Captain's Quarters - located in South Ponte Beach FL is right below Jacksonville, FL. and a short drive to historic St Augustine Florida, the oldest city in the USA.
This charming, quintessential A-frame beach house allows you to get the best of both words, the beach AND a pool!
This 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom, 3 story home is perfect for a small group of friends or family who want to get away from it all, and make lifelong memories. Featuring floor to ceiling windows with breathtaking sunrise views.
The first thing you notice pulling up to Captain`s Quarters, other than the iconic A-frame structure, is none other than the beautiful in-ground pool! Don`t feel like dealing with aquatic life or the fuss of sand, but still want to splash around? That`s no problem at Captain`s Quarters!
Walking through the front door, the first thing you see is all the natural light that luminates the open floor plan, kitchen, living room, and dining room, all surrounded by ocean views!
The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances and a cozy breakfast nook. The dining room table seats six and is spacious enough for evening meals with the whole group or organizing a game night! And if you`re tired from a long day of swimming in the pool or the ocean, the living room is a perfect place to sit back and listen to the waves, or sip on a coffee or cocktail.
The main floor bedroom can be found to the right as you come through the front door. Sprawl out on the king size bed and dream of adventures at sea! Across from this bedroom is the downstairs bathroom, featuring a unique shower stall, complete with two benches, for ultimate relaxation!
Going up the spiral staircase takes you to the loft, the second bedroom. The balcony sitting area is a perfect hang out space for kids or teens who might want their own space. This bedroom has a bunk-bed containing both a full sized and twin sized mattress. Across the loft is a half bath, so there`s no need to climb stairs in the middle of the night! Also in the loft bathroom is the washer and dryer.
Continuing up the spiral staircase takes you to the final bedroom, a one of a kind en-suite master bedroom and bathroom! Enjoy the natural light and ocean views, either from the huge windows or from the privacy of your very own balcony! Soak your worries away in the jumbo sized jet tub or keep it simple with the walk-in shower.
The back deck has plenty of sunlight, perfect for maintaining your tan or catching up on your reading! The picnic tables, both at the pool and the deck, are perfect for serving up lunches before getting back in the water.
