25 Homes on San Rafael Lane
San Rafael is one of the smaller single-family neighborhoods within The Vineyards. Current MLS records consistently identify approximately 25 residences, all positioned along San Rafael Lane.
The small inventory gives the neighborhood a clearly defined identity and makes recent San Rafael sales especially useful when valuing an available property.
Listings can be limited because only 25 homes exist. Buyers interested specifically in San Rafael may therefore encounter periods with little or no active inventory.
San Rafael Home Sizes
Verified San Rafael homes demonstrate a useful but relatively focused range of living areas. Recent and historical records include residences around approximately 1,686, 1,731, 1,884, 2,071 and 2,367 square feet.
The neighborhood includes both more compact single-level homes and larger two-story residences, so a single community-wide average does not adequately describe San Rafael.
Living area should be considered together with bedroom count, garage size, pool, view and renovation history when selecting comparable sales.
Single-Story San Rafael Homes
One-story architecture is strongly represented. These homes typically provide the bedrooms, kitchen, living areas, garage and lanai on one level, creating a practical arrangement for buyers who prefer to avoid stairs.
A recent sale at 134 San Rafael Lane provides approximately 1,731 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a two-car garage while overlooking the golf course.
Other single-story homes offer private pools, larger outdoor areas or different bedroom configurations.
Two-Story San Rafael Homes
San Rafael also includes larger two-story designs. A recent sale at 154 San Rafael Lane provides approximately 2,367 square feet with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and a two-car garage.
Two-story layouts can create greater separation between primary living areas and secondary bedrooms while also providing broader elevated views.
Because story configuration affects how the home lives, single- and two-story properties should not automatically be treated as direct comparables.
Three- and Four-Bedroom Floor Plans
Three-bedroom configurations are common throughout San Rafael, with two- and two-and-a-half-bath arrangements represented among recent transactions.
The neighborhood also includes four-bedroom homes. A documented residence at 190 San Rafael Lane provides approximately 2,071 square feet with four bedrooms, two bathrooms and an open single-story floor plan.
Dens, enclosed lanais and other flexible rooms may also increase usable space in individual homes.
Golf Course Views
Golf-course scenery is one of San Rafael's strongest residential features. Several homes overlook portions of The Vineyards South Course, including properties with long fairway views.
A recent 134 San Rafael Lane sale was marketed for its panoramic outlook across the 14th hole, while other homes provide similarly open green-space views.
Fairway position, rear exposure, golfer activity, cart-path location and landscaping should all be considered when comparing golf-facing properties.
Landscaped and Private Settings
Not every San Rafael property faces the golf course. Interior and landscaped homesites can offer mature tropical vegetation, courtyard areas and greater visual privacy.
These properties may appeal to buyers who prefer a secluded outdoor environment rather than broad fairway exposure.
Because San Rafael is mature and heavily landscaped, vegetation itself can have a significant effect on sightlines and how private a lanai or pool feels.
Private Pools and Outdoor Living
Private pools are represented throughout San Rafael but are not universal. Some homes have screened pools and spas, while others provide lanais with room for a future pool or focus on lower-maintenance landscaped outdoor areas.
A documented San Rafael residence at 146 San Rafael Lane includes a large lap pool and spa with golf-course views and southern exposure.
Buyers should compare pool surface, heater, pumps, screen enclosure and storm protection rather than treating every San Rafael outdoor environment as equivalent.
One- and Two-Car Garages
Garage capacity varies within San Rafael. Two-car attached garages are represented in several recent sales, including 134 and 154 San Rafael Lane.
Other homes use attached one-car configurations, including documented properties at 167 and 190 San Rafael Lane.
This makes garage size an important comparable-sale factor, particularly for buyers needing additional vehicle, bicycle, golf-equipment or household storage.
Buyer note: San Rafael does not have one universal garage configuration. Verify the actual attached garage and driveway capacity for the individual home.
Construction and Renovation
San Rafael was developed primarily during the early-to-mid 1990s. Verified homes include construction years of 1993, 1994 and 1996.
Concrete-block construction, stucco exteriors, tile roofs and vaulted ceilings are strongly represented, although individual exterior materials and roof replacements vary.
More than three decades later, renovation history has become a major value consideration. Buyers should compare kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, roof age, HVAC systems, water heaters, windows, doors and storm protection.
San Rafael Homeowners Association
San Rafael Homeowners' Association, Inc. is an active Florida single-family homeowners association established in December 1992.
Recent MLS records identify San Rafael as a mandatory-HOA neighborhood with professional management. Services represented include lawn and landscape maintenance, irrigation water, security, management, street lighting, street maintenance, cable or internet services and other shared community expenses.
Historical San Rafael listings have also referenced exterior painting, pressure washing and exterior pest-control services. Because maintenance packages can change, buyers should verify current responsibilities through the association rather than relying on an older listing.
Buyer due diligence: Obtain the current San Rafael HOA and Vineyards master-association estoppels, budgets and governing documents. Confirm landscape maintenance, exterior painting or cleaning responsibilities, irrigation, current assessments, architectural standards, rental rules and pet restrictions for the exact property.
Recent San Rafael Sales
San Rafael produced two useful neighborhood-specific sales in early 2026.
134 San Rafael Lane sold February 27, 2026 for approximately $550,000. The single-story home provides approximately 1,731 square feet with three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a two-car garage and golf-course views.
154 San Rafael Lane sold March 6, 2026 for approximately $675,000. The larger two-story residence provides approximately 2,367 square feet with three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms, a two-car garage and golf-course setting.
These transactions demonstrate why living area, story configuration, garage capacity, view and condition should be evaluated together rather than relying on one neighborhood-wide price-per-square-foot figure.

Why Buyers Choose San Rafael
San Rafael appeals to buyers who want detached-home ownership in an exceptionally small and mature Vineyards neighborhood. With only 25 homes, San Rafael Lane maintains a quiet residential scale and a recognizable sense of place.
Buyers can choose single- or two-story layouts, one- or two-car garages, golf-course or landscaped settings and properties with or without private swimming pools.
Association-supported maintenance represented in recent MLS records may also reduce some of the routine exterior responsibilities associated with traditional single-family ownership.
San Rafael Within The Vineyards
San Rafael is part of The Vineyards, but its real estate identity is defined by its own 25 detached homes, San Rafael Lane location, early-1990s architecture, mature landscaping and mix of golf-course and private outdoor settings.
Vineyards Country Club membership is separate from San Rafael home ownership and should be evaluated independently according to current membership availability, categories, initiation requirements and dues.
Buyer note: Evaluate the San Rafael home, floor plan, garage, golf or landscaped view, renovation history and HOA obligations first. Treat Vineyards Country Club membership as a separate lifestyle decision.
