This VRBO was excellent, It was everything in the description and more. The Beach is steps away and you have to yourself. Absolutely private and so comfortable. The owners are there for any questions, we fortunately didn't need them for anything. I would recommend this VRBO for any couple that is looking to getaway.

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!

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.

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!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The cottage was very clean, with luxe decor & the hosts had thoughtful touches such as snacks & beverages as well as beach chairs & an umbrella available for use. We took advantage of the short walk to the beach with several walks & some beach time. We hope to return to this cute cottage next time we are in the area!

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!!

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.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The owners are very responsive and friendly. The beach is just across the street, about a 2 minute walk, through private access. The unit was beautifully decorated and fully stocked with kitchen equipment and supplies, nice toiletries, plenty of towels and linens — everything we needed and more. We will be back and are looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Rachel!

Great access to the beach did it know the apartment was over a garage that the owners use and live next to the home.
A little awkward, but a great place for a weekend trip.

A PERFECT weekend!
My husband and I had an amazing stay at the Gronberg’s property!! So many wonderful things about our experience…the communication from beginning to end, the beautiful neighborhood just a short stroll to the gorgeous private beach, the proximity to St. Augustine - one of our favorite go-to’s- and how beautifully appointed their place was. I am a certified, professional home stager and interior stylist and absolutely loved everything about their place!!! So well done! All of the essentials needed were there (and then some!) and the check-in and check-out process was super easy! We will definitely be staying here again!! Thank you Rachel and Stephan!

Cozy piece of paradise
This rental cottage is everything you need and more. Snacks, drinks, coffee, tea, spices, cooking gear, beach towels, absolutely everything. Bed was comfy, plenty of hot shower water, wifi worked great, actual TV channels available and not just wifi which is a big upgrade to most VRBOs, private beach access, and the list goes on. Host was super responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. We tried several of their recommended food choices and even did a little local kayaking. Great trip and wonderful place. Highly recommend it!

All around wonderful
The house was beautiful! A quick three minute walk to a beautiful, quiet beach. Close to many different places for a quick day trip or just to pick up something. Lots of good places to eat. The homeowners did a great job communicating directions, places to go around town, and information about the trip. 5 out of 5 for sure!!!

This place is a gem!
We had a wonderful stay! Property was clean and quiet - so peaceful. Rachel was so easy to communicate with, and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. So many thoughtful touches with snacks/drinks/supplies etc. in the house. The beach access was close, and the beach itself was gorgeous (we nearly had it to ourselves on Memorial Day weekend)! I’m a super detail oriented person and struggle to find vacation rentals that meet my standards in terms of cleanliness and overall attention to detail. The fact that I was able to walk in and just settle in to relax was WONDERFUL! Loved having the outdoor shower to clean off two sandy kiddos too! Lots of hooks indoor/outdoor for hanging up wet towels was super too! Thanks for everything! Hope we can come back for a longer stay next time!

I highly recommend staying here!

Great place to stay!
I don’t give 5 stars unless it is warranted. This place was great. The rooms were clean, updated and stocked with a lot of essentials. The owners have gone out of their way to make this a great experience. We had never even heard of Ponte Vedra before - just took a chance - and it is beautiful!

Perfect Ponte Vedra Beach Location
The space is so well done! It was quiet, comfortable, and clean. The host were so kind and hospitable and even went out of their way to provide a ride for us on our way to a local event. We called a Lyft ride and realized we didn't have a required mask to ride. I texted the host, and they provided some mask for us right away! Rachel and Stephan were so kind. The location is a short walk to a private beach and short drive to multiple restaurants and grocery stores. I can't wait to visit again when we have the chance!

Awesome stay!
The location was great! Close to St. Augustine and the beach, even though the weather was cold and rainy, not a typical florida day, we enjoyed it. Communication with owner is as easy and it’s just what you see on the listing.
Will definitely stay again for a longer weekend.

this property.
