Ponte Vedra Beach Oceanfront Homes - Lois Marris of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL

Which Lifestyle Fits You Best?

Dreaming of a move to Ponte Vedra Beach, FL? You’re not alone. With its pristine beaches, world-class golf courses, and private club lifestyle, this exclusive coastal community offers the best of Florida living. But when it comes to choosing the right home, one question often comes up:

Beachfront or golf course?

The Good News: You Don’t Have to Choose

In Old Ponte Vedra Beach, many homes give you the luxury of both. Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the championship golf courses of the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, homes in the 100 block of Ponte Vedra Blvd are oceanfront while also being just steps from the greens. This rare blend of surf and fairway is part of what makes this neighborhood so coveted. These homes have 100' of oceanfront and all but a handful have a private pool as well. This may be some the most under-valued oceanfront land in Florida!

Enjoy 100' oceanfront lots in the luxurious North Ponte Vedra Blvd 100 block.

 

Why Buyers Love Beachfront Homes

Waking up to the sound of crashing waves, watching the sunrise from your lanai, and walking straight onto the sand—oceanfront homes offer an unmatched daily experience. In Ponte Vedra Beach:

  • Odd-numbered homes on Ponte Vedra Blvd are directly on the ocean.

  • Popular oceanfront condo options include The Breakers, Retreat, Ocean Manor, and Sawgrass Country Club’s oceanside units.

  • Since public parking is limited along the boulevard until Mickler’s Landing, beachfront feels surprisingly private.

  • Most residents join a club like the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, The Lodge & Club, or Sawgrass Country Club for beachside pools, restaurants, and social perks.

Things to Consider:

  • Beachfront homes typically come at a premium.

  • Salt air requires more frequent maintenance.

  • Deeded beach access is important for non-oceanfront homes nearby.

Why Buyers Love Golf Course Homes

If golf is your passion—or you just love the view—living on a course offers peaceful, green surroundings and a built-in social lifestyle.

  • The Pointe Condominiums on San Juan Drive offer golf course views and are a short stroll to the beach or Surf Club access through club membership.

  • Sawgrass Country Club features both golf course and oceanside homes and condos.

  • The Plantation at Ponte Vedra Beach is an equity club community with golf, tennis, and a private beach club just a short drive away.

  • Many homes in Old Ponte Vedra offer both fairway and lagoon views with extra-large lots and close proximity to the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club.

Things to Consider:

  • Some golf course homes offer more privacy than beachfront.

  • Lower maintenance and fewer salt-related issues.

  • Club memberships may be required or included depending on the neighborhood.

Old Ponte Vedra Beach: Where Golf Meets Sand

If you’re seeking the classic Ponte Vedra lifestyle—walks to the beach, early tee times, club socials, and sunset dinners—Old Ponte Vedra Beach is hard to beat. Bounded north of Corona Road, east of A1A, and south of the Duval/St. Johns County line, this area offers:

  • Walkability to the Ponte Vedra Inn & Club, beach, and golf course

  • Homes on larger-than-average lots

  • A blend of oceanfront, golf course, and lagoon views

  • Elevated price points due to proximity, prestige, and limited inventory

Want Beach & Golf Without the High Price?

You can still enjoy the best of both worlds without a $10M+ estate. You can live near or in a club community without being required to join the club. There are 12 public beach access points in the North Ponte Vedra Beach area as well as public golf course options (ex TPC). Consider:

  • Even-numbered homes on Ponte Vedra Blvd – across the street from the beach with lower pricing and near club and public golf options

  • Sawgrass Country Club residences – some with lagoon or golf course views. You'll also have both a Sawgrass community beach access or beach club membership if you want the pool and restaurant amenities.

  • The Pointe Condos – walkable to both public beach access and golf with membership options

Just be sure the home comes with deeded beach access, is close to public access, or allows you to join a beach club for a worry-free experience.
