showed. Had to fix ourselves. The shower in the upstairs bathroom needs replacing. Could not redirect water to shower headKilled multiple roaches throughout the propertyHot water wasn’t consistent. Some days there is plenty, others it’s freezingBacksliding glass door has broken handle. Was unlocked when we checked in and discovered it openThe house did provide a grill, beach equipment and adequate kitchenware so it wasn’t a total bust. Consider this place your second or third option when choosing. Like stated before, could’ve been a great house but the small problems added up which overshadowed to cost paid for the duration of our stay.

    Outlets dont work in bathroomsShower heads bad in 3 bathroomsInternet spottyCockroaches not palmetto bugs on lower levelLarge Ants upstairs bathroomThe appliances in Kitchen are very difficult to UseLight in kitchen needs to be fixedCeiling bugs and cobwebs in kitchen I was told I could not check out later then 9:30am because they needed to clean for next person yet the place was not clean when we checked in. I have stayed in many beach properties with 5 bedrooms and more on the ocean and this was by far the least clean and useful. I did not bother to notify manager based on how they treated me for a later check out. 9:30 am is the earliest I have had to check out in all my years of renting.

    Plenty of space for our group of 9 and pup! Really enjoyed the downstairs game area and large kitchen. Appliances can be a little complicated, but the “how to” guides were very appreciated. Kat was beyond accommodating for our very last minute reservation! In addition, her communication was extremely timely and saved our weekend celebration!

    This house was just perfect! Had more than enough room for our large family and a well stocked kitchen. The bedrooms and bathrooms were amazing and well kept. The decks I think were the best part. Turly best decks i have experience in my many travels! Location was great. Right on the beach, easy access too!
