Don is American, retired from corporate America. I'm German, used to be a college teacher and now dabble in writing. I have grown-up children in Germany. That's why we like to go to Germany every year if possible. We downsized after Don's retirement to this cute little house in a wonderful location. We love to travel, read, and explore other cultures. We usually combine 2-3 trips when we go to Europe. After a pause during Covid, we'd like to try this again. Hopefully, our house will appeal to a nice couple/family that would like to do an exchange with us!

Read More...Dear Sigrun, dear Don, Thanks for letting us have such a wonderful vacation in your fully climatized house which is also furnished to a high standard. You prepared and organized everything superbly. We enjoyed sitting in your patio and watching the animals (geckos and wild geese). Your big Toyota was fantastic to drive to Ponte Vedras’s terrific, wide beaches with all the beach equipment you provided and to explore the country. We particularly liked the “Springs” and kayaking there as well as the Everglades and the Keys. The highlight of our trip was swimming with the dolphins in “The Theater of the Sea” in Islamorada. They also had smaller shows there with parakeets, dolphins and sealions. The snorkel-boat tour in the John Pennekamp-Coral-Reef was a fantastic experience as was Seaworld in Orlando. Numerous impressions, from remote, quiet places in nature to the hustle and bustle of the big city of Miami never ceased to amaze us. Everything we saw in the USA was well cared for and people everywhere were very friendly. Many thanks for everything, Conny, Martin und Jonas

Read More...Tout est bien, la maison, l'environnement, la situation géographique et l'ambiance. Ponte Vedra Beach est le lieu idéal pour découvrir la Floride dans ce qu'elle a de plus authentique. Loin du tumulte de Miami, la vie de cette station balnéaire, ses plages de sable interminables et quasi désertes sont un régal pour petits et grands.Le beau temps et l'eau chaude invitent à la baignade. C'est un point de départ parfait pour visiter un grand nombre de parcs naturels et de jolies coins. Si vous aimez le golf, ça ressemble au paradis. Nous n'avons qu'une envie : Y retourner.

HomeLinker since 2010. Looking for summer exchanges from June to September! Golf Galore! Conveniently located to the PGA tour, the beaches, the St. John's River and St. Augustine - the oldest, historic city of the USA. Ponte Vedra is the beachfront close to Jacksonville where the International Airport is. Daytona, Orlando and Disneyland are within a day's trip, as is the Kennedy Space Center or airboat rides in the northern Everglades of Central Florida. To the North, Savannah is a must see. With its mild weather all year round, it is an ideal spot for water sports, nature parks and starting point to explore the rest of Florida. Situated in a quiet, safe cul-de-sac, yet close to all amenities and the beaches.NO PETS, please! Have a look at how beautiful Jax Beach is: http://www.surfline.com/surf-report/jacksonville-beach-pier-florida_5315/ (Beach Cam)

We just moved house to this pretty location close to the beaches- and golf courses! We added on an extension which gives more living space while retaining the wonderful view onto the lake. Peaceful and quiet, lakes with blue herons, geese, ducks, tortoises, and anahingas. You can kayak on the lakes! Lovely to watch. Amazing sunsets!The house has a cosy feel thanks to the lovely furniture and some antiques.
