Perched high on the dunes in the heart of Butler Beach, this elevated coastal retreat offers strong ocean views and easy access to one of St. Augustine’s most pristine, uncrowded beaches. Set on an oversized lot with dual access from Alta Vista and a vacated alley to the west, the property provides exceptional elevation, privacy, and rare flexibility for parking or future expansion. This three-story home features five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, creating an ideal setup for family living or a high-performing vacation rental. The ground level includes a two-car tandem garage, a convenient storage room for beach gear, and a spacious screened-in lanai overlooking a heated saltwater pool. Beyond the pool, a fire pit sets the stage for evening gatherings under the stars while an outdoor shower makes washing the salt away after a fun day at the beach a breeze. The second floor includes four guest bedrooms, two full baths, and a laundry room, creating a convenient layout for family and guests. Upstairs, the open-concept main living area captures panoramic views of the Atlantic, complemented by a well-equipped kitchen, half bath, the primary suite, and a large 32’ wide balcony offering captivating ocean views. Sold fully furnished, this home is ready for immediate enjoyment or continued use as a high-performing vacation rental. Located within the Biera Mar neighborhood, a long-time favorite among locals, the area is known for its laidback vibe, lack of HOA restrictions, and flexible zoning that accommodates vacation rentals. The beaches here remain quiet and uncrowded, while local restaurants, coffee shops, and grocery stores are all within two miles, and historic downtown St. Augustine is just seven miles away. Schedule your private tour of 4969 Alta Vista Avenue and discover why Butler Beach continues to be one of the area’s most desired coastal areas.
