Perfect and Private

Our family of four adults and two children enjoyed this house, directly on a private beach, very much. The common areas are roomy and the layout afforded everyone enough room to relax and soak in the ambience of a true beach vacation. It has a huge kitchen and dining area, so no one felt cramped. The home is situated right on the beach, with, at its busiest, only about 20 people out as far as the eye could see. Outdoors was refreshing and peaceful with a gentle ocean breeze. We enjoyed walking the few steps to the water, dolphin viewing, beautiful sunrises, and, our dogs loved the grassy yard. The kiddos loved the beach floats and sandcastle tools. Overall, a wonderful find for us, which made for a great vacation. We felt that we certainly got a great value for our money. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and spacious home.

Family Vacation June 2024

We had such a great time here at Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine. Your home was just as described. We had 6 adults and two grandkids that were 2. The house was well equipped and we had everything we needed. The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. We also appreciated the help in finding a deep sea fishing charter. Thank you for letting us stay in your beach home.

Private beach house

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. Don’t hesitate to book.

Wonderful Vacation Home

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. It’s between St Augustine and Ponte Vedra. Plenty to do and lots of great restaurants. The house has everything you need for an awesome stay. We’re already booked for next year.

St Augustine Beachfront

We gathered 3 adult kids and spouses for getaway after Christmas. Stayed 4 nights and had a great visit. House was ~ 15 minutes north of St Augustine and nice quiet retreat. Enjoyed the large gathering space and spacious kitchen. 8 chairs at the dining table fit us just right. 4 bedrooms worked well for our family. Little bit of road noise in the mornings with traffic headed to and from Ponte Vedra. Enjoyed lanai space and walkway directly to the beach. Sunrises and walks on the beach were perfect.

Four Adults and Two dogs

What a perfect vacation spot for all of us! This was the first vacation for our dogs and it was super! Major advantages were the decks which allowed all of us to relax in comfort. Gracie, one of the dogs, liked the screened-in porch and Sallie, the other dog, liked the upstairs deck because she could lie in the shade while I was in the sun. The house was large which allowed all of us to "do our own thing" and not feel as though we were on top of anyone else. The house is located close to several excellent restaurants (Cap's on the Water is beautiful!) and the grocery store is close. St. Augustine is also close. In addition, the owners were very accommodating and answered any questions we had. In short, this was a wonderful vacation for all of us. Thank you!

Perfect Family Vacation

Wow, what a great rental!! Location, location, location! Plenty of space for everyone. There was eight of us and we never felt "on top of each other." I have never seen such a well stocked rental. They even provided shampoo, body wash and laundry supplies! Plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, paper towels, toilet paper. You really only need to bring your clothes. Well stocked kitchen. Very private. We pretty much had the beach to ourselves. Tons of seashells. Will definitely come again. Loved our time!

Best beach house ever

We had a wonderful and relaxing week here. The pictures do not do the house justice. The wide open layout was perfect to hang out with the family. The kitchen was well equipped for all our meals. The cabinet space was amazing. The boardwalk to the beach was very short which made it convenient for going back and forth with kids and for many drinks. We absolutely loved how quiet the beach was and saw many beautiful sunrises directly at the end of the boardwalk. Also seen plenty of dolphins I think we seen some everyday. Everyone found many sharks teeth the entire family cannot wait to return. Fred and Jessica are very pleasant to deal with and very nice owners. Thanks for sharing your home. There are not enough words to describe this Best beach house ever. Thanks again

Family gathering

This is our 7th summer at Fred and Jessica’s beach home. Their home provides lots of space for our family. The beach front, the short walk to the ocean, and the private beach make our stay so enjoyable. Our grandchildren enjoyed activities on the newly screened porch. The large new frig was wonderful for storing all the food needed for the week. However the sofa bed was not so comfortable for our son. We look forward to returning next summer. Thank you Fred and Jessica for your beach rental where our children and grandchildren shared wonderful memories with us.

S. Ponte Vedra House - Relaxing!

The good: Welcoming home directly on the ocean. We were a group of 9, ages 20 to 85. A bit tight upstairs with 7 adults and three of them singles, but we expected that. Kitchen counters and bathrooms have granite and were cleaned adequately. The kitchen is well stocked. Towels, linens, soaps, etc. are provided with plenty for refills. Lots of room to spread out and big table and extra seating for group dinners. Check-in was easy. The beach is quiet as public access isn't close which we considered a plus. Many shells, good fishing and nice seating at the end of the walkway. The not so good: As others have mentioned the mattresses are sub-par. This would keep us from returning.

Beautiful house right on the beach

This is our second time staying in this house. We come to Ponte Vedra often and this place is a wonderful house for families. There were 7 of us this trip. Plenty of room for everyone, great layout, and right on the beach far from public access - what more could you want? Just a 10 minute drive to Publix and another 5 minutes to St. Augustine. Would recommend to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Frederick Jenkins

I have lived in Jacksonville for 22 years and have worked as an emergency physician in the area since completing my residency at Shand's hospital. I have traveled extensively along the Florida coast and can tell you that northeast Florida is one of the most beautiful and pristine parts of the state. The coastal wildlife, from our vast bird preserve across the street to the rich St. John's river fishery, is unrivaled.

Why they chose this property

Our house is located on the northern segment of South Ponte Vedra Beach. This is a particularly desirable section of this beach because on the opposite side of A1A, the coastal highway, is Guana River State Park, which includes a large tidal estuary and a bird and wildlife preserve. Such a vast game preserve produces huge numbers of pelicans, ospreys, egrets, cranes, and wood-storks which fly over the house and feed in the ocean behind the house and the marsh in front of it. There is no commercial glare along this section of the beach. The dunes and beach are in their natural, un-replenished state. The color of the sand is a gorgeous coral hue.

What makes this property unique

The house is large (3000 sf) and rebuilt in 2013. The construction is solid poured concrete and the appliances and HVAC are new. As such, tenants enjoy a vacation right on the sand without having to tolerate the musty, beach-shack experience that is commonly encountered. As the photos portray, the house is elegantly appointed and gorgeously decorated.
