Welcome to our tastefully decorated, single level, three bedroom home, offering a cozy space to accommodate up to six guests. You will find driveway parking available for up to two vehicles, with additional street parking conveniently nearby. Access to the home is via two steps leading up to the entrance. Wren Beach Rentals by Portoro presents “After Dune Delight”! This unique home sits high on top of a natural dune, offering incredible views of the beach and the ocean from just about anywhere in the house. Comfortably sleeping 6 adults, this 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is perfect for small families or a few couples. The spacious living room has a large leather sectional sofa with room for everyone. The kitchen and dining area are open and have views of the ocean. The kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counter tops, and a breakfast island. The dining table looks out over the back yard and the beach. Upstairs is the primary bedroom. Climb the spiral staircase and you’ll find a very unique bedroom. The exposed, sloped ceilings make this room very exceptional. The hardwood floors are original to the home. This bedroom has a king bed, TV, and a private bathroom with a walk-in shower. There is a loft off of the bedroom that offers endless views of the Atlantic to the east. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the sights or maybe read a book. Downstairs are two more bedrooms. Each of these have a queen bed, dresser, closet, and a full bathroom. The south bathroom has a tub/shower combination, while the north bathroom has a small step-in shower. There are some great outdoor spaces on the property as well. If you want to avoid the sun, you can hang out in the screened porch. Here you’ll find a porch swing and beach accessories. Overlooking the beach is our dune deck. This is a great place to layout in one of our recliners to work on your tan! The beach is just steps away. With virtually no public beach access you’ll find that you have the beach all to yourselves during your stay. We provide beach chairs, beach towels, and a gas grill. Of course, the house is completely furnished inside with all linens, towels, kitchen supplies, and more. If you want a day away from the beach, all of our guests have the opportunity to get a temporary membership to the Serenata Beach Club, which provides swimming pool, fitness center, dining, and more. The nation’s oldest city, Saint Augustine, is just about 15 minutes away. Here, you will find countless restaurants, shops, museums, tours, and more. Day trips to Orlando and Jacksonville are easy from here as well. Whether you are looking for a lazy vacation on the beach, a golf-filled trip, or family fun, you’ll find it here! Call today to book “After Dune Delight” for your vacation. Experience the beauty of sandy shores where you can swim, sunbathe, surf, paddleboard, and fish. Take leisurely walks along the beach to discover treasures like shark teeth, sand dollars, and sea glass.

Perfect, peaceful beach vacation. Lots of sea glass and shells. Mattresses were okay, but not luxury. WIFI and cell service was spotty but not a problem with a view like that. One of the best vacations we have had. We will be back.

After Dunes Delight was a beautiful house and property. The back of the house was almost wall to wall glass, plus an upstairs loft gave phenomenal views of the ocean. The house was nicely decorated and was well stocked with cookware, utensils, even coffee. Outside was nothing short of paradise! A deck with patio furniture made for the perfect view for the sunrise (and the moon). And of course, it's a 30 second walk to take a swim. Thank you for sharing this wonderful property with me!

The host communication was great. We received several communications and our access code when promised. We had no issues during our stay and check in and out was very easy. The house was well equipped, and very clean. The ocean views from the house were awesome and we loved the deck. The location was also good. There is a convenience store not far from the house, however Publix and restaurants are just a little further. We would stay here again!
