New gated communities in ponte vedra beach the day they list · free, no account

Ponte Vedra Beach's famous gates belong to its golf clubs — but 32082's gated living runs wider: an oceanside neighborhood with its own tunnel under A1A to the beach, a staffed guard house off Solana Road, and the most affordable gated address in the zip. This guide covers those (the club communities get their own guide), then lists every gated home currently for sale in Ponte Vedra Beach proper.

Ponte Vedra's gates beyond the golf clubs

Everyone knows Ponte Vedra's club gates. These are the other three — the beach neighborhood with its own tunnel under A1A, the staffed gate with a boat-and-RV lot off Solana Road, and the most affordable gated address in 32082. Two live listings from each. (Sawgrass, Marsh Landing, The Plantation, and the Players Club live in the golf guide; Coastal Oaks and Marsh Harbor carry Ponte Vedra addresses but sit on the Nocatee side of the Intracoastal — they live in the St. Johns County guide.)

Turtle Shores

South Ponte Vedra · A1A corridor

Turtle Shores' signature amenity is one nobody else can copy: the "Turtle Tunnel," a private pedestrian tunnel under A1A that carries residents from the neighborhood to their own oceanfront pavilion and beach walkover — kids reach the sand without ever crossing highway traffic. Around 300 homes built across three decades sit on the barrier strip between the Intracoastal and the Atlantic, with a clubhouse, pool, hot tub, tennis, fitness, and a gatehouse with night-guard coverage.

It's the beach-neighborhood value play of the Ponte Vedra corridor: coastal single-family homes from about 1,300 to 4,200 sq ft, most trading between the high-$500s and about $1M — beach access and a gate at a price point PVB-proper oceanside streets left behind years ago.

Fairfield

Ponte Vedra Beach · Solana Rd

Fairfield is Ponte Vedra Beach's everyday staffed gate: a guard house at 50 Fairfield Blvd covering 460+ homes across fifteen small sub-neighborhoods off Solana Road, a walk or bike ride from the beach with Starbucks and groceries literally at the corner. Built from the late 1980s to the mid-1990s, it's one of the few PVB gated communities where you can buy under 2,000 sq ft — townhomes through single-family, zoned for the Ponte Vedra school chain.

Its quietly rare amenity: a dedicated resident boat-and-RV storage lot inside the gate — nearly unheard of in Ponte Vedra Beach — alongside a clubhouse, pool, playgrounds, and thirteen lakes. Homes typically trade in the $600s–$900s, which for a staffed gate in 32082 is the area's most attainable combination.

Grand Cay Villas

Ponte Vedra Beach · by TPC Sawgrass

Grand Cay Villas is the most affordable gated address in 32082 — one- to three-bedroom condos (716–1,364 sq ft) behind an automatic gate essentially next door to TPC Sawgrass, the Sawgrass Marriott, and a few blocks from the beach. Built in 1996 as apartments and converted early, it's the classic entry point into Ponte Vedra Beach schools and location without the Ponte Vedra price.

The complex runs on lock-and-leave logic: clubhouse, pool, fitness center, playground, even a car-care center, with some units carrying garages. Two honest notes: PLAYERS week makes it perennially popular (and rentable), and as a mid-90s conversion, the association's reserve and milestone documents deserve a careful read before you write the offer. Units typically trade from the high-$100s to the mid-$300s.

The club gates, covered in the golf guide

Sawgrass Country Club (the only gates east of A1A), the Sawgrass Players Club around TPC, Marsh Landing's two guard gates, and The Plantation's manned entry are compared in depth — membership economics included — in the Ponte Vedra Beach golf communities guide. The gated Del Webb communities live in the 55+ hub.

Frequently asked questions

Which Ponte Vedra Beach gated communities are guard-gated?

Fairfield has a staffed guard house off Solana Road, and among the club communities Marsh Landing runs two guard gates and The Plantation is manned. Turtle Shores uses night-guard coverage, and Grand Cay Villas is an automatic gate.

What is the most affordable gated community in Ponte Vedra Beach?

Grand Cay Villas — gated condos next to TPC Sawgrass, a mid-90s apartment-to-condo conversion with pool, fitness, and clubhouse. It's the entry point into 32082 schools and location; being an older conversion, the association's reserve and milestone documents deserve a careful read.

Are there gated communities in Ponte Vedra with beach access?

Turtle Shores is the standout — a gated neighborhood on the A1A corridor with a private pedestrian tunnel under the highway to its own oceanfront pavilion and walkover, so residents reach the sand without crossing traffic. Sawgrass Country Club (covered in the golf guide) is the other gated beach-side address.

Is there new construction in Ponte Vedra Beach's gated communities?

Essentially no — the gated communities in Ponte Vedra Beach proper are built out, so gated listings in 32082 are almost all resale, with only the occasional custom build or teardown-rebuild inside a club community. The nearest gated new construction carries Ponte Vedra addresses on the Nocatee side of the Intracoastal — Toll Brothers' Marsh Harbor phase — covered in the St. Johns County guides.

Is Coastal Oaks at Nocatee in Ponte Vedra Beach?

No — Coastal Oaks, Marsh Harbor, and the Del Webb villages carry "Ponte Vedra" mailing addresses but sit in 32081 on the Nocatee side of the Intracoastal, not in Ponte Vedra Beach proper, so they aren't listed on this page. Coastal Oaks runs a 24-hour manned gatehouse — the only staffed gate among Nocatee's villages — and Riverwood (Del Webb Ponte Vedra) and Del Webb Nocatee gate separately. All are covered in the St. Johns County gated and 55+ guides.
