Welcome to The Great Escape! This oceanfront gem is located in the heart of beautiful, quiet and serene Ponte Vedra Beach. The house boasts 3 story beach living with amazing window and deck views and outdoor spaces, sleeps 8 and has been completely renovated from the ground up!

The home has a newly remodeled, studio, mother-in-law suite on the first floor with its own private entrance, private kitchen, bathroom, sleeping space with king bed, living room, 55` smart tv, laundry and outdoor space.

More than 3,800 sea turtles hatch on Ponte Vedra Beach each year, and the Guana Reserve works hard to protect the wildlife that`s right outside our door! Outside on the property, enjoy visiting on the large balcony that includes a charcoal grill, a picnic table for beachside cookouts, reclining lounge chairs around the firepit for relaxing, and the perfect hammock for an afternoon siesta by the sea. This section of beach offers a lot of privacy, sounds and views of breaking waves, amazing seashells and some of the best surf fishing around, so bring your poles and catch dinner! In the evening enjoy the firepit while kicking back in the Adirondack chairs to enjoy the cool ocean breeze with a bottle of wine. Beach chairs and beach games are also provided!

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.

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.
