About this property
Oceanfront | Large Deck, Fire Pit & Putting Green!
Summary:
Beachside Paradise - Oceanfront Remodeled home. Beach Front vacation rental with private beach access in Ponte Vedra Beach Florida. Fire pit on large ocean front deck and putting green. Family friendly. Handicap friendly.
The Space:
Beachside Paradise - located in South Ponte Beach FL is right below Jacksonville, FL. and a short drive to historic St Augustine Florida, the oldest city in the USA.
The entire home was beautifully remodeled in 2022, featuring all-new furnishings, updated flooring, fresh paint, modern kitchen appliances, and a reimagined upstairs floor plan. The upgrades extend outdoors as well, with a spacious new deck, a paver walkway steps to the beach, an outdoor shower, a cozy firepit, and even a putting green for added fun and relaxation.
This home's front entrance is flat and main living area is on the ground floor w/ 2 bedrooms and full bathroom on ground floor. Perfect for handicapped guests or anyone with difficulty to get upstairs. This home boasts great ocean views located on a pristine stretch of Florida coastline between Ponte Vedra Beach and St Augustine.
The ground floor is the main living area with a very open floor plan, featuring a huge Family Room, Dining Area, Kitchen, and even a breakfast bar; all with plenty of windows to enjoy the panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Also, on the ground floor there is an oceanfront bedroom (Bedroom 3) with a queen-sized bed and its own sliding glass doors that leads straight out to the deck. As soon as you wake up you’ll see the beautiful sunrise and the great Atlantic Ocean. Lucky few will spot dolphins jumping out of the water and pelicans diving to catch their fish of the day.
Lastly, bedroom 4 is often called the “Kids Room”, which includes two twin sized beds. They will enjoy looking for shark’s teeth and seashells, building sandcastles, boogie boarding, surfing, or even surf fishing.
Check out the new kitchen, with its completely overhauled beautiful new countertops, cabinets, and most importantly, appliances!
The deck includes areas perfect for sunbathing, a small-shaded space, putting green, firepit and of course, a grill! From the deck, it’s only a few steps down to the beach, and the waves and sand that await you.
Upstairs there are TWO master bedrooms, each with their own full private bathrooms, king sized beds, and a shared access beach front balcony! Bedroom 1 and Bedroom 2. When you get to the top of the stairs to your left is a full bathroom right off the 1st Bedroom. This bedroom has a King size bed and a shared balcony to enjoy the view and ocean breezes. The 2nd bedroom to the right of the stairs is the Master Suite with a king size bed, full en-suite bathroom and it also has a shared balcony with the Bedroom 1.
Imagine stepping from your bedroom onto your balcony and soaking up the famous Florida sunrise!
Special note for our disabled friends and people who don’t much care for climbing steps! The entire first floor is handicap 'Friendly' Please note that is not fully ADA Compliant. All the common living areas, the two downstairs bedrooms, and a full bathroom (with a convenient walk-in shower stall) are all on ground floor level. However, this is a 2-story unit with no elevator! Other than the two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, everything else is on the ground floor.
This vacation home has everything you need for the perfect vacation, private beach access, a fully equipped kitchen, free high speed wireless internet, board games, YouTube TV in the main living. You will find the furniture in the Living Room more than comfortable and perfect for a home on the beach, great for relaxing and spending time with family and friends.
After a day or two to just unwind at the beach, you may want to try this: Drive south for about 10 minutes and you will be in historic St Augustine, 'The Oldest City in America'. Here you can tour the original 400+ year old fort, take a horse and carriage tour, or check out the shops on famous St. George Street. St. Augustine offers restaurants from family style on a pier to gourmet restaurants. There's plenty of family fun sightseeing, dining, shopping and recreation!

Guest Access:
This is a single family oceanfront home! The guests have the entire home, front and back yards, beach access and even a garage. It's your own private space on the beach!
The Neighborhood:
I love this area because it feels so private. At the same time you are about 5 minutes from 3 great restaurants, about 12 to 15 minutes from the heart of St Augustine and 18 minutes or so from Ponte Vedra (an upscale area) with top golf courses (TPC at Sawgrass) and restaurants such as Ruth`s Chris and other fine eateries.
Getting Around:
We highly recommend having a vehicle available. Public transportation is not really an option.
Other Things to Note:
*** Minimum Stay: 4 NIGHTS
This home is not ADA compliant, yet with the common living areas being on the ground floor, it is great for people that cannot navigate stairs. The large deck runs the length of the home with the best of both worlds; a sunny area for the sun worshipers and a nice shaded area under the upstairs balcony. Speaking of the balcony, it`s a great place for your morning coffee overlooking the beach and the Great Atlantic Ocean with the porpoises jumping and the pelicans sky-diving for their breakfast. Very entertaining!
Interaction with Guests:
We are always available if and when a guest needs us. We make it easy and safe, using a unique lock code with the guests chooses for the electronic door lock. We don`t require that you stop by our office or make you meet us at the home for access. We LOVE our guests and we are there IF needed, otherwise it`s your vacation and we stay out of your way.

The home was positioned perfectly between my meetings in Ponte Vedra and entertainment for the family in St Augustine. The beach was perfect for the family. We would definitely stay there again. We appreciate the accommodations.
My family greatly enjoyed our stay! The bed was super comfy and the house had all the necessities to cook meals at home. We saw so many dolphins off the shore line and even got to witness a sea turtle come up to lay eggs! My favorite thing about staying in south Ponte Vedra is the privacy and proximity of the beach. Thanks for having us!
We had a wonderful time on the beach and enjoyed this home. It was the perfect size and layout for our family of 6 and a baby.

St. Augustine is a great vacation area
Bedrooms were comfortable. Bathrooms nice. Nice deck and appreciated the beach chairs. Overall the rugs and furniture upholstery need professional cleaning.
We Loved the beach house. Great location, right on the beach. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises. The deck was very extra roomy. The house had everything we needed, the kitchen was well equipped, there were even beach chairs and beach toys to use. The view was the best thing.
We had a great time at this house! Amazing views and easy access to the beach. The only reason we gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the bed in the downstairs bedroom was very uncomfortable. Would strongly recommend a new mattress. Everything else about our stay was perfect!!

MIchelle,
So glad you had a great time. Thank you for the information about the mattress. I will send it to the owner.
We look forward to your next visit.

With the exception of Hurricane Nicole damage to the deck area this home is a beauty! We enjoyed a large spacious home, perfectly appointed (especially the kitchen - it made cooking & eating in so easy). I have stayed in many VRBO homes and this one had EVERYTHING. We enjoyed the ocean breeze everyday coming through the doors. This home was recently updated and the bathrooms are HUGE and the tile design and craftsmanship was perfect! Our aging father was able to access everything inside the home from the first floor with no steps which was our reason for renting this particular home! The owners were caring and handled all our inquiries compassionately and quickly. We will definitely be back!

S Ponte Verde Beach
The property was older than it looks online. When we checked it the downstairs shower door was very dirty. The toilet seat was cracked and both shower drains backed up. We cleaned the shower door and put a drain cleaner down the drains so that we could shower without standing in water. The back gate wasn't secure and blew off in the wind. Also the ice maker wasn't working and the refrigerator door was missing almost all the shelves..
We did have a goodtime and wished the weather was better.
This home was a beautiful home right on the beach. We enjoyed every part of it. The only problem we had with this property management is there are lots of hidden costs and we never got our $150 refundable damage deposit back that they said was refundable. They said it really wasnt refundable and have now changed the wording to say non-refundable. Same with the $500 deposit at time of booking that was supposed to be credited towards rental costs. Also they overcharged me taxes and they did refund that cost, but if i didnt watch my numbers, they would have overcharged me. So to sum it up, beautiful home but watch your hidden charges and dont plan on deposits being returned to you.

Hi Melanie,
I apologize for the confusion on the fees. The $500 deposit was included in your final amount. Unfortunately, we have to charge other fees to pay for bills and offer the best service. As for the taxes the county and state tax anything they can. The accommodation fare, cleaning fee, property fees. We have to remit taxes monthly.
Keep in mind booking directly is cheaper.
Please give us a call and we can work out a discount for next time!

Great location & private
Overall the house was very nice & the area was great. We had some issues getting into the house on the 1st day but the property manager was quick to resolve.
The house seemed very clean overall, but there was small & unnecessary things unkempt that could easily be addressed with more attention. The sofa could use a professional cleaning as it has stains on it. The upper windows in the living room were cloudy & looked like they hadn't been cleaned in quite a while. There was a bag of moldy food left in a cabinet. There were odd unfinished projects in several rooms, particularly the bathrooms like missing towel racks (but holes in the wall for them) or paint on the mirrors. None of this is reason not to stay here because the location is beautiful & the house is nice. It just seemed like there were some contractors or cleaning people that may have taken shortcuts to the owner's detriment.
All in all, I would stay here again because as I said, it was beautiful. There were some supplies like paper plates & washing supplies left by previous renters which was a nice helper. All rooms were very clean. We saw flocks of pelicans fly by the windows every day. There was an abundance of seashells to sort through as you walked a very quiet beach.
Well stocked house for a stay at the beach. Amazing view and location. Very easy drive to St. Augustine. Owner was very responsive if we ever had any questions.
This property is perfect for a couple or family to spend some quality time at the beach. Halfway between Jacksonville Beach and St Augustine. Beautiful home and well appointed for a perfect vacation.
The property was beautiful!! Great size with appealing decor. It was right on the ocean, and the deck/outdoor space was amazing. We had a couple of minor issues, but the property manager was extremely prompt in resolving them. Very happy with the rental overall. Would definitely recommend!
Wonderful experience! Clean home with all our family needed. We saw between 4-6 dolphins each day and found many silver dollars! It was an amazing family vacation! Highly recommend!
The location was just right and the view was perfect. My daughter had a wonderful time. There are no tubs so bring something if your toddler does baths. Stocked well and just want my daughter and I needed.
We had a wonderful time at this house! It’s very beautiful and the location is perfect. We had one issue arise and the property manager took care of it right away! The only problem we had, was the house did not have a bathtub for our 1 year old but we managed! Overall, it was a great stay and great people to work with!
Nice Recently Renovated Property Beach Front Property
Great beachfront property with recent renovations. Bathrooms all have walk in showers with frameless grass and are very nice and spacious. House has large deck area. Beach and dunes has also just undergone replenishment.
Awesome vacation destination! Beautiful oceanfront home! We had a few issues with the home that were taken care of in quick time. Would recommend the property management team install a few full size cooking sheet pans and a pair of good kitchen scissors and fix the ice maker! All in all a great vacation! Will definitely look to go back!

About the host
Hosted by Vacation Quest Beach Homes
I am the property manager, the owners purchased this fantastic beach house in 2005, We (Vacation Quest Beach Home Rentals) started managing Beachside Paradise May 2009. I am a native of the Jacksonville Beaches / Ponte Vedra Beaches; my family dates date to the 1600's. In my teenage years I was a lifeguard and a member of the American Red Cross Volunteer Life Saving Corp, celebrating the 100th Anniversary in 2012.
My parents owned a hotel in Jacksonville Beach also in my teen years. I LOVED the hotel business. After 18 years as an executive in the seafood business, I became a Realtor, owned and managed a RE/MAX Office, then an opportunity to get back to my first love, the hospitality business this time as a manager of vacation rental homes. It is so much more fun than the traditional real estate business.
Why they chose this property
Beachside Paradise is a fantastic and fun oceanfront beach house. It is perfect for a family vacation, a couple of small families, a romantic getaway or even a couple of couples. You walk directly into the common living areas (Living / Dining / Kitchen) of the home with its high ceiling and massive windows all the way to the ceiling. Naturally the living room comes with a brand new 52 inch, 1080i flat screen TV for your entertainment.
Also, on the ground floor is the 2 nd bedroom with a queen sized bed and perfect views of the Great Atlantic Ocean. From this bedroom, you have brand new sliding glass doors where you can step out onto the deck overlooking the beach. The 3rd bedroom is also on the main level, with a full bathroom between these two bedrooms.
The entire upstairs is the Master bedroom complete with Jacuzzi tub (for two) a King sized bed, lots of windows with the views of the beach / ocean. You slide open the new glass doors and step onto the private balcony with two chairs and just the right sized table between the chairs. Early mornings, grab your favorite cup of coffee, step out though the doors onto the private balcony; watch the dolphins playing in the surf and 8 to 10 pelicans fly by in perfect formation. This is beach life at its best! The bathroom has a huge shower! Be forewarned, there is a shower head on both ends of the shower! It is quite a surprise when you are not expecting the rear side to get the water. Don’t say I didn't warn you! This home has everything that you need for a perfect fun vacation.
What makes this property unique
This is a very unique beach house! There are very few beach homes that you do NOT have to climb up steps to get to the common living areas! This is ONLY of TWO beach homes that we manage that doesn't require many steps. If a member of your party is not very good at negotiating steps, this home is perfect. This home is NOT ADA Compliant BUT it is VERY disabled friendly.
If you have for an example; a grandmother along on the trip maybe to spend some time with and watch the children; from the time she steps out of the car, she does not have to go up or down any steps. The second bedroom has a queen bed and ocean views, a full bath next door and the kid’s room is on the other side of the bathroom.
Also, to get to the beach, it is only about 6 or 7 steps to the sand. ALL of our other beach homes do not have this great feature. Great price, views, deck, and the ocean all at a price you can afford! All of this at Beachside Paradise!
