There is a sliding door that leads to the screened oceanfront balcony. Master bathroom has a walk-in shower, double sink, and toilet.

Blue Gem is located in South Ponte Vedra Beach, just about 10 minutes north of historic St. Augustine and 15 minutes south of TPC Sawgrass in Ponte Vedra. In St. Augustine you will find countless restaurants, bars, gift shops, historic sights and more. My kid's personal favorite attraction is the Alligator Farm and Zoological Park. There are plenty of golf courses in the area, for all levels, so bring your clubs! We are 55 minutes from the Jacksonville International Airport. Disney is a 2 hour drive and Daytona is 1 hour away. There are several great restaurants within a ten minute drive. There is a Publix less than 10 minutes away and a convenience store just 1 mile away. My favorite things about our beach home are the views over the ocean and walking the beach. Watching the sun and moon rise over the ocean is stunning. It makes for a great start and end to each day. We are far enough away from town centers to have great star gazing on a clear night. We love to walk the beach in the morning. This natural beach is renowned by shell and shark tooth hunters. A Megalodon tooth was found just 1 hour north last year after a storm. Finally, the beach is very private with the nearest public access points more than one mile away in either direction. Our favorite places to go out are Cap's On the Water and Aunt Kate's just 5 minutes away, Nona Blue, Mr Chubby's Wings (great for sports fans), Valley Smoke. We also love walking the historic cobblestone streets in St. Augustine where there are countless bars and restaurants to explore. Our favorite golf destinations are the World Golf Village where there are two courses, Bill Murry's Caddyshack restaurant and the World Golf Hall of Fame, The Yards, Queens Harbor, St. Johns Country Club, Eagle Harbor and of course the legendary TPC Sawgrass. TPC Sawgrass has two courses, the world famous stadium course where The Players Championship is held every year and Dye's Valley. Both are very difficult so bring lots of golf balls. The Stadium course is very expensive, Dye's Valley can be more reasonable. Both share the same club house, restaurant and practice facility. if you don't play, its worth going for lunch and exploring the amazing facility. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Outdoor shower - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Computer monitor - Desk - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near a hospital - Near a zoo - Near the bay - Near the marina - Near the ocean - On a river - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Snorkeling nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,800 square feet ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27930000/27921300/27921295/98f9be52.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cute Oceanfront House with Almost Private Beach 8 min to Downtown St Augustine South Ponte Vedra Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 185 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-19&endDate=2025-10-20&selected=27921295&PinnedHotelID=27921295&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV, fireplace](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36370000/36367800/36367771/8acf234d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Great Escape Oceanfront on Ponte Vedra Beach!

Our family of 7+ (2 parents, 2 grandparents and triplet 14 year olds plus our dog) really enjoyed staying at Blue Gem! The house was clean and well maintained. We LOVED the screened in porch, fire pit, and super easy beach access. It was also super awesome to have the entire property fenced and gated so our pup could roam free! Great management with quick and easy communication and response. We were missing some pans during our stay and communicated that with the management team who quickly (same day) dropped off boxes of new pans!!! The only downside of the entire house was the master bed mattress... way too soft and needs to be replaced. Other than that, a true 5 star experience! We will be back!!! ##### Charles N.

Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great location for some quiet R&R We had a wonderful vacation at this property! The hosts were awesome and checked on us throughout our stay to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. The home was perfect for us as it was right on the beach! The property was as described and VERY clean! We loved the fire pit right there by the ocean! So relaxing! The only "issue" was getting to the beach from the steps. Erosion made it difficult to navigate. It was obvious the hosts had attempted to make improvements by building up the sand at the steps but Mother Nature was already breaking down the sand. My spouse - who has mobility issues - was unable to actually get down to the beach because of the erosion. Thankfully the view was incredible so she was able to enjoy the ocean without actually going down to the beach. I will note other properties near them had the same issue so it wasn't just this property. And some were even worse than this property! Doggie Parents: The property is welcoming of doggies and the beach is dog friendly (on leash). However, finding a place to take the dog to do his "business" was difficult as there isn't any flat, grassy areas on the property. We walked the dog along the street which was very busy with fast moving vehicles. Waze User? When navigating to the Vilano/St. Augustine area from the property, ignore what Waze says! LOL! Turn LEFT out of the property! Only takes about 10 minutes to get the Publix at Vilano. Waze always wanted us to turn right which takes a lot longer! ##### Lynn B.

The house was lovely and very comfortable. The ocean views are beautiful and sitting next to the fire pit in the evenings was so relaxing! We greatly enjoyed our stay and would love to return soon! ##### kimberly b. Stayed 7 nights in May 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gemma G.

Everything was very clean, plenty of amenities in and around the home, the comfiest bed you could sleep on, and gorgeous views. Property is well maintained and management crew is very responsive. I especially loved that the living area is on the first floor and the screened-in balcony on the second floor. Great experience! ##### Crystal H.
