Property HSD8803, Holiday Condo for rental in Atlantic Beach, Florida Gulf of Mexico, USA
The following information has been added by the owner of this property:
.Visit beautiful and quaint Atlantic Beach, just 1/2 hr. north of historic St. Augustine and 1/2 hr. south of Amelia Island. Atlantic Beach is a slow-paced beachside town with year-round activities and events for every age group. There is a quaint and safe downtown area with cobblestone streets within a 10 minute walk from"Seaplace". It hosts many fine shops, restaurants with live music and cafes.
Take day trips to the historic fishing village of Mayport, and hop aboard the Mayport ferry for a scenic trip to Fort George, or head out to sea on a casino boat cruise. The nearby Mayport Naval Station offers visitors a tour of destroyers and frigates.
Further south, Jacksonville Beach always attracts plenty of beachcombers, but history buffs will find the town is worth a visit as well. The Pablo Historical Park explores the role of the Florida East Coast Railway in developing the area and offers guided tours of historic buildings.
In Ponte Vedra Beach, active vacationers can enjoy world-famous fairways and championship tennis courts. The prestigious home of the PGA Tour headquarters, Ponte Vedra Beach offers visitors the opportunity to play the same courses that challenge professional golfers.
The Buccaneer Trail ends in St. Augustine, where 300-year-old stone forts and opulent turn-of-the-century hotels provide visitors with plenty to explore even before they reach the beach. On the way to the surf, take a slight sidestep to the distinctive candy-striped St. Augustine Lighthouse and Museum. Purported to be the site of Florida's first lighthouse, the view from the top is worth the climb.

Description:
Our 3 Bedroom Condo is located on Atlantic Beach, the oldest and most private of a string of beach communities that are along the Atlantic Shore near Jacksonville, Florida. Atlantic Beach has traditionally been a comfortable community of summer homes, gentle tides, radiant sunrises, and desirable residential privacy. At High Tide, the ocean is less than 300 feet away, with no streets to cross... and the balmy sea breeze never stops.
Imagine sugar-white sandy beaches kissed by gentle waves and glorious sunsets. Warm waters and salt air refresh the spirit, and a swim in the sea, a fishing trip or a round of golf just might relax the body.
The outside features of Seaplace boasts of beautiful landscaping, and 2 complete garden courtyards, very near the ocean. Our Condo is located all on the ground floor, and is but a few steps away from a large, outdoors, fresh-water swimming pool, for a refreshing dip anytime of day.
Large, sliding-glass doors separate your living room from a large Outdoor, enclosed Patio, surrounded by shrubs and flowers for complete privacy, when dining outdoors.
Inside, the Condo is fully-equipped with an all-electric kitchen, that includes refrigerator, stove, microwave oven, dishwasher, pots and pans, etc. A separate dining room is provided with table and chairs.
This Beach Condo is tastefully decorated with light and beachy furniture, white tile floors and wood flooring.
Seaplace is on Ocean Boulevard, a short distance north of Atlantic Boulevard. From there, it's an easy trip to the bridges and downtown Jacksonville. The finest seafood restaurants are close by; also, a treasure trove of small shops; the quaint Atlantic Beach Courthouse and township tennis courts.
And everywhere, the soothing sound of the waves regulates an easy pace for living. It's quite possible that Seaplace is everything you've always wanted.....and then some.
