    We had such an amazing time at the beach house! The property was exactly as described — quiet, private, and exceptionally clean. The view of the ocean was breathtaking, and the easy access to the beach made every day feel effortless and relaxing.The home had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and we really appreciated how peaceful the area was. It felt like our own private retreat! The owner was fantastic to work with — very responsive, friendly, and made the entire stay simple and enjoyable.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a beautiful, relaxing beach getaway!

    Very pleased with our stay. Property was as described. Love the high ceilings and open design of ground floor. Home is obviously well cared for. We have rented several houses in this area over the years - many have problems with Palmetto bugs (cockroaches) - none here, thank goodness.Kitchen well appointed. Everything you need to fix meals instead of dining out every meal. Would have liked some plastic storage bowls with lids for leftovers. Would suggest some family games and puzzles. We had several days of rain and had to get creative to keep kids entertained.Lots of toys for the beach. Nothing lacking there.Had a great time - can't wait to come back.

    We can not say enough about this beautiful, well stocked home right on the beach. Absolutely stunning views from within the home as well as on the 3 different decks. We wondered how it would be with no pool for the week. It wasn’t even missed. There were plenty of chairs, boogie boards and toys for everyone. We had the Florida man come out and give us fishing lessons from the beach. It was such a fun activity. We caught everything from whitening, catfish, to baby sharks. A couple hammer heads as well as a black tailed shark. Plenty of room for everyone. The owners even replaced the washing machine while we were there wish I feel is great service. We recommend this home to any group wanting spectacular views with comfortable beds. Nothing negative at all in our experience. Thank you for letting us spend some relaxing family time in your home.

    Our family really enjoyed being together at Southern Tide. Fred and Jessica’s beach home is perfect for our children and for our grandchildren. The space is perfect for family time or for individual quiet time. The beach is just steps away from the home. We’re so grateful to have found this beach home that is perfect for all of our needs.

    We had such a wonderful time. The home was the perfect for our friend reunion. Everyone was comfortable and there was plenty of seating for 10. It’s always a treat to be steps from the ocean and close to St. Augustine. The hosts were very communicative and available if we needed anything. We would 100% stay here again.

    We enjoyed our stay! The house was clean, beds were nice, family room and kitchen are spacious. There are beautiful ocean views downstairs and upstairs. It is right on the ocean. It was cold when we were there so we did not go on the beach much, so it was great to have the beautiful views. It is so close to St. Augustine and restaurants. The hosts were very easy to communicate with. Hope to go back in the future.

    Our family of four adults and two children enjoyed this house, directly on a private beach, very much. The common areas are roomy and the layout afforded everyone enough room to relax and soak in the ambience of a true beach vacation. It has a huge kitchen and dining area, so no one felt cramped. The home is situated right on the beach, with, at its busiest, only about 20 people out as far as the eye could see. Outdoors was refreshing and peaceful with a gentle ocean breeze. We enjoyed walking the few steps to the water, dolphin viewing, beautiful sunrises, and, our dogs loved the grassy yard. The kiddos loved the beach floats and sandcastle tools. Overall, a wonderful find for us, which made for a great vacation. We felt that we certainly got a great value for our money. Thank you for sharing your beautiful and spacious home.

    We had such a great time here at Ponte Vedra Beach and St. Augustine. Your home was just as described. We had 6 adults and two grandkids that were 2. The house was well equipped and we had everything we needed. The owner was quick to respond to any questions I had. We also appreciated the help in finding a deep sea fishing charter. Thank you for letting us stay in your beach home.
