Summer Vacation in Ponte Vedra Florida

Water Water Everywhere.

Ponte Vedra is beautiful place to take the family for a summer vacation. Located on the east coast of Florida on A1A, the beaches span for hundreds of miles from Jacksonville to the Florida Keys. Ponte Vedra is well known for its quiet beaches, great restaurants and ample golfing. Rental homes range in price and accommodations, from one bedroom to homes that can sleep several families. Prices range from the affordable to the extravagant, but the time you will spend on the beautiful beaches will be worth every penny. Ponte Vedra Homeowners rent out their homes by the day, week or month.

For the past two years our family and friends have spend a week in August in a lavish home only a few feet from the beach. The home was beautifully decorated with all the amenities right down to towels and toothpaste. This particular 3 story home had 5 bedrooms and 4 baths. Balconies on every floor, flat screen TV’s in every room, hot tub, and surf boards.

To wake up in the morning to hear the surf and to watch the sun rise from the balcony is worth every penny we paid for the week. It is more than a holiday when family and friends can spend time together; we all look forward to this special week of vacation. The children and grand children love to swim all day, while the adults indulge in adult beverages and prepare great food for the grill.

Fun places for day trips include the oldest town in Florida, St. Augustine, or Marine Land which are only a few minutes drive. We took lots of pictures, and we are all looking forward to next year.

Jib,

Great Hub about this beautiful area of Florida. For planning purposes please define affordable, and are your accomodations as described in the affordable price range?

Thank you all for stopping in. This home was professionaly decorated, and the first time we walked in we were afraid to sit down, but everything is such a high quality and durable it soon becomes your second home. Prices can start as low as $200 a week and up, this particular home is around $2,500 a week, but if you have 4 families sharing it's more affordable.

I'm going to be in Florida on the Gulf coast this coming Christmas (2010). My Mom and I have a condo in Clearwater. He place isn't as lavish as this one - but it's a very nice condo and the Clearwater beaches are amazing.

Florida is a super place just about anywhere. This house is AMAZING! I've only driven through Ponte Vedra - and it is gorgeous!

Always love your Hubs!

Hey Jib, Love Ponte Vedra. I was stationed at Naval Station Mayport back in the 90's. I spent a lot of time out there. It was absolutely gorgeous. Nice to know it hasn't changed.

Say no more - Florida is my favorite state. One day I'm planning to move there. I have relatives there and enjoy its lakes, ponds, swamps and oceans....

Nice hub

Renting someone's beach front property for a vacation or holiday sounds like a great idea. It looks and sounds as though it worked out really well for you and your entourage. I would like to check into this further before our next trip. Thanks for sharing the great idea and the awesome pictures too. Saving this one to my favorites!
