Great location

The awesome: Peaceful location on the shoreline! Barely saw people. Missed seeing the turtle but there were tracks and a new nest one morning. Hostess is great. Texted useful information. Download Willyweather app. So accurate we subscribed during our stay. Screened in porch is awesome as it rained a lot. Older kitchen (70s?) but fully stocked. Extra linens, beach towels a plus. Beach chairs available in good condition. Spent our time on loungers outside. The not so bad: Disappointed to find we would not be able to use the garage like previous rentals. In our experience listings specifically state this when you cannot. The first picture in the listing is the double garage. We never did receive an answer as to who we could contact if we could not get in since we were arriving late. But owner kept in touch and code worked. Home is older as described by others. Bathroom needs remodel. It was fine for just my husband and me but we did not care for the super small shower. Hardware is rusted as described in other reviews. Ceiling 'mold' others describe seemed to be residual staining from a previous leak? Idk. House did not smell moldy and did not leak while we were there. Recommend painting ceiling. It's a little disappointing to see that for the price. The not so bad did not keep us from having an awesome trip. Overall hospitality and location are more important to us than the age of everything. Recommend for a couple looking for a quiet vacation.

Perfect Privacy

A nice clean little place with amazing privacy for a beach trip these days. The location could not be better! You can spend a whole lot more to have more house if that's your thing but if you're all about being outside and having room to roam this is the perfect place to do it. Nice place and really enjoyed it.

Home Away From Home!

This beach house was a great little gem for my husband and I. We enjoyed our stay! The kitchen was fully equipped and we were provided plenty of towels. We loved how we could open all the screened windows and very much enjoyed the screened porch. We felt like we were home away from home. A few things to keep in mind when renting this house, it is very close to the beach so naturally the wood and screen porch are weathered and worn from the sea mist. This is a perfect house for a couple or a family with older children. Young children would not do well in this house. There are no laundry options in this house - which would have been nice for us because we stayed here at the end of a 10-day vacation. The stairs leading to the house are very steep and it is a grassy driveway which we were not expecting. Although the house seems to be in a remote part of the island, there are towns both north and south within a short drive if anything is needed. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Old Florida Style Beach House

The owner was very responsive and very nice which was greatly appreciated. Check in was easy. House was clean and tidy. This was the perfect little beach house for my visit to Florida to see my son and grandchildren. The house has everything you need to enjoy your time at the beach. The outdoor shower was nice and we really enjoyed sitting out on the covered deck. Dolphins were delightful to watch in the early morning and the sunrises were beautiful. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it if you like comfortable and cozy right on the beach.

Never had a chance to stay. Paid a week in advance and the day before my trip i recieved an email less than 24hrs before my trip that the room was u available and canceled still havent recieved my refund so paying for another place to stay was out of the question. My first time renting an a guesthouse for a vacation and i porbably wont ever again. Atleast a hotel can find you another room...

Spring Break

We (my wife, son age 7, daughter age 9 and I) booked the beach house for spring break. It was perfect for us. Right on the beach close enough that I was able to keep an eye on my kids from the screened in porch. The house has everything you need for cooking in or grilling out. The private outdoor shower was great for rinsing off after a long day on the beach. The house was very clean and close to Saint Augustine and the Jax Beaches. There are plenty of good restaurants within a short drive of the house. The check in and out process couldn’t have been easier. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay here again. My kids loved it.

In need of repair and maintenance

It was easy to contact the host, and we did find them to be responsive. The home is in an area that has lovely quiet beaches I would be remiss if I didn’t share my concerns about the safety of this property. There is potentially a mold/mildew problem causing a musty smell. The deck is rotting and not only would be quite the bed of splinters for barefeet, but hazardous in my opinion as the boards bow and give when you walk across them. If you opt to visit this home please use extreme caution when standing near the railings. They are not sturdy. Flaked peeled paint is seen on multiple surfaces along with rust. While these are challenges of being in the salt air, a quick look around the area of other homes will show you that with regular maintenance and care it is that is avoidable. When I addressed these concerns with the owner after one night a small portion of our rental cost was refunded. We are grateful for that accommodation, but somewhat disappointed in the amount they deemed a fair amount. In the end we are home and safe.

Beautiful Old FL Beach Home

Clean, quiet, well stocked “old FL” beach home. Walk off the porch onto the sand. Plenty of comfy seating inside and out for snuggling in with a book. Super quiet beach…like it is your private beach. Less than 15 mins to groceries and restaurants. Enjoy a quiet, comfortable long weekend at this beautiful home just like we did. Thanks!

This home sits on a beautiful section of the Ponte Verdra beach the waves crashing outside your door! We throughly enjoyed the sunrises each day and collected numerous shells on our daily walks on the beach . Diane was very attentive and even arranged for flowers to be there when we arrived that were just beautiful ! This is a little slice of paradise !

Perfect old Florida beach house

This was a perfect house. We have been vacationing at South Ponte Vedra Beach for over 20 years and it is the best beach in Florida. Very private and works just right for our needs. The house is lovely and had everything we needed. The porch is a perfect place to sit with morning coffee. Will definitely be back.

This place was amazing, the beach was quiet and not crowded. The access was perfect and the house was well equipped. The beds were comfy and so was the living room furniture. I highly recommend it!!
