About this property

See, smell, hear, and feel the ocean in your backyard, just 10 steps away! 🌺

Looking for a romantic & fun time with sun & moonrises over the ocean? This is it. A great place to create lasting memories. Engagements, celebrations for anniversaries, birthdays, and sharing time; mother daughter, father son, sister time…. Or “me” time. Beach is great for swimming, surfing, shelling, fishing, walking, and relaxing to just sit & watch & listen.

Condo
First floor, direct access to beach within 10 feet.
Hear the sounds of the waves. Smell the salt air.
See beach activities: ships, sailboats, dolphins, fish, birds carrying their catch, parasails, and more on any given day. Watch the tide roll in and roll out. See breathtaking sunrises & speechless moonrises. Look for the stars and ships passing in the night and day as your troubles melt away.

This 900 sq foot 1 bedroom, full bathroom with tub & shower, and kitchen all with direct access to walk onto your beach front property is awaiting you. A hose is located at end of walkway to rinse off your findings, chairs, and feet. Your door is a few feet from your oceanfront walk & view.

Updated tile, paint, crown molding, granite countertops, brand new refrigerator/freezer with ice-maker can all be yours with a fully equipped kitchen (drip & Kruger coffee makers, oven toaster, blender, counter grill, microwave, oven, electric stove top, etc).

This unique little gem is a perfect retreat to get-away, be together, or work within a solitude and quietness as the Atlantic Ocean energizes you & refreshes your soul.

After your fun filled activities; enjoy a restful time watching your favorite TV shows via streaming as you see the ocean waves.

Your walks on land or beach will be filled with extra sights of multi-million dollar estates and private clubs stretching miles going north or south. They are amazing in size, design, and style. Then, you have the natural beauty that is priceless of beach. Your time & experience will be cherished. Nearby Dining: Publix Sawgrass Shopping Center:
Nona Blue-ask for high top table outside or sit at outside bar facing road. Ask for their homemade guacamole/ salsa & chips.

Capps on the Intracoastal Water is an all time top- of-the-list for everything. Usually a wait, but the view while you wait is worth it. You can also order drinks & food (apps) while you wait. Bars (3) are open seating. Be sure to go the the very far back bar as first choice. Sunsets! Like your condo oceanfront sunrise.

Reviews are solely my opinion from my experience over the 40 years of dining out. As you know, everyday is different, moods and experiences are personal and that’s what makes them fun.

Ratings are based on a learning curve taking my top favorite places. I am recommending all of the above. The list is not all inclusive… so, if you are wanting more variety.. goggle is our friend.

View: relates to outside, and not to be confused with inside ambulance.
No star, no view to speak of outside

Five star best view of outside
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

How do you choose?
Is view more important?
Then go for the most ⭐️’s.
The food at all is good.

Suggestion, first day in:
Nona Blue High Top or sit at outside bar facing road. Afterwards, shop at Publix, arrive at condo ready to relax.
You are seven minutes from condo.

Perfection
I cannot say enough about this property. From the booking to the check out - everything was perfect. Donna was quick to supply any and all information needed to make our stay perfect. When we arrived, the unit was clean and neat and everything was just as described. We immediately put our things down that we bought and walked out to the back porch (although I am not sure you could call it that - it was just an extension of the living area) and sat in the chairs and admired the view which was perfect. The first night, we were able to watch the moon rise and we got up early each morning to watch the sunrise. The weather was wonderful - not too hot and not too cold - just perfect. It was almost like we were on a private beach. We had stopped by Publix on the way because, we knew when we got here we would not want to leave so I cannot recommend any eateries. This was a trip for our 38th wedding anniversary - not a "monumental" year but since I am currently being treated for stage 4 breast cancer that is now in my lungs (I went through all the treatment 6 years ago for stage 1 breast cancer and was declared cancer free but it came back one year ago in my lungs), I did not want to waste the celebration. Little bit of downer there but it was the perfect place to be to celebrate an occasion that was special. Thank you Donna for allowing us to enjoy your perfect place. I hope we can come back one day.

Great 3 day stay
We lived in Ponte Vedra Beach for over 20 years and go back a couple times a year to visit friends. We always stay in a condo on the beach in the same area as this one. However, this was our first stay at this particular condo. It was excellent! Very clean, well kept, perfectly furnished and Donna has equipped the unit with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and there are even beach chairs and umbrellas available. Our only difficulty was with the electronic keyboard to enter the unit. I've used those things many times and never encountered one as confusing and loud as that one when it opens. Once you figure out the system, it's pretty easy to use but not intuitive at all. Be patient when you first get there! I used a few words I'm not proud of. Regardless, I would highly recommend this unit and we will certainly be booking it on a future trip.
