Highly recommended for a relaxing vacation! My husband, daughter and I stayed in the Sea & Sand condo for our 2016 Memorial Day holiday. The condo is located within the Sawgrass Country Club, directly across from the golf clubhouse and a short walk across Ponte Vedra Blvd to the beach. Also in short walking distance are a peaceful swimming pool area and a shaded playground. The community is gated, safe and beautifully landscaped. We received an entrance pass for the duration of our stay, and the gate attendants knew our names after the first day. There are plenty of shops and restaurants just outside the west gate of Sawgrass on Hwy A1A, e.g., coffee at Starbucks, breakfast at Ponte Vedra Beach Diner and sushi at Kamiya 86!
Our main focus was spending time on the beach with our 1.5 year old daughter. The wide beach is stunning with soft, compact sand; perfect for running even with a stroller! The access boardwalk has benches overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and showers to rinse off. We brought most of our own gear, but the condo has plenty of beach mats, towels and beach toys for your use.
The condo was spacious, bright and clean. The furnishings and decorations were new and inviting, beds were comfy, and the kitchen stocked with necessities for cooking. We took advantage of the indoor dining area as well as the screened patio enclosure for our home-cooked meals. We loved the split floor plan with two full-sized bathrooms and the floor-to-ceiling windows allowing for unobstructed views of the back gardens. They let in so much light, yet the condo is perfectly private from neighbors. The property was also very safe for my curious toddler. Thanks for the stay⊠it was truly a retreat for my family and we will return.
