[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yet another person here planning on Ponte Vedra.[/quote]

We heard about PV through some of the blogs I was reading.  We thought we would check it out as a place to retire.  When I booked our flight to Jacksonville, I thought JACKSONVILLE, not a city that was on our radar.
Jacksonville is about 30 miles from the GA border.  Thus, great weather.  It comes with all the financial benefits of living in FL, but it's not south FL.  Yes, the summers are hot, we noticed similar to D.C., with a great ocean breeze.

We chose a community called Nocatee.  We drive around in a golf cart to shop, go out to eat, the gym, the pool, friends, etc.

Within Nocatee is the 55 and over community Del Webb.

It's gated/guarded and has an amazing lifestyle.  Folks here are from all over which keeps it interesting.

We are also 20 minutes from St Augustine, filled with history and great restaurants.

My husband and I are a bit impulsive and are known to just go with our gut with big decisions.  We came down to PV and started building a home within 48 hours of being here.  Then we went back to MD and kept asking ourselves, what did we just do!?  
That was 4 years ago.  No regrets.  And our kids love coming down here.

To answer that ever looming question, where do we want to live.....we went in blogs, just like you and found this place.[/quote]
