We're in the process of looking for a house in the Ponte Vedra Beach area. While our focus has been on North Ponte Vedra Beach, we've found some houses in the Turtle Shores neighborhood, which is roughly 3.5 miles north of Vilano Beach Town Center.

I had a few questions regarding the area I'm hoping someone can answer:

1) Traffic - we were on A1A mid-week and on the weekend this past August and there was little traffic. But we're wondering during different times of year, and more importantly, during rush hour, what is the traffic like getting into St. Augustine at 7am?

2) Marsh Bugs, Wildlife and Smell - as this community (and many on the north coast of FL) is sitting up against the marsh, we're wondering what kind of bugs and wildlife we'd encounter on a daily basis. I mean here in West Central Florida we have plenty of mosquitoes, love bugs, snakes, alligators, etc, etc....so we're not scared of that stuff, more so just wondering what we'd encounter in PVB. Also, is there a smell or stink that comes from the marsh? and if so, how bad does it get middle of summer?

3) We've read and have been told that the PVB schools are far better than the St. Augustine schools which are zoned for the Turtle Shores/South PVB area. Does anyone have any input on this?

Thanks so much!

I'd recommend posting in the Jacksonville forum, where people who live in that area tend to congregate. The general Florida forum (this one) covers areas without a specific forum or for general topics geared toward Florida itself. Good luck!
