Pablo Cove

With quick access to Jacksonville Beach, the Mayo Clinic, St. Johns Town Center, and the J. Turner Butler Boulevard (JTB) corridor, Pablo Cove gives you a connected location while keeping the privacy and low-maintenance comfort of a gated community.

This guide covers the homes, amenities, schools, location, and the everyday details that matter when you're deciding whether Pablo Cove Jacksonville is the right fit.

Pablo Cove at a Glance

Homes in Pablo Cove

The townhomes at Pablo Cove were built by Mattamy Homes, one of the largest privately owned homebuilders in North America, and they pair a clean coastal look with practical, livable layouts.

Floorplans run from roughly 1,580 to 2,180 square feet.

Each home offers three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and an attached two-car garage. The open main living areas connect the kitchen, dining, and family space, so the floorplans feel larger than the square footage suggests and work well for both quiet nights in and having people over.

A few things buyers tend to appreciate:

• Kitchens are built for real life, with generous counter and cabinet space, a center island in most plans, and room to actually cook and gather.
• Primary suites with walk-in closets are typically set apart from the secondary bedrooms for a little extra privacy.
• Private outdoor space off the main living area are ideal for a morning coffee or an evening unwind.
• Smart storage is used throughout, plus the two-car garage for cars, bikes, beach gear, and the rest.
• Select homes have water views, which add a calmer backdrop to daily life.

Because these are townhomes in a gated community with an HOA handling exterior and grounds maintenance, Pablo Cove works well for a lock-and-leave lifestyle.

That makes it a practical choice for Mayo Clinic professionals, second-home owners, busy households, and anyone who would rather spend weekends at the beach than on yard work.

A note on availability: Mattamy Homes has sold out of new construction at Pablo Cove, so homes here now come up on the resale market. Inventory moves quickly in this part of Jacksonville, so it helps to work with an agent who can flag listings early.

Pablo Cove was designed so the amenities feel like an extension of home rather than an afterthought. Behind the gated entrance, residents have access to:

• A resort-style pool with a sun deck and lounge area.
• A pavilion and cabana for shade, gatherings, and a place to relax with neighbors.

• A recreation lawn with open space for lawn games and casual outdoor time.
• A firepit and picnic areas for cooler evenings and weekend get-togethers.
• A conveniently located dog park.
• Walking paths and well-kept common grounds throughout the community.

Add in the gated entry and ongoing grounds maintenance, and the day-to-day experience at Pablo Cove leans toward comfortable and low-effort.
