Check out unique and renovated accommodations in St. Augustine and Ponte Vedra Beach.
Florida’s Historic Coast includes St. Augustine, the oldest city in the United States, and Ponte Vedra Beach, home to the PGA TOUR and THE PLAYERS Championship.

There is plenty old-world charm and seaside elegance found along Florida’s Historic Coast, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t lots of new adventures and fun waiting for visitors.
