The Great Escape Oceanfront on Ponte Vedra Beach!

Our family had an amazing time and made memories to last a lifetime. The property was clean, the communication for check in and check out with the owner was exceptional, and the views were breathtaking. It was so nice having coffee, breakfast, and lunch feet away from the beach. We hope to return in the future.

Amazing view and beautiful place!

Awesome location and amazing quiet beach. Check in was easy and the host was incredible.

Location was excellent. Beach access was terrific.

The location was excellent, but the house needed some upgrades, especially the towels and rugs!

The House was not as we expected and description is unacurate. The floors were uneven. The kitchen was very small with old appliance and not fully equipped. Definitely it needs some upgrade. The bedsheets and towels needs to be change. They were dark and old. The mats around the house were dirty. The bathroom also very small and uncomfortably with barely any space to place toiletries. The bedrooms were small with a super tiny unuseful closet. Which was full of garbage and has not a space for your luggage. We found roaches inside the house. The host was attentive and the check in was easy. The view and location of the property were really good but definitely the house needs to be updated. I won’t consider renting this property again.

The beach view is amazing. Private beach so was quiet and peaceful. And steps by the patio, so very easy access. The entire house was clean and all ready for our arrival. The host was awesome and very responsive. We would most definitely stay here again. I highly recommend it!

My family and I really enjoyed house. Just the right size for the four of us!

Absolutely awesome!! Surf fishing was the best. We caught several varieties. Beach was not crowded as there is no public access to this part of the beach. Water was unusually clear for this part of Florida (so the locals tell me). House was great -- clean, stunning view from the living room. Communication with owner was fast and friendly. I hope to get the opportunity to stay here again.

Good property, simple, the beach is the main attraction. Completely separate floors top and bottom, bottom floor surprisingly is a bit warmer with the AC on. Great deck top and bottom. No dishwasher, minimal pans. 90% of time spent outside, so house doesn’t need to check all the boxes. Slept 8 comfortably. Good value for the area

Comfy, cozy. Away from everything and close to anything

My husband and I enjoyed all aspects of this cozy beach house during our 3-week stay. Great oceanfront location. Enjoyed both the sunny upstairs deck and shady downstairs deck. Very responsive host when we accidentally locked ourselves out after a long walk on the beach :)

Great place to stay, right on the beach! Watched dolphins from deck! Kitchen was well stocked and the bed was very comfortable. Nice being close to St. Augustine. Would definitely stay here again

This place was a great location to be on the beach. We felt at home and got the feel of what it would be to live on the beach.

The host is super responsive and a good communicator. The house needs work- pictures look good online, but the place needs some tlc. I was not aware that the master was separate from the rest of the house. Its like two different rentals stacked on top of each other. The ceiling was leaking onto the bed post in the master. On the main floor the flooring around some of the air registers were mushy and sink in when you step on them.

We loved the location and were able to visit St. Augustine and Amelia Island from there. Beautiful uncrowded beach in September. We made the best of the rainy weather. St. Augustine is beautiful! The house had a few issues - the window on the main level was leaking badly and dripped all the way to the jnlaw suite’s door so we used towels to catch the drips. Our friends said they saw a lot of roaches in the inlaw suite, some of which walked on them during the night. The gas stove’s front burner dial came off and we needed assistance from the contractor to turn off the gas and the ignition. Other than that, we had a good time anyway.

Great private location. Inside is a little beat but worth every penny

Great place to stay with family!

The location of the house is great. They have everything you need for the beach. The house was a little smaller than anticipated, but the room below is a bonus! The kitchen could be stocked a little better. There were 4 adults and only 2 wine glasses. Also we needed a pan to warm up chicken and there was none. They were minor things. I would recommend this house!

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location is great. The house was a little smaller than anticipated, but the room below was a bonus. The kitchen needs to be better stocked. We had 4 adults - there were 2 wine glasses. We bought chicken from the local Publix and there was no pan to warm it up on. The lounge chairs in this pic don’t exist. They had some, but not at all comfortable. I also have a problem with being charged $400 for a cleaning fee and then having a list of chores to do. Especially with a house that size. Overall, the location made this property. It had all the stuff needed for the beach. The kitchen just needs more supplies.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location sells this house. The beach is rightcout the door, which is exactly what we wanted. And there were no crowds to deal with. Most of the time we nearly had the beach to ourselves. Yes, the house was on the small side, but it worked for us. I would have liked a bit more space in the 1st floor bathroom (particularly the vanity area) but we got by. Enjoyed spending time on the porches and the firepit area when we weren't on the beach. The host, Brian, responded promptly on the couple of occassions we needed something. I would recommend The Great Escape to anyone looking for a low key beach vacation.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: No issues with check-in, detailed instructions provided. The house is a compact layout, but it is functional. The downstairs suite is wonderful. The sunrises were amazing as is the constant ocean view with no obstructions. No dunes, no boardwalks, just open beach and the ocean. Highly recommend and would stay here again.
