This is the perfect hideaway to enjoy Ponte Vedra's beautiful private beach. The kitchen and bathroom are stocked with everything you need and beach umbrellas, towels, tote and chairs are ready to go. Rachel is super responsive and welcoming. This is our second visit and we are already planning our next trip to our favorite spot.
Great location in a beautiful spot. We enjoyed the quiet walk on the beach, easy access to all the amenities anyone would need. We would definitely stay here again on our next trip to the Jacksonville coast!
Cozy 22nd floor space above the garage. Best information booklet we've seen. Quiet, upscale neighborhood. Lovely kitchen stocked with assorted snacks and coffees. Walk-in shower and ample closet space. Conveniently located to grocery and restaurants. Responsive, friendly host. A truly pleasant experience
The place is so clean and in great location. We are not fond of eating out so we cooked our meals everyday , kitchen is complete of essential elements require to cook and clean up. We feel like we are just ‘home away from home’. Thank you to our host Rachel and Stephan. We can’t wait to go back again !
I needed something close to TPC Sawgrass as I was working the PGA tournament all weekThis place was perfect for what I needed Very nice unit -had everything
We really enjoyed our stay here. Everything was perfect. Cottage was clean, cozy, and stocked with everything you need. Thanks for being such a great host!
Absolutely stunning 1 bedroom tiny home! Fit us perfectly. The owner provided snacks, which I was pleased to see they were healthy snacks instead of junk. My 11 year old loved them. The house was fully stocked with plenty of towels, shampoo, conditioner, beach towels, Keurig pods, creamer, filtered water, just to name a few. The bedroom had a fan which was perfect since I cannot sleep without one. The homeowner provided such great information in a binder, and replied to messages very quickly. We loved the chairs on the front porch, as we sat there and drank our coffee there and caught fresh morning air. The beach was a very quick walk right across the road, through a private gate, and we were the only ones on the beach that day. I would give this unit 10 Stars, if I could. We plan to stay again, if its available for our dates.
All the rooms were very well outfitted. All the extras were unexpected but very much appreciated. Beautiful area & the ease of getting to the beach for daily walks was a huge plus! Hosts were very responsive & accommodating.
We had an incredible time, and this beautiful hideaway is right across the street from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. This place is gorgeous, and the attention to detail to ensure our comfort was outstanding. We really enjoyed this spot and would definitely book here again.
This is our third stay here. Excellent place to stay. Very quiet, great communication from owners, clean, and all the little extras that make the stay feel like home. Would definitely stay here again.

Wish I was able to stay around the house longer, beautiful place.
An excellent place to stay. We have stayed here several times. The guest house is clean, comfortable and located in a quiet area. It has easy access to the property and beach. Great location that is close to shopping and restaurants. Host always responds quickly. Will definitely stay here again.
We have stayed at a lot of properties around the world and this is, by far, our favorite. I have always said that I will only stay somewhere right on the beach, but this property changed my mind. Rachel and Stephan have created such a special place that we will keep coming back. From the really private beach (with a very cool trail), to the vibe and all the little special touches - it is just perfection.
All round this was an amazing stay: location, communication and the features/quality/comfort of the apartment. Couldn’t have asked for more and we will be back!
Just stayed over new years and it was perfect. Great location, clean, fully stocked and well maintained. Location was close to the beach and peaceful for family and getting some exercise. Rachel was a great host and easy to communicate with.
Love this space - small like an NYC apartment with everything one needs while away from home. Super clean and well-appointed - and an awesome / responsive host who's ready to help if you need anything. And on top of all of that - you have private access to one of the best beaches in the country. Will definitely stay here again - highly recommeded.
My husband and I enjoyed a wonderful 12 night stay at this truly charming guest cottage. The location was perfect with convenient access to a beautiful beach. The cottage was clean and cozy with everything we needed for a perfect stay.
We had such an amazing stay. The property is like new and in pristine condition. The owners provide a lot of little extras, including snacks, beach, chairs, towels, and an umbrella. We would love to stay here again if we have the chance.
Wish I could move in! Has everything you could need for your stay.
