Purple Pelican

Purple Pelican is a spacious Butler Beach vacation home for guests who want the beach close, the pool private, and the whole group under one roof. This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath ocean view home offers 2,500 square feet of living space for up to 10 guests, with a relaxed coastal feel, multiple outdoor spaces, and a fenced backyard built for long Florida afternoons.

The House

Inside, the home gives families and groups the breathing room that can be hard to find in a condo. The main living area is open and comfortable, with plush seating, a decorative fireplace, a television, and bright views that make the space feel welcoming after a beach day. It is the kind of room where people naturally gather, whether the plan is a movie night, a quiet morning with coffee, or a midday break from the sun.

The kitchen is fully equipped for meals at home, with major appliances, a microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, cookware, dishes, utensils, and plenty of space to work. A dining area and separate dining room make it easy to feed a group without turning every meal into an outing.

The sleeping layout is flexible for a mixed group. The bedrooms include one king bed, one queen bed, one double bed, and one bunk bed, with an air mattress in the living room. Three full bathrooms and a convenient half bath keep mornings moving when the house is full. That mix works well for families, grandparents, cousins, or friends who want privacy without splitting into separate rentals. The home also includes linens, towels, WiFi, air conditioning, central heat, a washer and dryer, and the everyday essentials that make a beach stay easier.

The primary suite adds a memorable touch. It includes a Jacuzzi tub and a spa-style shower with waterfall, rain, and body-jet features, plus a Bluetooth speaker and mood lighting. It gives the home a little resort energy while still keeping the comfort and privacy of a single-family beach house.

Outside, Purple Pelican becomes its own vacation zone. The fenced backyard has a private pool, lounge space, and room to unwind between trips to the sand. Guests can relax poolside, stretch out in the hammock, enjoy the balcony, or settle into the covered outdoor seating areas after a swim. The pool can be heated for an additional fee with advance notice, outside the warmest summer months. The home also includes beach chairs, towels, toys, and bikes, which helps make beach days and neighborhood exploring feel simple.

Purple Pelican is also pet-friendly for an additional pet fee, which makes it a strong option for travelers who do not want to leave the family dog behind. The fenced yard, relaxed neighborhood setting, and larger-home layout all support the kind of stay where everyone has a little more room to settle in.

St. Augustine

St. Augustine makes an easy base for a beach week with history and dining built in. Historic downtown is about 20 minutes away, so it is simple to spend part of a day exploring Castillo de San Marcos, strolling St. George Street, browsing museums, and settling into a bayfront restaurant before heading back to a calmer beach neighborhood at night. Between the old city, the shops, and the water, there is enough to fill a trip without ever straying far from the sand.

The Area

Purple Pelican sits in Butler Beach, a quieter stretch of St. Augustine's island side where the shoreline feels residential, easygoing, and less crowded than the busiest beach hubs. Guests are just a short walk from the beach, with public walkovers along A1A nearby, while still being a short drive north to St. Augustine Beach restaurants, coffee shops, and the St. Johns County Ocean Pier. Butler Beach has a laid-back local rhythm, wide sand, and a less commercial feel than the heart of St. Augustine Beach. For more area context, First Choice Florida's Butler Beach vacation rentals guide is the natural place to learn how this stretch of the island compares with nearby Crescent Beach, St. Augustine Beach, and Anastasia Island.

Traveling with more family or friends? Purple Pelican gives one group a private Butler Beach pool home, while nearby First Choice Florida houses such as Margaritaville and Beach Therapy can keep an extended group close without everyone sharing the same roof. Purple Pelican is best for guests who want a real beach house experience: space to spread out, a private pool, ocean views, a short walk to the sand, and enough indoor and outdoor gathering areas to make the home part of the vacation.
