About this property

AFFORDABLE AND OCEAN VIEW! Ground floor 1 bedroom condo overlooking the pool

Creston House 8B is a perfect getaway location. The resort is quaint and very well taken care of, you don't get that "overcrowded condo complex" feeling.

The condo has a king size bed in bedroom and queen size sleeper sofa, including all linens needed for a restful night. There is a full kitchen with all cookware, dishes and utensils provided. There is plenty of space to unwind after fun-filled days spent at the beach, sightseeing or golfing. It is an oceanfront complex with a large pool and private beach access. You can enjoy all the amenities or simply relax in the comfort of your own beach front paradise.

The living room is pleasant and roomy, with a 55" TV, and sliding doors leading out to the porch. Step off the porch just a few steps and enjoy a morning dip in the pool, or a few minutes on the private walkway over the dunes to a white sand beach to enjoy beautiful sunrises over the crashing surf of the ocean. It is definitely worth getting up early for, guaranteed! Or just sit back and relax on the porch, maybe enjoying your favorite beverage.

The dining room is just beyond the living room with seating for 4, to enjoy a meal or a rousing game of cards. And if you bring your laptop, which of course we all do, there is a roomy desk ready to spend some Facebook time at, sharing your photos of your stay with your friends, to let them know what a fabulous time you are having. There is free wireless internet throughout your stay.

The kitchen is adjacent to the dining area in this open floor plan design. You'll find everything you need to prepare those meals when you are chilling in, or there are restaurants within walking distance with great food.

When it's finally time to retire after a fun filled day spent enjoying one of the many activities there is to do in St. Augustine, you will sleep soundly in the large, comfy king size bed. You can also enjoy your favorite tv programs as you lie in comfort, watching the 32' flat screen. The sliding door opens to the sound of the waves crashing, lulling you to sleep. The bathroom is modern and clean, and offers a tub/shower combo.

Perfect Beach Vacation

Right on the beach, with a pool, spotlessly clean, fully furnished (with all kitchen appliances and laundry)? What else do you need? We had a wonderful time. The condo was perfect for the two of us. It had beach toys, chairs, and towels. We definitely would return if back in the area.

Terrific!

Loved this condo. Not only was it very clean, up to date and well maintained, but it was also very well equipped, which isn't the case with many beach rentals. Having a washer and dryer in the unit was a great amenity. We enjoyed having both the beautiful beach AND a pool. We also appreciated that the pictures on the website are exactly what we saw when we arrived. We would definitely recommend this condo and hope to stay there again.

Wonderful beach getaway !

Very nicely decorated and fully equipped and stocked unit. Being on the first floor it was very nice not having to carry our luggage up stairs. The small patio area is wonderful. . . always nicely shaded. Good place to sit and drink coffee in the morning or sit and read during the afternoon. The beach is wide, white and beautiful. The pool is large enough for the size of the complex and has plenty of lounges. This 1 bedroom is a great place for a couple to rest and relax.

Quiet and relaxing

Great condo complex! The condo itself was clean and comfortable. The pool is well maintained. Creston House had a great family atmosphere and was very quiet, which my wife and I loved. The only negative I would give this particular condo is that the curtains in the bedroom are white and face the morning sun so I hope you don't like sleeping in. Other than that, everything was wonderful! About a 10 min drive to downtown St Augustine. Would definitely stay here again!

Creston Beach condo

My husband and I drove down from Buffalo, NY to St Augustine, FL to celebrate our 21st anniversary and my 51st birthday. From the moment we walked into this condo we were blown away by the size, cleanliness and how every little thing you could possibly want from the kitchen, to the linens, beach toys, chairs etc was right there waiting for us. The pictures are exactly how you will find this gem. We were right off the pool and steps away from a beautiful beach that was privately gated. Bill was great to deal with and we had such an amazing time exploring St Augustine for the first time that we are planning to come back next year. Do not hesitiate to book this beautiful property , you will not be disappointed!! Sincerely, Kenn and Dawn K. Buffalo, NY

Perfect vacation, second year in a row!

This is our second stay in this unit. It works out perfect for my wife and I - that's why we came back. We just feel at home in this unit - the pictures really are "what you see is what you get." Super clean, well stocked, functional, very handy to the pool and the beach. There are extras as well - beach chairs, noodles, beach towels, and more. Not only is the condo a great fit for us but we really like the feel of the complex. Not too big, not too small, just right. We never had an issue with parking close to the unit and we loved the view out of the unit's patio doors - you look right out at the pool and courtyard - we like the grassy view and feel - makes it seem like home. Plenty of seating at the pool too and not noisy and rowdy like many places. Lastly, we love the St Augustine area - plenty to do and see and the condo is handy to everything we needed. I cant say enough about the owners. I am old school and Bill always promptly replied back to any questions we asked. Everything was just as he said and that's just good business. We hope to visit again next year!

All we could have wanted and more. Bill has all the bases covered with this unit. The Unit was impeccably clean an had every convenience we could have wanted. The pool area was also incredible - the pool was spotless and the beach was just close enough - less than a 5 minute walk.We couldn't have asked for more. Bill has thought of everything with this unit. It was impeccably clean and had every convenience we desired. The pool area was fantastic—the pool was spotless, and the beach was conveniently located just a short walk away, less than five minutes. Would definitely plan on going back and would recommend to anyone looking for a place in St. Augustine away from the hub-bub of the downtown area which was only a pleasant 20 minute drive.

What a lovely time we had! The hosts were incredibly prompt responders and worked with us to make sure that we were able to take our vacation, regardless of some inclement weather that was forecasted. The beautiful, bright, clean, and open condo right on the beach was a restful home base to enjoy the outdoors and the city. (And every amenity was working well and provided for us!) will definitely be back:)

Beach Condo

The Condo was close to the pool and the beach. The house was clean, and there wasn't any absurd cleaning instructions for us. There were some pool toys and chairs in the closet. The beach was only a 5 minute walk or less. St. Augustine was less than a 20 minute drive. Everyone at the location kept to themselves. The bed is high up off the ground, and it's very soft. The pull out bed in the living room was comfortable as well. Great place to stay.
