Ponte Vedra Beach is a town of about 23,000 residents located on the Atlantic Ocean between Jacksonville, Florida and historic Saint Augustine, Florida - America's oldest city.

Located at the northern tip of St. John's county, it has what many consider the finest schools in Florida. Ponte Vedra is the world headquarters of the Professional Golfer's Association (PGA) Tour and world headquarters of the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). The World Golf Village and the World Golf Hall of Fame are just a few minutes' drive away. More than two dozen professionals make Ponte Vedra Beach home. The PGA Tour Player's Championship tournament happens each March at the Stadium Course at the PGA Tour Headquarters in Ponte Vedra Beach.

Ponte Vedra Beach is on a barrier island created by the Intracoastal Waterway. A magnificent beach stretches its entire seven-mile length, and it is bordered on the south by the 13-mile long Guana State Park, which is inhabited by thousands of magnificent birds (including great herons and bald eagles)!

Strategically located, Ponte Vedra Beach is only 30 minutes from downtown Jacksonville (home of the NFL Jaguars), 30 minutes from our excellent International Airport, and 25 minutes from Saint Augustine. Orlando and Disney World are only slightly more than a 2-hour drive down I-95.

Ponte Vedra Beach is a golf mecca, home of several excellent country clubs with 153 holes of championship golf. It is also home of a number of marvelous private oceanfront clubs.

Outstanding fishing and sailing abound on the Atlantic Ocean, the Intracoastal Waterway and on the magnificent St. Johns River, which flows through the middle of the city of Jacksonville.

First Time Buyers >The Real Bottom Line An important part of buying a house is sitting down with your real estate agent or a mortgage lender to get a clear idea of how much you can afford. They will add up all of your monthly expenses, the mortgage payment, insurance, real estate taxes, homeowners or condo association fees--and the grand total can throw you into shock! The important thing to remember is that the grand total isn't really the bottom line. When you add your tax savings to the equation, you may be pleasantly surprised. During the early years of your loan, almost all of the mortgage can be deducted from your state and federal income tax. The same is true of your real estate taxes. If you use part of your house as a home office, you may be able to qualify for additional tax savings. In some areas, homes with ground floor apartments are popular for offsetting part of the mortgage and offering even more tax savings. When you make calculations about the monthly costs that include the tax savings, you may find that owning your own home is less expensive than renting a house or apartment of comparable size.
