Note: Our beach house is a single-family oceanfront home that we offer in multiple listing configurations (3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, or the entire house). These listings all refer to the same property and are simply different booking options designed to accommodate groups of varying sizes and budgets. This approach allows smaller groups to enjoy the home at a lower price point while still giving larger groups the option to reserve the full property. Only one reservation is accepted at a time, and the home is never shared between separate guest groups.

Absolutely loved our stay. The ocean views were incredible and our whole group had an amazing time relaxing and hanging out together. The best part: every bedroom has its own bathroom, which made getting ready super easy and comfortable for everyone. The home was exactly as described, and we’d happily stay here again.

Great time with famiy

This is a great property for large groups. We had 19, even though there were sleeping arrangements for 14. We had some children and a couple of air mattresses and were very comfortable. We really enjoyed having so many bathrooms (many of which were ensuite). The beach was wonderful (especially warm for December) and the kids played in the water for 2 days. We had a wonderful trip and would recommend the property!

Had a very nice vacation at the beach house. The owner communicated very promptly when questions were asked. We found appliances to be in good working order. The kitchen has space for larger groups. We had 14 and managed fine. Living areas are on two levels. So it minimized climbing lots of stairs. Had a great time.

About the host

Hosted by Francis Bagby

Host profile image
We're Frank and Amanda Bagby, owners of Bagby Properties. Frank is a United States Marine Corps veteran and Ohio State University graduate, and together we've built our vacation rental business around creating memorable experiences for families, friends, and special celebrations along Florida's beautiful coastline.

When we're not preparing our homes for guests, you'll often find us enjoying the same things many of our visitors come here to experience—walking the beach at sunrise, spotting dolphins offshore, exploring local restaurants, spending time with family, and discovering everything that makes St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach such special places to visit.

What we love most about hosting is helping guests create lasting memories. Whether it's a family reunion, wedding weekend, couples' getaway, or a simple beach vacation, we enjoy knowing our homes become the backdrop for special moments that guests will remember long after they return home.

As owner-operators, we're personally involved in caring for and maintaining our properties. We take pride in continually improving our homes, responding quickly to guest needs, and sharing recommendations that help visitors experience the area like locals.

South Ponte Vedra Beach has become our favorite place because it offers something increasingly hard to find—wide, uncrowded beaches, breathtaking ocean views, and a peaceful atmosphere, all while being just minutes from Historic St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach.

We look forward to sharing our little piece of Florida's coast with you and helping make your stay unforgettable.

Stay. Celebrate. Experience the Coast. 🌊🏖️☀️

— Frank & Amanda Bagby, Bagby Properties

Why they chose this property

Why We Love South Ponte Vedra Beach

South Ponte Vedra Beach offers something that has become increasingly rare along Florida's coastline—peace, space, and a true connection to the ocean. Unlike crowded tourist destinations, our stretch of beach feels relaxed and uncrowded, allowing guests to enjoy miles of beautiful shoreline without the crowds.

One of our favorite things is waking up to breathtaking sunrises over the Atlantic and watching dolphins swim just offshore. The beach is perfect for morning walks, shell hunting, fishing, surfing, or simply sitting with a cup of coffee while listening to the waves. The natural beauty here changes every day, making every visit unique.

We also love that South Ponte Vedra Beach offers the best of both worlds. While the setting feels private and secluded, you're only minutes from Historic St. Augustine's charming streets, restaurants, and attractions, as well as Ponte Vedra Beach's golf courses, shopping, and dining.

The nearby Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve adds even more opportunities to experience Florida's natural beauty through hiking, kayaking, paddleboarding, and wildlife viewing.

For us, South Ponte Vedra Beach is where families reconnect, couples unwind, and friends create lasting memories. It's a place where the pace slows down, the ocean becomes your backdrop, and every day ends with the sound of waves and a beautiful coastal sunset. That's why we love it—and why so many of our guests return year after year. 🌊☀️🏖️

What makes this property unique

Our oceanfront home offers a rare combination of direct beachfront living, privacy, and space on one of Northeast Florida's most beautiful and uncrowded stretches of coastline. Unlike many beach rentals, the home sits directly on the sand, allowing guests to step from the property onto the beach in moments while enjoying unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views from multiple levels.

One of the home's most distinctive features is its expansive rooftop observation deck, where guests can enjoy panoramic ocean views, spectacular sunrises, evening stargazing, and refreshing sea breezes. Combined with the oceanfront balconies, there are multiple places to relax and take in the beauty of the coast.

The home is also uniquely designed for groups, featuring private ensuite bathrooms for in all but one of the bedrooms, spacious gathering areas, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dedicated beachfront entertainment room with a pool table, poker table, speaker system, and board games. Whether guests are planning a family vacation, friends' getaway, corporate retreat, or intimate celebration, the layout provides both privacy and room to connect.

What truly sets the property apart is its location. South Ponte Vedra Beach offers wide, natural beaches, frequent dolphin sightings, excellent fishing and surfing, and a peaceful atmosphere without the crowds often found in larger beach destinations. Yet guests remain just minutes from Historic St. Augustine, Ponte Vedra Beach, golf courses, restaurants, and shopping.

As owner-managed hosts, Frank and Amanda personally care for and continually improve the property, ensuring guests experience a comfortable, well-maintained, and memorable beachfront escape.

Private. Oceanfront. Uncrowded. A true Florida beach experience. 🌊☀️🏖️🐬
