Excellent Guest House

What a wonderful experience. Very quiet upscale area and nicely furnished guesthouse. Owners are great and attentive and the rental was stocked to the nines. Ended up being an unusual winter storm during our stay so spent a lot of time inside. Very cozy. Will be returning soon.

Great Spot

We loved our stay at Rachel and Stephen's place, the beach there is beautiful and access was a breeze (once we spotted the gate - it felt very Secret Garden. We also were right down the street from family members who have homes in the area, so convenient. The extra snacks were appreciated, the kitchen was well-stocked with essentials like butter, olive oil, spices, coffee, tea, etc. We also loved the re-usable k-cups for the keurig as my daughter and I had packed loose tea and there was no kettle. Overall a great stay and would stay again!

Perfect!!!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay, highly recommend it and hope it will be available when we come again to Ponte Vedra to visit our son. The unit was very clean, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The master bedroom is separate, has another TV and the king size bed is extremely comfortable. Everything you need is provided, lots of towels, beach chairs, BBQ, and even little snacks! The location is perfect with easy across-the-street access to the beach! Rachel is a wonderful host who was easy to reach and kept in close communication to make sure everything was going well. Thank you Rachel for being a wonderful host!

Beach getaway

The cottage was lovely! Even better in person than in pictures! The host provided many extras that spoke of her thoughtfulness and care for guests. Everything was spotless. The walk to the beach was quick and easy, and it was a joy to sit at the beach listening to and watching the waves! It was also pleasant to sit on the deck outside of the cottage, enjoying the breeze and sounds of nature. It is a very peaceful place to stay, and is highly recommended! Thank you for sharing your cottage with us!!

5+ STARS!!! Magical Seaside Escape Perfection: Spring Break Memories that will Last a Lifetime.

Our family recently had the pleasure of staying at this seaside guest house in Ponte Vedra, and I must say it was an amazing experience. The location of the house is everything - just steps from the beach with a private access and perfectly placed in this lovely community. Quite possibly the most wonderful spring break and beach experiences to-date. The house itself was ideal for our family. The space is very well designed, with a beautiful and modern interior. The amenities provided were top-shelf, with everything one could need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The house was immaculately clean, and the owners were friendly and welcoming, making us all feel right at home. Their attention to every detail and quick response time ensured that we had everything we needed for a memorable stay. We appreciated the extra touches like snacks, toiletries, fresh towels and linens, as well as the thoughtful recommendations for local attractions and restaurants. Whether you are a Family of 4, a solo traveler, or friends looking for a getaway; We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a luxurious, quiet and unforgettable experience. The combination of the stunning location, impeccable design, and exceptional service truly make this guest house a 5 star experience. Look no further, you have found the most relaxing getaway in one of the most beautiful locations in all of Florida. We're already looking forward to our next stay. -The Shealey Family
