About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

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:

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.

Brief vacation stay
Everything was wonderful!! Loved the location. The only issues we had was the hallway as getting repainted, new carpet so alot of dust was brought into the condo. And a ceiling fan would have been helpful in the bedroom as it was hotter than the rest of the condo. BUt overall, a wonderful experience.

Great spot
This is a lovely location right on the beach. The host makes check-in and check-out super easy, and she quickly responds to messages. The patio is lovely with a ceiling fan and glass doors that slide open with screens so you can enjoy the ocean both covered or on the sand. It has easy access to the beach. We struggled not having a ceiling fan in the bedroom because we are used to having it on, but the temperature is perfect so you don’t need it to stay cool. We will stay here again in the future, but will bring a power strip to make plugging in all our electronics easier. But overall, we had a wonderful stay and enjoyed the amazing location.

Everything was just as described and the check in process was seamless. I love the privacy of this place where it seemed like a home away from home.

Perfect Mini-Vacay
My husband and I wanted a mini-vacation prior to our large family vacation. It was total relaxation from Thursday till Monday. What a wonderful location just steps from the shoreline! A beautiful enclosed porch (glass and screen) provided the perfect spot to watch the sunrise, have breakfast and evening cocktails. The condo is well stocked for those who like to cook (we do). Also, conveniently located to many great dining locations, seafood market and shopping. A perfect condo for a couple’s vacation.

Visiting our Dayghter
We decided, last minute, to take the long weekend to visit our daughter who is interning in the area. Everything in the listing was met and exceeding our expectations! Perfect place for my husband and I to enjoy a little get away and also see our daughter. The beach is literally steps away. The "neighborhood" is quite and the "residents" so very friendly. Everything we needed was there: two beach chairs, two beach towels, well stocked kitchen, small toiletries in bathroom for any forgotten items, a full length mirror in the bedroom, plenty of glassware. We didn't cook in the room, but it appeared to be well stocked for cooking. Our favorite was the porch! We spent the most time there! Our daughter came for the day and did schoolwork (grad school) on the porch with that beautiful view. There is shopping, grocery and restaurants very close by, 5 minutes. But don't overlook driving into Jacksonville to enjoy River and Post's rooftop; we will try the more upscale downstairs on our next visit! Donna is a great host, easy communication and check in/out. Thank you for sharing your lovely beach with us! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎

10 feet to the ocean; what more can you ask for? The condo was so comfortable, the patio right there at the ocean, the rest of the accommodations were great, easy to get around neighborhood too! What can I say about Donna --- let's see it would take me longer than anyone reading this. She was so friendly, understanding of any of my needs, rushed right over when I called, nothing major though. Responded to me the day I left to wish me well on my journey home.. Who does that? I would definitely stay here again. Hopefully it will be available, this is some place to stay, people!! Take care, Donna; I wish you happiness forever in your life. You are real with the short time I had to get to know you!
