Location

Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is located in Ponte Vedra, between Jacksonville and St. Augustine Florida. The area has roots as a mining town during WWI which then became a popular resort location during the twenties when Ponte Vedra Inn & Club opened its doors in 1928.

This is a part of the coast that is not lined with high rises. You can experience Old Florida. It’s a great home base for exploring the area, but you will find plenty to do right there.

Service

Staff at Ponte Vedra Inn & Club is excellent. Some of the staff have been there for 20+ years. It lends a family-owned vibe to the resort and you get the impression that the staff are invested and truly care about your experience.

Accommodation

There is a variety of rooms to choose from. If you prefer a more traditional look, you can stay in one of the rooms that feature dark wood, plaid and floral prints. Or you can choose newly renovated rooms with fabulous textural elements and layered patterns. Both styles have character and charm.

Pool Scene

There is a huge family pool with life guards. There is also a lap pool below the gym. Both pools have views of the ocean, but of course you can choose to swim in the ocean as well. The spa pool is serene and has massaging jets and waterfall. It’s worth having a spa treatment just to have access to the pool.
