About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Ocean Pearl Retreat – South Ponte Vedra Beach
Note: Our beach house is a single-family oceanfront home that we offer in multiple listing configurations (3-bedroom, 4-bedroom, or the entire house). These listings all refer to the same property and are simply different booking options designed to accommodate groups of varying sizes and budgets. This approach allows smaller groups to enjoy the home at a lower price point while still giving larger groups the option to reserve the full property. Only one reservation is accepted at a time, and the home is never shared between separate guest groups.
Our beach house is a private 3-bedroom oceanfront home designed for relaxing coastal stays with family and friends. Located directly on the sand, the home offers unobstructed Atlantic Ocean views, private beach access, and spacious indoor-outdoor living areas so guests can fully enjoy the natural beauty of South Ponte Vedra Beach.
The home features four comfortable bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, providing privacy and convenience for groups traveling together. The fully equipped kitchen makes it easy to cook meals at home, while the open living and dining areas offer plenty of space to gather, relax, and enjoy the ocean views. Large windows throughout the home bring in natural light and the calming sights and sounds of the beach.
Step outside to enjoy multiple outdoor spaces including an oceanfront balcony and a large rooftop patio—perfect for morning coffee at sunrise, evening drinks with ocean breezes, or stargazing at night. With direct beach access just steps away, guests can easily walk down to the sand for swimming, fishing, shell hunting, or long peaceful beach walks.
The home is located in South Ponte Vedra Beach, a quiet stretch of Florida coastline known for its wide natural beaches, dolphin sightings, and relaxed atmosphere. Despite the peaceful setting, you're still conveniently close to the best of the area:
15 minutes to Historic St. Augustine – explore centuries-old architecture, restaurants, and attractions like the Castillo de San Marcos
15 minutes to Ponte Vedra Beach – golf courses, shopping, and dining
25 minutes to Jacksonville – sports events, concerts, and city amenities
Easy access to Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve for hiking, kayaking, and wildlife viewing
Guests who book the 3-bedroom listing receive exclusive use of the entire home during their stay. The property is never shared with other groups, ensuring privacy and a true oceanfront retreat experience.
Whether you're planning a family beach vacation, couples’ getaway, or relaxing coastal escape, this oceanfront home offers the perfect balance of comfort, privacy, and breathtaking views.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.
