Space
‘Southern Charm’ is a 4 bedroom 3 bath oceanfront beach house. Located in the oceanfront community of South Ponte Vedra Beach, between Jacksonville and St. Augustine, it is situated in a private area of single family homes. There are no condos or town homes in the area. It is serene and quiet, yet the house is just 7 miles from historic St. Augustine and 15 miles from Ponte Vedra. It is a 3-story home with living areas on the top two floors. The living room, kitchen, and dining area are all part of an open floor plan. This allows for the entire family to gather together without feeling the least bit cramped. The 2nd floor has an open kitchen/living room/dining floor plan. The kitchen features stainless appliances, Corian counter tops, and all of the cookware you need to create your favorite culinary masterpieces! The dining table seats 8 and looks out over the ocean, providing a wonderful setting for all of your meals. There is plenty of space to sprawl out in the living room to socialize or watch your favorite movie. There is a large TV and stereo system in the living room. Don’t forget to stock up on food and beverages for your vacation. There is a back up refrigerator in the garage for your extra groceries. There is a shaded, screened porch on the 2nd floor back of the house, as well as an open sunny deck. These areas are great for working on your tan, or just enjoying the sights and sounds of the beach without having to load on the SPF! Downstairs on the back of the house is a beautifully sprawling paved patio; offering another great gathering place for you and your group. From there, your private beach stairs will lead you to the sand. Southern Charm has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms (plus one in the garage). Just down the hall from the living room is a bedroom with a queen bed. It has a full bathroom just outside the bedroom. Upstairs are three more bedrooms. The master bedroom is spacious and features a king bed, large garden tub, and a private bathroom. The other two bedrooms feature two twin beds in each. These bedrooms share a full bathroom. All four bedrooms have ocean views, dressers, closet, and a TV. Also on the top floor is a small den with a TV and sofa. This is a great place for the kids to hang out and enjoy a movie. Experience the beauty of sandy shores where you can swim, sunbathe, surf, paddleboard, and fish. Take leisurely walks along the beach to discover treasures like shark teeth, sand dollars, and sea glass. Explore Anastasia State Park for outdoor activities such as hiking, biking, birdwatching, and picnicking in a stunning coastal setting. Discover the rich history of Historic St. Augustine by visiting landmarks like Castillo de San Marcos, St. Augustine Lighthouse and Maritime Museum, and the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park. Stroll down St. George Street, a pedestrian only thoroughfare in the heart of the historic district, lined with charming shops, restaurants, galleries, and historic sites. Immerse yourself in the Gilded Age at the Lightner Museum, housed in a historic hotel, showcasing a diverse collection of art, antiques, and artifacts. Experience the thrill of getting up close to alligators, crocodiles, and exotic animals at St. Augustine Alligator Farm Zoological Park, which also offers educational shows, zip lines, and exhibits of native Florida wildlife. Take a scenic short ferry ride to Fort Matanzas National Monument, a historic Spanish fort located on Rattlesnake Island. Learn about its role in protecting St. Augustine during the colonial period while enjoying views of the surrounding marshlands. Indulge in delicious cuisine at the many restaurants in St. Augustine, cafes, and eateries. From fresh seafood to international fare, there is something to satisfy every palate, including popular spots like 180 Vilano Grill and Pizza, Briskys BBQ, and Beaches at Vilano.

Charming Southern Charm Excellent, well-equipped, well-located rental. The roar of the waves was ever present and made for great background for sleeping. Great shore views from the house.

What a lovely beach rental This property is better than advertised . We had a family function in Ponte Vedra and four of us used the home for base. The house is so well built and quiet, the beach is quiet and clean. Dolphins swam by often , sunrises, birds and the Guana wildlife area across the street is fabulous. We will be back!! Thank you for sharing your home!

Ocean & living next to it The weather was cool, but that's the name of the game in Jan. & Feb., mostly warm years & some cool. I was sick prior to coming South thinking it was just a strong allergy attack. It turned out to be a serious lung infection! No fault of your place or the Ocean. I was admitted to the Mayo & they got it all sorted out & I was back in the water & running the beach. The screen porch facing the Ocean was my resting place & so handy. The TV which I watch a lot was fine & no problem. The beds were very comfortable & I slept like a log hearing the Ocean, like heart. The indoor showers temps esp. after being the ocean were just right too. We had good experiences in the kitchen also & no problems. Frankly, it is a special place for us as regular visitors. Sat. mornings at the St. Augustine Fair, dancing & listening to the Country Music were special. All in all I can't think of a better vacation place this side of Viet Nam, HI, HI. Highly recommended, Bernard Williams
