Two of my favorite restaurants to visit by sea or land are Cap’s on the Water and The Conch House Restaurant. Cap’s offers new coastal cuisine in an old Florida setting, while The Conch House is known for delectable Caribbean style cooking. Regardless which style you prefer, they both deliver fresh Florida seafood and outstanding service.
Serenata Beach Club is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy the beautiful summer skies, and also keep everyone in the family entertained with amenities and activities galore! Located between Jacksonville and St. Augustine in South Ponte Vedra Beach, this private beach club is just 15 minutes for Ponte Vedra residents, 20 minutes from many North Florida communities, including World Golf Village, Nocatee, Palencia, Murabella and Kensington, and 30 minutes from Julington Creek. What’s more is a membership is more affordable than you think.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Davidson Cares 2.0! Davidson Realty and the Davidson Companies’ successful corporate giving program demonstrates our commitment to local education, and this year’s program promises to have an even greater impact than last year.
Our program provides financial support to schools in the World Golf Village area, including Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School. During the 2012-2013 school year we raised a total of $11,300 in less than six months for the four schools. This year’s bar is set even higher!
St. Andrews Place is a private neighborhood made up of only 64 patio homes located on the Slammer & Squire side of The Neighborhoods of World Golf Village. St. Andrews is only minutes from The Village where you can check out the latest IMAX movie or grab dinner at Villagio Italian Grille. It is also conveniently located near 1-95, so you can travel to Jacksonville or downtown St. Augustine in no time. The community offers its residents secure concrete block homes perfect for retirees, empty nesters or second homeowners. Lawn maintenance and irrigation are included in Homeowners Association fees, so residents have all the freedom and benefits of a single-family home ownership without the hassle of yard maintenance.
Tropical Smoothie is now open in The Shoppes at Murabella! It came at the perfect time when the beach and an ice-cold smoothie are calling your name. I think I can speak for most of my World Golf Village neighbors when I say how excited I am to have a healthy and delicious restaurant right outside the King & Bear gate.
“Eat Better. Feel Better.” Tropical Smoothie offers fresh food including breakfast, salads, wraps, sandwiches and flatbreads along with real fruit smoothies. My personal favorite is the Peaches N’ Silk with fresh peaches, strawberries and bananas, but you have your pick from low fat smoothies, supercharged smoothies or simply indulgent smoothies. Don’t forget to add in supplements for that extra boost! They offer everything from energizer supplements to stress defense supplements.
For our third blog on Legacy Builders, we took advantage of the beautiful North Florida weather and joined President of Legacy Builders of North Florida John Unkefer at one of his homes under construction in World Golf Village’s King & Bear community. In this video, John tells us all about their new construction projects in and around Jacksonville and we explore the inside of the beautiful Legacy Builders home in the King & Bear to better understand the construction process. Join us!
Davidson Realty President Sherry Davidson and I were excited to get a personal tour of Palencia Elementary School (PES) from Principal Don Campbell. Don has been in education for more than 40 years and specializes in opening new schools, such as Wards Creek Elementary in World Golf Village, and now Palencia Elementary, which opened in August of 2012. Palencia Elementary is one of our most leading edge St. Johns County Schools and caters to 738 students. Come along with us for a tour!
Davidson Realty launched their non-profit foundation, Davidson Cares, in November of 2013 to offer support for local schools in the World Golf Village area, including Mill Creek Elementary, Wards Creek Elementary, Palencia Elementary and Pacetti Bay Middle School. Davidson Cares has given a total of $11,300 to the four schools mentioned above in less than six months!
I, along with many of my World Golf Village neighbors, have been waiting for a great sushi and hibachi grilled table restaurant to come to our area for quite some time now. Luckily, our prayers have been answered! Sumo Sushi is a Japanese Steak House that recently opened off of CR 210 (right behind the McDonalds) and is the perfect place for a date night, lunch date, friends get-together or celebrating a birthday!
Calling all our female World Golf Village neighbors and friends! Get ready for Davidson Realty’s Third Annual Women’s Mixer on Thursday, April 25th at 7 pm.
