Splitters Find Resort Lifestyle at Ocean’s Edge

February 11th, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Have you heard of splitters before? If not, you are in for a surprise and a little envy.

Ocean\'s Edge

Splitters are those lucky enough to be able to split their time between a primary residence and a vacation home. The most attractive element of this lifestyle is that these weekend trailblazers don’t have to travel hundreds of miles for a relaxing getaway – they are finding their vacation home only minutes away from their primary residence at Ocean’s Edge, the beachside community of condominium homes located in Jacksonville Beach across the street from the Atlantic Ocean. Here’s a little inside scoop from one such splitter.

“We spend most of our weekends and a majority of our summers at Ocean’s Edge, which is only 35 minutes from our primary home,” said Bernie McCarthy, whose permanent residence is in Hidden Hills at Fort Caroline in Jacksonville. He retreats to Ocean’s Edge with his wife, Iva Nathanson, for weekend getaways and summer vacations. “When we are at Ocean’s Edge, it is like living in a resort with the landscaping and amenities. We also love being able to walk across the street for dinner and then down to the ocean to take a walk along the beach. It’s an amazing location.”

According to an interview with the Ocean’s Edge team, McCarthy and Nathanson are among many other splitters at Ocean’s Edge who enjoy the community’s coastal living and resort-style amenities, such as its entertaining clubhouse featuring a state-of-the-art fitness center, resort-style pool and lagoon, poolside outdoor grill and summer kitchen, lake with observation deck, and a private putting green. The community’s location also situates residents within walking distance of local dining, nightlife and retail venues while allowing them the opportunity to experience the beach lifestyle. Here’s what another splitter had to say about the lifestyle.

Ocean\'s Edge Splitters“The location of this community is perfect for us,” said Sandy Buckley, who spends nearly every weekend at Ocean’s Edge with her husband, Jim Buckley. The couple’s primary residence is in Ormond Beach, but they have a condominium at Ocean’s Edge to visit family in Jacksonville. “Ocean’s Edge is quiet and feels like a resort, yet it is located close to all the restaurants, nightlife in Atlantic Beach, malls and grocery stores. We feel like we’re on a mini-vacation every weekend.”

Homes at Ocean’s Edge are priced from $161,000 and range in size up to 1,417 square feet of living space. More information about the homes and lifestyle at Ocean’s Edge is available online at www.oceansedgeliving.com.
