Fall Sunrise & Sunset Paradise Found

The Blue Gem Beach House is a wonderfully charming, cozy and immaculate 3 bedroom, 3 bath oceanfront home located in South Ponte Vedra Beach. Everything that you could want in a beachfront property, is right here.

Floor one: Drive thru gated entry, to a paver driveway. Enter into a cozy sitting/dining area. The dining table seats six and counter seats three. Ocean views abound. Enjoy the perfect size galley kitchen w/stainless steel appliances, granite countertops. The kitchen is stocked with cookware, dinnerware, and small appliances. Newly added dedicated beverage bar for spirits and glassware. Beyond the kitchen is a den with a sofa with coffee table, a recliner and a large Smart TV with sound bar. Great for watching movies or sports. There is a full bathroom with claw foot tub on the first floor. The laundry room is on the ground level.

Floor two: Bedroom one is the spacious master bedroom with incredible views of the beach and ocean. Sleep tight in the king bed while listening to the sounds of the waves. There is a sliding door that leads to the screened oceanfront balcony. Master bathroom has a walk-in shower, double sink, and toilet. There is a desk in the bedroom with a monitor and printer, which makes for a great place to get a little work done or research where to go on your next adventure. Bedroom two is on the ocean side of the house. It has a queen bed, dresser, TV, and a door that leads to the screened balcony. The third bedroom has a twin-over-twin bunk bed, with an additional twin mattress in the trundle. Perfect for kids or adults. Bedroom three also has a TV. The second and third bedrooms share a full bathroom, with a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet.

The second floor screened porch spans the entire length of the back of the house. This is a great area to enjoy the breeze, and views of the beach while staying out of the sun. On the south side of the house, is an open deck, with full sun exposure, and the spot to watch the magical sunsets. The backyard offers a large paver patio and two sand dunes. There is an outdoor grill, outdoor shower and plenty of seating on the patio, as well as a table for enjoying lunch outside. At night, gather the group around the stone fire pit while enjoying the stars above.

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.

Exquisite property
The perfect beach getaway for a family of seven plus a dog. Not too far from town but far enough to feel like you are getting away. The view is amazing. House is beautifully decorated. Has everything one could need, fully stocked kitchen, plenty of towels, a cute dog area outside, dog toys, children’s toys, books, games, etc. we loved our stay.

Cabana
The place was like a little cozy Cuban cabana. The price of $600 per night dBeach is 100 yards from the back door is a plus but cars going 60mph back and forth all night is a minus. Pictures on rental advertisements are inaccurate. It is an older home with aged exterior and much smaller than pictures depict.

Wonderful Beach House!!!!
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!!!

Waited 101years to stay
Wanted to stay where my 101year old Mother could watch the waves. The weather kept us indoors , but Mom always had a terrific view. Windy an cold, she sat inside at the patio doors and slept and ate with a perfect view. Milder days she sat in the screened porch or got a little sun on the south deck. Great parking and beach access.

Graduation trip
We love St Augustine and wanted to take our family and celebrate our son graduating from High School…. 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!

Lovely Home
A lovely little property as close as one could get to the beach. 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!

A true GEM of a place!. See sunrises in amazing glory. Well-maintained, well-furnished. We loved the screen porch on the second level. Thank you, David & Daphne for sharing your home with us and our daughter and our furry friends. We ate great local seafood at Cap's on the Water and The Reef, about 4 miles down the road.

Love love love this house! Had the best time with our family. Highly recommend this house if you are looking for a peaceful beach experience with your family. Great location. Just a short drive to all the cool shops and restaurants in the area. A week was not enough time to explore everything St. Augustine has to offer, we just have to go back next summer! Can’t wait to stay at the blue gem again! Thanks for sharing your house with us!
