About this property

A Shore Thing - Coastal home w/ foosball & porch

Wake up to gulf breezes and the occasional dolphin gliding past the shoreline. This five-bedroom beach house in Crescent Beach, just south of St. Augustine Beach, spans three levels connected by an elevator, with room for the whole group to spread out and settle in.

Living space
The top floor opens into a combined living room, kitchen, and dining area, framed by a wraparound porch with ocean views. The kitchen includes a stove, oven, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, toaster, and dining table for gathering after a day at the beach. A powder room rounds out this level.

Sleeping arrangements
The second floor holds three bedrooms and three full bathrooms: a primary suite with a king bed, HDTV, large closet, and en-suite bathroom opening to a private porch; the Flamingo Room with a queen bed and TV sharing a hallway bath with a tub; and a third room with a twin daybed and trundle plus its own bathroom with a shower. Downstairs, a bunk room sleeps guests across two bunk beds with trundles (six beds total), and a fifth bedroom offers a queen bed with a shared full bathroom and glass shower.

Extra space & fun
The ground floor bunk room opens to a covered patio with an outdoor shower. The garage doubles as a game room with a ping pong table and foosball table. Beach essentials - towels, umbrella, blanket, and snorkeling gear - are provided, and drive-on beach access is just a block away.

Balconies were terrific!Please note, AC is in major need of repair, Kitchen sink needs ATTENTION, loose basin, and a working heavy duty garbage disposal. Missing pillow cases. Should have a bigger refrigerator with working ice/water. Ceiling fans / remotes in all the rooms were an issue.

Family Summer Vacation 2024

Lovely home- lots of room for the family and two little ones. It met our needs. Kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The view was great! Beach access was good too. Couple of things I would recommend- the living room furniture was soiled and dirty- so was the rug. The rug had large stains and very dirty - we have an 8 month old that is crawling-I didn’t want her on the rug. Not enough towels- had to purchase detergent to wash them so we would have clean ones for the week. Otherwise - good place!

Family Gathering

The house is beautiful andnplenty of space for our group of 11 people. The managing company were excellent with communication. You can hear the waves of the beach and great breezes even thiugh you are ine house away from beachfront. The reason why this is not a top rating is that the living space furniture was stained, carpet stains, chair backs with holes. This is pet friendly as to why we chose it, but living space smelled like a musty dog. Hurrican Milton came through the week prior and the management company called to say the i side was fine but exterior soffits and ceili g fans were torn away. We k ew this going in but the soffit that remained flapped in the wi d and kept some people up as their bedrooms backed up to the porches. Also, picture shows a one story house Cross from it with clear views of the beach, when in reality there is a 3 story home being built in its place. So obstructed view straight on. Overall great weekeknd for the family, but we had to refresh with febreeze when we arrived!

Beautiful Beach House with a minor hiccup

The house was beautiful and just as advertised for the most part. We stayed 5 weeks with my husband periodically flying back to Iowa to work as he hasn’t retired, yet. I had the place to myself (& Gilmore our Frenchie) with each of our adult daughters taking a week to visit with the grandchildren ages 8 mths, 4, 14 & 16. Everyone enjoyed the area and of course the easy access to the beach. The only sour note was the neighbor woman that lived directly across Pelican way. A very unhappy person. Made sure I knew not to “come near her property or she will call the police and I do not have to warn you. This is your warning!” Told my daughter she needed to go on a treadmill & would often make an “off comment” whenever any of us were outside. Caught site of her with binoculars pointed @ the house, even! The day we drove home, we hooked up a U Haul trailer to our van to bring things we had stored in a storage unit in St Augustine. We parked it at the end of the drive to load what I had brought down at the start of the vacay and she stood on her deck with her phone and said, “I’m videoing you so I will have this if you are stealing from that house” I can understand why no one would want to live near her full time…better to have renters! Lol

Fantastic property but....

My family and I stayed at this property for 5 days and we had a great time. The property was clean and enjoyable. However, there were a few things that made for small inconveniences and one major thing which is the reason we won't be coming back to this property for our next family vacation to St. Augustine. The reason my family and I will not be coming back to this property is because after my family and I returned home, the management company contacted me saying that they charged my card $320 extra dollars because they found "evidence" of us having pets in the house during our stay. We never had any animals or pets in the house during our stay. I emailed the management company back asking for additional information, explaining we never had any pets in the house and that I was not happy with them charging my card without them contacting me first and the property management company simply never responded. There were cameras in the house that the company could have checked to verify we never had pets in the house but they chose to lose my continued business over $320 of fraudulent fees. Bad customer service. The small inconveniences: The house has 5 bedrooms and sleeps 12, however the property management company only left us one roll of paper towels and one dishwasher pod for our entire stay. I'm not suggesting that this ruined our trip but we paid a significant amount of money for this property and expected a bit more from the management company on this front.

The Patel family had an absolutely wonderful stay at A Shore Thing! From the moment we arrived, we could immediately tell how much care and attention was put into creating a welcoming experience. The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, spacious, and felt incredibly warm and inviting. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and it truly felt like a home away from home rather than just a rental property.The location was excellent, and the atmosphere made it easy for our entire family to relax, spend quality time together, and create memories we will cherish. We especially appreciated the comfortable layout and the overall feeling that the hosts genuinely care about giving guests a great experience. We have stayed at many vacation homes over the years, and this was one of our favorite family stays.The only unfortunate issue had nothing to do with the property itself, but with a neighboring resident across from the home. During our stay, she repeatedly created an uncomfortable environment by appearing to intentionally set off her car alarm, making inappropriate comments toward younger family members, and recording videos of our family without permission. While this was disappointing, it does not reflect the quality of the home or the hosts. We would absolutely recommend this property and hope this situation is addressed because A Shore Thing truly deserves its great reputation.

This home was such a wonderful place to stay for our family and we are so glad we booked it! The beds were comfortable and the views were amazing! It was an easy, short walk to the beach and enjoyed spending time on the covered porches in the evenings. We had a great stay and I would definitely recommend this home to anyone looking for a vacation rental!

Great spot to relax

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The porch was amazing. The views were amazing. You can always catch the sunrise from the front porch, but sunsets are hard to catch from the from porch because it sets behind a house. [Go to the beach for that.] The fans under the front porch allow you to be able to sit out there at anytime of the day. The neighbor across the street from the driveway DOES NOT LIKE VISITORS. She basically yelled at me for visiting and staying at the house while I was taking the trash out. The kitchen was the perfect amount of space, the knives are not sharp - so bring your own if you are planning on cooking and chopping. The elevator was a lifesaver for getting all the stuff to the top floor. The space is perfect. We had the best time! The house was clean, there were vacuums, brooms, and plenty of cleaning supplies to be able to clean along the way throughout the week. Highly recommend this location and rental.

Beautiful home with sweeping ocean views!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our extended family of 10 had a wonderful stay! The house is very clean, updated in every way, and spacious. My handicap, elderly mom was comfortable in the lowest level queen bedroom, which has a lovely step-in shower bathroom across the hall, and the elevator worked perfectly. The teens enjoyed the bunk room and the garage ping pong table, although it would be better if the garage had air conditioning. The house was well stocked with everything needed for a wonderful beach vacation- beach chairs/wagons/toys, huge decks, lots of towels, and 2 sets of washers and dryers. The flamingo queen room on the 2nd floor is comfortable for a couple, but, with multi-family vacationing, it would be preferable to offer a king bed. Overall, it was a wonderful place to enjoy family and the beautiful St.Augustine Beach!

I enjoyed the sunrise every morning on the third floor. Gorgeous every day.

We had a great visit at Butler Beach. House was well equipped from the kitchen to the beach towels and toys in the garage. The only problem for my family was the parking. The driveway only had room for three vehicles. Since my family traveled from different areas, it was a problem for us. You could park in a commercial parking lot, but not knowing the area, it was a concern.

We really enjoyed our long weekend. The property is beautiful and description was very accurate. Had a brief issue with cleaners but it was resolved quickly. Neighbors do NOT like that there is a rental in their "working neighborhood" but we were not at the house very much. Our weekend weather wasn't the greatest for beach time so we took off on motorcycle. Overall great long weekend!
