Family Beach Vacation

Our family really enjoyed being together at Southern Tide. Fred and Jessica’s 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. We’re so grateful to have found this beach home that is perfect for all of our needs.

Steps to the beech no wagon needed!

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. It’s 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.

Great beach house

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.

Family vacation

We can not say enough about this beautiful, well stocked home right on the beach. Absolutely stunning views from within the home as well as on the 3 different decks. We wondered how it would be with no pool for the week. It wasn’t even missed. There were plenty of chairs, boogie boards and toys for everyone. We had the Florida man come out and give us fishing lessons from the beach. It was such a fun activity. We caught everything from whitening, catfish, to baby sharks. A couple hammer heads as well as a black tailed shark. Plenty of room for everyone. The owners even replaced the washing machine while we were there wish I feel is great service. We recommend this home to any group wanting spectacular views with comfortable beds. Nothing negative at all in our experience. Thank you for letting us spend some relaxing family time in your home.

Rising Tide is just steps from the beach. Fred and Jessica’s 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.

Fabulous

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 other’s hair, but cozy enough for game time and meals. Jessica was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to our next stay!

Rising Tide Beach Vacation

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica Jenkins

Host profile image
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.

Why they chose this property

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.

What makes this property unique

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.
