If you have never been to the Northeastern part of Florida, I highly recommend it for your next family vacation destination! Tucked away in St. John’s county, is a beautiful town called, Ponte Vedra Beach. It is conveniently located just 18 miles southeast of downtown Jacksonville and 26 miles north of St. Augustine. Just a short 30 minute drive from the JAX airport. Beautiful beaches and gorgeous Florida weather is what you’ll find here.
We had the opportunity to visit the Sawgrass Marriott Golf Resort & Spa, along “Florida’s Historic Coast” and it did not disappoint, in fact it succeeded our expectations leaps about bounds.

I’ve never had the opportunity to visit that part of Florida. This sounds like a great place to stay for a family. I love rooms with fridge and microwave myself, they’re so convenient.
