About this rental
3 bedroom, 3 bath beach house with an inviting back yard and incredible views!
Welcome to "Driftwood". This 3 bedroom 3 bath oceanfront home is located in the oceanfront community of South Ponte Vedra Beach, between Jacksonville and St. Augustine. It is situated in a private area of single family homes (no high rises or high traffic here!)! It is serene and quiet....yet the house is just 7 miles from historic St. Augustine and 15 miles from posh Ponte Vedra.
"Driftwood" has a unique floor plan that offers plenty of privacy in each of the three bedrooms, and has a very inviting social area in the living room and the oceanfront sun room. The house was remodeled in the Spring of 2015. Driftwood is decorated in wonderful ocean colors, and each room has it's own character. The living room features comfy leather sofas and chairs which surround a large flat screen TV. There is a stereo with CD player, plus books, and games for the entire family to enjoy. The oceanfront sunroom has a daybed, perfect for snuggling up with a book, or stretching out for a lazy nap. There is also a work space for your lap top, should this be a working vacation. Free WIFI is available throughout the house. There is a decorative (non-functional) fireplace with a stunning mantle made from a 300-year old piece of drift wood.
The remodeled galley kitchen is fully equipped with everything that the most demanding chef could request. The solid surface counter tops and cabinets are new. There is plenty of counter top space for food prep. The kitchen features a full size refrigerator, plus there is an additional fridge in the garage for extra groceries. There is a glass-top stove, overhead microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and more. There is a door that leads outside to the gas grill. We provide the propane for the grill. There is a laundry room off of the kitchen, so you can keep those sandy bathing suits clean. The dining area features a beautiful wood dining table with seating for 8.
The master suite is on the ocean side of the house, so you can listen to the sounds of the ocean at night. The king bed is covered with plush, comfy bedding and pillows. The remodeled master bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower.
The second bedroom features a very cozy queen bed and full bathroom. There is a shower-tub combination in this bathroom. The third bedroom has a full size bed with a pull out trundle underneath. This room is great for teens, children, or a young couple. There is a full bathroom in this suite as well, featuring a walk in shower. Every bedroom in the house has a flat screen SMART TV with basic cable provided by Comcast.
The back yard is a wonderful place to gather. There is are two wood decks that overlook the yard and the Atlantic Ocean. One deck features a beautiful teak patio set with plenty of seating and a table that seats 8 for an ocean front lunch. The other deck has recliners for you to work on your tan. The back yard has a brand new bulk head, with just a few stairs that lead you down to your own beach.
Other amenities include: optional temporary beach club membership, 2-car garage, beach chairs, umbrellas, towels, toys, 4 TVs, high speed Internet, books, games, and more.

Wonderful Home
The pictures are accurate! The view through the living room windows is amazing. Two of the 3 bedrooms also have a view. The back deck was just perfect; I would sit on the lounge chairs to the right when you exit the back door to watch the sunrise and in the evening hours. The deck to the left is wonderful to escape the strong sun in the middle of the day. On one of our days, it was very windy and overcast--I stayed on the deck most of the time, just to watch the roaring waves and the power of the sea.The house itself is lovely and thoughtfully furnished. Again, the windows to the water just grab you as soon as you enter. The kitchen is very nice and is conveniently right next to the washer and dryer area. Everything is very clean!

Beautiful Home and great service
I will start with the home - spotless with every imaginable thing you would need to feel like you are at your own home. That's wonderful, I know, but the ocean in the backyard is the greatest. Just a few steps down to undiscovered sea shells each morning and the sounds of the surf all day.We had a little trouble with a VCR connection and that was corrected almost as quickly as we hung up the phone.We would stay in this home again anytime.
