About this home
Dolphin Cove
Live the Ponte Vedra Beach lifestyle without the HOA or CDD fees! Bonus enclosed area in addition to the appraised square footage (appx 200 sqft). This is the lowest-priced pool home in all of Ponte Vedra Beach (by $300K) and it's just steps to the ocean in highly sought-after Dolphin Cove. Incredible opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in the top-rated St. Johns County 10/10 school district. Enjoy your private backyard oasis featuring a recently resurfaced pool, brand-new paver driveway, newer roof, Pella windows, new HVAC system, and new hot water heater. Perfect as a primary residence, beach getaway, or investment property. Walk or bike to the beach and enjoy being minutes from world-class golf, dining, shopping, and everything Ponte Vedra Beach has to offer. Rarely does a move-in ready pool home this close to the ocean become available at this price point. Don't miss your chance to own a slice of paradise! Brand new furniture is also negotiable!

Cost to own
True monthly cost
What this home actually costs per month at the asking price — not just the mortgage.
- • Homeowners insurance is on top — in Florida it varies widely with roof age and wind/flood zone (see the Reality Check below). Budget it before you offer.
- • In CDD communities (Nocatee, eTown, Seven Pines…), bond assessments are collected on the property-tax bill, and the amount varies home to home — a prior owner may have prepaid the bond — so we confirm this home’s exact line rather than trust a community average.
- • Taxes are estimated at YOUR purchase price — Florida assessments reset on sale, so the seller’s current bill is usually lower than yours will be (that applies to the reference bill above too).

Storms & insurance
Florida Reality Check
The storm-and-insurance facts every Florida buyer should know up front.
Zone X — minimal flood hazard
Flood insurance is typically not required by lenders (always optional).
Flood damage is not covered by standard homeowners insurance — it’s always a separate policy.
Hurricane evacuation zone B
Zone B evacuates after zone A in an approaching storm.
Roof: material not specified — year not disclosed (home built 1976)
Roof age drives Florida insurance pricing more than anything else — worth confirming before you offer.
Sewer · St Johns County Utilities - accounts · Public water · St Johns County Utilities - water accounts
County records show this parcel on central sewer served by St Johns County Utilities - accounts — no septic system to inspect or maintain.
Source: Florida DOH Water Management Inventory (public record).
Krista can connect you with local insurance quotes before you make an offer.
Ask about this homeAs of July 2026, this Reality Check is informational only — it draws on FEMA/FDEM hazard layers, Florida DOH water records, and the listing’s own fields at this property’s coordinates. None of it is a determination, survey, or inspection, and public records can lag or conflict with on-site conditions. Independently verify anything you’ll rely on: the flood zone at msc.fema.gov and floridadisaster.org/knowyourzone (and confirm flood-insurance cost with your lender and a licensed insurance agent), and the sewer/septic, roof, and utilities with a professional inspection.

Florida’s Save Our Homes cap limits how fast the current owner’s assessment can rise — and it resets when a home sells, so a buyer’s tax bill is typically based on the purchase price, not the seller’s bill above. Estimate uses the median effective rate across 1,595 current St. Johns listings and includes typical non-ad-valorem assessments; actual taxes depend on exemptions and taxing district.
