5BR, Beachfront, King Beds | Bala Sands

Welcome to “Bala Sands”! Bala Sands is a sprawling beach house with plenty of room for your friends and family. This 5 bedroom, 5 bath, pet-friendly house can accommodate 10 people plus a baby in the pack-n-play. This ocean front home is designed for multiple families and friends, with several gathering areas inside, as well as great outdoor spaces. The house is direct ocean front, about 15 minutes north of historic St. Augustine and approximately 10 miles south of posh Ponte Vedra Beach. The area is very private with only single-family homes and a few excellent restaurants; however, in minutes you can be enjoying all the activities, shopping, golf and other pleasures available in St. Augustine or Ponte Vedra.
This 2-story home offers wonderful ocean views from most of the rooms on the 2nd floor. Here you will find a large living room, dining area, and open kitchen; all providing excellent spaces for friends and family to gather for meals, drinks, and fun! The living room has a large sectional sofa situated around a wall-mounted flat screen TV. The dining area overlooks the living room and features a dining table with seating for 8. There is seating for 3 more at the breakfast bar. The kitchen is quite roomy, allowing the chef to have several helpers if needed! The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops, and a double sink that looks out over the ocean. From the living room, you can access a large oceanfront deck that spans the entire width of the house, with access to two of the upstairs bedrooms.

Very good time, Nice Home
Loved the size of the home. Plenty of room for a large family. Beds were comfortable. Good kitchen amenities. Had a little trouble with a couple of the tvs and remotes when we got there but we got it figured out. The view was of course fantastic as the property is directly on the beach. A couple of minor things: There was a rusted chair turned over in the backyard. It looked like it had been there for some time. Our 18 year old is a tidier. She went to move it and was bit by ants. The chair surely should have been moved during cleaning or by whoever does the yard work. The door that goes outside from the laundry room stopped opening a couple of days into the trip. The hinges are on the outside so I think the moist salt air probably affected that. There were more camp style chairs than beach chairs which were not as beach friendly. Weirdly none of the 5 bathrooms started with a full roll of toilet paper (1 had no toilet paper) and the extra rolls were also partially used small rolls. Not a big deal, we added toilet paper to our shopping list, but it seems like each bathroom might have started with a new roll. There were PLENTY of beach towels There was a cooler provided that you could take back and forth to the beach The master bath shower was awesome!! Loved the walk in closet. Good sized rooms. So much space. We would stay again!

Wedding Weekend
My family was in town for a wedding and decided to make a vacation out of it. Everyone was traveling to Ponte Vedra from different parts of Florida and reacted similarly when touring the home after arriving. They were surprised by the large bedrooms, location on a quiet stretch of beach, and expansive home. A couple of my children were working remotely and were able to find a quiet spot to conduct business away from the rest of the group. The house was better than described, and there were no problems entering the house after dark (a light was left on for us). The home was extremely clean, well-stocked, had comfortable beds, and you can't beat the location. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to renting again in the future.
