About this property

Beautiful Oceanfront Penthouse ~ Incredible Views ~ Pool

Get away from it all at this penthouse oceanfront paradise. The 180-degree views are spectacular from the common areas with a full wall of glass doors! Grab your morning coffee and sit on the expansive deck to watch the colorful sun rise over the horizon. Take a walk down the stairs and your toes are in the white sandy beach. And the beach— with the limited public access — is perfect for shell hunting, fishing, swimming, surfing, or just sitting! Spend the day watching the tide going out of the Inlet creating tide pools to wade in and then watch the tide rise as the waves splash against “The Rocks” - limestone and coquina formations. The beach seems to change every day. Finish your day with dinner — either cooked in your well- equipped kitchen or from one of the great local restaurants — taking in the pink and blue hues as the sun sets on a perfect Summer Haven day.

The third floor walk-up has an open concept living space with volume ceilings is great to gather for dinner after a day on the beach or to watch the big game.

When it is time to rest, the condominium has two large bedrooms -- one bedroom with a king bed and the second with two full size beds. For added flexibility, there is also a large sleeping nook accessed from the living/tv room (see images). The nook has a twin and full bed with a small sitting area.

Summer Haven Beach is located just south of Saint Augustine historic district by about 10 minutes. There are plenty of attractions near the rental – Fort Matanzas, Marineland, Fishing, State Parks, to name a few. If there is more, you are seeking, it is more you shall find. Head into Saint Augustine for some history and shopping. Continue north a bit for Jacksonville, and maybe take in a Jacksonville Jaguars NFL team. Possibly a round of golf in Sawgrass Ponte Vedra, or 18 holes at the World Golf Village?

Head south from the vacation rental to hit Flagler Beach, Daytona Beach, and eventually, Cape Canaveral. All within a short drive. Orlando theme parks like Disney and Universal Studios are just a day trip away. Relax at the beach, hit the theme parks, and come back for more relaxation at Crescent Beach.

Wonderful vacation

Everything about this was perfect. The view from the back deck was beautiful and provided quick access to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking equipment and the outside closet had a great variety of beach toys. We saw sea turtles, shrimp, crabs, fish, and dolphins. We will definitely stay again!

Our stay was very relaxing. The Veranda was our favorite. The beach was quiet and the kids loved it along with the pool. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds were comfortable. Plenty of towels and the large walk-in shower was nice. Guest had left some nice beach items like chairs and beach toys, which was helpful. We loved having direct access to the beach, you cannot beat that. We did have some difficulty with the stairs especially upon arrival trying to carry our suitcases, groceries etc... but we knew that already based on previous reviews. The place is in need of a deep clean and updating. It was nice having a reserved carport and we were glad to stay in a gated area. Personally I would stick with no more than 4 guest as the steps to the "sleeping nook" safety is questionable.

Oceanview Deck

The location can't be beat. The oceanview deck is absolutely fantastic, and worthy of ten stars. The giant chocolate lab in unit 6 below us barked for 2 1/2 days straight and that was a significant distraction. Otherwise, the good far outweighed the bad.

Amazing views

We really enjoyed our stay. The unit was clean. It’s older but well maintained. The kitchen is well equipped. The views are wonderful! The beds were comfy with lots of pillows. The master bedroom shower was very spacious. You do have to climb a lot of stairs to get there, but the ocean view is worth it.

Great location

The property is older and needs a bit of updating, but the location makes up for that issue. The website shows extra beds which were actually in a closet complete with duct work. Two adults slept there which was very challenging. Overall, it’s acceptable for the purposes we had.

If you’re looking for a place to take your dogs to the beach, this is it!! Easy beach access, not a ton of people, beautiful weather, and the best back porch ever. We loved every minute and wished we could stay longer. 10/10 will definitely be back.

Wonderfully relaxing place to stay. Condo has everything you need for a great vacation. Private covered balcony makes this idyllic - we spent 95% of our time out there, the shade was great and the height (yes - worth every one of the steps) means there always a beautiful ocean breeze! We will be back for sure!

Beautiful Beach Stay

We have been going to Crescent Beach for a while now. We were excited to find another condo on the same beach we have grown accustomed to. This property did not disappoint. It was clean and well maintained. More importantly, the view was fantastic. Hard to beat seeing the beach every morning and only being a staircase away from enjoying the sand. We will definitely be booking another stay in this condo.

Amazing almost private beach.

Nice direct walk down to clean almost secluded beach. Beach is very clean. Beach is dog friendly as well. About 20 minutes from St Augustine. No fast food but a nice Publix and some seafood spots close. Condo is as pictured. Not updated but suited our purpose.
