About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A+++ Best Beachfront on Crescent Beach

Location, location, location, says it all. You will not find another listing this PRIVATE & QUIET on this ocean beach. No condo hallways, no strangers or neighbors you can hear. This house has a private walkway to spectacular Crescent Beach. You won't even see another person -- unless you want to. Hit the beach for a swim or a walk (you can go for miles) there are restaurants and bars within walking distance, but at the house, it's you and the ocean.

One of very few privately owned houses ON Crescent Beach for rent. Consistently best reviews for Crescent Beach on VRBO. It is simply the best.
80% of our guests are return renters.

If you want, jump into the car and the world of zoo's, museums, architecture and history is yours. Dozens of parks and ecological destinations within miles. Rent a bike, board, horse or a kayak to see things from another angle-- but... it's not easy to leave that deck!
Please take time to read the REVIEWS, this house does not disappoint.

Perfect house for the family refresh, Big Chill week, girls get away OR a romantic honeymoon or anniversary! 3,000 sq ft. with room for everyone to have space of their own.

Private

The whole house is HUGE and nice with fully stocked kitchen :) it does seem a bit outdated tho A long walk to the beach from what we’re used to but it was last minute booking due to hurricane Helene ruining our original plans. Make sure to bring extra paper products, only half roll of t.p. and dishwashing tablets as there were only 4. I think the cleaner had to leave in a hurry per owner response. Ann, the owner was GREAT and quickly responsive to everything!

Amazing Beach House

We were fortunate this year to stay two weeks! The house is perfect. The location is perfect. We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary with our boys and their significant others. My husband helped out the volunteers on turtle beach patrol this year and loved every minute! We enjoyed seeing a large box turtle up by the deck. We even saw a small stingray swim along the shore . Ann is such a great host and easy to contact when needed. Until next time!!

Breathtaking!

This is not just a rental property. This is a home. It has breathtaking views of the beach from the house. However, it’s so private you don’t know anyone else is on the beach until you go down to the beach! We had an amazing time and the beach was beautiful. I have not been to the Atlantic side before this trip. We will definitely come back and stay again. It’s very hard to leave this place. This home is beautiful and very well stocked, and we will definitely come back.

Cozy, Comfortable, and Beautiful

Loved our stay! Even better than the pictures. Wonderful week with our adult children. The layout in this house is so unique. It has great character and comfort. Spacious enough to give everyone room and cozy enough with lots of places to sit and visit. Great views of the ocean and we loved the beach accessibility. Appreciated the owner’s suggestion of Viola’s for dinner. Delicious! Short walk down the beach to Safe Harbor and really enjoyed our fresh fish meals. Kitchen was set up with everything we needed for cooking as well. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful location

Wonderful location and loved its location - 1 minute walk down your private walk to the beach and short drive to downtown St Augustine (close but not too close). My adult kids, husband, and I LOVED the house / perfect layout. The owner is super nice, very attentive if you have questions. We’d stay there again!

Everything was better than described. Very well stocked. Everything anyone could need. The deck is the place to be. The view and sound of the ocean is incredible. Check in and out could not be any easier. I wish I was a better writer to give the review that this place deserves. I would definitely make a return visit

This is why the beach house gets consistent 5 star ratings

It is a beautiful home that has all of the "lived in" atmosphere with such tasteful decor of furniture, artwork and a million books. The house has a panoramic view of the ocean and a deck that provides a laid back experience of watching the surf change, with drinks in hand and wonderful conversation all in one. Our group of six were all delighted with every aspect of their experiences with this wonderful home and the great beach that it overlooks. We will be back!

Beautiful retreat!

House was very nice!! The views were fantastic. I was hoping for a little bit more of a private beach but very busy! House was well stocked and Ann was awesome to let us use all of her beach supplies since we flew. Only complaints were the pillows and no TV in master bedroom. But all in all it was a great vacation at crescent beach.
