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.
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.
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!
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!!
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.
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!
Stayed a week & had a great time. very spacious indoors & out. open living area, nice yard in back with screened porch on one side & a covered patio on the other. just a few steps down to the beach off the boardwalk. kitchen has everything you need and more.
we will be staying again for sure. Jessica & Fred are great hosts.
The house is located great for both St Augustine and Jacksonville restaurants and attractions. Kitchen well stocked with glassware and tableware. Kitchen very open for multiple individuals to work and prepare meals.
Great view of the ocean. Easy access to the beach.
Our family had a great week at Fred and Jessicaâs beach home.
Rising Tide is just steps from the beach. Fred and Jessicaâs home provides lots of room for our family to be together or for us to have our own space. They were so helpful in resolving any issue that helped us have a great family vacation. We plan to return next summer.
This home is located in an area where there is now public access. So it was very private and quiet on the beach.
This home was fully stocked.
No need to bring beach chairs, towels.
Had detergent for laundry. Soaps shampoo, conditioner etc.
Donât hesitate to book.
Our family had an amazing time at this beautiful home! Even with nasty weather the four of us enjoyed our stay so much. Was able to enjoy two days on the beach and two days sprawled out in the home. So much room that we could be out of each otherâs hair, but cozy enough for game time and meals. Jessica was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our next stay!
This is our 2nd summer at the Rising Tide Beach home. It has easy access to the beach. The layout of this home gave us quality time together as well as time alone for us, our children and grandchildren. The screened in porch was a great place to eat meals or just hang out after a fun day at the beach. We hope to return next year.
We spent 4 glorious months at this property. It was perfect in every way. There was plenty of room for guests upstairs and a great master bedroom and bathroom for us on the first floor. Guests loved their separate living room and deck. The beach was secluded and beautiful. Itâs between St Augustine and Ponte Vedra. Plenty to do and lots of great restaurants. The house has everything you need for an awesome stay. Weâre already booked for next year.
This house is exactly as described. Great open spaces. Very clean. Provided plenty of towel. Dishes. Soap. Beach chairs.
The owner was so easy to communicate with. Great house!
We had a fabulous beach vacation with our children and grandchildren. The beach was just steps from the beach house no steps to climb. Rising Tide is so spacious so our family could gather around the large dining room table or spend time alone in their favorite spot. Fred and Jessica were so helpful in making our beach vacation fun and relaxing.
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.
