Fanta Sea

Fanta Sea is a bright Butler Beach vacation home with a private pool, a fenced yard, and beach access about two minutes from the sand. Set on Anastasia Island about 10 minutes south of downtown St. Augustine, this three-level house gives families and small groups a quieter coastal base with the ocean close by and the old city still easy to reach.

The House

Fanta Sea has 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and sleeping space for up to 8 guests across 2,200 square feet on three levels. The sleeping layout includes one king bed, one queen bed, two twin beds, and a sleeper sofa in the living room. That setup works well for a family, two couples with kids, or a small group that wants a real house instead of a compact condo.

Inside, the home feels open, coastal, and easy to settle into. The living room gives everyone a comfortable place to gather after the beach, while the full kitchen and large dining area make meals at home simple. The kitchen covers the practical vacation basics, including a coffee maker, cookware, dishes and utensils, dishwasher, ice maker, microwave, oven, refrigerator, stove, and toaster. Each bedroom has a TV, which helps when guests are traveling with different ages and schedules. The bathrooms include a walk-in shower and a tub-shower combination, so the house works for both adults and children. There is also a washer and dryer, air conditioning, central heat, high-speed internet, Wi-Fi, and linens and towels provided.

The private pool is one of the best reasons to choose Fanta Sea. Beach mornings can turn into pool afternoons without packing the car again, and the fully fenced backyard gives the outdoor space a more private, settled feel. The pool can be heated seasonally for an added fee, though heating is not offered from Memorial Day through the end of September. Several balconies, a deck, and a veranda give guests more places to enjoy the coastal air, and from the upper levels the home opens to ocean and water views. The elevated layout helps it feel connected to its beach setting without being oceanfront.

Because the home spans three levels, an optional elevator is available for an added charge and can be requested when booking. For guests bringing luggage, groceries, or beach gear, or anyone who prefers fewer stairs, that option makes the house easier to use. Fanta Sea is also pet-friendly: up to two small dogs are welcome for an additional pet fee, and the fenced backyard makes it more practical for dog owners than many smaller rentals. Cats are not permitted, and guests with medium or large dogs should ask about approval before booking and provide breeds and weights.

St. Augustine

St. Augustine makes an easy base for a beach trip, and downtown is close enough for simple visits to the bayfront, shops, restaurants, and historic attractions. You can spend the morning at the beach, come back for lunch and pool time, then decide whether the evening is for downtown, a casual dinner nearby, or a quiet night at the house. Families looking for a classic outing can plan a visit to the St. Augustine Alligator Farm, one of the area's most popular attractions for kids and adults. Whether you bring your own beach gear or rent what you need nearby, a stay here can be as simple or as active as you want it to be.

The Area

The location is classic Butler Beach: quieter, residential, and close to the sand. Fanta Sea sits in a peaceful neighborhood on a dead-end street with both vacationers and year-round residents nearby. The beach is about two minutes away by a newer wooden walkway, with views of the dunes, beach, and ocean along the way. This stretch of Anastasia Island works especially well for families who want a calmer beach base, with St. Augustine Beach just to the north and Crescent Beach farther south.

For guests who know they want a pool, Fanta Sea belongs in the conversation with other St. Augustine vacation rentals with a pool. The difference here is the combination: a private pool, fenced yard, full kitchen, pet-friendly policy, optional elevator, and a quieter Butler Beach setting. If you are traveling with a larger group or want options nearby for the same dates, First Choice Florida manages other homes in the area, including the pet-friendly pool home Beach Haven, the four-bedroom Margaritaville, and Purple Pelican.

Fanta Sea is a strong fit for travelers who want a real home base near the ocean. It has the space to spread out, the kitchen and laundry setup for longer stays, and the private pool that keeps vacation easy even when everyone is done with sand for the day.
