The Dunes Estate – South Ponte Vedra Beach - Private Beach Access

The Dunes Estate - Private Beach Access, Rooftop Patio & Endless Atlantic Views

Wake up to the sound of waves and breathtaking Atlantic sunrises at this private oceanfront retreat in beautiful South Ponte Vedra Beach. Designed for unforgettable coastal getaways, this spacious beachfront home offers the perfect setting for family vacations, reunions, retreats, and relaxing escapes with friends.

Step inside and discover bright, open living spaces filled with natural light and panoramic ocean views. The home features 6 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms, providing plenty of room for everyone to spread out, unwind, and enjoy their own private space. The fully equipped kitchen makes gathering around meals effortless, while the spacious dining and living areas invite guests to connect, relax, and create lasting memories by the sea.

Outside, you'll find multiple spaces to soak in the coastal beauty. Sip coffee while watching the sunrise from the oceanfront balcony, enjoy afternoon sea breezes, or head up to the expansive rooftop patio for stunning panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and Florida's natural coastline. With private beach access just steps away, your days can be filled with swimming, shell hunting, fishing, dolphin watching, or peaceful walks along miles of uncrowded shoreline.

South Ponte Vedra Beach is known for its quiet, natural beauty and laid-back atmosphere, offering the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. You'll be just:

• 15 minutes from Historic St. Augustine
• 15 minutes from Ponte Vedra Beach dining, shopping, and golf
• 25 minutes from Jacksonville attractions and events
• Minutes from the Guana Tolomato Matanzas Reserve for kayaking, hiking, and wildlife viewing

Absolutely loved our stay. The ocean views were incredible and our whole group had an amazing time relaxing and hanging out together. The best part: every bedroom has its own bathroom, which made getting ready super easy and comfortable for everyone. The home was exactly as described, and we’d happily stay here again.

Great time with famiy

This is a great property for large groups. We had 19, even though there were sleeping arrangements for 14. We had some children and a couple of air mattresses and were very comfortable. We really enjoyed having so many bathrooms (many of which were ensuite). The beach was wonderful (especially warm for December) and the kids played in the water for 2 days. We had a wonderful trip and would recommend the property!

Had a very nice vacation at the beach house. The owner communicated very promptly when questions were asked. We found appliances to be in good working order. The kitchen has space for larger groups. We had 14 and managed fine. Living areas are on two levels. So it minimized climbing lots of stairs. Had a great time.
