BRAND NEW ADDITION TO THE DESTINATION PARADISE FAMILY!
Welcome to “Vitamin Sea”! This beautiful 4 bedroom oceanfront home is located in the heart of South Ponte Vedra Beach. Inside and out, you will find bright, open spaces that are great for gathering your friends and family. It is located right on A1A, is across from a secluded marsh (no homes across the street), and is less than 15 minutes from historic Downtown St. Augustine and world famous Sawgrass golf course and country club!
Upon entering the house, take the split staircase up to the main level of the home (2nd floor). Here you will find a welcoming living room complete with two sofas, large wall mounted TV, and views of the Atlantic horizon. One of the best spots in the house is the dining area, as it sits in the northeast corner of the house and has six picture windows offering views all the way up the beach and out into the ocean. The dining table comfortably seats 8. There is bar seating for three more at the breakfast counter. The kitchen is very roomy and features all stainless appliances, including an oven, microwave, toaster oven, and an in-island flat-top stove. The kitchen is fully stocked so the chef in your group can make all of your favorite meals.
The master bedroom is located on the 2nd floor. Being on the ocean side of the house, you will wake up to the sunrise and the sound of the ocean every morning! This bedroom features a welcoming king bed, dresser, ceiling fan, and a large TV. There is a large en-suite bathroom that has his-and-hers sinks, a huge garden tub, and a separate shower. There are plenty of drawers and cabinets for you to store any personal items. The 2nd floor balcony is spacious, spanning the width of the house. It has several Adirondack chairs and parts of the balcony are shaded during the afternoons. The balcony can be accessed from the living room and the master bedroom. There is also a powder room/half bath off of the living room.
Downstairs, on the first floor, you will find two more bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with a queen. Both bedrooms have dressers, ceiling fans, and TVs. The king bedroom is on the front side of the house and the queen bedroom is on the ocean side. These bedrooms share an adjoining Jack-and-Jill bathroom which has a toilet, sink, and shower. Just across the hall from the queen bedroom is another full bathroom. This bathroom also has a sink, toilet, and shower. This bathroom is great for rinsing off when coming in from the beach. It is also the bathroom that would most likely be used for showering for guests from the 4th bedroom on the 3rd floor, as there is only a half bath up there. Also on the first floor is a laundry room and a secondary refrigerator/freezer.
The 2nd floor has a tight spiral staircase that leads up to the bedroom on the 3rd floor. This bedroom is usually used by kids or teens. It has a queen bed and two twin beds. There is a half bath with a sink and toilet. There is NOT a shower on this floor. The most likely bathroom for guests staying the 4th bedroom is to use the full bathroom on the 1st floor. The 4th bedroom has two small balconies; one looking west over the Guana Preserve (perfect for sunset views), and the other looking east over the Atlantic. Please note that the exercise bike and gym equipment is not available for guest use.
The ground level patio area is expansive and a great place for everyone to gather. This area features a two-tiered patio with multiple sitting areas, a built-in fire pit, and a large patio. There is an outdoor shower to rinse off in. The garage is well stocked with beach chairs, boogie boards, beach toys etc.
