Vacation Rental Description

Recent renter comments, MANY FROM VACATIONERS RETURNING FOR THE SECOND, 
THIRD AND FOURTH TIMES.....

From some world travelers:    After a while it gets to be a bit hectic which is why the 
high point (of the year) was spending some time at the Salerno's house on the beach.  
It was relaxing and peaceful to watch the dolphins jump and feed; pelicans glide just 
above the surface of the water - when they feed they extend their lower jaw, plopping 
in the water as they catch the fish; other birds diving vertically.  The house is far from 
any city so we were able to see the stars like we hadn't in years....The Milky Way...
just a myriad of pinpoints that you can't quite focus on.  Dec 2007

We still have fond memories of our stay at your house.  I'm hoping we can come back
some time for another visit.   The beach was glorious and the house perfectly set up to 
take advantage of it.  Nov 2007

My 46th birthday was Friday the 8th and Richard somehow managed to have NASA 
send up the  Space Shuttle in my honor!  We walked the beach and took pictures of it 
going off around 7:40...all the other beach walkers were so friendly and it was a real 
party atmosphere; who could have wished for a better birthday candle than that one!
June 2007

I just wanted to let you know how much fun we had at your beautiful beach house.   It 
was the absolute best vacation my family has ever had.   My kids loved the beach and 
were able to find a lot of shark's teeth and fantastic shells.   They want to return to 
the beach house again next year, but they want to stay longer! -  Joel and Suzanne 
April 2007

We found over 300 shark teeth, some fossils I've yet to identify and about 2 pounds 
of wonderful sea glass....Richard caught his biggest Whiting ever.  We feasted on 
Whiting, Flounder and shrimp for a couple days....We kayaked in Guana on several 
evenings at sunset and it was quite breathtaking.  I shot about 500 pictures with my 
Nikon during our time there. -  Richard and Lori, returning guests   December 2006
We wanted to let you know what a great time we had at your beach house.  Having 
two whole weeks this year was fantastic...I love to beach comb and we found 707 
shark teeth this year. - Richard and Lori    July 6, 2006

My family still cannot stop talking about the beach house - months later.  It was the 
best family vacation we ever had.  I wanted to see if we could reserve a couple of 
weeks (for next summer.) - Jeff and Julia, returning guests    November 2006
I just wanted to let you know that we really had a wonderful time in your beach 
house. The location is terrific for a peaceful, private experience.  My children couldn't 
get enough of the beach and felt right at home in the house. - Jeff and Julia    July  
2006

We really enjoyed your beach house.  We lived outside on the decks and the beach.  
What I loved was that no matter where you stand in the house, there is a view of the 
ocean.....You will probably be hearing from us again!

"We had a great time at your beach house!!!... We saw several schools of 
dolphin and loved watching the birds diving for fish... My husband and 8 year old 
fished and caught quite a few fish within minutes of putting their lines in the water."




Oceanfront beach house surrounded by Guana Lake State Park.  Enjoy views 
of the beach from either your second story expansive deck (50' x 12') or third 
story master suite private deck; watch the sunset over the park from the second 
floor front deck.  

This spacious home, over 2500 sq.ft., has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, kitchen, dining area 
and 2 living areas with see-through stone fireplace.  Oceanside living room has 
stereo, television, vcr/dvd, and full size futon for added sleeping.  Parkside 
play room has 2 story cathedral ceiling, ping-pong table and assorted games and 
books.  (Be sure to check out the old-fashioned wood building blocks in the living 
room coffee table.)  Completing the main floor area is the bedroom wing which has 2 
bedrooms, one with twin beds and one with queen size bed, and shared bathroom 
with shower.  

The third floor master bedroom suite has a queen size bed, stone fireplace, master 
bath with shower and jacuzzi and private oceanside deck with views to St. Augustine. 

Ground floor consists of two single car garages with automatic opener, laundry room 
with coin-operated washer and dryer and a self-contained ground floor apartment

Activities and Attractions

Your own dune walkover takes you directly from the deck to the beach where 
you can enjoy swimming, surfing, fishing, running and walking.  In town, 
kayaks are available for daily or weekly rental.  Launch right out your back 
door and kayak in the middle of dolphins or take your kayak 1 mile down the 
road and explore Guana Lake. The park has a newly opened Marine Science Museum 
and Education Center.  The day we went the telescope was set up to view the bald 
eagle pair in their nest.  Also available in the state park are miles of 
trails great for walking, running, or mountain-bike riding.  The park is full of 
wildlife;  in winter migrating birds are plentiful,  year round you’re likely to see 
wild boors and armadillos.  

This home is located approximately 20 minutes from  St.  Augustine.  
Here you can visit the Castillo De San Marcos National Monument.   Walk 
down St. George Street and visit the restored Spanish homes and shops.  
Take a guided carriage tour of  the historic district.  Dine at a variety of restaurants, 
from fresh seafood to continental cuisine.

For a more recent historical experience visit Florida’s first commercial
attraction built in the 1950s, Marineland.   While in this area visit 
Fort Matanzas and Washington Oaks State Park.
   
Other historical sites abound in the "First Coast" area.  
Take a short trip to Ft. Caroline National Monument, Ribault Park, Kingsley 
Plantation and Ft. Clinch, where history reenactors take you back in time--
a quick ferry ride from Mayport across the St. Johns River.  While on 
this stretch of north Florida islands, visit Fernandina Beach.

Rainy Day?  Outlet Malls are a short drive,  as is the World Golf Village where 
you can visit the golf museum or relax at the IMAX movie.

Twenty minutes north you are in Ponte Vedra Beach, home of the American 
Tennis Professionals.  Tournament Players Championship is a world class 
golfing event that takes place every spring.  If football is your 
sport, the Jacksonville Jaguars play in downtown Alltel Stadium.  

While downtown take a ride on the Skyway.  For 30 cents you can get a bird's eye 
view of downtown.  Stroll the Riverwalk from downtown to historic Five Points and 
enjoy the river.  Walk across the river and ride the water taxi back.  Kids love MOSH 
(right by the big fountain and pool across from the Landing) an interactive science 
and history museum. Eat outdoors at the Landing.  Visit the Cummer Museum nearby; 
the children's interactive art area is fabulous! 

Be sure to check out the Northeast Florida activities book in the house.  Not only does 
it list everything, it has discount admissions for many family activities!  You will not 
be disappointed.
