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.

Great ocean view from home and large deck overlooking the ocean. The cleanliness and communication is what affected this review.
I do a Christian women’s beach retreat every year and we usually do it in Ponte Vedra Beach. This place was absolutely perfect for us. We’ll be back 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!
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
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.
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.
Family loved the house, there were no issues. Nice big open space and the deck with the view of the beach was gorgeous. We loved finding shark teeth on the beach.
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.
Great property for a family get together at the beach. We had 9 people and there was plenty of room for all to be together or find a spot for a little alone time. Cannot beat the location right on a beautiful sandy beach!
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!
The beautiful- very nicely decorated house, with the view “ocean” people long for. The closeness to St Augustine, the restaurants, the historical sites make it the perfect place for a large group. One of the best places I’ve stayed. I want to go back again !
House was very clean and had everything needed for our trip, Kat is very responsive and a great host! Would recommend to any large families that need a place to lodge everyone.

About the host
Hosted by Kat Miller
The owners live in Jacksonville, as do their three grown children and their families. All members of the family enjoy Guana Kai and all it has to offer - so you are spending time in what they consider a very special place!
Why they chose this property
South Ponte Vedra Beach is a beautiful part of northeast Florida. We live in Jacksonville, and we bought Guana Kai so we could really "get away", but not have to go too far. We use the house as our family beach house, but love to share with others so you can experience the relaxation this home has to offer.
What makes this property unique
We have direct, private access to a gorgeous beach, access to an upscale beach club one mile south, and a 24 hour maintenance man so you are never stuck with an inefficient house.
