Great place right on the beach

This property is a fantastic location. You can walk down the boardwalk right to the beach. The master suite has views from the bathrooms of sunset, and views from the bed of sunrise. Well equipped and spacious. There is one bedroom (master suite) on the top floor, and two bedrooms on the main floor. A quick drive into downtown and convenient for the sites.

Unique beach getaway perfect

The property is unique in many ways as others reviewed. The art work is awesome. The layout and view of the ocean from 2 story windows is the center piece of the house with 2 patios along with the private walk way over the dunes to the beach. Expect stairs, thats the main thing walking up to the house, if course second floor master suite, and down to the beach. Kitchen has everything you need, plenty of space, ability to wash clothes, and grill out all you want. Also a fresh seafood market less than 3 minutes down the road. Truly loved being able to stay here! Hope to again one day!

Nice Place

The owners are very easy to work with. There was a good amount of parking. The warning about the steps is something to consider with smaller children. There are a lot of steps to get into the house and down the boardwalk, but it was really nice that we had our own private entry way to the beach and there were two stations to wash off your feet and dogs. Fair warning to bring something to protect your dogs feet because the boardwalk can get pretty hot. The cleaning crew isn’t the best. We found a fry next to the couch and a couple of roaches, but overall the place was really nice. Beautiful deck and scenery and in a very quiet neighborhood. The section of the beach wasn’t too crowded either which was great. I also loved that we all had our own bathroom. The upstairs bed/bath combo is gorgeous and very spacious. I would recommend this place to larger families.

Paradise

This was our quick yearly staycation getaway before school started. This house is definitely our favorite. The views from all the windows and balconies were completely breathtaking. The beach was never overly crowded and it was so convenient to have your own walkway to and from the beach. PP were accurate when saying, this house is fully equipped with all you could possibly need. It was very clean, incredibly interesting with all the unique decor and I met the host personally who was very nice. Our 5 year old pug loved the house as well. Beds were super comfortable as well. My kids enjoyed having their own bedrooms. We take yearly trips to the St. Augustine area and would love to stay in this beautiful home again.

About the host

Hosted by Gary Moore

I am a Marine Engineer in the Merchant Marines. (I work on ships).
My job has given me the opportunity to travel throughout the world as you will see from the art and furnishings in the house.

Why they chose this property

This area of Crescent Beach is nice and less crowds.
This was a little 1000 sq ft ,2 bedroom 1 bath beach house with no A/C. In 1991-2 I remodeled and expanded the house to what it is today. Over the years additional improvements have been done.
