The house
Ponte Vedra ResortsMediterranean beach club
Red-tile roofs and stucco loggias edge the Atlantic dunes, where guests share ocean lawns and pools with private club members.
What it’s good at
Notable
Two oceanfront pools paired with a waterslided family splash park right on the beach.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Along residential Ponte Vedra Boulevard, minutes from the oceanfront golf courses and village shops.
The rooms
Private balconies and patios look straight out over the surf, and many rooms add working fireplaces.
The water
Bring a swimsuit.
The pool and gym
The oceanfront pool sits on a brick terrace lined with white lampposts, and the gym adds forty workout stations.
At the table
The Oasis sets tables along the dunes, and Sea View Grille serves local Mayport shrimp under a conical beam ceiling.
How it began
New York banker Tommy Sabin bought this oceanfront plot in 1940 to build The Innlet, a seasonal thirty-two-room inn.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
