This 3 bedroom, 2 bath ranch style home is sure to provide everything you need to enjoy your vacation. Two driveways allow for ample parking for everyone in your party. The laurel green bistro dining set sits amid the entryway and just asks for you to enjoy a nightcap or morning cup of joe with your significant other or family member. Upon walking through the front door you immediately can feel the warming presence of the Marsh View Ranch nudging you to come inside and take advantage of all its amenities. The front doorway opens into the living room, where you’ll want to kick off your shoes after a day of traveling or basking on the beach. Sprawl out on the jumbo L shaped couch, relax and watch your favorite tv shows on our booming 65” screen.
To the left beyond the sliding barn door is the master suite. This room offers a dedicated work space for the traveler who is here on pleasure, but also needs to take care of business throughout their stay. With over 650mbp/s of bandwith, there is no job that cannot be tackled from this charming wooden desk. The lovely, custom built, farm-house style headboard will make you feel this bed was made just for you.
The right of the living room opens up to the main bathroom and two spare bedrooms. Each bathroom comes loaded with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and hand soap. As well as towels, makeup cloths, and handtowels to satisfy however you like to stay clean.
The first spare bedroom is the Goldfish room. There is a luxurious queen bed that can easily fit a couple. For those traveling and needing an extra sleeping spot, there is a pull out futon almost as comfortable as the bed itself. It can be pulled out in minutes. Also provided are hangers and large walk in closet which will easily accommodate any luggage you’ve brought along the way.
Deeper into the house is the second spare bedroom, the Fern room. Plopping into this king bed after a long day of travel will whisk you away and make you feel like you are sleeping on a cloud. Wake up in the bed and take a view out the back window and you may see some morning cranes perusing through the marsh. The mustard chair in this room folds out into a twin size sleeper, perfect for anyone traveling with an extra person or for someone traveling with children. Did I mention the massive walk-in closet, 4 x 12 feet!
The living room connects seamlessly to the dining room and kitchen. Once past the two ivory columns you will be astonished by the feel of the acacia wooden table with the electric fireplace, nestled in white shiplap. This is the perfect chance for you to gather with your family or friends at the dining room table, and divvy up your steak dinner prepared on the BBQ grill. Be sure to grab your camera, and take group pictures under the edison bulb chandelier with fireplace as a backdrop.
The kitchen provides ample amenities to cook a proper meal. Included is the four burner range, large oven, chef grade hood, blender, food processor, and toaster. Provided are stainless steel pots, pans, baking ware, and cooking sheets. Enough equipment to make Gordon Ramsey blush! Get after the wine cooler, with plenty of room to case your favorite whites and reds.
For the coffee connoisseur, we offer varieties of Keurig options as well as the option to fire off American style pot coffee.
Working even more towards the back of the house, is the boho themed sun room. With large windows on each side, you are free to view the backyard and marsh, overlooking both outdoor sitting areas including the lounge room deck and the firepit behind the large birch tree. You will find plentiful board games to enjoy including Scrabble, Checkers, playing cards, and of course you MUST play some St Augustine-opoly to feel like a local.
While the inside of the house is extravagant, the outside of the house is a true gem. First, you walk out onto the tiled deck. Here, you will find two tables and enough seating for 8 on this sheltered wicker furniture. While most the shade is provided by the birch tree, should the sun be overbearing go ahead and open up the 10 foot umbrella. Enjoy the cover with a refreshing glass of lemonade or iced tea. The solar battery powered umbrella can be turned on at night to provide ambient lighting. Enough to light up the area while you and your party talk the night away, but not too bright to cut out the stars and natural lit up view of the sky.
The dog friendly backyard has over 3000 sq feet of grass and runs all the way up to the marsh. The 30 foot birch tree provides shade for most of the backyard throughout the day, so you can stay cool while enjoying the Florida weather. Kick back and relax in the swing chair, hanging from the tree you can kick your legs up and feel weightless.
No outdoor space would be complete without an area to congregate over an open fire. The firepit has ample seating and the best part is the bistro string lights woven above the seating area. With a switch connected to the post, this can be turned on and off in an instant. Also provided, is a 3 prong plug in to charge whatever you need. With a retractable garden hose that easily reaches toward the firepit from the house, dousing the fire at the end of the night is a breeze. Plan ahead, and bring marshmallows and s’more kits for a night you will never forget.
Dog loving aficionados will enjoy all the perks we have built in just for your furry friends. There is a dog bath on the side of the house to keep your pup clean and happy. Also provided is a food and water bowl, towels, and shampoo. Please be aware there is a $100 per pup dog fee that will be collected prior to check-in.
