The house has everything you need but it’s really about the location. You’re steps from the ocean. The beach has little foot traffic which makes it feel like your own private spot. The host are very communicative and do their best to make you feel welcomed.
We had a great time during our stay. The house was excellent. Very clean and comfortable with all the necessities. The views were wonderful and the beach felt like it was our own. We have stayed in the area many times before but this property was exceptional.

The house inside was nice somewhat spartan but was well equipped towels, linen beach furniture was nice. The screen room was terrible furniture, uncomfortable. The tile was broken up and full of mud. The other outdoor furniture was in sad shape, moldy, and decrepit. We did not use any of the outdoor furniture and we put plastic on the floors to keep our feet clean. The screen door latch did not work well.

Well, it sounds like the screened porch definitely wasn’t your favorite part of the house 😊 We’re sorry to hear you didn't find the porch furniture and screened porch to your liking. Adirondack chairs can definitely be a matter of personal preference.
The porch is thoroughly cleaned before each guest’s arrival, though being directly on the beach, sea spray & sand are always a risk depending on weather & wind conditions. I wish you let us know that you would have liked the porch floor re-swept or hosed out when I reached out to you on your 1st day & we would have been happy to send someone over to take care of it for you.
We’re very glad to hear you found the home well equipped and enjoyed the interior accommodations, linens, towels, and beach gear. Thank you again for staying with us.
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.
wonderful stay! gorgeous beach house with fabulous ocean front beach and view. many gathering spaces for large family to spread out. already planning another stay. thanks so much.
Beautiful property, house was very comfortable and plenty of room. Very clean with all the essentials needed. Beach was gorgeous and easy access. We would love to come back again sometime. Truly enjoyed a perfect vacation!!
We had such an amazing time at the beach house! The property was exactly as described — quiet, private, and exceptionally clean. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and the easy access to the beach made every day feel effortless and relaxing.The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we really appreciated how peaceful the area was. It felt like our own private retreat! The owner was fantastic to work with — very responsive, friendly, and made the entire stay simple and enjoyable.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing beach getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Jessica Jenkins
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.
