About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

See, smell, hear, and feel the ocean in your backyard, just 10 steps away! 🌺

Looking for a romantic & fun time with sun & moonrises over the ocean? This is it. A great place to create lasting memories. Engagements, celebrations for anniversaries, birthdays, and sharing time; mother daughter, father son, sister time…. Or “me” time. Beach is great for swimming, surfing, shelling, fishing, walking, and relaxing to just sit & watch & listen.

Condo
First floor, direct access to beach within 10 feet.
Hear the sounds of the waves. Smell the salt air.
See beach activities: ships, sailboats, dolphins, fish, birds carrying their catch, parasails, and more on any given day. Watch the tide roll in and roll out. See breathtaking sunrises & speechless moonrises. Look for the stars and ships passing in the night and day as your troubles melt away.

This 900 sq foot 1 bedroom, full bathroom with tub & shower, and kitchen all with direct access to walk onto your beach front property is awaiting you. A hose is located at end of walkway to rinse off your findings, chairs, and feet. Your door is a few feet from your oceanfront walk & view.

Updated tile, paint, crown molding, granite countertops, brand new refrigerator/freezer with ice-maker can all be yours with a fully equipped kitchen (drip & Kruger coffee makers, oven toaster, blender, counter grill, microwave, oven, electric stove top, etc).

This unique little gem is a perfect retreat to get-away, be together, or work within a solitude and quietness as the Atlantic Ocean energizes you & refreshes your soul.

After your fun filled activities; enjoy a restful time watching your favorite TV shows via streaming as you see the ocean waves.

Your walks on land or beach will be filled with extra sights of multi-million dollar estates and private clubs stretching miles going north or south. They are amazing in size, design, and style. Then, you have the natural beauty that is priceless of beach. Your time & experience will be cherished. Nearby Dining: Publix Sawgrass Shopping Center:
Nona Blue-ask for high top table outside or sit at outside bar facing road. Ask for their homemade guacamole/ salsa & chips.

Reviews are solely my opinion from my experience over the 40 years of dining out. As you know, everyday is different, moods and experiences are personal and that’s what makes them fun.

Ratings are based on a learning curve taking my top favorite places. I am recommending all of the above. The list is not all inclusive… so, if you are wanting more variety.. goggle is our friend.

View: relates to outside, and not to be confused with inside ambulance.
No star, no view to speak of outside

Five star best view of outside
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Food Taste & Service

How do you choose?
Is view more important?
Then go for the most ⭐️’s.
The food at all is good.

Suggestion, first day in:
Nona Blue High Top or sit at outside bar facing road. Afterwards, shop at Publix, arrive at condo ready to relax.
You are seven minutes from condo.

Bon Appe’tit! I live nearby in the event you need anything. I want you to be comfortable & have anything you need. Overtime, I have added what guests have suggested. Please, feel free to text & or call me on my cell. I would love to hear from you, just let me know everything’s ok, or, if there is something you need. Thank you for choosing 659A Retreat 11. 🏝️🌺 donna🪷. I have added a concierge package as an additional arrangement. It can include stocked kitchen, guests privileges to private clubs for gym & dining, heated lap & family pool, hot tub enjoyment for the most extravagant experience.

Nice Location with Great Beach View
The property is as advertised and the Host made communication quick and easy before, during, and after the stay (even with the frustration of the VRBO App / site not working - had to use chat with host for which she was quick to respond). The condo is well supplied, clean, with nice quick access to the non-crowded beach.

Love this place!
This place is absolutely wonderful. The beautiful view and ability to walk straight out to the beach is just one of the reason I would want to stay here whenever I am in the area. The apartment is extremely clean, has beautiful decor, and is very quiet, not to mention one of the most comfortable beds I have slept in. Donna is the ultimate hostess, making sure your stay is worry free. The multiple amenities and extras Donna provides eliminates those frequent trips to the store to get those small things needed when traveling. We hope to visit again soon!

It was a fantastic stay, amenities left nothing out that made it a wonderful place to stay. Just ten steps to the walkway down to the beach. The owner provided us with plenty of restaurant selections. Our favorite was Aunt Kate’s. Ten minutes to a Publix and stores. Overall rating should be a 10.

Ocean Front Retreat
Approaching this oasis, we were greeted by a premium parking space that was closest to the entrance of this amazing property. Entering the living room, we found smart furniture and a 65" TV. Which we enjoyed winding down in the evenings. The king size bed was so comfortable with luxious sheets. (We plan to purchase the same brand for our home.). We noticed how a solid night sleep enhanced our experience. The full kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. By the way, there are shops and restaurants near by. We enjoyed sitting in the adirondack chairs drinking coffee on the lenai while watching vividly colorful sunrises. Just through the glass doors from the lenai, we enjoyed access to a private beach. The ocean sounds and breeze made walks on the sand extremely peaceful. The host was easily accessible and responsive. WELL RECOMMENDED!

Perfection
I cannot say enough about this property. From the booking to the check out - everything was perfect. Donna was quick to supply any and all information needed to make our stay perfect. When we arrived, the unit was clean and neat and everything was just as described. We immediately put our things down that we bought and walked out to the back porch (although I am not sure you could call it that - it was just an extension of the living area) and sat in the chairs and admired the view which was perfect. The first night, we were able to watch the moon rise and we got up early each morning to watch the sunrise. The weather was wonderful - not too hot and not too cold - just perfect. It was almost like we were on a private beach. We had stopped by Publix on the way because, we knew when we got here we would not want to leave so I cannot recommend any eateries. This was a trip for our 38th wedding anniversary - not a "monumental" year but since I am currently being treated for stage 4 breast cancer that is now in my lungs (I went through all the treatment 6 years ago for stage 1 breast cancer and was declared cancer free but it came back one year ago in my lungs), I did not want to waste the celebration. Little bit of downer there but it was the perfect place to be to celebrate an occasion that was special. Thank you Donna for allowing us to enjoy your perfect place. I hope we can come back one day.

Great 3 day stay
We lived in Ponte Vedra Beach for over 20 years and go back a couple times a year to visit friends. We always stay in a condo on the beach in the same area as this one. However, this was our first stay at this particular condo. It was excellent! Very clean, well kept, perfectly furnished and Donna has equipped the unit with everything you could possibly need. The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and there are even beach chairs and umbrellas available. Our only difficulty was with the electronic keyboard to enter the unit. I've used those things many times and never encountered one as confusing and loud as that one when it opens. Once you figure out the system, it's pretty easy to use but not intuitive at all. Be patient when you first get there! I used a few words I'm not proud of. Regardless, I would highly recommend this unit and we will certainly be booking it on a future trip.

Everything was wonderful!! Loved the location. The only issues we had was the hallway as getting repainted, new carpet so alot of dust was brought into the condo.
