About this property
Tucked right on the sand, Turtle Tides is a dreamy beachside escape where you’ll wake to the sound of the surf and fall asleep to moonlight dancing on the waves. Set within a spacious townhouse with its own private entrance, this three-bedroom home is all about effortless barefoot living, with panoramic ocean views and that oh-so-rare feeling that the beach is yours and yours alone.
Inside, the living space is warm and inviting, with a wall of windows that frame the Atlantic like a moving painting. Comfortable sofas invite you to sink in and gaze out to sea, while the décor nods to the coast with wicker, driftwood tones and ocean-themed art. The dining area and breakfast bar offer plenty of room for gathering together, and the kitchen is fully stocked for family meals, pancake mornings and coffee-with-a-view moments.
Bedrooms are bright and simply styled, with soft linens and ceiling fans to keep the air breezy. There’s a large master with sliding doors that open straight out to the deck, where you can sip your morning coffee as the sun rises over the water. A cheerful yellow guest room and a fun bunk room sleeping four make this a brilliant setup for families or friends travelling together.
Step outside, and the beach is quite literally on your doorstep. Stroll down your private boardwalk, feel the sand beneath your feet and let the tide take your troubles. After a day of sun and sea, rinse off in the outdoor shower, fire up the barbecue, or settle in on the deck with a drink in hand and nothing but sky and surf for company. The deck space is shared with the neighbouring townhouse, but still offers plenty of privacy and unbeatable views.
Whether you’re book-in-hand or boogie-board-ready, Turtle Tides captures that nostalgic seaside magic, the kind that makes you want to stay just a little longer.
Set along a quiet and untouched stretch of Florida’s east coast, Turtle Tides offers the rare joy of direct oceanfront living, no roads, no traffic, just sand and sea on your doorstep. Positioned between two charming coastal towns, historic St. Augustine to the north and laid-back Flagler Beach to the south, you’re perfectly placed for both relaxation and adventure.
The beach here is blissfully uncrowded, ideal for morning walks, shell collecting, surfing or simply lounging with the sound of the waves as your soundtrack. It’s not uncommon to spot dolphins gliding offshore or even sea turtles nesting in season, hence the home’s fitting name. Just minutes from your door, there are fishing piers, nature trails and quiet beach parks perfect for picnicking.
If you fancy a little more buzz, take a short drive north to St. Augustine, the oldest city in the U.S., where cobbled streets, colonial architecture and centuries-old landmarks create an atmospheric setting for wandering. Visit Castillo de San Marcos, enjoy a ghost tour or browse the boutiques and galleries around Aviles Street.
To the south, Flagler Beach offers a more surf-town vibe, with quirky shops, live music, friendly beach bars and a laid-back pace that feels a world away from big city bustle. Grab fish tacos at a beachfront shack or spend the afternoon watching surfers carve waves beneath the iconic Flagler Beach Pier.
Golfers are spoiled for choice with scenic courses nearby, while foodies will enjoy the mix of casual seafood spots and hidden gems dotted along the coast. There’s even a local farmers’ market for stocking up on fresh produce and beach snacks.
Whether you’re exploring tidal pools with the kids, birdwatching in nearby preserves, or sipping wine with your toes in the sand, Turtle Tides makes it easy to connect with the slower rhythms of coastal life.
