Nice house great location! The host was extremely responsive both before and during our stay. Kitchen was well stocked and house is well maintained. Would consider staying in the future.
We had such an amazing time at the beach house! The property was exactly as described â quiet, private, and exceptionally clean. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and the easy access to the beach made every day feel effortless and relaxing.The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we really appreciated how peaceful the area was. It felt like our own private retreat! The owner was fantastic to work with â very responsive, friendly, and made the entire stay simple and enjoyable.We couldnât have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing beach getaway!
Our family really enjoyed being together at Southern Tide. Fred and Jessicaâs beach home is perfect for our children and for our grandchildren. The space is perfect for family time or for individual quiet time. The beach is just steps away from the home. Weâre so grateful to have found this beach home that is perfect for all of our needs.
We had such a wonderful time. The home was the perfect for our friend reunion. Everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of seating for 10. Itâs always a treat to be steps from the ocean and close to St. Augustine. The hosts were very communicative and available if we needed anything. We would 100% stay here again.
wonderful stay! gorgeous beach house with fabulous ocean front beach and view. many gathering spaces for large family to spread out. already planning another stay. thanks so much.
Beautiful property, house was very comfortable and plenty of room. Very clean with all the essentials needed. Beach was gorgeous and easy access. We would love to come back again sometime. Truly enjoyed a perfect vacation!!
Our children and grandchildren had an amazing vacation with us at Fred and Jessicaâs beach home. They provided everything we needed for our fun week. Love the privacy that this beach home provides.
Beautiful home in perfect location! Excellent size for our family. Well equipped kitchen for our son-in-law chef. Second vacation at this property. We love it.
Owners could not have been nicer and more accessible. We only stayed for a short time but the house was just what we needed. The views were amazing and it was nice to have a little yard in the back. The beach was private and vast. Will be back!
Very pleased with our stay. Property was as described. Love the high ceilings and open design of ground floor. Home is obviously well cared for. We have rented several houses in this area over the years - many have problems with Palmetto bugs (cockroaches) - none here, thank goodness.Kitchen well appointed. Everything you need to fix meals instead of dining out every meal. Would have liked some plastic storage bowls with lids for leftovers. Would suggest some family games and puzzles. We had several days of rain and had to get creative to keep kids entertained.Lots of toys for the beach. Nothing lacking there.Had a great time - can't wait to come back.
We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, beds were nice, family room and kitchen are spacious. There are beautiful ocean views downstairs and upstairs. It is right on the ocean. It was cold when we were there so we did not go on the beach much, so it was great to have the beautiful views. It is so close to St. Augustine and restaurants. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. Hope to go back in the future.
Lovely, clean, well-equipped home. We had a great time with the kids and the dog. Very few people on the dog-friendly beach. We'd love to come back again!
I've called Jacksonville home for 25 years and have served as an emergency physician in the area since completing my residency at Shand's Hospital. Having traveled extensively along the Florida coast, I can confidently say that South Ponte Vedra Beach is one of the most beautiful and unspoiled regions in the state. The coastal wildlife, from the expansive bird preserve across the street to the vibrant St. John's River fishery, is unparalleled.
Our house is situated on the northern part of South Ponte Vedra Beach, a particularly sought-after area. Across A1A lies Guana River State Park, home to a large tidal estuary and a bird and wildlife preserve. This vast preserve attracts an abundance of pelicans, ospreys, egrets, cranes, and wood storks, which you can often see flying overhead and feeding in the ocean. This section of the beach remains free from commercial development, preserving its natural beauty. The beach is wider in this area than it is further south and remains largely untouched by the potential erosion that storms can bring.
The house is large (3000 sf) and rebuilt in 2013. As such, guests enjoy a vacation right on the sand without having to tolerate the musty, beach-shack experience that can be found in older homes. As the photos portray, the house is well appointed and beautifully decorated.
