PRESENTING TURTLE HALL
Ponte Vedra Beach is a right sized community of just 40,000, and is just 30 minutes from Jacksonville Florida which has a SMA population of 1.4 million. he temperature is ideal with warm sunny days and cooler T nights. The rain is ideal for the lush tropical vegetation and often is simply a brief afternoon cooling shower. This along with the Atlantic coast Sea breezes makes for a delightful place to call home. Jacksonville has an international airport and two private airports to serve your needs…The St. Augustine Airport is also close by and used by many private aircraft. The Tournament Players Golf Championship is played here annually and the area is home to The PGA tour headquarters. There are hundreds of holes of golf in the area to challenge any level of player. The NFL’s Jacksonville Jaguars owned by Shahid Kahn play here at the beautiful river side stadium, EverBank Field. In this same area is a great Baseball Park and Convention Hall. In addition to all of the above…there is water, water everywhere for yachting enthusiasts, from wide St. Johns River, to the Intracoastal water way with its fabulous marshes and of course…you can sail the Great Atlantic Ocean. The area has too many benefits to list, but I encourage coming, seeing, and experiencing a higher quality of LIFE BY THE SEA.
