We asked dozens of Nocatee teens what was missing. The answers barely varied: somewhere to hang, good setups, food, and no one hovering. So that's what we built.

01
The Setup

Gaming hub, pool table, ping pong, chess and board games, selfie station, podcast studio, study rooms, fast WiFi. Snacks on the house.

02
The Scene

Tournaments, movie nights, themed nights — something's on most days you show up.

03
The Keys

Members plan the events and set the culture. Teen Council seats count as leadership on college apps.

Inside The Link

Same building as the founders.

The Lounge sits inside The Link — Nocatee's innovation center. Startups, founders and film crews work under the same roof, and you'll pass them on the way to the game room.

Walking in alone?

Most of the founding class did.

No friend group required, and nobody has to perform. There's always something small to drop into — a game, a movie, a workshop — and ambassadors who make sure nobody's left standing by the door. Most first visits start alone. They don't end that way.

"I built The Link so founders in Nocatee had a place to build. And I kept noticing the same thing: this community is full of teenagers with drive and curiosity — and nowhere to point it. School ends, and the options are a parking lot, a coffee shop, or a screen. So we built the Teen Lounge. A home base where teens are treated like builders — in the same building that is full of people creating companies, shows, technology and new ideas. You can meet them, learn from them—or build your own thing."

— Raghu Misra — Founder, The Link

Questions

You probably have questions.

What is there for teens to do in Nocatee?
The Teen Lounge @ The Link is Nocatee's dedicated clubhouse for ages 13–17 — open six days a week in Town Center. Gaming hub, pool table, study rooms, free snacks, weekly events, and a Teen Council leadership program.
What if I don't know anyone there?
Most of the founding class showed up without knowing anyone. Ambassadors greet new members, and there's always something small to drop into — a game, a workshop, a movie.
Is it supervised?
Yes. Adult staff are on-site every hour the Lounge is open, access is controlled, and the space is substance-free.
How much does it cost?
The founding rate is $59/mo. The standard rate rises toward $99/mo as founding spots fill. Nothing is charged until a parent confirms.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly membership, cancel anytime from the dashboard — no contracts, no cancel fees, no phone calls.
Where is the Teen Lounge located?
Inside The Link at 425 Town Plaza Ave, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081 — the heart of Nocatee Town Center, walkable and bikeable for most of Nocatee.
Which schools and neighborhoods does it serve?
Teens 13–17 from across the area — students of Nease, Ponte Vedra, and Beachside High, and teens from Nocatee, Beacon Lake, Beachwalk, Ponte Vedra Beach, Sawgrass, Plantation, Palm Valley, and St. Johns.
Who actually runs it?
The teens do. Members plan the events and set the culture, and the 5-team Teen Council runs the Lounge alongside adult staff who are on-site every hour.

Games, music, food and people you actually know.

Somewhere to go after school where people know your name. Doors are open now.
